I used plptools-0.10 (forgot where I downloaded it from at the moment), built and installed it according to the directions. I then put my Revo's docking cradle on /dev/ttyS0, and created the /mnt/psion directory. Then, the first time I ran '/usr/local/bin/plpnfsd', followed by '/usr/local/sbin/ncpd -d &' each time I stick the Revo into the cradle. Apparently ncpd is supposed to be able to handle the Revo being removed and inserted, but it always segfaults on me when I try. So I just run ncpd each time I stick the Revo in the cradle, and after a few seconds I can access its files via /mnt/psion without a problem. I use rsync to backup the Revo to a directory on my computer's HD, which on an average day only takes a few minutes. Something like 'rsync -av --delete /mnt/psion/C:/ /home/.../revo/' works great. My computer is running stock potato with a 2.2.19 kernel, so it is pretty plain and boring. Here is what 'mount' has to say after running npcd: $ mount ... localhost:/psion on /mnt/psion type nfs (hard,intr) > Do I need to transfer a file to the Revo first?

I never had to upload anything to the Revo to make the above work. I only configured the Revo to communicate via the 'Cable' link at 115200, and enabled the link.

I have never tried p3nfsd, must be a different version/fork of the tools that I am using. My recommendation would be try plptools-0.10 and see if they work for you. --- | "For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain."| | --- Philippians 1:21 (KJV) | --- | Ryan Kirkpatrick | Boulder, Colorado | http://www.rkirkpat.net/ | --- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I was testing about ten of these cards (Trident 966x), and one of them had a similar "fragmented" display. Almost as if the upper left hand quarter of the screen was duplicated in the other four quarters. Very strange. I was using XF86 3.3.6 (potato version), and used the same configuration file in testing all the cards, only one gave this strange behavior, and all the cards were identical. > Any ideas about this card?

Does this card work correctly under say, M$ Windows? If not, or not tested with it, I would suspect that the card is bad. That is what I concluded in my case. Also, unless XF4 greatly improved the the trident driver from 3.3.6, I would just as soon consider the card bad and replace it. Under 3.3.6 those cards were slow as mud, while a S3Trio64 (same vintage) was many times faster. Hope this is of help.

First, let me thank everyone for their help, and the XF86Config files you sent me. Unfortunately none of them work, but I figured out why. After looking closer at the video card itself, I realized that a few resistors have been sheared off! What I get for buying used computer equipment w/o careful inspection. :( Though I had two of these cards and the second one appears intact/undamaged, so I installed that one. Much better, no more obtrusive vertical lines. Though, I still have vertical lines and their behavior now is much more interesting. They are even spaced across the screen, one pixel wide, but only appear where there is text on the screen (i.e. in a shell window, netscape, any where text is displayed), while graphics (i.e. wallpaper or picture in netscape) are completely clean and fine. Even stranger, the lines only extend on a line of text as far the text does. It is almost like they are showing the tab settings or something! I have tried all the XF86Config file sent to me again to no avail, and messed with the HTotal value as well with out success. I doubt it is a hardware problem this time as the lines are very software dependent (i.e. hardware does not differentiate between graphics and text, it is just pixels to it). So, does anyone have any more ideas? Thanks. PS.

Matrox Millenium IIs and XFree86 3.6

i810 AGP Video Card LockUps w/XFree86!
I am attempting to get potato to run on a machine with an onboard i810 (Intel) video card. I installed potato onto a blank system, installed the SVGA X server, and installed the necessary agpgart.o module. Before testing the X server, I compiled a new 2.2.19 kernel and then compiled the agpgart.o module against that. I got the source for that module from the X Strike Force web page (Debian XFree86 info page). I configured the XF86Config file as instructed and fired up Xwindows. At first everything appeared to work fine. I was able to run at 1152x864 at 24 bit color w/o a problem and the picture looked just fine. I was able to run a gnome desktop and applications without any problems. That is until about 5-10 minutes passed, when the entire system locked up (not just the console, it fell of the network as well). I tried a few more times, but whether I was in X or not, 5-10 minutes after starting X for the first time, the system would lock up. If I was at the console when it happened, there were no kernel messages. I then did some research and found that Intel had their own version of the SVGA X server for this card. I downloaded it, and installed it in place of Debian's SVGA X server. Once again started up X, once again it appeared to work fine, and once again it would crash within 5-10 minutes. At this point, my only options appears to be to try a 2.4 kernel and XFree86 4.0, but I am not too hopeful. Is there any one else out there who have gotten the i810 AGP video card to work with potato, and if so, how did you do it?

