Vuze (Azureus) broken after Apt-get upgrade

2009-12-17 Thread Russ Cook

I am running a 64-bit system, unstable, with kernel 2.6.31-1.
Every week or so, I run apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, to keep system 
reasonable

up to date.
I am running no firewalls on my system, which is on a home network behind a

This week, after running apt-get update, Vuze no longer connects.  After 
startup,

I get a popup window with the following error:
"Warning:  Impossible to bind to a local socket.  Loading of torrents

No other programs appear to be affected.  Web browsers and email clients 
still
run as before.  Has anyone else seen this problem, and is there a 
solution?  I am
not yet subscribing to any Vuze mailing lists, and Google has not 
provided a pertinent

solution for me.

Thanks for any help or pointers.

No audio after recent upgrade

2009-07-08 Thread Russ Cook

I am running Sid, 64bit.  My motherboard is an ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe, with
Nvidia chipset.  During a recent upgrade (not dist-upgrade) using Synaptic,
I lost video and mouse control in the X-system.  I rebooted the system 
and found
that the kernel had upgraded from 2.6.29-2-amd64 to 2.6.30-1-amd64.  I 
use the
Nvidia graphics driver, which broke during the upgrade.  Temporarily 
using the NV
driver, I ran Synaptic again (because I couldn't be sure it had 
completed before

the X crash), then updated the Nvidia driver modules, restoring my X system.

I have since found that I have no audio.  After a recent reinstall of Debian
(a different story) my system was running Pulseaudio ( I am not familiar 
with

this, as I always relied on Alsa in the past).

I have attached the output of lsmod, showing which modules are currently
loaded.  I am at a loss as to how to troubleshoot this audio problem, and
would greatly appreciate any suggestions and pointers.

Thanks much.

Dear all,

After a recently upgrade, OOo in sid (amd64, version 1:3.0.1-4+b1,
with Gnome) no longer works anymore. It just stops while showing OOo's
splash screen, with CPU usage 0% and no output at all on command line.

Indeed it is difficult to locate the problem, because I cannot find an
options like "-verbose" or "-debug" to obtain more information: the
man page of ooffice is for OOo version 2, and "ooffice -help" lists
little useful options.

I tried "ooffice -nologo", then tried to rename the folder
"~/.openoffice.org/", then tried to remove package
"openoffice.org-gtk" and "openoffice.org-gnome", but none of those
efforts works.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Best Regards,

I don't know if this is the same problem, but yesterday I just fixed a 
related issue on my system
(AMD64, Sid).  When trying to start OpenOffice from the pull-down menu 
in Gnome, I got the
"please wait" clock symbol, but the program never started.  Running 
"sudo apt-cache showpkg openoffice.org" revealed many missing modules, 
including openoffice.org-writer, which prevented
the word processor from running (it wasn't installed).  The problem was 
solved by running "sudo apt-get install -reinstall openoffice.org" .


Don't know if this problem is the same as yours, but thought I'd offer 
it as something to check.

Good luck.

The problem is that X will not start now with the Nvidia driver.  It

Looking in /usr/lib/xorg/modules, I have a symlink libwfb.so pointing to

You could try Wine, Crossover Games or Cedega.

OK, so some process might be blocking the sound devices; most probably a
sound daemon. (Are you running Gnome or KDE?) Post the output of this:

lsof -w | egrep 'snd|dsp'

  
  

Yes, I am running Gnome.  The of output of running

My user name is 'russ', and I am a member of 'audio' group.



As a quick test, I propose that you do this (as 'russ'):

pkill esd

This should shut down esd (Gnome's sound daemon). Check the output of
the "lsof ..." command again; it should be empty if no process accesses
the sound devices. Then you can test if your other applications can play
sound now. (Your earlier workaround of running alsaconf could also have
killed esd since it force-unloads all sound modules, which tends to kill
all processes that are accessing sound devices.)

Esd will probably run again the next time you start Gnome (logging in
via gdm, I assume). You can either try to deactivate esd in Gnome's
setup (I don't use Gnome so I don't know any details about this) or you
can try to configure your other applications to play sound via esd (how
to do that depends on which applications you use).

