Strange eth0 and eth1 dmesg
Hi all, some machines are just plain unco-operative. After getting a custom aic7870 rescu and drivers disks, I got installed and then faced this set of messages on boot. My apologies if it seems long but I am assuming that the root of this oproblem lies with the scsi setup. the cards claim to work but the command route add -net just causes the shell to hang until Ctrl C is pressed. eth0 can be ping itself but nothing else can ping it. eth1 cannot be ping because I can't set up a route. All help appreciated.

no such device as /dev/lpt1
Hi all! When I first set up my Debian box, and whenever I've recompiled/upgraded/etc, I've left the support for parallel ports out, because I didn't have a printer. Now I have a printer. I turned on the parallel port in CMOS (standard irq/io settings). I recompiled my kernel (using "make menuconfig"), and set the following: Under "Loadable Module Support", I set *'d "Enable loadable module support" and "Kernel module loader". Under "General Setup, I M'd "Parallel Port support" and "PC-Style hardware". Under "Plug and Play Support", I left the "Plug and Play" support blank (I only have PCI devices). Under "Block Devices", I only saw one reference to the parallel port, and it referred to IDE support, which didn't sound like anything I needed, so I left it blank. Under "Network Device Support", I left "PLIP..." blank, as I don't believe I need it. Under "Character Devices", I M'd "Parallel Printer Support" and *'d "Support IEEE1284 status readback". I then did a "make dep", then a "make clean", then a "make bzImage", then "make modules", then "make modules_install", then I copied the bzImage to /boot. Since the new kernel image is named the same as the old kernel image, I may not have re-run LILO. Did I need to? I've got my printcap pointing to /dev/lp0. This is one question I have; it seems that when I started with Linux, /dev/lp0 referred to what would be lpt1 in the DOS/Windows world, but that it has changed since then so that /dev/lp1 refers to DOS's lpt1. True or not? (BTW, my kernel is 2.2.14, and my system is mostly (entirely maybe?) a potato system.) On reboot, when I try to print something to the printer (I believe my printcap is set up properly) using "lp Notes" (Notes is a plain text file), and then do an "lpq", I get: Printer: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 'HP LaserJet III' Queue: 1 printable job Server: pid 2026 active Unspooler: pid 2033 active Status: cannot open '/dev/lp0' - 'No such device', attempt 2, sleeping 20 at 18:17:36.195 Rank Owner/ID Class Job Files Size Time active(attempt-2) [EMAIL PROTECTED] A25 Notes 9619 18:16:55 When I do an "lsmod", I get Module Size Used by vmnet 16160 2 vmmon 17664 1 es1371 22656 0 (unused) soundcore 2340 4 [es1371] 3c59x 18304 1 smbfs 25360 0 (unused) When I do a "ls -l /dev/lp*", I get: crw-rw1 root lp 6, 0 Mar 3 1999 /dev/lp0 crw-rw1 root lp 6, 1 Mar 3 1999 /dev/lp1 crw-rw1 root lp 6, 2 Mar 3 1999 /dev/lp2 When I do a "cat /proc/devices", I get: Character devices: 1 mem 2 pty 3 ttyp 4 ttyS 5 cua 7 vcs 10 misc 14 sound 119 vmnet 128 ptm 136 pts Block devices: 2 fd 3 ide0 22 ide1 (What's "vcs" on # 7?

Re: Debian install cannot find ATA 66 hard drive
Yes & no, it may depend on the chipset of your mb. My athlon system has the AMD chipset with onchip support ( not a card), debian (aka Corel Linux K=2.2.12) installs from cd no problem, it may or may not perform at the ata 66 spec, but that is another issue. Kernel ver 2.4 will have generic ata 66 support.

