adding real-world address to server ...

2003-02-20 Thread linux stuff
I've created a debian server with apache, php, mysql, etc. with a local
address of 192.168.100.43, and after testing it, i'm now ready to show it to
the world.  i have a gateway on the 192.168.100. network ... i want to add a
second interface (on the same nic) with the real-world IP address ...how do
i do that?  is there a HOWTO with *simple* instructions for doing this?

[ OT ] Debian GNU/Linux on SunFire 280R

2003-02-14 Thread GNU Linux
Hello all,

How mature is the Debian GNU/Linux for 64bit SPARC Machines?  Our office
bought SunFire 280R
<http://www.sun.com/servers/entry/280r/sun280r_serverdatasheet.pdf> with
2 UltraSPARC III Cu 900Mhz SuperScalar SPARC V9 processors and 4GB RAM
intended for my mail server project that I'll administer soon but I'm
afraid to use Solaris 8 or probably Solaris 9 for this purpose because I
don't have any experience with Solaris OS.  I'm thinking of using
GNU/Linux and I think Debian would be the best distribution for SPARC
machines.  But I'm actually a Mandrake Linux user.  I'm just afraid I
can't use the tools that I usually use in my Mandrake Linux machines if
I'll use Solaris 8 or 9.

I hope I can convince my boss not to use Solaris 8 or 9 on that machine
instead, I will use and install GNU/Linux on it and Debian would be the
distribution.

Advice please?  Am I doing the right thing?  Practically, what would
you recommend for production server like this one?

By the way, the project is not just the usual mailing service.  All the
mails that will go out to our server will be by batch jobs because the
nature of the project is a notification and confirmation service for the
clients.  My preferred MTA is qmail.

Please Cc: me for all your response because I'm not subscribe to this
mailing list.

Thanks in advance.

Knoppix-Piggy and Debian installer

2002-11-10 Thread DEbian/Gnu/Linux User Tony
Last fresh installation (about the 4th) I made of Woody was in some old 
pentium 2 - 350 mhz, with not much to show. To get things right from the 
beginning I used this time a trick: First I had run piggy (the installer 
from Progeny) and then knoppix. I copied the settings for X and the 
modules used into a floppy, since the hardware detection was so 
wonderfully done. Then, made a fresh installation of woody, recompiled 
the kernel with all needed modules, copied directly from the floppy the 
X config file, and now I have a completely painless Debian woody 
machine. So, I am wondering, why don't we integrate Knoppix and Piggy's 
capabilities into Debian, and make them part of the upcoming 
distributions? Is Klauss Knopper a Debian developer? If he is not, may 
be we should invite him to be one?
Just my 2 euros.
Thanks to all.

You should check out that /etc/fstab contains correct
device-information.
You may do symlinks for both of your drives, ie.
% cd /dev
% ln -s hdc cdrom
% ln -s hdd dvdrom

And then you may include both in /etc/fstab. There must be a directories
for mount-points, ie. /cdrom and /dvdrom (% mkdir /cdrom ; mkdir
/dvdrom)
and then you should have following lines in /etc/fstab

/dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noauto 0 0
/dev/dvdrom /dvdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noauto 0 0

and you may do your own configurations for automounting etc. (% man
fstab).

Well, you do have CD-burner. You should use generic SCSI-support and you
have
to append SCSI-emulation to your bootloader if you want to use your
burner
under linux, for cd-burning of course. With SCSI-emulation, that
CD-burner
became SCSI-cdrom, /dev/sr0.

You should check again that there is uncommented loadmodule for php4,

And then just /etc/init.d/apache restart

We are doing the Final year project titled "DESIGNING THE KISWAHILI VERSION OF 
LINUX OS" 
The first phase of this project was done by our fellow students who have 
completed their studies. In this phase they studied the structure of the linux 
operating system with an intention of developing the kiswahili version of linux 
os.
In second phase we expect to develop it. We have visited your  website and read 
your projects. We have been very much interested.
 So we would like to get help and cooperation from your team in accomplishing 
our project. 
We put forward our thanks.
 Yours

Re: net mask

2001-06-25 Thread linux
hi,
the address your supplied is a C-class address.
This needs netmaks 255.255.255.0
However, the -15 you put behind it is unclear to me, I never have seen that 
after a ip-number.
Anyways:
A-class 1.x.x.x-127.x.x.x netmaks 255.0.0.0
B-class 128.x.x.x-191.x.x.x 55.255.0.0
C-class 192.x.x.x-223.x.x.x 255.255.255.0
The remaining part os D-class and used for multicasting apart from the 
255.x.x.x which is tbe broadcast range.