  

You were right on all counts.  Killing esd restored sound on

Sound initialization (alsaconf) difficulty

2007-11-16 Thread Russ Cook

After an upgrade some time ago, my system no longer initializes
the sound system.  It was posted before that this could be overcome
by removing the alsa modules manually, then running udevtrigger.
Currently, whenever I reboot, I run alsaconf until it removes the
modules, then escape and run udevtrigger.  This works, but is
there a way to restore automatic initialization on boot?  I'm
running Debian Sid, kernel 2.6.23.  Thanks for any help.

better place to seek help, as well:

video capture with KWorld DVD Maker USB 2.0

2007-11-12 Thread Russ Cook

I bought this product (KWorld DVD Maker USB 2.0) at Fry's electronics to
convert VHS tapes of my kids to DVDs.  It works on my wife's windows 
machine, but the audio is distorted because she has no line-in port.

My Linux machine has line-in, but it doesn't recognize the product.
I have an ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe motherboard, with dual core AMD-64 
processor, and e-GeForce 7950 GT graphics card.  My current kernel is

2.6.23, compiled for 64 bit.
Is anyone successfully using the KWorld USB product under Linux?  If
so, can you offer me some help or tips for getting mine to work?

Thanks  much,
 Russ

I would try to shut down X and run alsaconf from a virtual terminal. If
this still locks up your machine you can log in with ssh and check which
process is blocking the CPU with the "top" command. It would then also
be interesting if killing that process unlocks the computer or not.
Another thing to try is "/etc/init.d/alsa force-reload".

If alsaconf works when run from the terminal you can use a simple
application such as "speaker-test" to check your sound. If this is
successful you can try if it still works when you start X again. This
should help you to isolate the cause of the problem.

 
  
Another problem - I used to be able to access a virtual terminal by 
pressing ctl-alt-f2.  This key sequence no longer works.  I'm running

gnome.  How can I temporarily disable X so I can run alsaconf from
a virtual terminal?



Open a Gnome terminal or an xterm, become root and run

chvt 2

to go to virtual terminal 2, for example. Log in as your normal user, su
to root level and run

/etc/init.d/gdm stop

This will shut down Gnome and X. The command to start it again is

/etc/init.d/gdm start

As far as the ctrl-alt-fx problem is concerned, have a look at this
thread:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2006/04/msg02492.html

If that does not help you, start a new thread and post the keyboard
section of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

  

After killing gdm, I can run alsaconf and it executes fine.  After
restarting gdm, xmms again cannot run.  I ran alsaconf from an
xterm, and the X system locked up again.  Now I have to find out
which process is hung up, if possible.

That eliminated the error, Thanks!

But I'm still a bit puzzled because debian-archive-keyring is _not_

debian.org machines.


One difference between the two machines is that the one which reported 
the error is an older installation.  It was first installed with 
potato/stable ~5 years ago and has been repeatedly dist-upgraded.  The 
machine without the error was first installed in Feb. with

Kino problem - doesn't read files

2005-12-18 Thread Russ Cook
I am running an AMD64 dual-core machine, on an Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe 
motherboard.I'm running Debian-64, Sarge (I think).  My sources.list

file is attached.

I'm trying to use Kino to edit some video files for burning to DVD.
When I try to load an AVI file, I get the error "Failed to load media".
When I try to load an MPG file, I get the error "Invalid file specified".
The version of Kino is 0.7.5.  Since I'm running 64-bit Linux, I don't know
if the problem is my own ignorance, or a compatibility issue, or both.

Can anyone offer some pointers?

Re: linux source vs kernel-source

2004-11-17 Thread Russ Cook
thanks Joerg,
 When I do apt-get update using unstable, I see kernel-source-2.6.8-8 
as most
recent version.  I didn't know 2.6.9.deb was available, and didn't know 
where
to find it.

thanks again,

Yes. Go to http://packages.debian.org/unstable/devel/kernel-source-2.6.9
and read the "More information" section. There you can see that
kernel-source-2.6.9 consists of [kernel-source-2.6.9_2.6.9.orig.tar.gz]
which is identical to linux-2.6.9.tar.gz from kernel.org, and
[kernel-source-2.6.9_2.6.9-1.diff.gz] which are the debian-specific
modifications to the source package.
 

Will the linux-* source files compile and build properly using the
kernel-package tools?
   

