Re: dist-upgrade broke srage
I was finally able to get lilo working again, but kernel panics (image 2.6.8-1-k7) VFS: Cannot open root device 301 or unknown-block(3,1) Please append a correct root= boot option Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(3,1) I have no idea what this means, but this is as close as I've come to getting this resolved. in my lilo.conf, I have boot=/dev/hda root=/dev/hda1 What I did was this: Booting to knoppix cd, I was able to mount all of my partitions, then I did chroot to my hda1 partition. doing this was able to do apt-get install --reinstall kernel-image-2.6.8-1-k7 (I still have the .deb in my apt cache) and it did go thru the install and it asked me all kinds of lilo questions. It created a new lilo.conf which looks drammitacally different (it only hase one image= defined) but for some reason I still get my old lilo boot menu as if it were getting it from somewhere else! Being fed up with this, I did apt-get remove lilo and did apt-get install grub when that was done I did grub-install /dev/hda. I rebooted and I got the grub prompt: grub so I did grub kernel /vmlinuz (vmlinuz is symlink to kernel-2.6.7-1-k7) grub initrd /initrd.img grub root (grub uses (hd0,0) ) grub boot the kernel begins to boot and it gets to a new and completely different kernel panic: pivot_root: No such file or directory /sbin/init: 426: connot open dev/console: No such file Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init! This really should not be this difficult. Either lilo or grub should be working. The kernel should work. What am I missing? Jim __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - You care about security.

dist-upgrade broke srage
I just did a dist-upgrade on my sarge installation and for some reason it tried to re-install my kernel image. I'm using kernel-image-2.6.8-1-k7. Now I get a kernel panic. I then discovered thru google that there is a criticle bug in sarge. I booted to an old debian cd hoping to use it as a rescue CD but that didn't work: it can't mount any of my partitions from my 80GB drive. So, I am now waiting for a sarge CD image of disk one to download hoping that the newer kernel will detect the drive. That is my plan, but if anyone knows of any reasin why this shouldn't work please let me know.. If anyone has any new information about the status of the criticle bug in sarge please post. If this is the wrong list to be post this to let me know and I do appologize. Please cc me on any replys. Thanks Jim __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - You care about security.

OT: google or debian-user?
It is a shame that at times debian-user can be so inhospitable to debain users. I think it is unfair to have a question answered with try google or some other variation of RTFM. Am I to understand that instead of using the debian-user list that I should use a search engine? I was under the impression that the debian-user list was a forum for debian users. I always search the debain-user archives before asking a question and if I don't find an answer then I ask my question. Generally I do not do google searches unless I am seaking global information such as is my hardware supported under linux. But I know that debain does things differently than the way other distros do things, (otherwise there would be no need for .deb packages, right?) so in most cases I figure the problem has something to do with a debain specific driver or setting. I am rather new to linux in general and have ever only used Debian so I am not familiar with what is just specific to debian and what is global across all linux distros. I suppose I could have asked is my issue at hand something that is supported differently in debian than other distros or do all distros support it the same? but that is even more annoying than asking the question outright. However I will in the future assume that any problem I have is the same in all distros and I will do searches on the web first. I concede to RT proverbial FM even if that M is spread across all of the known Internet. Who knows? maybe I will never again need to post a message to the debain user list.

kernel panic on boot floppy
One more thing I tried last night. I created the bf24 boot floppies from the debian 3.0r1 CD but got a kernel panic. I also downloaded the unstable boot floppies from one of the debian primary sites and again got a kernel panic. Why would the floppy kernel fail to boot? - Message Forwarded on Tue, 24 Feb 2004 11:25:36 -0400 - Hi all, something very interesting. I booted debian on my old western digital as primary master (on board ide) and my cd-rom as secondary master and cd-rw as secondary slave.

