posix procs: where is it gone ?

1998-06-23 Thread Stelios Parnassidis

 Is the old (?) ps, the one with the PS_PEERSONALITY setting, to find
 under debian ?

 I'm running/poerting a huge package related to my job, which rely
 very heavy on the posix conform switches of 'ps'.

 One of a sudden sometime ago nothing goes anymore because
 in many cases system("ps -ef ... ) is used, and it must stay like
 that... :(

libstdc++ : unresolved ref... 'errno_location'

1998-06-10 Thread Stelios Parnassidis

 I'm boxing myself hard through same progs, written for HP and Solaris,
 many things in C++.

 I have somehow brought it to compile error-free, but then on 
 calling the executables i get this unresolved 'errno_location'.

 Allthough i see it in a  file, and realize it might have
 to do with threads, i cannot find out how it makes it in the
 compiled libraries - the ones i generate - why and where ...

 Please if it's a known problem don't blame, i need help ..

After a suggestion on the BUG report system i have put the cast (ext2_loff_t)
at two places in the source file. It seems to work now. Specialists please
verify that this does not break anything else.

P.S. There is an attempt to correct this in the debian package util-linux, but 
it is 
unfortunately applied uneffectively:

NIL:   if (ext2_llseek(fd, (ext2_loff_t)(sect_num*SECTOR_SIZE), SEEK_SET) < 0)

how did you make it with the (still) broken cfdisk

1997-03-06 Thread Stelios Parnassidis

It is my second week after having started with debian. I wanted to
taste what's it is like to have a 'stable' system running...

Anyway it's anything but stable but i'm still fighting.

I have also wondered from the very beginning, after having
carefully swallowed the install.html, how im heaven can
poeple go on with the first very important tool broken: cfdisk.

A big warning was there about my last chance to backup/ first
to sweep out my disk.

I had already partitioned the 3.1MB of the fireball, so i needed
only to change the type of a partition to swap. But the
install menu wanted then to patition the whole disk again.
Ok, i had to make it without swap.

Some days later i found my way to bug report system, for which
i can only express my respect. If only the maintainers would
do respectively serious work. I found the answer there but don't
know yet how to put it in the packaging system.

Sometime  last November was a hint to repair the bug in cfdisk:

 Subject: Re: Bug#5466: cfdisk is broken for disks >4GB

Solution: just as for fdisk:

On every call to ext2_llseek, cast the sector number to ext2_loff_t

And then:

Fixed in 2.5-8.

So i found the fix in util-linux_2.5-8.diff.gz and  util-linux_2.5-9.diff.gz
which are what i have found to be the latest rex-fixed release.

in file cfdsik.c:

  void read_sector(char *buffer, int sect_num)
  {
 -if (ext2_llseek(fd, sect_num*SECTOR_SIZE, SEEK_SET) < 0)
 +if (ext2_llseek(fd, (ext2_loff_t)(sect_num*SECTOR_SIZE), SEEK_SET) < 0)

and

  void write_sector(char *buffer, int sect_num)
  {
 -if (ext2_llseek(fd, sect_num*SECTOR_SIZE, SEEK_SET) < 0)
 +if (ext2_llseek(fd, (ext2_loff_t)(sect_num*SECTOR_SIZE), SEEK_SET) < 0)
 fatal(BAD_SEEK);
 

Of course for the cast it is too late:
the first suggestion was meaning : (ext2_loff_t)sect_num*SECTOR_SIZE


Well, i mean cfdisk is not a tooly. cfdisk should have been exaustively checked
before released.

Together with some other similar missings, this broke my hope i could rely on
the famous rocky solid debian. 

RedHat has aldready lost my confidence. So i see i shall keep on with my own
hybrid installations (old good slackware, sigh :( ).

For the end, i have a lot of respect and thank for all the guys out there, 
neverthe-
less i would like to remind that ten thousands of innocent users out there
are also a part of the process. ...

I had not realized that the rescue disk has an msdos filesystem, so everything
i need should be now clear. I should only have to put my own kernel on the
floppy and go on. Sorry for the Bandwidth,

If you have access to the kernel sources, /usr/src/linux, then you may
have a look at linux/Documentation/ramdisk.txt. It contains a nice,
extensive story on how to build boot disks including compressed root images.

rescue disk fails booting, cannot install ..

1997-02-21 Thread Stelios Parnassidis


I had just posted this to comp.os.linux.setup, as i found out of
the debian-users list. so im sending it here too.

Briefly : I concluded that to be able to install Debian on my machine
i need to have a root.image file for the rescue disk which then
i make up myself (with an own working kernel). Where can i get
a Root Image for the installation please ?

I set up the 7 installation diskettes and started with the rescue disk.
It goes ok up to the point where the aix7xxx driver complains about missing
BIOS32 extentions. It says that it still depends on it gives a panic not
syncing message and hangs.

My machine is an encient ISA/VLB motherboard w/ 486DX/2 and an
adaptec 2842 scsi controller.

I used to have big problems with the aic7xxx/2842, but some day in the
past they stopped and since then up to my current kernel 2.0.28 it works
fine. Only if i compile PCI extentions in my kernel - which i don't need
of course - then it does not work.

It is natural the universal boot kernel of the debian's rescue disk
includes a PCI support, but this makes me very unhappy.

So the solution for me would be the download the compressed root image
of the rescue disk and rebuild a rescue disk using a kernel of my own.

thanks for any help,

stelios parnassidis
