GIMP 0.99.31

[Jules Bean]

Hullo everyone,

Che seems to be absent so I've compiled up Gimp 0.99.31.  It required zero
work (although a lot of CPU time) since Che hasn't done any patching, so I
just copied the debian directory and built.

I don't plan to make an NMU since, AFAICS there's nothing very special
about .31.  Anyone who needs it is most welcome to contact me by email
though.

Re: System.map

[Alan Eugene Davis]

I accidentally ran across this one when compiling the kernel:

make install

This isn't documented, AFAIK.  It installs the system map, and offers to run 
lilo or make a disk.  Why isn't this documented?

Did anyone anwer the question "what is the system map for?"  I'd also like to 
know the answer to this question.

My .pinerc has:

inbox-path=#MHINBOX

I save my mail in a two-level-deep hierarchy.  In order to get pine to
show all my folders, I had to list all the top-level (parent) folders
explicitly:

#MH/DEBIAN/[],
#MH/LANG_JAVA/[],
#MH/LANG_PERL/[],
#MH/LANG_PYTHON/[],

Does anybody know about a mailreader called Mona?  I think I saw an
announcement for it in comp.os.linux.announce a while ago, but I've never
been able to find the program.  It's supposed to be a rewrite of Pine
which supports colorization.

Just wanted to add to that - xfstt works great fo rmaking netscape
look good :)
unfortunatly xfstt has no fonts with it...so you will need to find
some true type fonts. Personally I used to use Win95 and I still have
a licence for Win95 (even though I don't use it) so I just grabbed the M$
Truetype fonts from windows.
Unfortunatly these are "Part of the Operating system" (least as far as I read
the "Micro$oft EULA" they are)

BTW if anyone knows of any really free TrueType fonts please let me know
I would love to put together a little something so that xfstt can
work "out of the box" (al I would really need for that would be 1 font 
actually)

As it stands with the latest version, it installs, and it adds scripts et al
to start and stop through init (ie it starts on boot now) but, if there are no
fonts, it is all for naught - it will fail to run at startup et al because
it has no fonts

but anyway...once it has fonts...Netscape looks GREAT!

Certain commands, like klog, ps, and lsof, use the System.map

Re: System.map

[Manoj Srivastava]

Hi,

Firstly, get a newer kernel-package package, if at all
 possible. The newer kernel-package no longer tries to put vmlinux on
 /boot (there used to be a reason, but that is no longer usefule for
 post 2.0 kernels).

vmlinux is produced in the normal process of building a kernel
 from source. For most people, using vmlinuz ids the right thing to
 do. make-kpkg is already aware of architectures which can't handle a
 bzImage, and automatically compiles the right image type. 

I am including a list of reasons why one may wish to use a
 (newish) kernel-package. 

manoj

__

Advantages of using make-kpkg
-- -- - -

I have been asked several times about the advantages of using
 the kernel-package package over the traditional Linux way of hand
 compiling kernels, and I have come up with this list. This is off the
 top of my head, I'm sure to have missed points yet. Any additions
 welcomed.