DVIPS is Generating Bad Postscript!
Ok, I have a wierd problem here and I am about at wits in trying to solve it. At some point along the line in the last few months dvips stopped generating correcting postscript files from dvi files. Specificly, bullets are getting lost, and worse, any type of equations or mathematical symbols are getting replaced with some courier looking font and totally messed up (i.e. where there was an integration symbol, there is not a capital 'R'!). I am running stock Debian 2.1 on three different machines, two intels and one alpha, and they all are giving the same problems. After some comparision with a RH5.2 machine, I was able to track the problem down to the dvi->ps conversion. DVI files generated on Debian 2.1 convert to ps just fine on RH5.2, while DVI files generated on RH5.2 have the same problem when converted to ps on Debian 2.1. I have tried downgrading tetex-* packages to the one that came with Debian 2.0 (via dpkg -r, dpkg --purge, and then dpkg -i), which have the same version number of dvips (5.78) as RH5.2, but I am still hitting the same problem. If I run latex on a tex file, and then view it with xdvi, the file looks fine. If I then run dvips on the dvi file and generate a postscript file, and view it with gv, the document is messed up in terms of bullets and mathematical equations/symbols. I have not seen any reference to this in mailing lists, but since I have managed to repeat it on three different machines, I am quite baffled as to what exactly is going on. Any one else ever hit this problem? Any one have any idea on a solution to this problem?

Well, here are my two cents on this subject. First method of backup: Once a week I backup the system (/, /var, /usr, /etc, etc...) of each of my machines to tape, and then the next night I backup the data of my machines (/home, /web, databases). Every other night I just do an incremental of everything. I have about 4-5 machines I backup regularly, via a network, and NFS mounting the root of each system to the machine with the tape drive, and then backing up from there with afio. I hacked up my own scripts to handle all of it. As for hardware, I use an Exabyte 8700LT external, scsi, 8mm tape drive. It is about 1.5yrs old, and runs great! I can use either 5GB or 7GB tapes (native size), and by spliting the system from the data into seperate backups, that make maximum backup about 14GB, which is pretty large for even medium sized networks. While the drive was a bit expensive (~$600), the media is cheap (~$4 for 5GB, ~$9 for 7GB per tape), and the reliablity is excellent. Though you can now get the equivalent internal drive, an 8505XL, from Ebay for $300 to $400. So, far as I see it, if you are serious/smart enough to use Linux, you will also be serious/smart enough to set aside some money for a good quality backup hardware. After that, software is a matter of choice. Ok, my two cents.

Though I went and grabbed the source to termcap-compat, uncompressed it, ran 'debian/rules binary' in the resulting directory, and then installed the resulting debian package. The resulting library according to ldd was linked with libc6, while the one in the original termcap-compat package had been linked with lic5.

Termcap and Libc5/6 with Debian Problems...
I have a binary that is linked with both libc6 and libtermcap2 that I am trying to get running. I tried installing the termcap-compat debian package, and that provide the binary with the needed libtermcap library. Unfortuntely, since libtermcap was built and linked using libc5 (as stated in the package description), both libc5 and libc6 end up linked to my binary when I do a 'ldd' on it (I do have the libc5 package installed). I am rewarded for my efforts by a segfault of the binary when I try to run it, which is quite understandable given the two, conflicting, libcs present. The worse news is that I can not recompile the binary, as it is a commerical product. The product is C/BASE 4GL from Conetic (www.conectic.com) if any one is interested. It is actually thier demo version, and I have had the same problems with both thier Eval kit for RH5.0 and the one for RH5.1. Now, how, if possible, can one get this binary running? I imagine that I need a libtermcap2 built/linked with libc6. Does such a debian package exists? Or do I need to go find the sources and built it myself? Or should I just find a RH machine to test out this program? :( Thanks in adavance for any help! PS. This is better than thier previous Eval kit they had up until just recently...

I just needed some way to differentiate between my ISP and my system, and since they are "serving" me an Internet connection, and I am the "client" of the Internet connection, I used the naming as such. As for the authentication protocal, I understand now. The ISP was demanding an auth protocol and I was demanding one as well. Guess it does not work even when both demand the same auth protocal... Guess the reason I got confused is that my old RH4.2 desktop box demands pap (via +ua) and has been working fine. Of course that is version 2.2.0 of pppd, and the one I had on my laptop was 2.3.x, a relatively large jump. :) Thanks for the clarifications. | "For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." | |--- Philippians 1:21 (KJV)| -------- | Ryan Kirkpatrick | Boulder, Colorado | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | http://www-ugrad.cs.colorado.edu/~rkirkpat/|