Can a machine with a private class B IP (172.17.120.5) establish a ssh connection with a machine with legal IP ?
I use a proxy server to connect to the Internet since I have a private class B IP (172.17.120.5) and am behind a firewall and that way the net I am on is configured. I have to use socks for passive ftp and telneting. Recently the admin of www.linux.org.il, which is not found on the private net I am connected to and does have a full Internet IP (192.116.202.69) has suggested that the 2 machines will be connected with ssh. However when I tried to connect I get: [09:29:03 /tmp]$ socksify ssh -v www.linux.org.il SSH Version OpenSSH-1.2.2, protocol version 1.5. Compiled with SSL. debug: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug: Applying options for * debug: ssh_connect: getuid 1000 geteuid 0 anon 0 debug: Connecting to www.linux.org.il [192.116.202.69] port 22. debug: Allocated local port 643. And that is it. It keeps waiting and I had to ^C it. The admin of the other machine says he can see in his logs attempts from my IP (172.17.120.5) at the times I claim I have tried to establish the ssh connection. He also says that contrary to his first suggestion, he now believes that we can not get connected with ssh because I do not have an Internet IP. 1) Are there ways for the 2 machines to get a ssh connection? Perhaps the configuration of the other machine is not appropriate for the situation I have described? Maybe a VPN or something similar will work? 2) Beside a full Internet IP are there things I could ask from the net admin of the private network I am on in order to get this ssh connection to work? I believe that it is worth mentioning that I can successfully socksify telnet and successfully socksify passive ftp to the machine I want to establish the ssh connection with (www.linux.org.il). -- Shaul Karl [EMAIL PROTECTED] An elephant is a mouse with an operating system.

Is color printing an option?
Hi All, I ran magicfilterconfig and set up my local printer on lp0. The closest thing to my hp560c was an hp530c driver. It prints ok, but only in black/white. Is there a way I can have linux print using colors too, or is this restricted to using one of my windows boxes? Set up is linux 2.2.14 slink. 3 windows boxes behind my linux box. hp560c is the printer, and also serves the network. When I print a color doc on the windoz boxes, it prints in color now, only linux prints in b/w. tnx much. -- Jaye:-} M.J.

That helps clear up a couple of things.

Re: Can a machine with a private class B IP (172.17.120.5) establish a ssh connection with a machine with legal IP ?
Hello Well... I'm not quite an expert about this, but I'd say you either need NAT (network address translation) enabled on your firewalling machine, so your address is masqueraded to the outside. Ssh connects from your machine to the outside would work fine then, but nobody from outside could connect to you... or you might consider setting up an http tunnel through your proxy, although I ain't got no idea how this would work. I'd expect you'd also need the remote system to set up facilities to use this method, but don't ask me... I've never done it.

Unresolved symbol errors with custom kernel... .
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'm wondering, why modules_install does not do that automatically?)

Can somebody help me? > the problem is: smtp has NO password at all (AFAIK). the point is, you have to do "POP before SMTP" to authorize yourself, which netscape does normally. when using an mta (e.g. sendmail) you have to do a "fetchmail" before sending any e-mail. on one box i configured i simply put a "fetchmail" in the ppp-up script, that is, fetchmail is called directly after dialing in. a problem arises, if you stay on-line that long, that your authorization times out - then you would have to "fetchmail" before sending e-mail again. but i thing it is a good idea to run fetchmail as a daemon as long as you are on-line, so it checks for mail and holds your smpt-authorization open every, say 10, minutes. in short: put a "fetchmail -d 600" in your /etc/ppp/ppp-up put a "fetchmail --quit" in your /etc/ppp/ppp-down (i'm not sure if the files are in /etc/ppp/ on debian, as i set up a suse box.) > P.S.

I did a search on google and found a report of this with a suggestion from Alan Cox that replacing the ne2k-pci modules with ne.o and setting the options to match those of the card in the bios. I forgot to mention that the person who I am doing this server for bought the kit from his brother who works at NCR. Every possible setting is hard coded into the bios.

