System is corrupted installing packages
Hi! I have the flash card image which contains a lenny dustr and I'd like to upgrade the OS there up to sid. I mount the image to the dir 'flash': mount -o loop,offset=16384 -t ext2 q.raw flash and I chroot into it: LC_ALL=C chroot flash/ /bin/bash Everything is ok. Then I run 'nano /etc/apt/source.list' and replace 'lenny' to 'sid'. After I run 'aptitude update'. Everything is still ok. Then I run 'aptitude upgrade -y', all necessary packages are started downloading. When the process is finished (system downloaded and configured all it had needed) I exit from the chroot. But, when I try to umount dir 'flash' I get: #umount flash/ umount: /home/debuser/work/flash: device is busy. (In some cases useful info about processes that use the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1)) I do and get: #fuser -m /home/debuser/work/flash /home/debuser/work/flash: 2832rce 8811rce if I do: #fuser -m -k /home/debuser/work/flash it ends these processes and my ssh session is terminated. After that I can't log in to the server via ssh. I try using 'fakeroot' but I was not succesfull. Is there any way to install and configure packages on mounted image without following results?

Re: Reverse ip lookup does not use /etc/hosts
In-reply-to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm almost certain that the 40-second delay reported in the previous message is due to tcpwrappers trying to do redundant reverse DNS lookups. I rebuilt exim from the version 3.36 source (same version Debian has on Sarge). It does have a build option for using tcpwrappers internally. I did not select it. And the problem does not occur with the rebuilt exim. IMHO it is wrong for the Debian package to select this option. If somebody wants to use tcpwrappers, it's possible (and easy) to use them external to the app by specifying them in the /etc/inetd.conf file. So the use of tcpwrappers need not (therefore should not) be built-in to the app. Incidentally, I don't see what good tcpwrappers do. They delay startup of the app for 40 seconds. They accomplish absolutely nothing. After the reverse lookup fails, the app just goes ahead anyway. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Reverse ip lookup does not use /etc/hosts
I am investigating a problem on my LAN - some
operations seemed very slow.
There are 3 machines on the LAN. Two (leo.galaxy and
orion.galaxy) are only connected to the LAN. The third
(ursa.galaxy) is the firewall/gateway and also has a
connection thru a cable modem to the internet.
The test: on orion, I do: telnet leo 25. Port 25 is
the smtp port and leo is set up to run exim. I am
running iptraf on leo to see what happens. Both leo
and orion are in /etc/hosts on all 3 machines. So I do
not expect to see any traffic to my ISP's DNS.
Here is what I see (iptraf log):
start log extract-
Fri Oct 8 19:12:39 2004; UDP; eth0; 56 bytes; from
leo.galaxy:59023 to ns1.ggamaur.net:domain
Fri Oct 8 19:12:44 2004; UDP; eth0; 56 bytes; from
leo.galaxy:59024 to ns2.ggamaur.net:domain
Fri Oct 8 19:12:49 2004; UDP; eth0; 49 bytes; from
leo.galaxy:59025 to ns1.ggamaur.net:domain
Fri Oct 8 19:12:54 2004; UDP; eth0; 49 bytes; from
leo.galaxy:59026 to ns2.ggamaur.net:domain
Fri Oct 8 19:12:59 2004; UDP; eth0; 49 bytes; from
leo.galaxy:59025 to ns1.ggamaur.net:domain
Fri Oct 8 19:13:04 2004; UDP; eth0; 49 bytes; from
leo.galaxy:59026 to ns2.ggamaur.net:domain
Fri Oct 8 19:13:09 2004; TCP; eth0; 60 bytes; from
leo.galaxy:36716 to orion.galaxy:auth; first packet
(SYN)
end log extract
The ISP's DNS are ns{1,2}.ggamaur.net so what seems to
be happening is that something on leo (exim?) is doing
a lookup, then times out after 40 seconds. The lookup
is completely pointless because after it fails, exim
continues anyway (and I see its prompt on orion). But
my question is, why is it going to the nameserver
anyway? Here's the relevant part of /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.1.9 ursa.galaxy ursa
192.168.1.5 orion.galaxyorion
192.168.1.11leo.galaxy leo
And here's /etc/nsswitch.conf:
passwd: compat
group: compat
shadow: compat
hosts: files dns
networks: files
protocols: db files
services: db files
ethers: db files
rpc:db files
netgroup: nis
Both leo and orion are running sarge. Here's the
output of uname -a on leo:
Linux Leo 2.6.3-1-k7 #2 Tue Feb 24 20:39:50 EST 2004
i686 GNU/Linux
Everything is up-to-date, I did apt-get update and
upgrade about a week ago.

