Re: I deleted /usr/src/linux

IIRC, this is usually where the source code to the linux kernel is 
located (headers, etc).  IMO, it's usually best to leave this directory 
and those in it intact.

I am running on a lenny installation.

I would recommend setting up another Debian box running Nagios to 
monitor the services on the mail server as well as other machines on 
your networks.  Nagios is a tried and true piece of software and I have 
done quite a number of installations and configurations (including 
writing some custom plugins) of it to make it monitor what I want it 
to.  http://www.nagios.org

Hi all,
I'm planning to install Linux on a mid-amount of computers (for now 30-40) and I'm searching for the right distribution.

I had no problems at all with fedora, since their packages .srpm contains a directory where I can just change things i a package and rebuild it. I don't know why (may I'm too stupid :( but it was too complex for me) I could't manage it on ubuntu. Also while testing I found 
I can set a dependency on a file

one file to control the process of building
delta RPM's for less bandwith 
pgp packages
So is it worth it trying again, since the most wide-spread linux "ubuntu" uses deb, to try again until I get it ? Did I miss something .rpm can not ? 


Thanks in advance

Viden, I _believe_ that you can still use RPM with Debian as well, as 
long as you use alien to convert the packages between RPM and DEB.  
Also, if you want to build your own packages on a Debian based machine, 
then you can use the checkinstall utility to built both RPMs and DEBs 
without any issues.  It's what I use all the time and have no problems 
with it.  Not only does it build the binaries and make the package 
files, but it also installs the package for you as well.

In daemon.log there is no intersting information. I've als tried

Can somebody give me a hint?

Re: Mail/collaboration server

I use Citadel as my collaboration software and it has been really nice. 
Info on it can be found at http://www.citadel.org.  I'd even say it gives 
Exchange a run for it's money and, indeed, is what I usually end up 
converting a lot of my clients running Exchange over to and they have been

Subject: Mail/collaboration server


I've been using Kolab for my mail/collaboration software for home about
4 years. Right now, the hard drive on the machine I'm running on is
failing. I have other hardware on which to run the new mail server,
however, I am trying to decide the best suite to use. I can stick with
Kolab, as there is a new release, however the installation is kind of
clunky on Debian (basically installing RPMs). The main features I am
looking for, in order of priority:

* Good-to-excellent antispam (bayesian filter, spamassassin, but 
extensible)


* Shared calendaring with Palm integration

* Preferably opensource and cost free

* (preferably) Postfix-based

Now kolab has been falling down on the anti-spam job, but part of this
may be because of the failing drive.

I see myself having the following options.

1. Stick with Kolab on the new server.
2. Scalix
3. Zimbra
4. Hula


From what I have read in my initial perusal, Zimbra and Scalix, while

commercial, both have free/community versions. I'm looking at less than
a dozen accounts, and most will be accessed by Linux (kde, gnome or
enlightement). Zimbra seems fairly mature. Hula would also be a
consideration, however, their documentation on antispam is almost
non-existent, and the sections that do have information generally have
"Coming soon..."

Does anyone have experience deploying any of these servers? How painful
is migration of existing mail stores to the other systems? Am I missing
any possibilities?

Thanks,

GAIM 1.5.0

[Robert Wolfe]

I downloaded and built GAIM 1.5.0 for the Sparc port of Linux and now when I run apt-get dist-upgrade it tells me that it wants to update GAIM when the version already available is older than what I have installed on my computer.  Is there any way I can continue upgrading everything else EXCEPT for GAIM?

 
I also have the same problem with the 2.2.3 version of Sylpheed which I downloaded a built binaries of for use on my Ultra 5.
 
I have the .deb files for the Sparc/Debian port for GAIM 1.5.0 if it would be ok for me to contribute them.

Darren, you cannot do file transfers via SSH.  You will need to use FTP

Matt, other than the disconnect/reconnect issue, the only other problem I
see is what if the VNC server dies?  I have that problem on rare occasion so
I usually SSH back into my Debian/Sparc box and then restart the vncserver
and that fixes my problem.  Do you have a similar setup?

