Re: fetchmail / s10/10.0.2.15

[ktb]

OK getting closer.  I ran--

$ fetchmail -c mail.inebraska.com
Enter password for [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
fetchmail: Authorization failure on [EMAIL PROTECTED]
fetchmail: authorization error while fetching from mail.inebraska.com
fetchmail: Authentication failed for [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I was prompted for a password.  I think what is wrong is fkent isn't 
my username for the isp.  So I tried changing this line--
#   username (or user)-- must be followed by a name

in .fetchmailrc

to--

user xyf

but now I get this error--
$ fetchmail -c mail.inebraska.com
fetchmail:/home/fkent/.fetchmailrc:45: parse error at user

I also tried username --xyf
and user "xyf"

Maybe I have the syntax wrong I will keep looking.
Thanks,

Re: fixing netscape's super ugly fonts..how?

[Armin Wegner]

Most web sites are designed for Microsoft. To see them like the author would
like you to see them use Windows fonts. So, install the true type font server
and copy the Windows true type fonts to the appropriet directory.
That's fine.

So it seems.  Here's the relevant section from my .fetchmailrc:

poll mail.earthlink.net protocol POP3:
user reznaeous
password my_password_was_here;

I would guess that somethings just not quite right with yours.
Perhaps a misplaced : or ; somewhere?  If that doesn't do it
send me a copy of your .fetchmailrc and I'll see if I can spot
what's wrong.

If you have the CDs and a web server, you can change your sources.list
to point to the server; then you'd get a web-install environment. 
(I don't have the CDs, but I did the same thing with apt-move; it worked
well. Since apt-move "generates" directories that mirror the CDs, I think 
there shouldn't be any problem with CDs.)

OT a bit; do you have any problem with ftp? (PAM to be exact.) I did mix
and match on slink and potato, the ftpd wouldn't work. Then I reinstalled
potato (from floppies), then apt-get upgrade, apt-get update, apt-get
install wu-ftpd, voila, the ftp server worked well.

So that you can have more than one ISP with different DNS servers; and the

Mounting root on a diskless using NFS

[david . cureton]

Hi All,
With some struggling I have managed to get a diskless workstation
running and requesting the root from the NFS server.
I am now stuck because whatever I do the NFS server blocks the request from
the booting workstation to mount its root.

I have tried many configuration of /etc/exports in an attempt to get it
working however the results are still the same. 
(Yes, I am reloading the NFS daemons after each change)

When the diskless workstation boots it goes through the required hoops and
finally requests to mount /export/root via NFS from my server 'huntsman'.
The request to mount /export/root to 192.168.1.11 (diskless workstation) can
be seen in the output of mountd in the syslog. However the mountd denies the
request due to lack of permissions. I do not understand why.

I am able to mount the /export/root directory to /mnt by hand on as root on
my huntsman machine and it is still accessable rw using the nobody account.
What user/group id does the kernal use when requesting root? Does it use
root user and group ID?

My /etc/exports entry looks as follows:

/export/root192.168.1.11(rw, no_root_squash) huntsman(rw,
no_root_squash)

This is as per the various sources of documentation for diskless booting
however it still does not work.

Thanks in advance,
David

Re: fetchmail / s10/10.0.2.15

[ktb]

I don't think the last message I sent went through due to me
changing some things in the rc files.  Ayway I will start over.

I changed the "poll" section in .fetchmailrc and now I get:
$ fetchmail -c mail.inebraska.com
8 messages for xyf at mail.inebraska.com (17181 octets).

So it seems I am closer once again but when I try:
$ fetchmail -av mail.inebraska.com to get my mail all I get
back is a command line. 

Here is what I have in .fetchmailrc:

# This is what the developer's .fetchmailrc looks like:

set daemon 300  # Poll at 5-minute intervals

defaults
#   interface "sl0/10.0.2.15"   # SLIRP standard address
#   user esr is esr fetchmail-friends magic-numbers here
fetchall

# Use this for production

I'd bet that if you run 'ps aux | grep fetchmail' you will see a line
something similar to:
mike 17617  0.0  1.1  1676  752 ?S20:48   0:00 fetchmail -d 120

(Note: I run fetchmail a bit differently than you, so it'll most likely
look a bit different on your system.)