Netmasks geiven her are ofcourse the most general options and can be different 
if a ip-blok is subnetted.

> Brian Schramm

 The approaches you've attempted so far all related to file sharing 
 protocols (NFS, SMB).  These are normally only used on the LAN or over
 VPN or dedicated links.  In general you're best approach for a one-time
 or any periodic file transfers is to archive the files into one large
 file (a tar file for UNIX and UNIX-like systems, a ZIP file for MS-Windows
 and MS-DOS systems, a Stuffit or similar file for MacOS boxes).  Usually
 you'd compress the archive as well (gzip or bzip2 for UNIX/Linux, implicit
 for .zip and .sit files).

 Once you have the files archived you can use ftp, scp (SSH copy) or
 even rsync over ssh to transfer it to the remote system.

 Of course this might take a very large amount of temporary file space
 (usually at least half of the total size of the originals) at each 
 end of the connection.  If this is a limiting consideration 
 for your purposes, perhaps burning CDs of the data and shipping them
 via snail mail might be the bettern approach.

 Under UNIX you can avoid the large temporary copy/archive requirements
 at both ends by archiving into a pipeline (feeding the archive data
 into a process which transmits the data stream to the remote system)
 and by having the remote system extract the archive on-the-fly.

 This usually would look something like:

cd $SOURCE && tar czvf - $FILE_DIR_LIST | ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] \
'(cd $DESTINATION && tar xzpf - )'

 or possibly like:
 

ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] '(cd $SOURCE && tar czvf - $FILE_DIR_LIST )' \
| cd $DESTINATION && tar xzpf -

 ... depending on whether you want to push the files from the local
 machine to a remote, or vice versa

 For MS-Windows and MS-DOS systems, I have frequently used a Linux boot 
 floppy (like Tom's Root/Boot at: http://www.toms.net/rb) or a bootable 
 CD (like Linuxcare's Bootable Business Card --- at: 
 http://open-projects.linuxcare.com/BBC/index.epl).  Basically you boot
 them up, mount up their FAT or VFAT filesystems and do your thing -- 
 in those cases I've usually had to use netcat in lieu of a proper
 ssh tunnel; but that's just laziness.

 Here's a sample script I use to receive a system backup from 
 a Windows  '98 Point of Sale system (which I call "pos1" in by
 backup file.

``
#!/bin/sh
  ifconfig eth0 172.17.17.1 netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 172.17.17.255
  nc -v -v -n -w 6000 -p 964 -l 172.17.17.2 964 -q 0 \
| bzip2 -c > $( date +%Y-%m-%d )-pos1.tar.bz2 
  ## cp /etc/resolv.conf.not /etc/resolv.conf
  sync
''

 I run this on one system, and then I go to the other system,
 boot it, configure the network to the ...2 address; as referenced
 in my nc command above, mount my local filesystems (the C: and D: drives 
 under MS-DOS; create a mbr.bin file using dd if=/dev/hda of=/mnt/mbr.bin 
 count=1 bs=512) and feed the receiver with:

tar cBf - . | nc -p 964 172.17.17.1

 (nc is the netcat command).

 If I had to manage any Win2K or NT systems I'd probably just install
 the Cygwin32 tool suite and see if I could use these same tools
 (tar, nc, ssh, etc) natively).  Obviously MacOS X should probably 
 have these tools already ported to it; so similar techniques should
 work across the board.

dear debian-users,
(debian-user subscribers please answer privately as well).
Does anyone have any good ocr-package for Linux which gives very good
results on all kinds of texts including the somewhat worse cases like
badly printed manuals and newspaper-articles.

At this moment I'm relying on a windoz package for which I have to reboot

for the tape-drive I'm pretty sure it's okay, I temporarely removed my
burner form the scsi-bus and used that cable for the tape-drive.
As internal-device it has no terminator, besides when not terminated
correctly it should not get through the cards bios-startup as well (which
it does correctly).

scsi aic7xxx problem

2000-08-11 Thread A. Demarteau \(linux rules!\)
dear debian users,
I'm having trouble with the above controler kernel 2.2.14 and two
scsi-units
one is a fujitsu external MO-drive the other is a internal tape-drive.
Both are seen correctly on the scsi-card bios during startup.
THe linux-kernel sees them correct as well but then times-out on both of
them without any specific reason.
Now I already set the timeout after reset in the kernel to 20 secs, but
that doesn't help at all.
Any suggestions (please reply private as well).