Re: How to make SCSI only bootup
The "2FA:" prompt is generated by mbr... it looks like it doesn't know which partition to boot (you haven't gotten far enough to require the SCSI drivers yet). Just as a guess, I'd say that you didn't flag the relevant partition as "active" when you partitioned the disk. Try pressing "2" when you see the prompt... that tells mbr that you want to boot off of the second primary partition (that's what the "2" in "2FA:" is referring to), which should get you past this issue. Assuming this works, don't forget to go back into fdisk and mark the partition active. Good luck.

Re: Midnight Commander without mouse?
No, I mean how do I INSTALL mc without a mouse? libgpmg is a required package for mc, and if it is not present dpkg complains and won't install mc. Since mc operates perfectly well without a mouse I can't imagine why this is so, but there it is. I guess I could go ahead and install libgpmg even though there physically is no mouse present, but won't that create problems for libgpmg setup? How can I force install and config of mc without a mouse?

The installation kernels are stuffed with SCSI drivers. If you've built your own, you've presumably built in the correct drivers. If you haven't, you'll get a kernel panic after it's detected all the hardware, when it tries to mount the root filesystem, i.e. before/instead of: Partition check: sda: sda1 sda2 sda3 sda4 hda: hda1 VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly. > Load the system via floppy which has the SCSI controller on it? This is worth doing just to convince yourself that the kernel on the floppy does have all the correct drivers included. > what other alternative is there to make the SCSI boot up without the need > of a floppy? The BIOS needs to be able to read from the boot device without any assistance from linux. If you're getting 2FA, then that task is done. Now lilo needs to read the kernel from the partition where it has been told it is. I think that's what's failing. The causes are varied, I believe. If you boot up with a floppy, keep a copy of /etc/lilo.conf and edit this file (remembering to run lilo each time before you reboot without the floppy), you should be able to fix it. If you're lucky, however, you might find it's as simple as marking the approriate partition active. That didn't work for me, but I've seen others report it as a solution. What worked for *me* in this instance was putting linear in lilo.conf and changing boot=/dev/hda2 to boot=/dev/hda . This puts lilo in the master boot record of the disk instead of the boot sector of the 2nd partition. (You'll be using sd, not hd, and maybe a different partition number.) Much later, I found that I could revert to the previous settings if the firmware of the disk was not set to "block mode 16 sectors/interrupt" at address 59. That's on an IDE disk - I don't know about these things on SCSI disks (where I've never had these problems).

Weird problem with Netscape and X
Hello, I am running an up to date Potato system. I am using the GNOME desktop and a locally installed copy of Netscape Navigator. Netscape lives in /usr/local/netscape. I have a symlink from /usr/bin/netscape to /usr/local/netscape/netscape. When I try to run Netscape from a menu icon or from a desktop launcher nothing happens. There are no error messages on my console, no windows open, nothing happens. If I open an xterm and run netscape or /usr/bin/netscape then netscape will start up just fine. I have triple checked the path in my launchers. This is really driving me batty. This same problem also happens with XMMS. However XMMS is slightly different. XMMS will not start at all. Not from an xterm and not from a launcher. When I attempt to start xmms at an xterm the xterm acts like XMMS started - that is it doesn't return to the propt - but no window ever appears.

Re: empty .ssh directory
Are you also using ssh to log into other computers (not only to be able to log into your own using ssh), if that's so, it's not weird the directory is empty. If you are using ssh to log into other computers there should be a file: known_hosts. Empty syslog isn't weird either, every once in a while (see cron) the syslog is renamed to syslog.0 (syslog.0 becomes syslog.1.gz etc.) and syslog is empty agains and starts logging again. I think (not sure, but would be logical to me) that when the logrotate (renaming of the logs) starts the logging daemons are stopped and restarted again after the logrotate, the line in your syslog says that the syslog daemon has started (also comes in your syslog after a reboot). I have no idea what the process is, you say you tried killing it, have you tried killing with the -9 option (hard kill). You can check /var/run if in one of the files is the pid on which the process is running, perhaps that can explain things. Ron On Fri, 17 Mar 2000, John F.