IMAP/Exim
Currently on my system I have the following email setup: I am a RaodRunner cable user at home but have never actually used their email address/servers because I work for a small ISP (dial- up only) and use ours from habit and the convenience of maintaining my email addresses myself with remote storage if my home machine goes down. exim running in smarthost mode sending all outbound mail to the ISP server (which requires SMTP AUTH) fetchmail POPing everything from the remote server and dropping it directly into /var/spool/mail/[myusername]. All remote email addresses are equated to a single local username. At present, I prefer Sylpheed to read my mail. I am using POP3 to pull the mail into Sylpheed on my home machine and I let Sylpheed handle the filtering into various folders. I did this simply to avoid having the main /var/spool/mail/~user set up and being messed around in by a MUA. It allows some flexibility if I choose to switch to another MUA. I'm using solid POP3d for that. When I am remote on my winbox at work I use Pegasus Mail for windows to pull and filter mail, leaving the original in my home mail spool for later re-retrieval by Sylpheed (I archive). If I am remote on another machine I download Putty and SSH into my home machine to use mutt to read new mail, once again leaving it all in the inbox to be pulled into Sylpheed. Well, I now have an old P-166 laptop and I have woody successfully installed. I would like to make it my email machine for home, work, and travel. It has only a 2G hard drive so I don't want to try to keep my email archives on that machine. I would like to leave all folders and emails on the home machine. That means setting up IMAP to manipulate the information remotely. Sylpheed currently has all of my emails saved in MH style folders. Has anyone else set up IMAP with Exim/fetchmail? What is the suggested IMAP daemon? Will I be able to keep my current Sylpheed folder set up and point an IMAP client to those folders with an IMAP daemon installed? I know I'll either have to duplicate my filters in whatever MUA I use remotely or set up procmail to pre- filter but that's OK. If I use Sylpheed on the laptop I should be able to copy the relevant config lines over from the home machine. Any help appreciated, I've never set up or used IMAP in the past. I'd hate to trash my mail setup. Gerald -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

help with port forwarding
I have a Linux machine (Debian unstable with kernel 2.2.18) that is successfully masquerading for our local network. I want to do port forwarding so that machines on the Internet can see the web server of a machine on the local net. Following the IP-Masquerading howto, I have the following script which sets up the masquerading and attempts to set up the port forwarding as well: /sbin/depmod -a /sbin/modprobe ip_masq_ftp echo 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward echo 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_always_defrag echo 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_dynaddr /sbin/ipchains -M -S 7200 10 160 /sbin/ipchains -P forward DENY /sbin/ipchains -A forward -i eth1 -s 10.3.0.0/24 -j MASQ MYIP=X.X.X.X /usr/sbin/ipmasqadm portfw -f /usr/sbin/ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L $MYIP 80 -R 10.3.0.50 80 Where X.X.X.X is the IP address of the interface on the masquerading machine visible to machines on the Internet. Port forwarding isn't working though. It is apparent that something is happening as that now the web server on the masquerading machine no longer responds (as I assume traffic is indeed trying to be forwarded) but neither does the machine I'm trying to forward to respond.

Re: RAM economy tips
It sounds as though you do indeed have a memory leak somewhere rather than just a misunderstanding of the memory statistic numbers. However, I'm quite certain that the problem has nothing to do with the kernel, but rather a leak in one of the apps you are running. If you say that even after shutting down all the apps you are still thrashing, then I would suspect the problem is probably with KDE or one of the libraries it uses or something with X. Also, occassionally when closing an app that has a problem, even though the window disappears, sometimes the program continues running and using your memory. Use top to check this. Rebooting should not be necessary. See if restarting X solves the memory problem. Gerry In theory, this is fine. But on my system (512 MB RAM) it's not always like that. After a few hours of work with a lot of opening apps and documents and images, it dips into swap, and it does that even when I close most apps. So before I can continue working I have to reboot. This shouldn't be necessary. Is it because I have a 'pre' kernel? I wondered why they made the 2.2.18pre21 the default kernel for potato when they otherwise put software in it that are sometimes not usable because they're so ancient.