Ok, Linux boots up perfect. It sees the seagate and I am able to csfdisk and mkfs. as root I mounted /dev/hde and I can use the drive. The drive works. However, nothing has allowed me to boot the install CD and install a fresh debian onto the new seagate. The install insists there are no hard disks. I don't know what to do.

sorry for all the questions... if I were going to move lets say /usr and /home to the

I would have to create two partitions and follow the steps above for each?
here's a question for you.. what directories tend to take up the most space?
I know /var/cache/apt/archives tends to get pretty big, and probably /bin,
/usr.. i'm thinking I would need a partition for each.. how do I know how much space to
allot to each? if I make it too little I could be faced with re-partitioning
the drive..

installing woody using siig ultra ata/133 pci card
Hi all, I'm trying to install woody (3.0r1) from CD's on a PC with an AMD K6 II 500mhz and a brand new Seagate 80GB Barracuda Ultra ata/100 and a brand new SIIG ultra ata/133 pci controller. in addition to the new Seagate, the pc has an IO Magic CD-ROM and an LG CD-RW. Prior to buying the new Seagate and the new SIIG controller the pc ran fine with a 2GB Western Digital connected to the on board IDE. First I tested the the SIIG controller by connecting the old western digital to it's primary channel and connected the cd-rom and cd-re to it's secondary channel. I disabled the onboard ide in the BIOS. I booted. The SIIG sucessfully detected all drives and linux booted. Every worked. Then I took out the western digital and installed the new Seagate to the SIIG primary channel. I was hoping the SIIG was smart enough to boot from cd but it didn't. The SIGG detected all drives but wouldn't boot the cd. Now here's where I start my trial and error. I'm not sure what is the best configuration to use at this point. I removed the cd-rom and cd-rw from the SIIG and attached them back to the secondary onboard ide and re-enabled it in the BIOS. SIIG detected my new Seagate, the BIOS detected both CD drives and the Debian woody cd booted but the debian installation didn't see the new Seagate. Maybe the SIIG isn't even compatible with linux?

Re: Re: installing woody using siig ultra ata/133 pci card
Maybe the SIIG isn't even compatible with linux? Is there a boot floppy out there that I can use to get the installation going? How can I get the debian installation to see the Seagate? Jim Did you try fdisk the first thing after you booted the CD? No, the installation doesn't see the drive and says something like (paraphrasing) Since there is no hard drive you must be trying to install from a network. Please configure your network settings to continue Usually I would get a prompt to create a swap partition then a prompt to create a root filesystem. I've been reading many differing opinions about this. Some say the kernel should detect the drive, others say I need to install knoppix then do a dist-upgrade to linux. I'm confused. Should the bf2.4 image work and if not does anyone know where I can get a boot image that will work? Thanks! Jim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

something weird happened to my cd-rw
Hi all, something weird happened to my cd-rw after upgrade. I upgraded to testing and installed the kernel-image-2.3.24-1-k6. I logged on, ran startx and then ran xcdroast. Everything seemed to be working. I put in a 650MB cd-r disk into my cd-rw drive and began to make a backup of some files. at about 98% I got a write error. hmm.. that seemed strange. I mounted the cd-r in my cd-rom drive but got an error saying no compatible filesystem. So, I popped the cd-r into my Windows PC and the disk seems fine. all of my files are there. So back over to debian I popped in another cd-r disk and... xcdroast says I have no cd-rw drive. It also can not detect my cd-rom drive. I did not reboot or anything before popping in the second cd-r disk. very strange. So I ran modconf thinking that the ide-scsi driver wasn't loaded anymore. The ide-scsi module was in fact loaded sSo I removed it and added it back. Then I added an append statement to my lilo.conf here is the image entry in my lilo.conf: default=Linux image=/vmlinuz label=Linux read-only initrd=/initrd.img append=hdc=scsi hdd=scsi # restricted # alias=1 I looked in /etc/modules.conf and there is no entry for ide-scsi. With the system the way it is right now I am able to mount both the cd-rom and the cd-rw from /dev/scd0 and /dev/scd1 respectively but I can not get xcdroast to detect the drives. cdrecord -scanbus gives me the following information: #begin cdrecord -scanbus Cdrecord-Clone 2.01a25 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2004 Jörg Schilling NOTE: this version of cdrecord is an inofficial (modified) release of cdrecord and thus may have bugs that are not present in the original version.