 i) Convenience. I used to compile kernels manually, and it
involved a series of steps to be taken in order;
kernel-package was written to take all the required steps (it
has grown beyond that now, but essentially, that is what it
does). This is especially important to novices: make-kpkg
takes all the steps required to compile a kernel, and
installation of kernels is a snap.
ii) It allows you to keep multiple version of kernel images on
your machine with no fuss.
   iii) It has a facility for you to keep multiple flavours of the
same kernel version on your machine (you could have a stable
2.0.33 version, and a 2.0.33 version patched with the latest
drivers, and not worry about contaminating the modules in
/lib/modules)
iv) It knows that some architectures do not have vmlinuz (using
vmlinux instead), and other use zImage rather than bzImage,
and calls the appropriate target, and takes care of moving the
correct file into place.
 v) Several other kernel module packages are hooked into
kernel-package, so one can seamlessly compile, say, pcmcia
modules at the same time as one compiles a kernel, and be
assured that the modules so compiled are compatible.
vi) It enables you to use the package management system to keep
track of the kernels created. Using make-kpkg creates a .deb
file, and dpkg can track it for you. This facilitates the task
of other packages that depend on the kernel packages.
   vii) It keeps track of the configuration file for each kernel image
in /boot, which is part of the image package, and hence is
the kernel image and the configuration file are always
together.
  viii) It allows to create a package with the headers, or the
sources, also as a deb file, and enables the package
management system to keep track of those (and there are
packages that depend on the package management system being
aware of these packages)
ix) Since the kernel image package is a full fledged Debian
package, it comes with maintainer scripts, which take care of
details like offering to make a boot disk, manipulating
symbolic links in / so that you can make boot loader scripts
static (just refer to the symbolic links, rather than the real
image files; the names of the symbolic links do not change,
but the kernel image file names change with the version)
 x) There is support for the multitudinous sub architectures that
have blossomed under the umbrella of the m68k architecture.
xi) There is support there for optionally applying patches to the
kernel provided as a kernel-patch .deb file, and building a
patched kernel auto-magically, and still retain an UN-patched
kernel source tree


   Disadvantages of using make-kpkg
   - -- - -

  i) This is a cookie cutter approach to compiling kernels, and
 there are people who like being close to the bare metal.
 ii) This is not how it is done in the non-Debian world. This
 flouts tradition. (It has been pointed out, though, that this
 is fast becoming Debian tradition)
iii) It forces you to use fakeroot or sudo or super or be root to
 create a kernel image .deb file (this is not as bad as it
 used to be before fakeroot)

X-Windows and PPPD

Since I installed X , I can't get PPPD to work :-(

Starting X kills my net connection, and trying to dial with/after
loading X results in the modem not even dialing the phone number (1
light comes on, but the process freezes there).

Now my mouse runs of ttyS0 , and the modem off ttyS3 , and I can only
think that there is some sort of conflict between these to devices.

Whats the best way to hunt down/resolve this problem?

we have a computer which is a server and is running squid,
apache,
sendmail it is a slave (for DNS and proxy) of another server.

the others computers under win95 are connected to this one to go
on the
internet.



The problem is that we cannot make "post request" on the web (like in
yahoo or altavista ...) but it's possible on the local domain.  We think
the problem is
coming from the proxy ...filters or something like that...
Can u help us ???

Look folks:

This is not primarily a debian.org problem. If you post to the list and you get
a "delivery failure notice" from somewhere else, it is because the destination
site has mailed the error message back to you, as sender of the message which
failed to get delivered.

The debian-user list-admins should (but may not necessarily) also get copies of
the failure notice -- it depends on how the destination site is configured.

In due course, list-admins should remove subscribers with persistent delivery
problems. However, this should not be done immediately because the problem may
only be temporary. Delivery problems are a fact of life, and at any time there
are almost certain to be some subscribers to a mailing list with delivery
problems, so people who post will get these messages. You just have to live
with it.

Best wishes,
Ted.

Well, that's fine and dandy.  It has been over three days now, confirmed
by at least 4 people on the list.  I think that is enough to call it
something other than "temporary" in just about anyone's book.

Took me almost three days to speak up about it.  It is the same user,
time to remove that person, plain and simple.  Enough is enough.

DDS2 - TAPE - BACKUP

[Leonardo Ruoso]

How do I might do backups with an IBM SCSI DDS2 TAPE?
How do I setup HardWare Compression?
What's is better than tar to do backups?
What are the recomendations?

I'm doing backup from ncpfs to an IDE HD and to DDS2 tapes! The tapes
are SONY DDS2 DGD120m

I'm doing in this way: "tar -zcv /dev/st0 ." Is this correct?

How can I find docs about backup procedures?

thanks a lot

Perhaps the listmasters are not aware of the problem. Did you notify
them? No?