I thought perhaps I was a bit daft, but I also have had the same

the setup I had at the time. I use a variety of X window managers

Since Perl is an interpreted language, there are no assurances as to how long 
it will
take to run your script, because it highly dependent on how Perl "decides" to 
process
your instructions. CGI scripts typically are under their own process anyhow, so 
it
also depends on when the OS decides to schedule your script for execution. Since
Linux is not a "Real Time" OS there are no assurances on either front. The point
being that you can get a pretty good average (down to a tenth of a second) in
testing, but execution time may widly vary under a heavy system load.

Solution: Average time under a heavy load and feel comfortable with an average.

addendum: you can run CGI scripts in offline mode and feed them their form 
variables
through standard intput or command line args. so do something like $bash>time 
foo.cgi
key=value&key1=value and that will spit back some execution times. Do that 
alot
for an average.

Re: Unresolved symbol errors with custom kernel... .

2000-03-17 Thread Linux Information
Here is what I did:
   1. Untarred the kernel source (2.2.14)
   2. Applied ppDev patch (for 2.2.14)
   3. Applied ppSCSI patch (not for 2.2.14, for 2.2.10, I think.)
   4. make xconfig; make dep; make clean; make bzImage; make modules; make 
modules_install
   5. untarred the Soundblaster Live! source
   6. made the sb live modules; installed the sb live modules (this done with 
script from source of sb live module - also sb live module not for 2.2.14 
kernel, probably also for 2.2.10.)
   7. ran update-modules
   8. moved the kernel into place, edited lilo.conf, rebooted.

A new thing I just noticed: the sb live module claims to load correctly upon 
boot (I put it in /etc/modules.  I still get no sound, but it IS loading 
correctly.

Question:
   1. How can I check to see if the module is loaded correctly (sb live)?  Is 
there a test I can run?
   2. Should I have run depmod after installing new modules?  I think the 
problem may lie in old modules that I no longer need as modules.  Would running 
depmod clean the dependencies for old modules?

As for your ideas:
   1. I did not directly make soundcore or anything else, only make modules and 
install, should I have to make them each separately?  I don't have the 
experience of exporting symbols out by hand (I don't really know what the term 
symbols referrs to), but I would love to learn; where can I find a howto or any 
documentation about this?  There does not appear to be a modules howto.
   2. The patches in question were either for the correct kernel (2.2.14), or 
an older one (2.2.10)
   3. It is possible that my modules.conf is wrong.  Debian uses 
/etc/modutils/aliases and other files in /etc/modutils to change modules.conf.  
I could not find good documentation about how to use this, but I did find some 
into in the sb live sources - make a files called emu10k1 in /etc/modutils with 
the alias info.  It reads that file and uses it when I ran update-modules.
   4. I did not run depmod after building the modules and installing them.

Thank you,

Benjamin

Unresolved symbol errors with custom kernel... .

2000-03-17 Thread Linux Information

I am getting 20+ 'unresolved symbol' errors after installing a custom kernel 
and modules under the potato freeze of Debian.  Actually, now that I look at 
it, I get a lot more than 20, and the majority of them (I loose a lot from 
scrolling past the console buffer) are in /lib/modules/2.2.14/misc/.  I have 
applied two kernel patches (ppDev and ppSCSI), which both worked (after some 
tweaking).  My HP 5100 scanjet parallel port scanner works very well through 
the Gimp now!  The only other thing I have done to the kernel is to install (or 
try to) the Soundblaster Live module.  It does not work.  The errors I get from 
it are like this:

Using /lib/modules/2.2.14/misc/sound.o
/lib/modules/2.2.14/misc/sound.o: unresolved symbol 
sound_preinit_lowlevel_drivers_Rebdfb792
/lib/modules/2.2.14/misc/sound.o: unresolved symbol 
isa_dma_bridge_buggy_Rf82abc1d
/lib/modules/2.2.14/misc/sound.o: unresolved symbol 
sound_unload_lowlevel_drivers_Ra675fda1
/lib/modules/2.2.14/misc/sound.o: unresolved symbol 
sound_init_lowlevel_drivers_Rec0251af

I can access the mixer, but I'm not sure I've got the correct mixer devices, so 
I don't actually know if the mixer is picking up the mixer device (if that 
makes any sense).

I also get a smaller list of 'unresolved symbol' errors during boot.

Any ideas?