The line I marked in your .fetchmailrc says to run fetchmail in daemon
mode.  It won't do anything noticeable right off.  But every 5 minutes
it'll go check every mail server defined in your .fetchmailrc and grab
all of the mail from those servers.  That mail will then end up in your
incoming spool, unless you have done something odd with exim.

To get something more like what you are probably expecting, comment
out the line that says 'set daemon 300', do 'fetchmail --quit', and
then try again.

You might have BIOS legacy support turned on. This is a basic
keyboard-only driver (in a few cases, keyboard+ps2 mouse), that interprets
USB keyboard compliant with the USB boot protocol as a standard keyboard
in the super IO controller so the PC keyboard controller can use it.

There is also a "backport" of the 2.3 USB stack to 2.2.1x that has most
things in it (anything for parallel ports isn't, because of some changes
at the kernel level)

Try doing a web search for "linux usb FAQ" and looking for the backport.

Joe has been mentioned before, and it's also my recomendation. It has
easily accessible online help (which is easy to find and use, unlike
emacs), and does pretty much everything you need it to do.

I also have to deal with someone who isn't terribly unix-savy, but whom
I often have to instruct over the phone (a text-editor is the single
most important tool in unix systems administration, and the only way to
do many important jobs). I gave him a few pointers in using joe, made
him sit down and practice, and now both our lives are a lot easier (vi,
over the phone, is even less fun than vi in person!).

Re: fetchmail / s10/10.0.2.15

[ktb]

I tried changing to 'fetchmail --quit' but got an error and fetchmail
wouldn't work.  So I changed the daemon number to 3 seconds.  I still get
nothing.  I see nothing in my "/var/spool/mail/fkent" permisions are:
-rw-rw 1 fkent mail

It seems to me if I use the -v flag such as
"fetchmail -v mail.inebraska.com" I should at least see something (the man
page says it writes to stderr) at the command line.  I also tried
"fetchmail -k mail.inebraska.com" to pull the mail off the server but it
doesn't.  The mail is still there.  So I don't know.  Maybe if I had another
1000 lines of man page I could figure this fetchmail stuff out:)

kent

Re: fetchmail / s10/10.0.2.15

[John Hasler]

Get rid of the 'daemon' line.  You don't want that: it makes fetchmail go
into the background and poll periodically.  Also, you don't need to specify
the server on the command line when you have it in your .fetchmailrc.  Your
.fetchmailrc is too complicated.  Make it like this:

poll mail.inebraska.com
protocol POP3
user xyf
password xxx

Now just type 'fetchmail -av' .

First, you need the USB-Patch for the 2.2.x Kernel. You can get it
from http://www.linux-usb.org. There is a USB-HOWTO too. Additionally
you should read the Documentation in the kernelsource
(/usr/src/linux/Documentation/usb) after applying the patch.

On my computer an USB mouse works well.

DB-

Did you ever actually install X?  If not, instead of typing "startx" you
need to type "XF86Setup" and if that doesn't work either install the VGA
server via dselect or type "xf86config" to get X running.

If you had X installed previously, try "XF86Setup" at the command prompt
and check out your settings to see what's crashing X.

Questions about Debian

[Lachlan Robinson]

To whom it may concern,
I am considering using Debian on my computer, but I have a question, is 
Debian a GUI (Graphical User Interface)?  I have installed and are using the 
'basic' installation (from the 7 1.44 meg images), and it resembles an 
x-term or DOS environment, and I was wondering (before I download the rest) 
if the rest of the package has some GUI features.

Thankyou for your time!

OT: Video cards? Creating Athlon Debian box..

[kaynjay]

I'm putting together my first machine (upgrading from a 486, so it should be
interesting :) and have trouble deciding on a video card.  I thought 3dfx
was supposed to be a good choice (looking at the 3000), as was Matrox (the
G400).  But older posts on the archives seem to indicate trouble with both
(or at least _references_ to trouble).  

NVidia (sp?) was mentioned as a possibility, but I didn't know it was
supported well.

