[SLUG] debian newbie can't start X
I've just installed Debian Sparc 3.0r1 on my Sun Ultra 10 clone. I used tasksel to select desktop machine with development. startx gives me; xauth: creating new authority file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xserverrc: /usr/bin/X11/X: no such file or directory startkde gives; xsetroot: unable to opendisplay'' ksplash: cannot connect to X server connect() failed: : no such file or directory So obviously, it hasn't installed something correctly, but what's the apt-get install magic to rectify the situation. I've got a 3 cd set, but the install only used the first one. Amanda -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

[SLUG] Server 'up'; but 'down' from external viewers...
Eerrkk... experiencing some problems here with our server :( We had a crash of some sort on the weekend, whereby 2 of our 4 machines in one rack 'turned off' and the switch just stopped working (all lights were on). I pulled the power on the switch restarted it, and it's working fine now, and restarted the other two machines... The main machine is the main server, and acts as a basic router, sending log in requests from our ISP to our RADIUS server (one of the machines that was still on working). Henceforth, since the main one was down, no-one could log in to our internet connection. After re-starting the main server, we could log in again and everything seemed to be fine dandy. Our main machine has two major websites stored on it. One is our ISPs, the other is the main website for the other business the boss runs. The ISP website is working fine. The Main website is not. Is this an httpd.conf error? maybe it started up wrong? (or an apache)... how can I restart those? I think it's something like 'apachelt restart now'that we use instead of httpd restart... where should I execute this?

Re: [SLUG] normal newbie question
When asking for help it would be wise to 1. Tell us what you have for internet connection modem/dsl/isdn/etc, also ISP helps. 2. give up more of a description about your problem. We can't help you if we don't know what you are talking about. The problems you have given us there are a couple of solutions and only 1 right one. My advice if you can be as verbose as you can, maybe then we could help. 1. Can no long go internet or kmail receive unknown host errors occur .(is there a restore defaults mode). It doesn't allow my changes in security for no firewall to take affect. Your firewall is using IPchains or IPtables? 2. When trying to instal wine or gaim - I have a lot of files what and how do I compile and execute, I downloaded latest version of Gaim and so had a lot of files but don't know what to do with them. how did you download wine and gaim, what file format where they rpm or tar.gz? if you have downloaded tar.gz then you make have to compile them.

From memory, If your RAM is 128meg or less, it should be double. Anymore then that, the swap should ideally be the same size as the RAM. This also depends on what the load the machine is using, If you run out of memory and swap, you would need to create more swap, or RAM, depending on your funds. You don't have to re-adjust the swap filesystem, you can just add another one. you can even create it on another hard drive if needed.

Not 100% sure about this one, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's trying to use the fixed font (which is the default font when all else fails), which is most likely aliased to a core font that you don't have installed. If that's the case, you can probably go futzing with, for example, /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.alias to set fixed up as an alias to something you do actually have on your machine. Or once again, make sure you've got some base font packages installed. :-) You're using debian, right? You should make sure xfonts-base is installed, and one of either xfonts-75dpi or xfonts-100dpi. They're the minimal set of fonts the XFree86 guys suggest for a basic X setup. Install them, run xset fp rehash or restart your X session. Of course, if they are installed, then you've got bigger problems that I'd rather not think about unless they're actually happening. :-) -- Pete -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
[SLUG] Re: Font problem
Checking the X font server's configuration file in /etc/X11/xfs/config I find I have no 'xfs' directory there. However, 'find' tells me I have ./home/share/doc/xfs ./usr/share/doc/xfs ./usr/X11R6/bin/xfs ./etc/init.d/xfs Could it just be a matter of /usr/X11R6/bin:~$ cp xfs /etc/X11 ?

[SLUG] linux e-mail virus scanners
Hi, I was asked by a client to install a e-mail virus scanner on to their server that I previously installed fro them. The mail server runs postfix and then exports mail via courier IMAP for windows clients in the office. I've never dealt with linux based e-mail virus scanners and was wondering if any of them out there where worth a recommendation and if anyone has had good or bad experiences with any products. Thanks for your time in advance. --alex -- [--] Alex Sayle [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

Re: [SLUG] two intractable problems
On the Toshiba Tecra 780 laptop, I can't get sound with any modern distro. Not Debian, not Redhat 9, not SuSE 8.2.

OK then, I'm still guessing it's something boonky with your font loading. The list of available fonts is returned by xlsfonts. Could you try grepping that for helvetica and fixed, to make sure I'm right? :-) Also, what do the FontPath entries look like in the Files section of your XF86Config?

[SLUG] two intractable problems
Apologies for cross-posting. I'm trying to get my Dad's machines set up so I can leave the US and return Down Under, and I'm tearing my hair out with some problems I'm running into. I bought both the machines involved, and have run Linux on them successfully for a while, and so has he. We want gnomemeeting on them, so we can keep in touch. Windows and Netmeeting has worked just fine quite a while, but I can't get Linux set up. On the Toshiba Tecra 780 laptop, I can't get sound with any modern distro. Not Debian, not Redhat 9, not SuSE 8.2. SuSE 7.3 does it, but then no Gnome 2 and no gnomemeeting. I had a look at the modules loaded in SuSE 7.3/alsa 0.5, and I've built alsa 0.9 and alsa 0.5 in Debian but no joy. The alsa configuration program in debconf builds the configuration, but it doesn't then work. It's a Tecra 780 with a Yamaha OPL3-SA2 sound card - does anyone know how to make one of those work? The other problem is much weirder. The desktop machine kills the cable modem connection when it's powered up. Even when there's no ethernet cable connecting it to the modem. Didn't used to. It's worked for almost 2 years on that setup, and now it's killing it. Windows or Linux. Pulling the machine into another room and powering it up there seems not to kill the modem, so power is all I can think of, but that's ridiculously inconvenient in his house - the cable goes into the computer room. Has anyone seen such behavior? Lesser problems with the desktop involve the BestData VC-100 bttv video camera not working with Debian Woody (drivers lock up), but if we can't put it on the net, that doesn't matter a lot. I'd hate to have to leave him with Windows only, and me having to boot Windows to contact him. He'd rather use Linux, and I'm sure I do too. A shot in the dark, but I don't have a lot of hair left at this point. Anyone seen either of these problems?