LPD execv error
I have an issue I am trying to solve with the BSD lpr package on a potato system. I have installed the following: - lpr - magicfilter - ghostscript - netpbm I have created a printcap using magicfilterconfig which appears to work fine. When I do something like: lpr tiger.ps I can hear the disk churning, and I can see that magicfilter and gs are running to convert the postscript file to PCL for the HP DeskJet 550C using the correct filter. So far so good. The issue comes because what I am actually trying to do is create a bootable CD that will contain a complete lpr/samba print server and which will allow the target system to boot and run directly from the CD. I have succesfully configured all the things I need to have running on this system except for the lpd process. To copy lpd to the target system, I had to do the following: - apt-get source lpr - change the hardcoded path in pathnames.h for the printer socket to /var/run/lpd.socket - make and copy the resulting binaries over to the staging area for my root isofs I had to make this modification to the lpr source because the root filesystem will (obivously) be read only and therefore lpd will not be able to create its /dev/printer socket. I do, however, have a mounted partition on /var/ for spooling, etc., so lpd can create its socket in /var/run. I have also provided a symlink in the root filesystem image from /dev/printer to /var/run/lpd.socket to that anything that expects to use /dev/printer will still work. In fact, the system boots fine and all the processes, including lpd start up ok. I can see using lsof that lpd is using the correct socket, etc. Everything like lpr, lpq, etc. seem to work as they should *except*: Anytime I spool any sort of job (for example 'lpr tiger.ps'), I see a single message in the syslog similar to: lpd[77]: cannot execv /etc/magicfilter/dj550c-filter However, all the other programs I have on this system work fine, and if I execute: /etc/magicfilter/dj550c-filter < /tmp/tiger.ps > /tmp/tiger.out Then gs obediently converts my PostScript file to PCL just fine. I deduce from this that there is nothing really wrong with the filter script, or magicfilter, or gs themselves, but instead with lpd. I can't determine from the syslog message exactly *why* lpd thinks it can't execv my filter, so I am sort of at a loss as to what to look at next. Before I go and modify the lpr source to give me more info, I thought I'd try the list to see if anyone has any insight to offer. I searched DejaNews fairly extensively, and I saw a ton of questions regarding this same sort of execv error message with lpd, but I didn't see a single answer beyond 'there must be something wrong with your filter'. I have also tried to eliminate issues like permissions by doing things like 'chmod -R 777 /var/spool/', etc., to no avail. I also tried using lprng, but I got even worse results. Lprng would start up on my CD based system, but it wouldn't do anything; no log output, no errors, no spooling, no filtering, nothing. It just sat there happily repeating that there were no queue entries. __ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo! Messenger. http://im.yahoo.com

swat for samba???
Hi, I would like to use swat on my Linux-box for easier configuration of samba. I thought it would be a seperate package, but couldn't find it in dselect. Do I just have to enable swat by a parameter in a configuration file or is it really a seperate package and I have to get it from somewhere? thanks for help!ks for help!

Re: dselect
Are you mounting your cd drive? You need to mount the drive before dselect. Also, is everything going correctly when you choose install method (the menu item). Select "apt" or "cdrom."

Re: dselect
It seem that you have not pointed dselect (apt) to a more up-to-date distribution. As root, try running the apt-setup command and select a complete mirror. Then run dselect and chose the update option to get a new list of packages from the chosen source. Once the packages are updated, you are returned to the main menu and you can then enter the selection menu and have significantly more packages to choose from Hope this helps. Johnny.