I hope people don't mind the poll. I honestly am at a bit of a loss with all
the new stuff I'm discovering out there, and want to make a good match with
Debian.  

Thanks for any input!

Kenward Vaughan

ps. My work will involve molecular modeling imagery, with VRML quite likely a 
part of that. Certainly 2D, but I don't know about 3D.  Any games are likely

Anyone using the ConTeX package in tetex? Is broken?

[Eric G . Miller]

I've been trying to figure out the ConTeX package in TeX and I ran into
a few troubles. First, it wasn't even enabled or built -- so I had to
edit the config files and then build it. But it's still missing some set
up files. When I run LaTeX on anything, I now get this warning:

(/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/supp-pdf.tex
(/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/supp-mis.tex
loading : Context Support Macros / Missing

which  doesn't seem to matter generally.  But the real bummer is
trying to run texexec --output=pdf  and alot of things are
placed badly (I'm using a bunch of sample.tex files from the ConTeX
folks -- so you'd think they'd work!). It's seems to not have all of the
definition files needed to properly handle things.

Anyway, just wondering if anyone else on this list is using it.

Re: Mounting root on a diskless using NFS

[Tolga KILICLI]

We had your problem with our diskless clients too. 
This could be due to these ;

- We tried /remote/xw1, /remote/xw2 etc. to export but all were
denied. I don't know why when we changed /remote with /tftpboot all of our
problems were gone. 

- For the client part also you have to compile a new kernel with enabling
NFS options.

Before you load the module you need to echo the IRQ that it is to use 
in /proc/parport/0/irq

I do this with my debian box to my slackware box and it works quite 
nicely.  I have included my simple 'plip' script that I wrote to handle

Help with GDM

[Eric Gillespie, Jr.]

I've just upgrade from Debian 2.1 to unstable, and i have
everything working except gdm. X comes up, and i can see that
/etc/gdm/Init/Default is being run because the xsetroot command
there turns the background blue, but this script does not
complete because the xterm it's supposed to run never appears.
Then X dies. This happens about 5 more times, and then i'm left
with X running, along with my xterm and gdmlogin. gdm is no
longer running at this point. gdmlogin reads in my username and
password, but then disappears, but both X and the xterm are still
running. I have to ctrl-alt-backspace it.

Attached are the relevant parts of /var/log/syslog and the only
two files i've modified from the default debian install,
/etc/gdm/Init/Default and /etc/gdm/gdm.conf.

What xterm? There shouldn't be any xterm until after you've logged in
(if your ~/.xsession starts one). Are you talking about xconsole? It's
not running here with a mostly default GDM setup.

I suspect a deeper X problem first. Kill gdm and make sure X works.

Sorry, should've been more clear. For testing purposes, i started
an xterm from /etc/gdm/Init/Default.

X works just fine from xdm or startx.

Yes, it seems to be respawning after dying. I just can't figure
out why it's dying. xdm is not even installed; gdm conflicts with
it.

Thanks for the speedy response.

Do you have suexec enabled? (It is enabled by setting it suid, and is
located at /usr/lib/apache[-ssl]/suexec . If it is, and I usually get
error messages like that when suexec rejects the cgi, then you can look at
its quite explaining error messages in /var/log/apache[-ssl]/suexec.log

You should either do things according to what suexec expects, or disable
suexec.

New Install causes reboot

[Jim Foltz]

Hello,
 
I am trying to install Debian potato on my PC. 
Before the past weekend, it was already running Debian potato, but I decided I 
didn't like the way my HD was partitioned, so I re-partitioned and now I can't 
get the Linux kernel to boot.
 
I have tried the boot set from potato, slink, an 
old slackware cd, and even tried a kernel from tomsrtbt, but no joy. I even 
tried DiLinux from an old Debian 1.2 cd.
 
What happens is this: almost as soon as the kernel 
boots, it detects my memory, then it gives a general proection fault and 
displays some debugging information (stack trace, register dump) and locks up 
completely. Pushing the reset button does work. This happens with all the 
kernels I tried, although the error messages were different.
 