xf86cfg crashes
Hello, I ran xf86cfg, but as soon as I selected the mouse (using the number pad to navigate) it crashed. I did this about 10 times before I gave up. Then I used XF86Config and I set the resolution to 1024x786, but when xfree came up it still had the old resolution of 800x600. at this point I turned off my machine. How can I get xf86cfg to not chrash when I try to configure the mouse? (it is a simple ps2, 3 button mouse from Belkin; it works with Xfree, just not with xf86cfg) Hi, All i did to configure X is # xf86cfg after it loaded i just quit and let it save the config files and everything was automatically configured correctly video card/keyboard/mouse. it that doesn't work then use xf86config thanks Srinivas --- Xucaen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, I used to use XFree86Setup to make changes to my system.

xf86cfg crashes when I try to configure mouse
I have just upgraded debian 2.2 r3 to debian 3.0 r1 (from CD). Xfree runs perfectly. However, I need to reconfigure the resolution. I currently have 800x600 and would like to have 1024x786. I was dismayed after learning that XF86Setup was no longer a part of Debian. I tried to use xf86cfg but it crashes as soon as I select the mouse button. I have tried using XF86Config but the resolution never changes even though I specifically set the default at 1024x786. Xfree runs fine but with the old resolution. I have a Diamond Stealth 3D 2000 card with 4MB of memory on it, and a 3 year old Gateway monitor. How do I get xf86cfg to stop crashing? Can I get XF86Setup back? why does XF86Config seem to not work at all?

XF86Setup no longer works. when I select it from my fvwm menu nothing happens. no errors no screen flashing, nothing. You seem to have started more than one thread on this, so forgive me if I'm losing track of where you are at. Am I right in thinking that you now have X4 up and running ? XF86Setup and xf86config are for X3.3. For X4 do #dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 Ok, here's where I get confused. I have plenty of questions for everyone so please bear with me. I do have X3.3.6 running... apparently. I had thought that a dist-upgrade to woody would install X4 but it would seem it did not. The dist-upgrade did create an X4 XF86Config in /etc/X11 which is why I couldn't get X running after the upgrade. Now for the confusing part: I _did_ install xserver-xfree86 using apt-get install xserver-xfree86 and it installed fine but X3.3.6 is still what gets loaded when I run startx. Very strange. I don't really have a preference as to whether I have X3.3.6 or X4 installed as long as it works. ;-) so, how do I get one fully installed and the other fully removed and why didn't dist-upgrade take care of this? Now, since I apparently do have X3.3.6 running, should I remove xserver-xfree86? Perhaps that is what's keeping my XF86Setup from working? Or should I remove the X3.3.6 packages and get X4 working (and thus put back the X4 XF86Config)? My fonts are different. I think some font packages didn't get installed. What are the names of the default font packages for woody (testing)?

Xresources/xterm no longer being read?
Hi all, very weird that this happens. /etc/X11/Xresources/xterm used to give me a black background instead of the default white background, but now with woody it is as though it isn't being read. I'm attaching it just incase the syntax has changed. thanks! xucaen ! /etc/X11/Xresources/xterm ! Uncomment the following lines to make xterm appear much like a virtual ! console, so that ANSI colors will make more sense. XTerm*background: black XTerm*foreground: gray90 !