They should compile just fine.
 

If so, I'd like to use the higher rev linux-* source files, rather than 
wait for them to show up on the unstable sites as kernel-source-*.deb
files.
   

No need to. There are only experimental sources on kernel.org and 2.6.9
is the latest stable version (which is also available as
kernel-source.deb). See the link above to download it from your
preferred debian mirror.

you may need to set a boot delay in /etc/lilo.conf. If you do that, you
will be able to select a kernel to boot.
Take a look at http://www.linuxheadquarters.com/howto/basic/lilo.shtml

No, the problem APPEARS to be that /boot/boot.b is a symlink pointing 
to /boot/boot-menu.b .  And, boot-menu.b does not exist.  I have no 
*.b files except boot.b .
I tried reinstalling lilo and running lilo again, but nothing 
changed.  This confuses me, because I thought the *.b file was the 
secondary boot loader, phase 2 of the boot process, and the system 
wouldn't boot without it.  So, off to do some more digging.


Well David,
 I guess you were right after all.  Holding the left shift key during 
boot gives me my boot menu, as it always has.  I guess I just got 
confused about the symlink /boot/boot.b which
points to a non-existent /boot/boot-menu.b  .
 Anyway, my system now is up and running with kernel 2.6.8. 
Now on to get sound working under Alsa.

Thanks.

I was actually hoping to get a few answers to the questions I asked :)
Lets start with a play-by-play of your kernel compilation process. What
commands did you type from the point where you thought "i'm going to
compile a kernel" to the point where you saw the above errors?
Then, once you saw the errors, did you attempt to determine what they
meant? If so, what did you do?
The config file is better than nothing, but is not too useful, since I
dont know what *changed* between the original config file and your
current one.
If you want to get the output from a compile or any other command that
produces output, try the following:
mycommand 2>&1 > /path/to/your/favorite/file
this will redirect everything that usually gets sent to your console to
the file that you specified.

Need help XFree86

2004-09-25 Thread Russ Cook
I have a problem trying to get XFree86 4.X to work on my Compaq Presario 
5170.
XFree86 3.X works fine.  When this machine was running windows, the 
video adapter
was identified as 3D Rage LT Pro.  Under Linux, I use the ATI Mach64 
driver under
XFree86 3.X, so I tried the ATI driver under XFree86 4.X.  I get a black 
screen, it
never faults back to text terminal from GDM.  I have attached gzipped 
copies of
my config files, and the error log.

I'm hoping that someone else reading this has already solved this 
problem for this
machine, as there are many of them out there.

Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions.

New ADSL user - need net and firewall help

2004-06-05 Thread Russ Cook
Please help.  For many years I have been using Debian Linux on machines 
at home, including a machine dedicated for dial-up access and 
masquerading for my home lan.  My lan also consists of two windows 
machines for family members.

DSL just became available in my area, and we subscribed.  Now I need 
help getting my lan reconfigured to use the DSL modem and still protect 
my lan from the outside world.

The modem is set up as a NAT device, and is configured for DHCP on my 
side of the interface.  I've never used DHCP under Linux, and don't have 
a server set up.  I access the modem via Ethernet, which means my 
firewall machine now needs a second card so my Lan can remain connected.
I can access the internet with my Linux machine by setting my IP address 
manually to the default IP in the modem, which is 192.168.1.2.  The 
modem retains 192.168.1.1 for itself, and translates to a different set 
of addresses on the 'internet' side.  To complicate things, the address 
the modem expects me to access it with conflicts with my home lan, which 
uses 192.168.1.0 addresses.  So, it appears I may have to reconfigure my 
home lan for a different block of addresses for the second ethernet card 
to access, and bridge between the two ethernet cards in my linux 
gateway.  I have little actual experience with routing and firewalls, I 
tend to learn what I need for the task at hand, and then leave things 
alone unless they break.  Consequently, I forget most of what I learn by 
the time I need it again.  I have heard of PPPOE, and my provider has 
mentioned it to me, but they say the modem is set up for DHCP.  My 
complication comes because I want to retain my own ip masquerading and 
firewall capability.