   I  have the same problem, in the x console. I thought perhaps it
   might be XF86 3.3.6 that is the problem. I re-compiled kernel 2.2.14,
   and the problem persists. Basically, the ps2 mouse is frozen in
   the x window; i.e., it reacts much like the old bus mouse problem.
   So now I kill gpm when invoking x, then use
   startx gpm -R -m /dev/psaux -t ps2
   and the mouse works fine in x. 


HELP: removed /var/lib/dpkg...

2000-02-14 Thread Debian Linux User

Hi,

due to an damn' typo i removed my complete /var tree, including the dpkg
files.
I created /var/lib/dpkg/status by hand and did a deselect update to
recreate the dpkg database.
But when i do a 'dpkg -l' it shows nothing although lots of packages are
installed.
Is there any way to recreate the list of installed packages?

Re: telnet to my machine

1999-09-21 Thread Quant-X UNIX and Linux Support
Hi,

This may not be a tcpd issue.  If it is, then you should experience a
delay just before "Connection closed..." message and be able to see
one or two connections to your auth port (aka ident) from the target
machine in a TIME_WAIT state:

% netstat | grep auth

Otherwise, in case it's happening *sometimes*, it could be faulty cables
or faulty software.  From what you wrote it's not possible to discover
this.  You should check with netstat what was going on on a particular
connection.

Bye

I don't know either, but you can check that in /etc/lilo.conf.  If the
boot variable is set to a disk (e.g. /dev/sda) then it'll overwrite the
MBR.  If it's set to a partition like /dev/sda1 then it'll go to that
partition and leave the MBR intact.

All you should do is find the kernel (it should be in
/usr/src/linux/vmlinux) and do:
gzip -9 < /usr/src/linux/vmlinux > /dev/fd0

Good luck.

Perhaps you should try with output T1 encoding.

Why don't you just go to /usr/src/linux and do:

$ make zlilo

In case your kernel lives in /boot, then you'll have to move System.map
and vmlinuz from / to /boot and run lilo again.

Otherwise, it may be pretty difficult to take out the kernel from the
diskette since you don't know its size.

Not sure if I understood your question.  Anyway, if you want to redirect
a particular file in a shell you don't have to know where it's been
directed to at a certain point.  For example, you can do something like
this:

exec 1>log 2>log.err
...
do something
(everything going to stdin is been redired to file "log"
and stderr to "log.err")
...
exec 1>log.a 2>log.a.err
...

I hope this helps.

Where you cannot see cyrillic? On web pages? In mail messages?

Can you see yrillic in other X applications?

Anyway, there will be problems even if you'll setup all correctly.
Netscape is buggy. The only way to see cyriliic in pop-up messages on web
pages, in subjects of mail and news messages and in some other places is to
completely erase non-cyrillic fonts from your computer and make cyrillic fonts
looks like iso8859-1. You have to copy cyrillic fonts to other directory,
"mkfontdir" there and edit fonts.dir, replacing koi8-r to iso8859-1.
Than add this directory to fontpath in XF86Config and remove old iso8859-1
fonts direcory from fontpath. 
Do not forget restart X or do "xset fp rehash".

/sbin/mdrun -pl -c4k /dev/md0

I don't know how big a problem having the keyboard locked
during printing would actually be.  My part-time job is in a 
hardware store that uses a POS system similar to the one
you are describing.  All of our registers are 386's networked to
a backroom server.  Each register has its own dot matrix printer, 
but while it is actualy printing the keyboard is locked.

This has never been any problem.  While the keyboard is locked we are
waiting for the invoice to print and/or the cash draw is open and we
are making change.  I should note that the invoice only prints 
after the sale is finalized.

Actually the very first version of this POS system used WYSE 
terminal and there pass through printing feature.

Re: Transfering system directories to new HD

1997-09-14 Thread RHS Linux User
Try cp -ax /source /destination 
The a option copies symbolic links as links, preserves permissions, and 
copies directories recursively.
The x option tells cp to not copy anything on a different file system.

I have always used this method and the only thing I have to do is 
create the directories that act as mount points, they do not get 
copied because of -x.

Hope it helps

Hard drive crash question

1997-07-03 Thread Linux dist. research
Greetings,

Last night I got the exciting message on my screen:

scsi0: medium error on channel 0, id3, lun 0, CDB: read (6)
Current Error sd08:02 sensekey medium error
additional sense indicates record not found

repeating many times as I tried to boot.  A day ago, I got a crc check
sum error on a known working kernel, and then before I got the medium
errors, I had fsck troubles, and couldn't get the file system repaired.

Does this look like a certain hard drive failure, or does anyone think it
could be caused by something else, say bad cache, ram, etc.?