I checked my BIOS settings for something unusual, 
but I didn't see anything out of the ordinary. Besides, this machine 
was already running potato.
 
I couldn't find an answer searching google.com or 
deja.com. 
 
So, What next?
 

RE: reselling and distributing

[C. Falconer]

Dear Sir/Madam

Linux is free, almost every item of software is free.  There are no charges 
for the operating system.

Licensing - you can not charge more than a nominal fee for a disk/cd/tape - 
I don't think there has ever been a maximum price suggested, but if you're 
charging more than twice the media cost for a CD full of stuff available 
for no charge on the net - then something is awray.

Please don't send email messages ad-hock - its called spam, and gives you a 
*very* bad name.

(cc'd to the list cos it might start a topic)

While this helps, it doesn't address all issues, particularly WRT font

easily read under NS/Linux.

To fix this, and some related Netscape brain damage, create a file

No, it's not suid.

I have never had it enabled. The machine is mine at home and I don't need
suexec there. But when I get the "premature end of headers" message it at 
least means that apache started the script. 

Well, at the moment I have 1.3.9-10 version installed so it works for me and
I can work on my cgi. I just wanted to point that there are some problems with
1.3.9-12 and before filling bug report I wanted to consult it here, if somebody
else also experience the same problem.

boot prob

[pplaw]

debs,

my only stable lapbox won't boot slink anymore.   (i hit the off
button before a complete "halt" was achieved--( a bonehead move,
i know)).here's the last portion of the script before it
hangs:

/dev/had5 was not cleanly unmounted; check forced.

/dev/hda5: unattached inode 370715

/dev/hda5: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY;  RUN fsck Manually.
(i.e., without -a or -p options)

fsck failed.  Please repair manually and reboot.  Please note
that the root filse system is currently mounted read-only.  To
remount it read-write:


# mount -n -o remount, rw /

 CONTROL-D will exit from this shell and REBOOT the system.

Give root password for maintenance (or type Control -D for
normal Startup):

//

from there,  i log in as root and type "fsck," i'm prompted to
run "e2fsck."when i do, i get this message:

e2fsck 1.12, 9-Jul-98 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09
Using EXT2FS Library version 1.12, 9-Jul-98.

at this point, i'm stumped.  but my suspicion is that inode

can anyone please help?

ehhhmmm ... did you specify the partition to check?
you must use "fsck /dev/hda5"

an inode is the data stucture, which holds information about a
file. after pressing "y" on all question from fsck you'll find the file
#370715 in the /lost+found directory (relative to the mount point of
hda5). look, if it is something useful, if yes, then save it to a sensible
location, if not, delete it.

Re: Java IDE

[John Stevenson]

You could try using the Blackdown JDK from www.blackdown.org, get the Release
Candidate 4  (RC4), this uses native threads and has the sun JIT compiler in it.
This make a noticable improvement of speed on my machine.

It seems to work fine with all Java apps I have tried, with the exception of 
Together
from Object International which doesnt like the JIT when running and doesnt like
native threads when installing.

You don't say which ftp program you used. The following applies to ftp run
from a command line.

If you start an ftp download, the file will go into your current directory. 
(However, you can change current directory inside ftp, if you want.)



If you can't remember where you were, try this command (and wait a while for it
to run):

 find / -name communicator-v472-export.x86-unknown-linuxglibc2.0.tar.gz 2>
/dev/null

Under /usr/doc are directories for each package.  Inside are many kinds
of file, but most frequently they are plain text, compressed text (file names
end with .gz) and HTML files.  For HTML, use lynx (or netscape, once you find 
it)
For others, use zless.

To find out how to use particular commands, use `man command'.

Some commands (such as bash, ftp, gdb and nslookup) have interactive help 
inside
them.  With these, you can type `help' and get a list of possible actions.

There are lots of Gnome-related packages, that need to be installed separately.

bootup message and ppp

[Kerstin Hoef-Emden]

Hi!

What does the message "S30.serial: Permission denied" during bootup 
mean?