Is it legal to use mod-ssl (or apache-ssl) in the US for commercial purposes? I've seen some conflicting documentation on the matter (and it seems like I heard laws changed regarding this recently as well???). Also, is using mod-ssl or apache-ssl as secure as one of the secure commercial apache solutions (e.g. Stronghold)? And lastly, from what I've seen, most people seem to prefer mod-ssl over apache-ssl. I'm interested in preferences and opinions on this as well. Thanks, Gerry
Re: XMMS + Gnome + Sawfish

check for bad RAM program?
Several years ago in Debian there was a program that created a bootable floppy that would check for bad RAM. I can't find it now. I think it was called memcheck, but I'm not certain on that. Does anybody know what I'm talking about and where I can find it now? Thanks, Gerry

X development packages broken in woody?

RE: X development packages broken in woody?
Uggh, they removed X4 from Woody? I'm not sure I like this testing distribution thing. If I'm pointing at woody the whole time (which I have), I don't expect packages to be rolled back unless something is really wrong. So now that X has been removed from Woody, I must either roll back to X3 also, or get my X stuff from unstable. I don't want to move to unstable completely, as this workstation cannot afford any downtime. Is there any way to see which packages have been rolled back in Woody (I guess they're listed as obsolete in dselect)? Is there any way to automatically downgrade all the packages which have been rolled back? What was wrong with the old way of unstable-frozen-stable? Thanks, Gerry woody - testing XF4 is in unstable. If you want unstable, you have to specify 'unstable' in your apt list. Sounds like you used to follow woody when it was unstable, got some XF4, then when woody became testing you started getting packages expecting pure testing, not a testing - unstable mix. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: X development packages broken in woody?
You contradict yourself - if you were tracking woody you were tracking unstable. Since you were tracking unstable before I don't see why it's such a big deal to track it now ... Maybe it's not worth a discussion, but when I started using woody before, the stability of this machine was much less critical than it is now (nobody else relied on it then, but several people/machines do now). Also, I figure that unstable at the start of development of a new release (sid now) is probably a bit more unstable than unstable near the end of development of the release (woody of 2 months ago). The new release system mimics (as far as I can tell) the BSD development track: there's really stable, sorta stable, and not guaranteed to even work. Many find this arrangement preferable. So will testing always be available? I like the idea. I'm just not used to packages being rolled back in a release. But if I have apt-get always looking at testing, maybe that's what will make me happy.
Re: X development packages broken in woody?
You wouldn't have these problems if you would ignore the damn code names and track the appropriate distribution. If you want to track unstable point to unstable, not woody. _Don't_ _use_ _code_ _names_. But I did not want to track unstable, I wanted to track woody. That is, I didn't want apt-get update; apt-get upgrade to start tracking sid the moment sid became available. I wanted to stick with woody when it became frozen/stable. This is what I did near the end of potato's development. But, I guess I can't do that anymore.

alsa rear speaker weirdness
I have a sound blaster live soundcard. I previously had alsa working properly with the alsa drivers from woody. However, I recompiled to a newer kernel and so I needed to download the alsa source and recompile that too. I tried the alsa source from woody package, but it was an older version and didn't want to compile on my system, so I downloaded the source from alsa-project.org. I have it working now, but the volume control on my various apps (xmms, realplayer) has no effect.

helix gnome vs. woody gnome
About a month ago when installing a new system, I tried installing the Gnome that comes with Woody (I've been using Helix Gnome on other systems). I saw some strange behavior, but perhaps it was because I didn't have a lot of suggested packages installed at the time. And, although a trivial thing, the login pics were much better looking in the Helix packages. Anyway, I thought maybe I should go back to the Debian packages as I assume they conform more to Debian standards. My question is to those that have used both, will I be missing anything if I go back to the Debian packages? Are they as stable? Is there any strange behavior? Do they contain as many programs as are available in the Helix packages? What are the pros and cons of each? Thanks, Gerry