Can anyone help me or point me to some step-by step reference material?
Thanks much,
   Russ

Re: Broken mail - Upgrade Exim3 to Exim4

I have a very basic setup - a smarthost that I dial up to,

I used dpkg-reconfigure to go back and correct my mistake.  Now

Re: Broken Zope, Python, xbase-clients, etc

2003-09-09 Thread Russ Cook
Thanks for the continued help.  Attached are the results of
'whereis python' and 'ls -l /usr/bin/python'.  The symlink
points to python2.3.  And yet, the zope pre-removal script
encounters errors in python1.5, which makes me think it is
explicitly seeking and calling routines from the earlier version.
More thoughts?

Thanks much,

Hi Russell,
  I ran apt-get update, then apt-get install python.  I did
not specify a version.  The system stated I am already at
the latest version.  I then ran apt-get install --reinstall --fix-broken
zope.  The log looks the same.  If you still have a log of the
session I sent previously, please notice that the python routines
which are run seem to be from /usr/lib/python1.5, even though python2.3
is installed.  Does Zope explicitly look for version 1.5?  I'm really
at a loss as to what is going on here.

Re: Broken Zope, Python, xbase-clients, etc

2003-09-08 Thread Russ Cook
Hi Russell,
  From your email, should I assume that Zope requires a version of Python
between 2.1-3 and 2.2?  A listing of /usr/lib shows python1.5, python2.0,
python2.1, python2.2, and python2.3.  Must I downgrade and force the
system to install python2.1 for the Zope scripts to work?

2003-09-06 Thread Russ Cook
Russell,
  The sources.list file was OK, but it referenced a local
mirror for apt-move, which wasn't valid yet.  I corrected
that, and ran 'apt-get update' again, and then ran
apt-get install -t testing zope, as you recommend.  Attached
is that script file.  The errors are essentially the same.
Can you or anyone else offer more suggestions?  I would be
very grateful.

Thanks much,

Broken Zope, Python, xbase-clients, etc

2003-09-06 Thread Russ Cook
Please help.  I tried to upgrade my system, after a long period
of stable operation.  During the upgrade attempt, use apt-get
dselect-upgrade, Zope failed to upgrade, due to pre remove script
failure.  Zope is currently installed at 2.3.3-1 level, trying to
upgrade to 2.6.1-10.  It is trying to run python-base, which apparently
is no longer available, and not on my system.  I did reinstall
python1.5_1.5.2-27_i386.deb and python1.5-dev_1.5.2-27_i386.deb, from
ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/p/python1.5.  Additional problems are
that startx no longer exists on my system, and I can't run X.  I don't
know if this is directly related, but dselect and apt-get fail during
all attempts to upgrade due to zope and python script errors.

I am not a sophisticated user, and apparently have done myself damage.
Can anyone offer some steps for me to try to restore my system?  I will
be happy to provide a copy of 'dpkg -l' or any logs to anyone willing
to help.

Thanks so much,
   Russ

Please help.  I have made an executable script to be run when my ppp link

gave it the same owner and flags as the other scripts in that directory.
However, the script doesn't execute.  Executing run-parts --test does not

Re: Debian and IPV6

2002-12-29 Thread Russ Cook
As you suspected, when started with the -- -6 option, sshd does
not listen for ipv4 traffic on port 22.  When I try to connect
with ssh -4, the sshd negotiates a -6 connection anyway.  I
suppose this makes since, since declaring -- -6 says to operate
ONLY in IPV6.  What I need is for the daemon to listen for both
protocols.  Does anyone know if it is possible?  Does it require
a recompile or special configure flag when installing?

Thanks for any help.

Re: Debian and IPV6

2002-12-29 Thread Russ Cook
Mark,
  Thanks for the reply.  I tried your suggestion of adding the -- -6
option to the start-stop-daemon lines in /etc/init.d/ssh.  I then
tried to connect to the host with ssh and ssh -6.  Both attempts succeded,
as shown in the subsequent netstat -A inet6 -an

It represents my IPv4 connection with a IPv6 style address, however.
Does this imply that both connections are actually ip6 connections?

Would you mind sending me the sample lines from your sshd_config file
where you configured two listening lines with explicit addresses?