X not starting properly in woody
Hi all, I was running a fully updated 2.2r3 system and I dist-upgraded to woody (testing) yesterday. I ran apt-get --fix-broken --show-upgraded dist-upgrade and everything installed without a hitch except one: xdm didn't install and no longer runs when I boot and when I run X I get the grey background with the 'x' mouse pointer but nothing else. the X server just sits there. I am able to move the mouse pointer and I am able to switch between local terminals so I know the system didn't hang. I get no menus, no xterms, and worst of all: no error messages! Has the startup script for X changed? I used to use .xsession and .xinitrc and those are still intact. How do I get X up and running? Are there any packages not installed by dist-upgrade? Do I need to re-install packages one by one? if so, which ones? there are quite alot of them to search thru in the package directory. I read the release notes and found good information about upgrading from a pre-2.0 debian system but nothing concerning X not starting. I'm stumped. this is the first time I have had trouble installing a debian system Any help will be greatly appreciated. thanks xucaen __ Do You Yahoo!? Try FREE Yahoo!

In my opinion, unless the system you're compiling on is in fact a Debian system, you might be more likely to get answers in places like gnu.gcc.bug or gnu.gcc.help or plausibly comp.lang.c.

VIM distribution files missing?
Hi all.. still playing with vim trying to get it to work properly, and I noticed that Debian has no VIM system files! Isn't it supposed to have a default syntax.vim file and a default .vimrc file?

switch(ch){

Debugger DDD with gdb
Hi all. I have installed DDD, and it looks neet, however when I am stepping thru a simple program it fails on an ifstreem. This same executable does not fail when run from xterm. Is there an option that I missed to tell DDD not to fail when opening input files? Or is there a better graphical front end? Maybe this is a limitation with GDB? I am running Stable version of Debian, using g++ Thanks! xucaen [EMAIL PROTECTED]
DDD with gdb Answer
Hi all... somehow just asking the questions enables me to figure out the answers! ;-) I had thought that in DDD, File=Open also changed into directory but it does not. That's why the input failed. it couldn't find the file. It's working now that I run DDD from current directory.(instead of from fvwm menu, and I am certain that File=Change Directory will work also) hmmm.. how do I get color syntax to work in vim 5.6.070-1??

fsck and non-contiguous
Hi all. You know how every so often while booting debian, fsck will run? well, last week I noticed that after it ran, it said .3% non contiguous. Today it ran and it said .6% non contiguous. My question is.. why diesn't fsck fix the non contiguous errors it finds? about a month ago my hard drive failed. before it failed it was dojng this same thing. when debian wouldn't boot any longer, I ran fsck manually and it didn't seem to work.. Not fsck's fault, the hard drive is completely bad. Could this be a sign of another hard drive failure? (it's a different drive, I tossed the old one) or should I just run fsck as root and fix the non contiguous errors? thanks! xucaen

The group audio is there for this purpose. You do not have to add it, is is already there on debian systems. On my system, the audio devices are owned by the group audio. Example: ls -l /dev/dsp shows: crw-rw1 root audio 14, 3 Jul 9 2000 /dev/dsp In fact, if you do ls -l /dev | grep audio, you'll see the whole lot of audio devices. So all you need to get access to these devices is to be in group audio. Do, as root, addgroup user audio to add user to that group. Now the user has to either login again (or restart x11), or type newgrp in the shell from which to access audio devices. You can check the groups you are (or really: your process is) currently in with the id and groups commands. Cheers, Joost __ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!

Hi,
I thought I'd found a gcc compiler error (and
still may have). The
following program crashes with a segmentation
fault.
#define N 209677
int main(int argv, char **argc) {
int
i;
double
a[N],
b[N],
c[N],
d[N],
e[N];
c[0]=0.0;
i=1;
c[i]=c[i-1];
}
If I make N slightly less, or reduce the number
of arrays defined, it
runs fine. If I write instead c[1]=c[0] it
runs fine. Basically, I
simplified the original program as much as I
could in ways which still
caused the Seg Fault to happen.
So I thought this must be a compiler error.
The program was called
thick4.c. I used emacs to paste the file
into a new buffer called
test.c. But this one worked fine when I
compiled The two files
thick4.c and test.c are identical, as both
diff and cmp prove.
The executables thick4 and test differ very
slightly however.