The ppp dial-in is still unreliable. Usually the first attempt fails,
but sometimes the following attempt does not work either. Communication
with the serial interface seems to work, but sometimes it does not
establish the connection and sometimes it keeps on negociating with the
other side unsuccessully and shuts down the line.
I used the same settings as in RedHat, but the RedHat-ppp works without
problem. First shot - and you are online. There I use a ppp-up and a
chatscript and shut the line down with a killall pppd. 
What might be the problem? Once the connection is settled, it seems to
be stable.


Regards,

Kerstin

svga modes

[Mark Small]

Yesterday I tried using vga=ask as a bootup option (from loadlin) and chose a 
different video mode (80x28 instead of 80x25).  It looked fine when I was 
booting, but after I switched from a x (auto started with XDM) to a VT, I was 
back in standard text mode.  Also, I couldn't see the bottom three
lines of text, so the VT thought that there were 28 lines on my console.  Is 
there a configuration option that I missed, or is this a problem with my X 
server?

Only if the parameters are now wrong, and need changing.

What *is* important is that you run lilo even if you don't change
/etc/lilo.conf (which may not be obvious at first sight). The
contents of the boot sector have to be changed for the new kernel's
location at the very least.

Any legal advice from me would be worthless, so it's pointless
prolonging this thread here. The developers may or may not have
discussed these issues elsewhere.

In Britain it is enough to know that the handling of personal data,
by computer or otherwise, is regulated, and registration is required.
Unless you're involved in doing it, that knowledge is just about
sufficient to avoid breaking the law.

apt-get error ("Couldn't configure a pre-depend")

[Chris]

Hi, this is my first post (fresh-off-the-farm newbie).  Hope someone can
help.

I'm trying to upgrade from slink to the latest unstable using apt-get
dist-upgrade, and
after a 180MB download (14 hours!) I got this error message:

"E: Internal Error, Couldn't configure a pre-depend."

What does this mean, and how can I fix it (or better yet, where can read
up on it)?
I have a few slink-jp packages installed as well.  Could these be
messing things up...?

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!  :-)

Dial on demand (pppd, diald, ???)

[Manuel Zabelt]

ello!

I managed to get pppoe working, so I can uses ADSL.

Now i want to use the demand option of pppd or the diald. 

Can anyone helb me getting one of these two progs to work?
I think diald is what I need.
I need a programm, that creates a dummy-networkdevice (e.g. sl0)
and listens an this device. If something wants to connect to somewhere
with the help of this device (the default route will be set to sl0) then
I want diald just to start a tiny programm. 
The programm does all the rest.

kernel panic: unable to mount root fs...

[John Kiff]

Help!!!

I got the following messages when I was booting up:

"EXT2-fs: group descriptors corrupted:"

followed a few lines later by:

"kernel panic: unable to mount root fs on 03:02"

after which everything stops. The same thing happened when I tried using my 
boot floppy.

What should I do? My first reaction is to go back to square one and reinstall 
Debian (I'm
currently using 2.2). However, before I take such drastic measures, is there a 
quicker and simpler
way of getting everything back up and running?

Yeah, I sw that and tried both. Neither did anything. Not a screen flicker,
not a screen change, not a mark changed anywhere, not a beep, nothing.

I've got version "diety 0.7.7"; maybe you've got a newer version and this is
a "feature" of my version?

You can also download a backport of the 2.3.x USB stuff for the 2.2.x
kernels. Take a look at the linux USB home page at:

You'll see the link for the backport.

This is a misconception.  The Debian Free Software Guidelines
(which is adhered-to by anything in Debian's main archives) says
that the software may be sold commercially.

However, a lot of this software is under the GPL (GNU Public
License) which says that you must also provide source code along
with the GPL'ed binaries, and that the recipients have the same
rights as you under the GPL (including giving the software away
for free).

So you could sell Debian CDs for $1000 each (assuming anyone
would be uninformed enough to buy it at that price), but that
buyer could then turn around and give it away for free on a web
server and undercut you.   This ensures that the software is
`usually' sold at only slighly more than reproduction costs.

apt-get usage

[Peter S Galbraith]

This is silly, I should know this.

How do I tell apt-get to forget about a past forced installation.

For example, I install `smtm' from potato on slink.  It depends
on perl5 but I know it'll mostly work anyway.