Hey, not ALL of us AOLers are doofuses :)  I use AOL because I tend to like
SOME of the content there.  Notice I said SOME, not ALL :)  Some of us have
REAL ISPs but just use AOL on the side.

That was what I was figuring, but wasn't sure.
 
Then again, you should realize, that some of us Debian users DO use Windows machines as well.  I have a Sun Ultra 5 running a customized version of Debian/Etch and a server running Windows 2000 Pro and one running Windows NT 
4.0 Enterprise Server.  All running happily with one another.

Re: Debian CD Reseller

"The easiest way, however, is to distribute both binary and source CDs
at the same time and at the same price. Since CDs are quite cheap
these days, this will only slightly increase the price. "  This would
be the way I want to go.  If I do get some Netinst purchased I want to
include the source packages along with the netinst CD.

I also verify the checksums even after I download and before I burn
the images for my own use just to be safe.

Kernel 2.6.8 & Keyboard Mapping on an Ultra 5

[Robert Wolfe]

Hi folks.  Successfully installed the 2.6.8 kernel on my Sun Ultra 5.  
However, when I go to boot with the new kernel the keyboard mapping is ALL 
WRONG on my Sun Type 5 keyboard -- the letter keys either type numbers or do 
not type at all and the number keys when Num Lock is is type letters.  
However, if I boot into the default 2.4.x kernel that ships with Debian, I 
have no problems.  Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get this 
problem corrected?

Re: DHCP problem where ip address is assigned to wrong NIC on reboot

I got a real whacky one.  This old machine I've got has two NICs, and during

I get no network.  I've solved this by switching the cable over and rebooting,
but it sounds like a bug, so I thought I'd mention it.  The machine I'm running
is an old thing with 92 meg of memory, but presumably it's not the memory that
is confusing DHCP, but just the two NICS.  Perhaps nobody has two NICs anymore?


You know, this is odd because I have a Sun Ultra V and had the same 
problem with my 3.1 installation.  One NIC could get DHCP during the 
initial install then upon reboot, Debian only saw the Linksys NIC and on 
the onboard SUN nic.

Try setting up Postfix to send email via relay to your ISP's SMTP server.

Heh thing is is I am a Windoze as well as a Debian user (I run the x86 
version of Debian under Virtual PC 2004 under WinXP and the Sparc version 
of Debian on a Sun Microsystems Ultra 5).  I enjoy trying my best to help 
others out no matter what the situation or OS they use :)

Log in as root or do an 'su' and at the prompt type 'ps -x' -- that will 
list all running processes for you.

Re: apt or aptitude on sarge

I've upgraded 5 or 6 machines to Sarge since Monday, using aptitude.

Whilst for the most part it worked fine, it "held back" a great many
packages, though I wasn't able to figure out the reason. So I ran an
`apt-get upgrade` afterwards, which also pulled those packages up to
Sarge versions.


Hopefully everything is working and up to par for you now.

I note that it seems that aptitude is recommended over apt for Sarge. I
was wondering if it's as str forward as just using aptitude from now on?
eg I do not have to rebuild anything the first time i use aptitude (ie
it uses the same dpkg info as apt - but in that case why is aptitude
recommended over and above apt?)


Correct me if I am wrong on this one, but isn't aptitude just a front end 
for apt?

Sorry about my last posting.  Stupid Citadel keeps popping up message I 
don't want to see in the middle of my screen :)


Have you tried downloading the SquirrelMail program file the home page 
(not able to recall the URL off the top of my alleged brain at this 
point)? You might want to try doing that or installing the downloaded 
version into a separate directory on your webserver's hard drive.  I do 
this when testing release versions and testing version of IlohaMail.

Re: kaspid CPU use

Hello

I'm using the new kernel 2.6.11.11 in my Laptop.
I also use ACPI with the kernel. In my system run a process named 'kaspid'
that use to much CPU%, each many second this process take 45 CPU% approx.
I find some path for this problem but they are for previous kernel versions.
Do you know something about this problem or maybe some work-around like
down the priority of this process or something ???

Thanks

Have you tried running a locate query on this particular program?
