diald problem

Howdy, On my system at fairly regular intervals (every couple of days) diald dies without reason. When that happens the routing table shows no sign of sl0. The pid file is left in place (which suggests that diald didn't exit cleanly). No traces are left in any of the logs. Has anybody else expe

UPS questions

Is anybody using a UPS with debian who would care to email how they are faring? Is APC a good UPS to buy? Do I need a special cable? And how should I go about sizing the UPS (I mean, do I need a 200W UPS if the power supply of my box is 200W)? Thanks, Giuseppe -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAIL

[CMOS clock set to stardate :)] Could it be that the new debian box has a different version of clock? A while back I upgraded mine (from the one in the stable tree to the one in the unstable tree --- sorry I forget the exact version) and my clock started acting up (one day we were in the 21st ce

Hi, I'm the diald maintainer. That doesn't mean I can give you any useful advice :-) Sorry I didn't reply to you last message, but I'm not particularly skilled in networking (I maintain diald only because when I installed Debian the first time diald was not part of the distribution) and I was ho

When I compile the kernel, I now get the enclosed error message. Is anybody else getting this? What can it be due to? (ip_forward.o exists, although I don't have IP_FORWARDING set in the configuration). Thanks, Giuseppe make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.6/arch/i386/lib' l

I have a two PC network. One box is connected to the ISP via diald/ppp. The second box talks to the first one through an ethernet. I left the diald setup on the box with the modem unchanged. Having recompiled the kernel, I execute the script below (my internal lan is 192.168.1, the ethernet card

There have been a few buggy LaTeX packages around. I had the same problem. I found that by explicitly defining the variables below everything would work ok. I understand this shouldn't be necessary, but for some reason kpathsea doesn't do its job right on my system (by the way, you could try and s

Hi, I seem to have a problem with exmh (or X). When I start exmh I get a string of BGRegister insecure server (must run old style xauth). Command ignored. I think I understand what is happening: my X server is not generating the ~/.Xauthority file needed to run secure and exmh complains. But I h
