Can i remote login to a debian linux system with gnome on ?
If so, how do i configure it ?
I know in gdm there is a parameter for remote login, does it has 
something to do with that ?


Hello,

maybe "vnc" is what you're searching for.

Re: apache apt-get installation

Hello,

chan henry schrieb:

what can i do to fix the installation?
try to remove apache again with "apt-get remove --purge apache" and 
then reinstall it.



and how can i tell where the source directory is?
Where do you have to tell this? I installed apache2 with php4 on my 
box and I didn't have to tell it the source directory. How did you 
try to install php?



and if i were to install by compile from source, can i ignore the error?

Why install by compile from source? Debian has packages for php.

Regards
Mirco

Re: unable to bring up eth0

Fred J. schrieb:
after changeling the file /etc/network/interfaces, I was able to bring 
up the downed eth* but why the relative dhcp package did not do this 
like it did with the up eth* on boot-up time?

my /etc/network/interfaces now looks like this
  auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.101
netmask 255.255.255.0
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp


Hello,

are both interfaces in the same network? If not, maybe something 
with the DHCP-Server connected to your eth0 is wrong?

Are other DHCP-Clients in the same network running properly?

:00:11.0 Ethernet controller: National Semiconductor Corporation 
DP83815 (MacPhyter) Ethernet Controller


Hello,

for the 3Com Controller you need to have the kernel module 3c59x 
loaded, for the other Controller you need to have the module natsemi 
loaded. Please check via "lsmod" if both modules are loaded.


If both modules are loaded check the /etc/network/interfaces if both 
 interfaces are listed there. Maybe the eth0 is not properly 
configured here. The content of /etc/network/interfaces might help.

Re: space concern

2005-10-25 Thread Mirco Sippel

Mark Grieveson schrieb:
 From this, I determined that, for some reason, the var directory now 
occupied over 18 GBs.  So, I subsequently run the command 
debian:/home/mark# du --max-depth=1 -m /var | sort -g, which indicated 
that most of the space was in /var/archives.  The contents are:

debian:/home/mark# ls /var/archives
debian-20051024.md5  debian-etc.20051024.tar.gz  
debian-home.20051024.tar.gz
debian-20051025.md5  debian-etc.20051025.tar.gz  
debian-home.20051025.tar.gz
I had installed a program "backup-manager", which I tried to run, but 
since I saw nothing, I thought nothing of it.  I now speculate that 
maybe it was creating repeated backups, given the dates of these files.  
So, for those more in the know, can I delete these files in 
/var/archives?  I've since uninstalled backup-manager.  And how should I 
backup my system?


You should check if the files with date 20051024 have the same or 
nearly the same size as the files with date 20051025. If they have 
you can delete the files with the date string 20051024.
The other files I would move to another drive or burn to a CD/DVD-RW 
 if you have no other hard-drives.
You should find out if "backup-manager" is able to make incremential 
backups, so that the whole drives is backed up just one time and in 
following backups only the files wich have changed will be saved.


Having your real files and the backups on the same drive doesn't 
make sense to me, because if your hard drive crashes the backups 
will also be lost.

Small prob: The mouse is working perfectly except for
the scrolling wheel, which stopped working out of the

appears to be set up correctly there. What could be
causing this? Any possible course of action?


Try "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86" you will be asked if the 
scrolling wheel should be supported. Choose yes there. Maybe it will 
work then.

Re: Is NTFS file system (Win2k) stable and usable with debian sarge?

2005-09-04 Thread Mirco Sippel

J. Grant schrieb:

For the other direction there is explore2fs which works about the same 
way.  It gives you a somewhat "ftp-like" interface to download files 
from your ext2/ext3 file system into windows.  It doesn't allow you to 
delete or modify the ext2/ext3 partition.  Then the next time you boot 
Linux you can remove those files if you want.


http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/explore2fs.htm


Looks good, I'll have to give that a try.


There's also a filesystem driver for ext2/ext3 which allows you to 
write and delete files on those partitions under windows.

Take a look at: http://www.fs-driver.org