I cannot really see how this is a huge problem -- certainly not one
worthy of so much discussion I should think. I get them too and just delete
them without a thought wasted.

Are you sure that ppp is working? Try from your linux box with the remote

Verify that there is no default route like 0.0.0.0 and let ppp with

Corey,

While it appears from your post everything is correct, please confirm
that the modem and mouse are using different IRQs.  ttyS0/ttyS2 and
ttyS1/ttyS3 share IRQs.  Since you only have this problem with X (which
activates the mouse) you probably have IRQ contention somewhere.

Try installing GPM so you can use the mouse in a virtual terminal.  If
the problem reproduces itself there as well, you will have confirmed the
IRQ contention.

Hope that helps,

mystery tape drive

[Will Lowe]

I've got an internal colorado tape drive with a big "250 MG" label
embossed on the outside that came in an old 486 I bought secondhand from

tapes I've been provided for it are labelled "DC 2120 Mini Data Cartridge

Thanks for the tip.  My /etc/X11/config files ihas the following two
lines in it...

xdm-start-server
start-xdm

My guess is that the problem is in a system init file somewhere.  Any
idea what file calls the xdm stuff at boot time?

For the Mystique 220 card, you really need a more recent Xfree86 than
comes with Debian 1.3.1 (aka bo) - you have two choices:
1) upgrade to hamm (aka what will be Debian 2.0)
2) Install the XFree86 3.3.1 binaries yourself

I think method 1) is preferrable, but you can find (by searching the
mailing list archives for "mystique" from February) a description of
how to do 2) as well.

If you decide to do 1), be certain to look at
http://www.gate.net/~storm/FAQ/libc5-libc6-Mini-HOWTO.html first.

There's also a script that will do most of the upgrade for you somewhere -
I think it's in the Developer's corner section of the debian web site.

Install it on the command line using dpkg, e.g.:

dpkg -i /cdrom/stable/binary-i386/base/util-linux*deb

That should work.

Most probably the ide-tape driver included in the kernel. It should most
probably sit on the second IDE controller, the one with ATAPI support.

The one included in the stable kernel (2.0.33 in my case) seems to be a
bit outdated, but the one in the unstable (2.1.103) is more recent (2 Jan
1998), and can be compiled as a module. 

I've ordered an Seagate Tapestor 8000 myself, sitting on the ATAPI
interface, and I'll go get it later tonight. I'll try to install it :) It
should come up as a /dev/ht0 and then I'll just write to it with tar.

It could also be a QIC-117 compliant drive, but that's if it sits on the
floppy controller. In that case you'd have to use the ftape driver, also
included in the kernel.

Good luck !

Re: DDS2 - TAPE - BACKUP

I don't know extremely much about SCSI tapes, but I hope this will help..

Do you know about the mt command ? "Magnetic Tape" It's used to control
the tape, rewind it and such.. I think it can switch on hardware
compression no some SCSI tapes.

Go read some documentation about the ftape driver too, it's used for tape
drives attached to the floppydrive port, but it has some general backup
information too.

> What's is better than tar to do backups?

Well.. I think tar can do the job, but there are also cpio.

"It sits on the normal IDE controller like a hard disk" -- Check (= carefully
trace!) the cable connector between the tape drive and the IDE controller card.
It's possible it may in fact be connected to a floppy port, in which case I'd
suggest giving ftape and mt-st a try.

(The DC2120 Minis are the cartridges that worked with the original Colorado
Jumbo 250 which has a "250" above "MB" label embossed on it, in white on a
beige background, bottom left-hand corner as you look at the fron panel; it
seems quite possible you have the same. This drive *definitely* works off the
floppy connector and in fact comes with a special cable which enables the tape
drive and a floppy drive to share the same port on the card. The ftape/mt-st
drivers work very well with the Colorado Jumbo 250.)

One thing to note: unless ftape has moved on, you won't get compression when
saving to the tape, so you would only get about 120MB onto the tape.

