apt-get upgrade (sarge, lilo) - Kernel panic :(
problem jak w temacie. lilo było jednym z pakietów, który był upgradowany (proces instalacji prosił też o odpalenie lilo). Co prawda w międzyczasie kompilowałem sobie nowszy kernel, ale wszystkie zmiany w 'lilo.conf' robiłem z palca, zatem nie powinno to mieć wpływu; po uruchomieniu lilo wszystko było ok. Po reboocie - żaden z 2 kerneli na sarge nie wstaje (STARY PRZECIEŻ POWINIEN!! ;[ ). Sarge postawiłem w czasach, gdy był na kernelu 2.4.26. Komunikat przy padzie jest taki: VFS: Cannon open root device 306 or 03:06 Please append a correct root= boot option Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:06 03:06 (dedukuję) to /dev/hda6 - i tak jest (tak ustawiłem 'rdev'em, tak też podawałem z palca jako parametr do kernela, ale mimo wszystko jest panic). Mam po sąsiedzku chodzącego sarge, ale nie jestem w stanie dojść do sedna problemu (aż się boję uprgadować). Na tym systemie 'rdev /vmlinuz' podaje: Root device /dev/md0. Skopiowanie tego kernela również podaje komunikat o 'cannon open 306 '. Zgaduję, że wszystko rozbija się o devfs. Czyli w /proc/partitions dysk jest jako 'ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc', a nie /dev/hda. Proszę o jakąś pomoc (np. 'man cos').

When you need to process 10,000 or 100,000 of emails, you will find linux MUAs fast and robust. however, it's true that Outlook (express) did the job quite well if mail is to be smaller than 100MB. I'm a chinese, and as a kind of person claiming 'developership', i have a house full of debian boxes, and have played all sorts of source code, yet, i can't find of any way of implementing chinese-compatible (TM) mail-and-news client - the only solution i've think of, and yet established a bnit was to use perl to code all the functions in outlook express into a linux-web application. however, it's proved to be single-user-only and not usable in corporate environment. anyone help?

No offense intended. eh, me too. On unix, if you say that your mua is a piece of shit, it means that you are saying that you are a piece of shit, because you haven't: - read the manual page, which explains why it should do as it does; - read the source code, which explains why it doesn't as it should; - figured out how to configure it to not act as apiece of shit, but instead make coffee, slice bread and do the washing up for you; - written a patch that makes it do your The Right Thing(tm) by default; - forked it to use the much cooler foo widget library instead; - created a dedicational website, that advocates all its limitations as clueful, innovative or standard features; - tried some of the 500 mailer apps available for linux, some of which already do all the above (on the internet, there's always three other nutcases exactly like you). no flames, not flameing also, - instead of reading those f**king codes, why not use the time to implement one? it's much easier to write code than to write posts like this (and this explains why i'm Lamer.) For my servers, yes, they're all running Debian. Seriously, consider learning how to use dselect, if these servers represent any economic value. I don't know where have i seen it, but it's called a thing which will scare little boy (not exact wordings) On the desktop, though, I need *real* applications that allow me to actually accomplish things. I consider sed and awk applications that allow me to accomplish things. Other people say microsoft word is an application that allows them to accomplish things. Likely, they're trying to accomplish different things than I am. very true. but i've written some other weird things like, ASP generator, with perl.. :) i love awk when it comes to print $1... The only question is, what are all the people, who think that they need to fire up microsoft word if they want to send an email, trying to accomplish? It reminds me of the times when I could surprise people by showing that their computer could actually do something else than just run wordperfect 5.1 from autoexec.bat (I stopped trying to explain that part pretty quickly). i don't need Microsoft word to send email, i use outlook express, yet i use TeX/LaTeX (with AMS templates) to do my office word-processing tasks and they've proven to be beautiful and elegent. My favorite example of stereotypically clueless requirements for real applications is where daft management types would argue to me that excel is such a great tool and how one can do everything using excel. Gnumeric did the job quite well, isn't it... :) // boss stare mode on, email mode quit... reply below later.. So I would be nice to them and send them data in comma seperated values format, thinking that they would be able to import it, being excel wizards as they suggested they were. Though luck. It didn't have the right filename extension, so they couldn't doubleclick on it in outlook. So I help them to save it in the menu and then rename the file (bedazzled looks on their faces). Then I tell them now just import it in excel. Even more blank staring. As I show them how it is done, I notice that their attention span lasts only half the way. Silently, I remind myself to stay away from these people better in the future. Oh, and then there is the time when I played a little with staroffice, to see how well it would handle compatibility

Yea, cat /dev/urandom can do that ;)

Hmm, does reset work (the command, not the hardware button)? Usually

usually will do the job.

I have downloaded gcc-3.0.tar.gz. If I simply type configure, make and make install, would Debian realize that gcc has been upgraded? If by `Debian' you meant dselect, dpkg and freinds then the answer is no. Those actions will not make `Debian' realize that gcc is upgraded. If not, what should I do? For some reasons, I don't want to apt-get it from the Internet. I guess that you have to build the deb for yourself. Without having a deb-src package I would say that this is a difficult task I would say. Also, what should be my toplevel installation directory for gcc-3.0? It defaults to /usr/local/, but as far as I know, almost all debian programs are installed to /usr/ rather than /usr/local/ (- am I correct?). If I am right, than should I install gcc-3.0 in /usr/ instead of /usr/local/? _ You are right about /usr and /usr/local. In fact, this is intentional and defined in policy. Actually, your situation is one of the reasons for this policy. There fore, installing gcc-3.0 from the tar balls in /usr/local seems to me the best solution. That way you might have a working version of it and although `Debian' would not know about it they might live in peace. But do note that I have no experience with these matters so that when you get down to the small details things might get complicated. You might want to look at the mailing lists archive of debian-devel. There was a long discussion there about having gcc-3.0.

