Re: Connecting to internet KDE
Le Dimanche 3 Juin 2001 01:21, John Hasler a écrit : This is what I can find in syslog after trying to connect using kppp If you insist on using kppp you will have to edit /etc/ppp/options and change 'auth' to 'noauth' (I think that will do it: I don't use kppp and don't like it). Ok, it works - but isn't there a better solution? File /etc/ppp/options says: Please do not disable this setting. ... Use the call option to disable authentication for specific peers. I'd still like to know what you mean by I already used pppconfig, Well, I just used pppconfig to configure pppd. and what happens when you try 'pon'. I didn't try yet. this what I get _everytime_ when I run 'apt-get install [somepackage]' since I installed KDE packages one by one using dpkg: What happens when you try `apt-get -f install', as apt-get suggested? This is what apt-get says in such a case : Reading Package Lists... Building Dependency Tree... Correcting dependencies... Done The following extra packages will be installed: libmimelib1 libminimagick5 librpm1 The following packages will be REMOVED: amor ark arts eyesapplet kdebase kdebase-crypto kdebase-dev kdebase-libs kdelibs-dev kdelibs3 kdemultimedia-dev kdf kdm kedit kfind kmahjongg konqueror konsole kppp kscd ktux kuser kview libkmid-alsa libkonq3 task-kde The following NEW packages will be installed: libmimelib1 libminimagick5 librpm1 0 packages upgraded, 3 newly installed, 26 to remove and 0 not upgraded. 5 packages not fully installed or removed. Need to get 0B/418kB of archives. After unpacking 69.6MB will be freed. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] Abort. Of course my answer is 'n'. I answered 'Y' once and apt-get actually REMOVED all my KDE packages and I and to reinstall them once again using dpkg -i [name_of_the_package] But the main problem seems to be with package libssl0.9.6. To install KDE libraries I had to specify option --ignore-depends=libssl096. Since then I have downloaded libssl0.9.6 but it depends on libc6 (=2.2.2-2) and my version of libc6 is 2.1.3. Can I upgrade ? BTW I believe that you said you were installing from CD's? What version of Debian? potato 2.2 r0 with KDE 2.1.1 Thanks
Re: connecting to internet
I am a newbie and have just installed Debian. I need to connect to a website to download an upgrade to xfree86. I put the url in my sources list, but when I try apt-update, the response I get is that the website doesn't exist. Welcome to Debian Steve. First, ignore me if I'm talking down to you, but I don't know how much of a newbie you are. The /etc/apt/sources.list file doesn't take a web site per se, it takes a formatted string such as: deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian slink main contrib non-free The above would connect via HTTP protocol to the us.debian.org site and grab the updates for slink (the current stable release). For that to work with the unstable release, change the slink to unstable or to potato. Once you edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file, make sure you do an Update to grab the new databases. If you want to make sure you're getting the very latest slink updates you can also include a line of: deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian dists/slink-proposed-updates/ but the above may include some packages that aren't considered 100% stable. -- Regards, | SAT practice quiz: Microsoft is to software as is ... .|Answer: McDonalds is to gourmet cooking.

I put the url in my sources list, but when I try apt-update, the response I get is that the website doesn't exist. I have checked it and it exists. My ppp connection to my isp is working ok. but I can't get to the website. Lynx doesn't connect to anything although I have put a url in lynx.cfg. I have tried ncftp, but no hosts are recognized although I use them in with other distributions. Any recommendations? I am using Debian Gnu/linux that is publish by Oreilly. System is asus p5a mo-board, amd k6-2 400 cpu, 128 mb ram. debian shares a drive with win98. steve w I would have tried to use /usr/share/doc/apt/examples/sources.list because your problem might be with the entries you put in /etc/apt/sources.list.
Re: connecting to internet
I might have missed something earlier in this thread, but this really looks like a DNS problem to me. Is the nameserver line right in /etc/resolv.conf? Try specifying a known good IP address on the lynx command line: $ lynx http://209.81.8.242/ That's the IP address my machine returned for www.debian.org. If you can connect, then your problem is almost certainly DNS.

I haven't set up a PPP connection in ages, so I really don't remember what needs to be running for PPP. You might want to try: ps aux | grep pppd to see if the daemon is running when you start your session. Can you ping other sites? Try ping the Debian home page like so: ping www.debian.org you should get some output that looks like this: PING www.debian.org (209.81.8.242): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 209.81.8.242: icmp_seq=0 ttl=55 time=51.5 ms 64 bytes from 209.81.8.242: icmp_seq=1 ttl=55 time=171.9 ms and on and on. Hit ctrl-c to stop it. If you don't and you do have your connection up, try pinging the IP address like so: ping 209.81.8.242 Again, you should see similar output. If this works then you probably need to add the IP addresses of you DNSs to your /etc/resolv.conf file. If it turns out you haven't configured ppp correctly, I'd search through the archives on ppp for a quicker start. Just a couple of pointers. You might want to set your mail client to wrap outgoing messages to a line length around 70 characters. It makes it easier to read. Also, try to post portions of relevant config files to help others help you better. Doing so lets us see what you've done to figure it out, and to see if you made a typo or something.