Another thing: again unless ftape has moved on, you won't be able to format the
tape on Linux. DC2120s come preformatted in QIC-80 format, and this seems fine,
but if a tape gets corrupt it might need re-formatting before it can be used
again. In that case, unless you have access to the Colorado DOS software you'll
end up having to buy a new tape.

By the way: I'd suggest sticking to standard-length DC2120 tapes (120MB), and
not use the extra-length DC2120 XL (170MB). I have never persuaded the latter
to work, but have never had trouble with the former (at any rate those
manufactured by 3M).

Best of luck,
Ted.

Xwindows not working

[Keith Alen Vance]

I have recently been screwing up my system and I am about ready to trash
the whole thing and start over from scratch. I purchased a new video card
Mystique 220 and I am trying to get it work with Xfree86 and AfterStep. I
downloaded the files for Xfree86 3.3.1 and installed them and then setup
afterstep 1.4. The problem is that if I do a startx if returns an error
that it can't find afterstep.So if I go in to the .xinitrc file and
comment the afterstep line out xwindows starts and then shuts down
without any error messages. What I am saying is that it starts and then
automatically shutdown right away. I really screwed things up when I was
extracting the xfree86 files. I extracted them in the wrong directory at
least once. So my hard drive is almost full. Is there a way I can delete
Files by date. I would really like to totally back out of everything that
I have done today and start over with a fresh kernel and the bare
necessities. I am reluctant to just wipe my drive because I installed
Linux via ftp and that takes awhile. Any suggestions would be great.

> How do I might do backups with an IBM SCSI DDS2 TAPE?

Well, using tar, cpio, or one of the many other backup programs.  Use
the device /dev/nst0 (I made a symlink named /dev/tape pointing to
this file) for accessing the tape.

> How do I setup HardWare Compression?

After installing the dds2tar package you can use the mt-dds command.
Its usage is explained in the manual page.  The mt program (from the
cpio package) seems to have the action datacompression too.

The dds2tar package features a program that use an index file created
with tar and the --record-file and -R options to directly access each
file using the fast dds seek operation.

> What's is better than tar to do backups?

I use the afbackup suite (being in non-free) for regular backup.
Every 1.5-2 month I add a backup using tar for archiving (I do know
that tapes are not suitable for archiving data).

> What are the recomendations?

> I'm doing in this way: "tar -zcv /dev/st0 ." Is this correct?

I suggest using the -z option.  DDS2 supports hardware compression and
-z will compress the whole archive at once.  A single error not
covered by the tapes error correction and the following data will be
corrupted.  Without this options (and using hardware compression)
changes are high that tar will resynchronise at the next file.

BTW: nst0 is the non-rewinding version of st0, after doing a backup on
st0 the tape will be automatically rewinded.

Make sure you have "allow-user-xsession" in /etc/X11/config, then create
the file .xsession in your homedir. It should be something like:

xfig not exporting

[Johann Spies]

Hallo,

When I try to export something from xfig I get the message:

Error during EXPORT (check standard error output)

How do I check "standard error output" to determine what is wrong?

ftape has indeed 'moved on' (been improved).  If ftape is what you need,
get ftape v3.04d.  It now includes compression, and the ability to format
cartridges.

Attempting to install on Dell 433/M

[Oliver Elphick]

I'm attempting to install the 2.0.6 disk image on a Dell 433/M (486 processor).
This machine appears to have VGA video integrated on the motherboard. It has
a mono monitor.

The machine has an Adaptec 1510 or 1520 SCSI card and one SCSI disk.

I have tested the boot disk on another machine, and I have read it on this
machine (which currently has SCO Unix on it), so I know that this disk is OK.

It displays 'Loading root.bin...' and then blanks the screen (which does not
happen on the other, non-Dell machine on which I tested this disk.)

The floppy continues to be read for a while; I think that it is probably
getting as far as the first screen of the installation, but the screen
continues blank. I have tried entering `M' and `C' at this point, but 
without success.