This puts lilo in the > master boot record of the disk instead of the boot sector of the > 2nd partition. (You'll be using sd, not hd, and maybe a different > partition number.) I know the aha-2940 writes its own BIOS into my PC's memory if no IDE drives are installed. This makes installation of OS/2 (don't laugh, this was a while ago...), and Linux and presumably all non-crippleware OS's MUCH easier, as my BIOS does not have to support IDE's st1506 (? did I remember that aright?) legacy; allowing me to boot from my 2nd HD's second logical partition. Go into fdisk and use the 'p' command on your drives and WRITE this info down. When primary, logical and extended partitions mix the numbering scheme gets confusing and non-obvious FAST--easy to make a mistake like mine above. (Not that I'm being defensive :) Below is a paste of my partitions on sda and sdb, .7 and 8.5 gig drives, showing how the numbering skips to 5 when you start making only logical partitions. I don't know if the DPT card does this BIOS repair. Even with IDE-compatible HD addressing the 'linear' lilo.conf option may not be necessary as long as the boot partition is below cyl. 1024. You asked if the disk has an MBR, THE master boot record of partitions for the whole disk, as opposed to mbr's, each partitions' layout data. Each drive always does, unless corrupted. To boot into lilo, it must go there: on a SCSI system it would be boot=/dev/sda. NO number means it points to the MBR; "sda1" is the first partition which has AN mbr, but not THE drive MBR--that is at "sda"; see my lilo.conf below. lilo.conf boot=/dev/sda root=/dev/sdb6 install=/boot/boot.b map=/boot/map compact vga=normal prompt timeout=100 verbose=3 read-only image=/vmlinuz label=linux image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.36 label=old other=/dev/sda1 label=dos table=/dev/sda disk partitions Disk /dev/sda: 64 heads, 32 sectors, 699 cylinders Units = cylinders of 2048 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 *1 629 644080b Win95 FAT32 /dev/sda2 630 699716805 Extended /dev/sda5 630 69971664 82 Linux swap /dev/sdb11 1105 88758815 Extended /dev/sdb51 38 305172c Win95 FAT32 (LBA) /dev/sdb6 * 39 357 2562336 83 Linux native /dev/sdb7 358 612 2048256 83 Linux native /dev/sdb8 613 931 2562336 83 Linux native /dev/sdb9 932 1007 610438+ 83 Linux native /dev/sdb101008 1105 787153+ 83 Linux native -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] || http://www.concentric.net/~bedlam Though nothing is wasted, everything is spent. -- Annie Dillard But to live outside the law you must be honest -- Bob Dylan

$then = time();

gpmconfig test works; gpm doesn't
Hi. I've got a PC/2 (on /dev/psaux) mouse that works just fine in X. However, at a console, it doesn't work. So I've tried running gpmconfig, and the test (where you move the mouse and see the pointer move, and then press Ctrl-D to quit) works fine, but when I quit gpmconfig and gpm starts, my mouse no longer works, or more accurately, no longer works correctly; I don't see a pointer "box", but sometimes portions of the screen will highlight as I move the mouse, etc. This also seems to prevent cut&paste within X. Anyone know what's wrong? (Please CC me as I'm currently off the list (bouncing problems...).) Thanks!

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

Re: make menuconfig
Thanks, but I meant what packages are needed for make menuconfig to function, as in when I enter the command the pretty blue menuconfig app starts instead of an error message. In other words, I already have the kernel source installed and can use the make command, the hard to use one where you go through the list of questions in a preset order. What additional deb packages do I need to install so that make menuconfig will work? It it just bin86? I thought there were others. I installed all of these a long time ago after finding a page on the Debian site that told which packages were needed. Now I need to set up another system and I can't find that page. >Quoting David Densmore ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): >> what packages must be installed to use make menuconfig? > >A kernel-source package, its dependencies, recommendations, and >suggestions apart from kernel-package, which I'd heartily >recommend, and bin86, which is needed only on x86 architectures. >(i.e. check a kernel-source paragraph in the Packages file.) > >Cheers, > >-- >Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: +44 1908 653 739 Fax: +44 1908 655 151 >Snail: David Wright, Earth Science Dept., Milton Keynes, England, MK7 6AA >Disclaimer: These addresses are only for reaching me, and do not signify >official stationery.