I'm asking because I'd hate to return the drive to Seagate, only to find
that the problem is somewhere else.  I also plan on doing some separate
drive testing, but wanted to get other input as well.

Thanks in advance!

Chip

P.S.  I do have backups, and, oddly enough, ordered an extra drive a
couple days ago as a coincidence.  Therefore, my life isn't ruined :-)

Re: enable 16bit and 24bit

Accelerated X (I'm assuming the server that Phil mentions) does indeed
support multiple depths (overlays) simultaneously.  The 24bit depth is
useful for things like netscape, while the 8 bit is useful for things like
WABI, Executor, and Emress.  (There is an overlay patch available on our
FTP site that corrects a problem shown by WABI)

Have you disabled plug and play?  If not, boot to DOS, put in your 3Com

Really?  That's a step back from last fall, when I got two 3c509s to work
in a machine at my previous employer.

The biggest problem that we had was plug and play.  The old cards didn't
have it, and worked fine.  The new cards did have it, and it drove us nuts
until we found out about it and disabled it using 3c5x9cfg in DOS.  After
that it worked very well.

As Remco pointed out,
--
Read the Multiple Ethernetcards FAQ:

append="ether=0,0,eth0 ether=0,0,eth1"

Remco.

This is basically what we did, but we actually provided the IRQ and IO
numbers.

Re: 100 Mbit Ethernet

1997-06-20 Thread Linux dist. research
Greetings,

It seems that SMC has changed the EtherPower 9332 a bit, and has caused us
a considerable amount of grief.  If you can get the older 9332DST rather
than the newer 9332BDT or 9332BVT, you are better off.  A couple days ago,
I was configuring my machine as a gateway and put another card in it.  I
have a 9332DST and tried to add a 9332BDT and couldn't get the card to
connect to the network.  I could ping the internal IP address, but getting
data from the cable inside the machine was something I couldn't do.  I
scrounged a DE435 from another machine and everything is now working fine.

I'm hoping that the newer versions of the tulip driver work with these new
types of SMC cards since we bought a 5 pack

How are base disks created?

1997-06-19 Thread Linux dist. research
Greetings,

I'm trying to figure out how to create the installation diskettes (or
images really) for Debian Linux and was wondering if I could get some
help or even pointers to help.

My question is, in what format is the data on the base disks?  It didn't
appear to be a file system, a gzipped file system, or a compressed file
system. 


Thanks in advance.

Re: Installing Debian Linux

One problem that you may be having with the 3c509 is the plug and play
capability.  If you boot to DOS, run 3c5x9cfg and disable plug and play,
the card should work great.

SMC 9332BDT help request

1997-06-09 Thread Linux dist. research
Greetings,

I am having trouble getting some network cards that we just bought to work
with Debian linux.  Previously, the SMC 9332DST cards worked just fine.
However, the new batch that we purchased, SMC 9332BDT (note the DST vs.
BDT) don't work.  Has anyone gotten these to work?  I only need 10Mb/s
right now, but am only getting 0Mb/s at the moment.

I can tell you that the networking and everything is set up properly.  I
put an old style SMC 9332DST card in and it worked flawlessly.  Rebooting
with the 9332BDT (and nothing else changing) results in no network.

Boot question

Greetings,


I'm trying to change the ethernet card in my machine from a 3c509 to an
SMC 9330 BDT, but during boot the 3c509 module gets loaded and the tulip
module doesn't.  

My question is where are these modules loaded into the kernel during boot?
I thought they would be in the rc.* files, or etc/init.d, but grepping for
insmod and grepping -i for 3c turned up nothing.

Perhaps someone could shed some light on the problem for me.

Re: Latex: where to install new styles? Mf: how to muzzle?

1996-09-06 Thread RHS Linux User
Hi there

I normally assume that Latex should be installed in /usr/local/texmf
 where all the libraries and styles are included. for everything to work 
perfectly you should add the proper paths in the /etc/bashrc or .bashrc

export TEXMF=/usr/local/texmf
export TEXINPUTS=.:$TEXMF/tex/latex2e//:$TEXMF/tex//

with these paths all the needed styles and defs are found by the system.

However and I dont know why linux distributions came with texmf installed 
in the /usr/lib/texmf

which is almost the same thing.

so what I should do in your case could be one of the two following things:

 - reinstall the latex package in the /usr/local/
   and install the new styles in the styles directory inside texmf

   or go ahead and install the packages in /usr/local but create a 
simbolic link in the styles directory inside /usr/lib/texmf where ever it is.

hope this helps