Has anyone any suggestions on how to get round this, please?  Are there any
boot options I can include to change the behaviour of the machine?

Apache 1.3b Virtual Hosts

[Asher Haig]

I'm having a problem where Apache 1.3b's Virtual Hosts aren't working. 
I'm fairly sure that it's something in the vhost changes since 1.2.5, but 
I'm not sure what. I've read all the documentation and have been trying 
to set it up, but it still fails to work. Everything goes ot the first 
vhost entry. 

Here's an example of the vhost config:

Well, I have successfully installed Red Hat 4.2/slackware 3.x/Debian
1.3/2.0 on two Dell computers.. so my best guess would be that that is not
the problem. The only thing I could possibly think of being the problem is
some kind of problem when you created the disks. Sometimes people have to
create disks 2 or 3 times before they work. You might want to try and
download the images again and create the disks _ON NEW FLOPPIES_ again.
Maybe even do this another time if it still doesnt work. Usually this
solves the boot disk problem for most people. good luck..

system does not recognize 64 MB RAM

[Thomas Apel]

I know this is not a debian problem but maybe someone has an idea:

Today I replaced the 32 MB SDRAM chip in my computer with a 64 MB SDRAM
chip but the system - starting with the BIOS! - only recognizes 32 MB.

I tried all of the three DIMM banks, had a look at the BIOS options but
all without success. I also checked for BIOS updates that might be known
to fix this but nothing.

The board is an Elitegroup P5TX-A with Intel TX chipset. The 64 MB RAM
chip works well in another computer.

Any ideas how to get things working?

TIA,
Thomas

I burned hamm on NT and now all the files end with ~1.

[Liran Zvibel]

Hello!

I downloaded hamm at work and burned it on CD.
When I can home, and mounted the CD-ROM drive as iso9660, all the files
that are longer than 8 characters, ends with ~1.
I tried mounting the drive again as vfat (with or without -o loop) but it
said that it was not a block device.

Is there a way to use this CD? (It seemed okay on the NT station, so it is
a "problem" on the Linux end.)

Thanks a lot!!!

It seems it's not compiled in (found out by checking the .config file;
if it was the right file I found). Can this be verified in some other
way? Like "cat /proc/net/something"?

Well, unfortunately extracting files usually gives the newly extracted
files their old date, rather than the current one.  However, what you
might do is find out where the files went - you can do this with:
find / -name 'XF86*'

You can find out what a specific tar file extracts to with:
tar tf whatever.tar
or
tar tzf whatever.tar.gz

Then, go to the directory where you were when you did the incorrect
extraction and try something like:
tar tzf whatever.tar.gz | xargs rm -i

(you may have to be in the directory above where you did the
extraction, depending on how the tar file is built)

You probably burned it as a Joliet filesystem... not supported under 2.0.x
kernels

To burn it for use under Linux, you have to burn it as iso9660 with
RockRidge Extensions  However, I don't know of any software on Win95/NT
that supports that.  (Adaptec CD Creator Deluxe does not.)

Later,
Kevin

I assume you are using hamm.  Imake is in the xlib6g-dev package, 
as for c/c++ headers, they are in libc6-dev (for c) and libg++272-dev (for
c++).  I'm not sure about this last one, so someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Upgrade select packages

[Oz Dror]

Is it possible to use dselect to
upgrade some packages. Not everything.

So far I have done only partial upgrade from bo ( over the last 6 months)
I am worried that if I'll upgrade everything now, many things will not work.

Is there a way to upgrade only a few packages at a time ( I mean upgrade
recursively, so that If something is dependent on something else, it will
also be upgraded.

Is there a way to upgrade interactively. Being prompt for OK before
each package is actually upgraded.

In deselect go into "select". Put everything on "hold". Pressing = on the
first two lines should be sufficient. The packages should be marked with = 
now.

Then go back and select "update" and then "select" from the menu. You can
then select the packages you want to upgrade. You will still get the
dependency check screens.

Martin