But then, any later usage of apt-get tells me:

# apt-get install eperl
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
  smtm: Depends: perl5 but it is not installable
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a 
solution).

How do I get past it?

Well, Lynx will show graphics if you select them (using whatever
viewer you have set up for that MIME type -- ImageMagick on my box). 
If you want a text-mode viewer that handles frames and tables better
than Lynx, you might try links or w3m.

I find that for many purposes kfm (from KDE) is a better, faster web
browser than Netscape Navigator.  No graphical browser will as fast
as Lynx, though.

The base install of Debian is just a very minimal system. It doesn't even 
include the
man (manual/help) pages. All versions of Linux are at their core just text mode.
However, just as you could install Windows 3.1 on top of DOS, you can install 
the X
Window System on top of Linux. Use dselect and "Select" to install the package
"xserver-vga16". That should flag a bunch of other packages to be installed that
should get you pretty close to having a working GUI. After this package is 
installed,
run XF86Setup. If you have something better than just a generic VGA card and
14" monitor, you may also want to install "xserver-svga" or better yet,
"xserver-".

Just a very quick tutorial: the X Window System is made up of two components: 
1) the
server (xserver-vga, etc), which provides the graphical screen, and 2) the 
clients
(such as Netscape and xterm, etc), one of the most important of which is your 
window
manager (kfm, icewm, window-maker, etc), which provides the "look-and-feel" for 
your
GUI environment.

Gnome and KDE are two popular "environments", which can be thought of as 
souped-up
window managers, but are really a collection of tools which include a default
window-manager and which add bells-and-whistles in addition to the default 
window
manager functions. For now, with Debian, you might want to go with something 
simple,
like icewm. Just use dselect to install it.

Hope this helps get you started.

You might want to take a look at gzilla (name just changed to armadillo). It's 
fast
and easy on the resources. Most graphic images are working fine, but the frames 
are
still in work.

I love lynx, but when I need to look at a graphical site, I use mozilla.
It renders pages faster over a 33.6k modem then using netscape on a LAN,
which just goes to show it is not downloading the page that is

I just couldn't keep myself from installing new release of xmame from

is worth it! Sound is incredibbly crisp, few games that segfaulted in
a previous version (e.g. Robocop) now run without the flaw.

Those who do not know what I'm babbling about should check xmame
package, that contains an arcade machine emulator supporting 2000+
beautiful videogames from last 30 years. Also do not forget to visit

Having said that, just now I installed capt on my office box (as opposed to my 
home
box), and the "c" does work. I think maybe I wasn't doing something right on my 
home
box. Just now, when I marked "links" to be installed, I then pressed "c" and 
another
screen came up, presumably showing me dependencies. OK, fine, so I hit .
Nothing happened, so I pressed "ESC" or "q" (I forget), and went back to the 
previous
screen. I hit ; nothing. I hit "c"; nothing. I hit "q". Dropped out of 
capt
without anything happening.

So I went back in and remarked "links" for installation, hit "c" which took me 
to the
dependency screen, hit "c" AGAIN, and then things started happening.

I think console-apt will be a great tool; now that I've gotten past the first
"learning curve", I think I'm going to like it a LOT better than dselect. But 
then
again, I've only successfully used it once, so time will tell.

Hello Joshua,

I hope the following helps:

1. As far as I know (I don't have a Mac IIci) the Apple CD-ROM
drives are SCSI drives (you can check this from MacOS). If so, they 
should be accessible as /dev/scd0 under Linux.

2. If you get the CD drive to work, you can also read (almost) every
CD ROM, including Debian CDs.

3. Be aware that usual Debian CD sets contain the binary packages for
only one processor type ("architecture" in debianese), and usual CD
sets (most likely even those that don't specify an architecture at all)
are i386 (vanilla PC compatible). You'll need CDs for the m68k
architecture.

4. If you get stuck with problems specific to (the Debian port to) the
Macintosh, you can also post your questions to the debian-68k mailing
list; that's where the Mac experts are.

Bjoern

Thanks guys, that got me part way!  I did apt-get install apt, and it seemed to 
do its
thing there for a while.