I want to be able to use apt-get sources xxx.deb to download and automatically compile the application with SMP support and to optimize it for various pentium or other processors. This does not mean just the kernel I mean all of the software that I use. Very little software with the exception of the kernel cares at all how many CPU's you have, no matter how it is compiled. Linux allows each process to run on only one processor at a time. If you have two CPU's and only one busy process, half of your system is being wasted. If this is a typical load, you should have gotten a faster CPU instead of spending money on SMP. If your typical system usage involves having the computer do more than one thing at once, then SMP can be a benefit, since the running processes are split amoung the available CPU's. A few programs, like make, allow more efficient use of multiprocessor machines by providing options that can cause them to run two or more processes, each which does part of the work. With make for example, use make -j 2 (or -j 4 or whatever). -- see shy jo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'm still battling with this. I have lpd, magicfilter, et al, installed. I'm able to print from various programs without problems, however, when I print plain ascii text, the printer prints just fine, but I need to manually eject the page. I've tried to set my printcap up to send a form feed when done by inserting 'ff', but that hasn't panned out. Anyway, I'm sure if I want that because ps files are ejected normally. I've been poking around in the input filters supplied with magicfilter, and I noticed that the default filter uses recode like so: # Default entry for normal (text) files. This must be the last entry! # = # Please adjust recode's codepage conversion manually according to # your # local needs. We apologize for the inconveniences... # default filter /usr/bin/recode --silent us..ibmpc Actually the 'us' was originally 'latin1'. I've left the file pretty much alone with the exception of editing to replace 'pdftops' with 'pdf2ps' as it's named on my system. So I figure that maybe the solution to my problem lays somewhere in recode, although searching through the recode docs is beginning to change my mind. Is anyone doing anything special to print plain ascii text on a woody system running lpd, magicfilter, etc.?

Re: Time to fight for our beloved DEB format!
Hi, Frankly, I disagree with the subject. LSB allows the distribution to use a different (i.e. dpkg) packaging format than rpm. More importantly, rpm is the packaging format used by every other significant Linux distribution. While I agree that a million flies may be wrong, as far as I have understood, there are no significant functional differences between dpkg and rpm. Package dependencies may be declared explicitly in rpm as well, as well as functional dependencies (Requires: MTA). Debconf is not a package format issue, but a policy issue. While dpkg uses fairly robust text file format, rpm uses Berkeley DB's, which are very established as well, and somewhat faster and more compact than dpkg text files. Etc etc. Both Yes it's true that RPM is actually, faster than DEB, but when you would like to hand-hack a package's status information, and you do not have a copy of 'maximum(or minimum?) rpm' in your hand, you would then love deb. moreover, i know you won't forget ian and debra, right? :p packaging formats have their pros as well as cons. What ensures the high quality of Debian, is its policy. Still, a packaging format should not be seen as a religious issue. Well, the high quality of debian, eh, is true, that it is ensured by the strict policy and the kind and true heart of hackers contribution.. (i think i have done something, though not much, as a lamer..) but still, i don't want to see deb comes down and die. however, I'm not going to start a holy war (tm). What I would like to see, in the light of LSB, would be that 1) A transparent way to install LSB-compliant rpms in Debian is implemented. Preferably one should be able to install rpms with 'dpkg' command line tool, although an automatic format transform with 'alien' could be performed behind the scenes. This is outrangous! I think we should not do this to make it LSB compliant, however, if you would say to make this 'lam3r-proof' it would be okay for me kind of religious issue here, though. 2) Assuming that I am not misinformed about the functional compatibility of dpkg and rpm, a LONG TERM goal for transforming Debian to rpm base is issued. This would include adding rpm support for all Debian package management tools, and transition tools for the database contents, etc. I would really be sad if deb is going to die. and this would really be starting to catch fire, mind your speech, buddy :) I am sorry if I brought up a inflammable issue, but I'd really like to see some (civil, positive) discussion around the subject. Standards (usually) are a good thing, and especially a common packaging format for all Linux distributions would help acceptance and adoption of Linux, and more importantly, Debian. Yes, Debian is always conforming to standard, but i hate somebody who make a standard which is ourageous, like microsoft. (the kind IE4.0 HTML is a very good example illustrating it). However, Microsoft do have good products (like this Outlook express i'm using).

Re: Time to fight for our beloved DEB format!
hi, it seems that the talk goes enlightened, it's good. That said the LSB does not _FORCE_ any Linux dist to abandon their own work. It simply requires the dist to allow rpms to be installed easily. alien does this for most people. Yes, it does not _force_, but it does _imply_ that rpm is the de facto standard (eh, defect-o? :p) of package in linux. pretty sad. RPM is not inherently bad. RH (and others) simply do not have a common standards set that must be followed like Debian does. There are a few places where each format (rpm and deb) surpass the other. However most of the perceived differences are actually in the _use_ of the system and not a lack of features. However, Debian will not just give up on dpkg and no one has told us that we must. the thing that makes deb beloved is its link with the apt-get tools.