7 02:51 thick4.c
and
$ cmp thick4 test
thick4 test differ: char 3061, line 2
Why would identical files compile to slightly
different executables?
I have included gzipped versions of these
executables with this email.
Has anyone got any idea what might be going on?
Or suggestions about
what I could investigate next!
Also, can anyone else replicate the error I got
(using thick4.c as
your file name).

Re: Mozilla instability - followup
Hi. I just installed mozilla off my debian 2.2r2 CD's. I ran it for the first time from xterm, and while I was using it, it just dissapeared, just like you mentioned. the error in the xterm window said segmentation error and gave some numbers... it hasn't happened since (it's only been a day) I'm using FVWM window manager, X 3.3.6 xucaen On Sat, Feb 24, 2001 at 10:46:22PM -0500, Glenn Becker wrote: I thought it might be a good idea to see if I could get an error output for this problem, so tried firing up Mozilla from the command line - to my surprise, the browser worked fine when invoked this way! I could enter addresses in the location bar without the browser crashing on me. However, the problem re-appeared when I opened Mozilla with wmaker or blackbox menus. So: there is a way to avoid the problem, but I'd still like to know *why* this happens and if there is a way to fix it. It's in the mildly-annoying-but-why-does-it-happen camp. Whenever I try to interact with Mozilla at all, whether it's entering a new address in the location field or filling out a form, doing so blows the app away. It just disappears. I attempt to put the cursor in the location field, hit backspace and the whole thing goes away. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

how to view man pages.
Hi all. I just installed libncurses5-dev. man ncurses gives me a very nice overview of ncurses. It also gives me a very big list of function within ncurses. Next to each function name is the matching man page name. for instance, clear() has the man page clear(3NCURSES). when I type man clear(3NCURSES) i get [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/src$ man clear(3NCURSES) bash: syntax error near unexpected token `clear(3' However, I did find that particular page in /usr/share/man/man3/clear.3ncurses.gz How do I view this page using the man command? I have had this problem with many other pages, not just ncurses. thanks!! xucaen __ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo! Mail. http://personal.mail.yahoo.com/

pseudo-OT: curious -- why GPM????
Hi all! In the few months that I have been reading the debian user list, I have seen many many posts about the conflicts GPM seems to have with X. I have never used GPM, but I thought it was only something to be used in a text-only environment. Is there really any significant advantage to using it under X? I've read about users banging their heads against a wall trying to get it to work, and I was curious it it is really worth it and if maybe I should be using it. What does it do? (I don't have any man or info pages installed) xucaen __ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo! Mail. http://personal.mail.yahoo.com/
C++ man pages. (was: Re: Missing C Lib man pages)

Are the info pages in there also? thanks! xucaen p.s. ncurses.h? __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Auctions - Buy the things you want at great prices! http://auctions.yahoo.com/

Re: man
Hi, I'm not sure if this is relevant, but my very first time installing debian on an intel, I failed to install any man pages, and everytime I used man, it couldn't find anything.. Is it possible that man didn't get installed on your Imac? xucaen --- Nic Ferrier [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've just installed debian (potato) on an IMac (which went rather well all things considered). I've upgraded the kernel to 2.4.2-pre4 (a PPC kernel release) and everything seemed to be going well. However, I've just noticed that man doesn't find the man pages. All the pages seem to be installed and mandb is set up correctly... it's just not working. I also tried setting the MANPATH to the same location as the mandb stuff but that didn't work either. Is man broken or something? or am I doing something incredibly wrong? man works on the 5 other debian (intel) machines I have here. I'm very confused. Please help.

Re: Linksys ISA
hi! I am running 5 systems, each using a linksys 16 ISA. It works wonderfully with linux!! I used the setup disk to manually set the IRQ and address on the card, then use the linux NE2000 driver. If you have any problems, let me know. I have 3 debian machines using these linksys cards. :-) xucaen --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I am setting up another Debian box.