Thanks for the suggestion. I did have this in the ppp options on
my desktop RH4.2 machine, just didn't think it made much of a difference
(since the user name was wrong for the connection it was using).
Though adding this option did not help the situtation, I got the
same behavior. After a few more hours of hacking away and trying to read
lcp debug messages I think I figured it out. DO NOT specify the
authentication method to use. Simply set in ppp options the username that
is going to be used in the authentication (via the user option), and then
put the username/password pair in either pap-secrets or chap-secrets as
needed. Then just let ppp loose and let it dailup as normal, and let it
figure out with the prompting for the remote end which authentication
method is wanted. It gets everything sorted out automagically.
This maybe of course a function of my ISP (Worldnet ATT and my
local university). Anyway, I manged to find the solution through the use
of the pppconfig program and reverse engineering why thier setup worked
and my hand craft one didn't. They never specified what authentication
protocal to be used (chap or pap), while I was.
Well, it is all working now. Thanks for you suggestion Klaus, it
lead me in the right direction towards the solution. Now on to getting a
firewall going... does it ever end? :)

and I will expand.

Haunted PPP daemon.....
Well, apparently in the spirt of Halloween, pppd has decided to
become haunted and not cooperate at all. I am trying to set up a dialup
internet connection on my laptop running Debian 2.0. I just updated it
from ftp.debian.org this morning, so everything is about as current as it
can get. It is also running kernel 2.0.35, and ppp 2.3.5-2.
First let me say I have tried everything to get it to work, both
with and without the use of diald. I know the service provider is
working, as I can dial over the same line from desktop machine running
RH4.2 and ppp 2.2.0 and connect to the ISP fine. It is also not the modem
in the laptop, as it has worked fine in the past with ppp connections when
it was running RH4.2, and when using minicom it gives me no trouble at
all.
With that said, here is my problem: Whenever the dialup is
complete, and chat is done, control is passed to ppp, which states that it
is starting up ppp, and then all of a sudden shows a SIGHUP and a modem
hangup. This signal is not coming from any other program, or is it due to
an actual hangup. Here is the syslog of a such an attempt via diald (same
behavior when all is done manually): {edited to protect the innocent}

same behavior. I saw a similar problem in the email archives for this
list, but no resolution was ever posted. Is there some config option I am
missing? Or is this some sort of known problem with ppp? If the later,
what is the work around? Thanks!
PS. Or is just because I am trying to do this on Halloween? :(

As for support, I just switched from a S3-968 based Diamond card because it was not supported very well either. :( Actually, the Matrox card came with a server I got a two months back, and it was to be headless, so I hated for a good card to go to waste, and dropped it in my workstation. :) > > > libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5 (0x4000b000) > > libvga.so.1 => /usr/lib/libvga.so.1 (0x40014000) > > libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5 (0x40051000) > > libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4010f000) > > ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x401b4000) > > Have you tried "unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH; unset LD_PRELOAD" - you may be > forcing something nasty upon squake.

Yea, they are. Haven't updated as I only have a slow 28.8 line to the net, and the school has been telling us any day they will have the dorm LANs up and connected to the Internet. Currently it is week three or four of that. :( Thanks for you help! | "For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." | |--- Philippians 1:21 (KJV)| | Ryan Kirkpatrick | Boulder, Colorado | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | http://www-ugrad.cs.colorado.edu/~rkirkpat/|

I am having exactly the same problem with squake on my Debian 2.0 system as well, only I have a Matrox Millium(sp?) card. 'ldd `which squake.real`' gives me: libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5 (0x4000b000) libvga.so.1 => /usr/lib/libvga.so.1 (0x40014000) libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5 (0x40051000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4010f000) ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x401b4000) Something is definetely wierd here, as linking to two libc (different versions no less) can not be good for the health. I have tried different values for LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LD_PRELOAD, but to no avail. The only lead I have on this is that Netscape 4.x was giving me simular problems to this as well. If I hand installed a copy of netscape into /usr/local/..., it would segfault on start, and an ldd showed that that it has also linked to both libc's, 5 and 6. When I feed the debian wrapper package for netscape the same tar.gz distrib file as I had used to install manually, netscape magically got installed in such a way that it looks for only libc5. From this, I suspect that the problem has little to do with svga lib or video cards, but with messed up linking. I need to look at the source to the debian wrapper package for netscape, the answer probably lies there, but I have not had time yet. My two cents, hope they help! | "For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." | |--- Philippians 1:21 (KJV)| ---- | Ryan Kirkpatrick | Boulder, Colorado | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | http://www-ugrad.cs.colorado.edu/~rkirkpat/|