Thanks,

Re: Debian and IPV6

netstat -A inet6 -an results in the following
Proto   Recv-Q  Send-Q  Local Address   Foreign Address State
tcp 0   0   :::80   :::*LISTEN

typing ssh -vvv mypeerhost results in

debug1: ssh_connect: needpriv 0
ssh: mypeerhost: Name or service not known

This is different from output in ipv4 mode.  I believe this implies that
ipv6 is not supported (doesn't understand the host id in ipv6 format as
listed in my /etc/hosts file.  I thought this ssh package was enabled
for ipv6, but perhaps I have to configure or compile.  Unfortunately,
the .deb did not load any Doc files for me to read.

BTW, the ssh_config file has every entry commented out with leading #.

Thanks for the reply.  I checked as suggested, and sshd is configured
to listen on port 22.  It is not started with -4 option, and no
ListenAddresses are specified (they are commented out).  Again, sshd
works with normal (-4) option, but not with -6.  I have not tinkered

Debian and IPV6

2002-12-28 Thread Russ Cook
I have enabled IP6 on my home network, configured my network,
and obtained tunneling and ip addressed through Freenet6.
I can ping6 all machines on my network, but ssh -6 does not
work.  I get errors that the connection was refused.  SSH works
fine with Ipv4 protocol.  I can telnet6 to IPV6 web servers on
the web, and Mozilla works fine.  Can anyone tell me what I
need to check on my network machines?  I suspect perhaps a
problem in /etc/services or /etc/protocols, but don't see
anything wrong.

Thanks for any suggestions.

ext3 filesystem error

2002-12-24 Thread Russ Cook
My hard drive is set up with /dev/hda1   /boot
and /dev/hda2   /
/dev/hda3 is my swap space.

When I edit /etc/fstab to set /dev/hda2 and /dev/hda1 to ext3 instead
of ext2, I get the error:
kernel: ext3: No journal on filesystem on ide0(3,1)
My file /etc/mtab shows /dev/hda2 mounted as ext3, but /dev/hda1
does not mount.  I have no /boot directory.
If I change the /etc/fstab file to mount /dev/hda2 as ext3 and
/dev/hda1 as ext2, then both are mounted without errors.  Can anyone
point out my problem?

Thanks,
Russ

Re: No ip-masquerade after upgrade 2.2.19 to 2.4.20

2002-12-24 Thread Russ Cook
Please disregard my previous email.  On my fifth kernel compile, I now
have ipmasquerading.  I enabled and included everything under the sun
with regard to ppp, iptables, ipchains, and ipmasquerading.  Undoubtedly,
I have a bloated kernel with features I don't need, but it works now.

I now need to educate myself on the differences between 2.4 and 2.2 with
respect to iptables/ipchains.  Is there a concise synopsis anywhere in
the Linux Documentation Project that I can reference?

Thanks to all who have replied.
Happy Holidays!

Thanks for the tip.  I tried setting the IRQ to 10, as suggested with

I have a Compaq presario with audio chip on the motherboard.

No ip-masquerade after upgrade 2.2.19 to 2.4.20

2002-12-22 Thread Russ Cook
I have a home network of 5 machines running Linux (for me) and
Windows (for wife and son).  I have a masquerading gateway machine
for internet access.  I update this machine rarely, as problems
encountered affect the whole family.

I recently took the plunge and upgraded the kernel on that machine
from 2.2.19 to 2.4.20.  Now, it no longer provides internet access
for the lan.  From the gateway's console, I can access the internet,
so ppp is working.  The machine is accessible from the other computers,
so the eth0 funtions are working.  Can anyone help me troubleshoot this
problem?

In a rare moment of foresight, I kept the previous kernel and labeled
it 'safe' in lilo.conf, so I can still use that kernel, and currently
am.

Thanks much,
   Russ

Re: ES1869 sound chip driver

2002-11-30 Thread Russ Cook
Thanks!  Xmms has the same problem - repeating portions of the audio
multiple times before moving to the next portion.  I checked the system
log with dmesg as suggested and get the following indicators:

SB 3.01 detected OK (220)
ESS chip ES1869 specified
sb: Interrupt test on IRQ7 failed - Probable IRQ conflict
 at ox220 irq 7 dma 1,5
Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error?

Last line repeated numerous times.