Re: updatedb not working / bug in updatedb
After more tinkering around, I think I've found the problem. The problem
is that updatedb is not able to execute the frcode program which it calls
to compress the database. In looking at an older version of updatedb, it
contains the line:
: ${LIBEXECDIR=/usr/lib/locate}
but the version from potato has the line:
: [EMAIL PROTECTED]@}
I'm not much of a shell hacker so I don't know what @libexecdir@ is
supposed to do, but evidently it's not setting the path correctly so
frcode is not being run and updatedb dies without creating the file.
Guess I should file a bug report if I can remember how to do that.

Re: Help - efax and USR Sportster
I had trouble with efax also until I used the version from the unstable distribution. The version from potato didn't work well with my modem (an older Supra). So, if you're not using the one from unstable, you might want to give that a try. Gerry On Tue, 11 Jan 2000, Colin Telmer wrote: I am having trouble getting my USR fax modem to work with efax.

No. I have no deliberate interaction with that machine whatsoever. I didn't know that machine existed until I got the message that ssh was waiting for the connection to that machine to terminate.

using swap files - where do I activate at boot?
I inherited a Debian system running potato. The system occassionaly was running out of memory so I thought I should increase my virtual memory. Rather than repartitioning the hard drive to add another swap partition, I thought it would be best to just use a swap file. So, I've created the file with dd, made it a swap file with mkswap, and activated it with swapon, and it's working fine. My question is, what is the best way to activate the swap file at boot time? Thanks, Gerry
Re: diff caches stuff in memory?
I too doubt this is directly related to diff (but I could be wrong). Is the clean_dir by chance on a network share? I did have a similar problem with a Samba share. If someone logged onto the Samba machine and modified a file, then a Windows machine on the network would not detect that the file had been changed because the Windows machine was caching the file. This was fixed by putting the option oplocks = False in the smb.conf file. I'm not sure if NFS exported directories might have similar problems. This probably doesn't help, but I thought it might be worth a shot. Gerry On Wed, 17 Nov 1999, David Wright wrote: Quoting Colin Marquardt ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): apparently diff caches stuff in memory. That seems unlikely. I thought linux did that itself. I noticed that when I wanted to make a patch with diff -urN clean_dir patched_dir my_patch The patch came out fine, but then I realized that clean_dir wasn´t really clean, so I made a new clean version *with the same* directory name. The second time I ran diff it went really fast. Too fast: it didn´t examine the files in clean_dir at all, it just used the data from the previous run which it had cached, so my patch was the same as before (wrong). I'm not sure what you mean by made a new clean version. (I'm sure you know that -N means any empty files that were cleaned away will have no effect on diff's output.) How can I get diff to forget what it saw? The manpage doesn´t tell me. (I didn´t think about `touch'ing the directory then, but I untarred clean_dir from a tarball, so it should have gotten a newer time stamp). I didn't know diff bothered about timestamps, and I doubt kernel caching uses them either. (Of course, programs like tar and zip do.) So, were I examining evidence, I'd be interested to know how you cleaned clean_dir, and I'd want to see a log showing diff getting the wrong answers (i.e. the diff output and two cats of affected files).

Re: Silly question: K6-3 and Enlightenment/Gnome ?
I get a segfault when starting Enlightenment/Gnome (from pototato) about 20% of the time (logging in from xdm). I have an AMD chip.. not sure which one though. I just started using Enlightenment (had been using WindowMaker) and I must say I'm *very* impressed and other than the occasional segfault on startup, I'm very happy with it.

qmail: where does it keep its log?

Getting Alt key to work in X with Win keyboard
I have a cheap keyboard which has a Windows key next to the Alt key. On the console, the Alt key works as expected, but in X, the Alt key doesn't work. Instead, the functionality of the Windows key and the Alt key seems to have been swapped (Windows key functions as the Meta key and Alt doesn't seem to do anything). I've tried different keyboard models in the XF86Config file, but I can't seem to get the Alt key to work as would be expected in X. What's the best way to get my Alt key to work in X with this keyboard? Thanks, Gerry