Looking at /proc/interrupts shows:

Re: ES1869 sound chip driver

2002-11-29 Thread Russ Cook
I have recompiled my kernel, including SB support as a module.  Using
modprobe SB esstype=1869 now gives me sound.  However, when I play
a wave file, I get choppy, repetitive cuts.  I'm using the program
wavp.  It seems to play each portion approximately 4 times before
moving on to the next segment.  The utility 'saytime' works, but
runs with long pauses before each word.  Much slower than with my
other machine, using a Gravis Ultrasound card.

Can you offer any tips for tuning up what I have?  Thanks much,
Russ

Re: Problems with 2.4. series kernels and Adaptec scsi card

2002-06-26 Thread Russ Cook
OK.  I compiled a kernel with the --initrd option.  I added
'initrd=/initrd.img' to lilo.conf.
I added 'do_initrd := Yes' to /etc/kernel-pkg.conf
I cannot run lilo, because it complains that
/initrd.img doesn't exist.
I can't install the kernel, because it complains that it
failed to create initrd image.
Can you tell me what I may have failed to do?

Thanks,
Russ

Problems with 2.4. series kernels and Adaptec scsi card

2002-06-22 Thread Russ Cook
I am still running the 2.2 series kernels on my machine, because I've
been unsuccessful compiling and running a 2.4 series kernel.
I have an Adaptec AHA-2940 scsi card.  When the kernel tries to boot,
I get SCB-related errors.  I'm not certain what they are, I think they
are control block errors.  I can't send an error log, because the system
crashes with a kernel panic.  I have no such errors with the 2.2 series
kernels.  Can anyone offer assistance or hints?

Thanks much,
Russ

Re: Proble - XFree86 4.2 and ATI 3D Rage LT Pro

2002-05-25 Thread Russ Cook
Another respondent suggested I run XFree86 -configure to get a starting
config file.  I did, and it worked - although low res and distorted.  I
then restored my original guess at synch rates, and got my original
symptons, which confirms your suggestion that my problem is related
to sync rates.  I have a Compaq Presario MV500 monitor, and have no
timing data.  The Compaq web page offers no data, either.  Can anyone
help?

I did at your suggestion.  And it worked - thanks.
I now have a display, although low res and distorted.
Another person suggested it was probably sync rates -
so, my monitor is a Compaq Presario MV500.
I've been to their web page and can find no specifics
on horizontal and verticle refresh rates.  Can anyone

Proble - XFree86 4.2 and ATI 3D Rage LT Pro

2002-05-24 Thread Russ Cook
I have a Compaq Presario that I'm promoting from my kid's
windows machine to my Linux machine (he got a new, faster machine).
I tried installing the Debian X packages for version 4.1, but
could not get it to run.  I'm using a 3D Rage LT Pro.

The sympton is that when I run startx, the screen goes black.
It doesn't fault out and return to text mode - it just remains
black.  I've identified the window manager to use, and have tried
changing the window manager.  I've attached the XFree86 log file.

I have XWindows successfully running on another machine, with
a different video card.

Can anyone help?

Thanks much,
Russ
The -bpp option is no longer supported.
Use -depth to set the color depth, and use -fbbpp if you really
need to force a non-default framebuffer (hardware) pixel format.

Problem solved - but not understood.
I disconnected my external scsi hard drive,
and now I can burn CDs.  The drive works fine
when connected, so does the CD drive, just can't
burn CDs.  IDs are unique, and devices are detected
properly at boot up.

Oh well.

cdrecord problems

2002-01-06 Thread Russ Cook
I have had no difficulty burning CDs until after my recent 'apt-get
upgrade.'   The CDRECORD package warned me that I was not running a
2.4 kernel, so I should compile the source.  I did this using
'apt-get source' and installed the packages.

Now I get errors when trying to burn CDs.  I have attached a log
file.  Can anyone help?

Re: No partition table

2001-12-23 Thread Russ Cook
I have also read the referenced mini-HowTos.
Additional info - the Maxtor drive came with a utility
called EZ-Drive, which is still active during boot.  I have
a syslog entry which reads:
Partition check:
hda: [EZD] [remap 0->1]

Do I need to overwrite the first sector to restore
the MBR?  I can still boot from floppy, but I'm at
a loss as to how to restore my hard drive so I can
boot directly from it.

Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the reply.  I ran gpart on the drive, and the result
matches what Lilo wrote to /boot/boot.0300 , so I didn't rewrite
the partition table.  The first partition is marked bootable.
Can you offer any other suggestions?

No partition table

2001-12-22 Thread Russ Cook
I have a 30 GB Maxtor hard drive, with a 15 MB boot partition as
the first partition.  This is followed by root and swap.

Apparently, I have somehow corrupted my partition table, because
on boot I get the message NO PT, HIT ANY KEY TO CONTINUE

When I do so, Lilo responds with LIL- and hangs.  I can still boot
from floppy, but only the older 2.2.X kernels.

I have read the Large Disk How-To, but can't figure out what's
wrong.  Can anyone help?

Thanks much,

WordPerfect 8 problem (won't run)

2001-10-06 Thread Russ Cook
I have WordPerfect 8 on CD, and recently reinstalled it (I had a
system crash, and had to reload everything.)  It used to run fine,
before I reloaded Debian (unstable) and all my software.  Now,
when I try to start WordPerfect, I get the following error:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ./wp
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /usr/share/Wp/wpbin/xwp: can't load library 'libXt.so.6'

This library exists in /usr/X11R6/lib

-rwxr-xr-x1 root root   344669 Jun  6 13:40 libXt.so.6.0

The install documentation states that WordPerfect 8 requires X11R5.
I'm running X11R6, and I have libc5 installed.

Can anyone tell me from the info above what I need to get things working
again?  I'll be happy to send more info, if needed.

Thanks much,

Thanks for the reply.  I should have mentioned that I already
have agpgart.o loaded successfully.  I don't believe that is
the problem.

Thanks again,

Need help with XFree86

2001-01-05 Thread Russ Cook
Howdy!  My wife bought me a new computer for Christmas, an E-machine
with the i810 chipset.  I was able to get X11 working under TurboLinux
(the CD came with the LAN card I bought), but I'm having difficulty
with Debian.  Attached are the XF86Config file and the XFree86 log file.
Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks much,
Russ

Re: help news

2000-11-23 Thread Russ Cook
Ok.  Running rnews leaves me with a large batch file in
/var/spool/news/in.coming, but nothing in the various
/var/spool/news/ directories.  How do I get
the batch file processed by localhost and posted to the
appropriate subdirectories?

Thanks a lot for the help so far.

Russ

Thanks for the reply.  I have set up the get-news.conf file with

help news

2000-11-23 Thread Russ Cook
I am trying to use Suck and Cnews to download articles from my ISP and
deliver to a local news server for offline reading with Netscape
Communicator.  I (think) I have Suck and Cnews properly configured - at
least, I can manually initiate a news dump with the command
"suck news.flash.net -U myusername -P mypasswd -dm
/var/spool/news/in.coming"

I can see that message get loaded to in.coming.  But, nothing happens from
there.  When using Netscape, it connects to my localhost, but the
newsgroups always show as empty.  The files don't get moved from in.coming
to the appropriate directories under /var/spool/news.

Are there additional programs or scripts that I need besides Suck and
Cnews to complete the process?  If so, could someone please point me to
them, or provide me some sample scripts?  I would like to have certain
newsgroups automatically downloaded periodically and available offline
to my browser.  I don't seem to have any cron scripts installed to do
this.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,
Russ



exim trouble

2000-11-17 Thread Russ Cook
I am no longer able to receive mail from my ISP.  This is a sudden
occurence, and due to no intentional action on my part.  I'm attaching
the mainlog file in the hope that someone can give me some advice 
regarding what to check.  Exim is running as a daemon.

mainlog>
2000-11-17 18:28:12 unexpected disconnection while reading SMTP data from 
localhost [127.0.0.1]

I'll check the mailing list archives to see if this message finds its way
to the list.  (My browser works)

Thanks for any help.

Russ



Re: need help - inn2

2000-11-12 Thread Russ Cook
Thanks for the reply.  The news daemon is running as rc.news, as
called by /etc/init.d/inn2.  Also running is innwatch.  My active
file exists.  The problem appears (to me) to be an inability to
connect to my ISP news server.  I use shadow passwords on my system.
Is this a problem?  Is there a way to log the correspondence between
my system and my ISP while inn2 tries to connect?

Any help appreciated.

Russ