But I've got a new and even more exciting error message now:

 "E: This installation run will require temporarily removing the
  essential package libpam0g due to a Conflicts/Pre-Depends
  loop.  This is often bad [ ?! ], but if you really want to do it,
  activate the APT::Force-LoopBreak option.
  E: Internal Error, Could not early remove libpam0g
  Some errors occured while unpacking.  I'm going to
  configure the packages that were installed..."

It then gives me an exit error (100) and sends me back to #3 on the main menu.

Again, I'd really appreciate any help. (I don't know much about Linux yet, but 
libpam
is an authentication module, right?  Is there some way of using another method 
of
authentication to get around this problem? Or is there a better way?)


Thanks again...

What is your problem?  You ask a question and get it answered.  More than one
answer arrive because more than one person knows the answer, this is what
happens on mailing lists.
Then you send out a message saying that people are offending you by answering
your question.  Such a message is extremely offensive to the people who spend
their valuable time helping people like you without getting paid for doing so.
Now of course people are suggesting that you are stupid for intentionally
offending people who offer you help.  Why does this surprise you?

In case you haven't realised yet, as long as you keep posting to a mailing
list people who have opinions on the matter will keep replying to you.  If
you don't want replies then you won't write messages.

Could you please give me more identifying information on yourself?  If you
have any other email addresses then please tell me what they are.  I want to
avoid accidentally assisting you with any computer problem you may have in
future.  Also please tell me your age.  If you are a child then I'll
reconsider this decision when you turn 18.

I don't expect people to thank me when I spend my time solving their problems
for free.  But I do expect them to refrain from being even 10% as offensive
as you are.

As a final note, you complain about getting 20 answers.  Every day I get at
least 200 emails (sometimes as many as 400).  Of those emails at least 50 are
from people just as clueless as you (but who are much more polite).  I don't
get offended by people asking simple questions like "does Debian support SMP",
sometimes I even answer such questions.  Sometimes I let others answer them
(plenty of people with less experience than I are capable of answering such
simple questions so I can concentrate on more difficult and interesting
questions).
I don't flame people for asking simple questions.  I flame people who have
serious attitude problems in the hope that they will realise that they are
doing the wrong thing and start to behave better.  Incidentally I have only
come across a few people on the Internet who are as offensive as you.  Due to
this I would be happy to devote my entire efforts in this regard towards
educating you on an attitude that will work on the Internet.  If you don't
understand some of what I am saying, or disagree for some reason then please
let me know and I can expand greatly.

pseudo-image

and I don't see a file list.  Where do I get the latest file list?

I would go foor 3dfx and Matrox based cards, when comes 
need to buy new videocard.

3dfx has good base, they have released specs, and have 
open source drivers.

I don\'t remember Matrox\'s case, at least they have very 
good drivers.

When 3dfx established very good bug-tracking system, 
NVidia suddenly announced to release drivers to Linux too. 
But their drivers are binary only (not optimised, barely
working. Decent 2D but 3D sucks), and looks like they 
don\'t have interest of Linux users any more. So don\'t expect 
NVidia cards work with future X or kernel.

My answer: If NVidia pretends Linux doesn\'t exist, then I
pretend NVidia doesn\'t exist. Fair trade, I think.

sending with 2 isp accounts

[ktb]

I have two isp accounts.  I just got exim, fetchmail, mutt working 
last night.  I've got fetchmail set up so I can download from
both isp's ok but the problem I'm having is sending.  I can send 
just fine from isp #1 (inebraska) but the messages I sent from isp #2 
(peoplepc) didn't get out of my system and were bounced back to me.  I 
thought this was probably due to the rewrite rule in /etc/exim.conf so 
I added isp #2.  From the file:

Now I don't get the message sent as peoplepc bouncing back.  It just 
sticks in my "outbox" in mutt.  One of the problems is the mail server
for the peoplepc on outgoing is smtp.peoplepc.com.  I don't know where
to put this info.  I'm confused on how to get this done.
Thanks,

When I did that then all my mail just went to mutt's outbox and wasn't
sent as far as I can tell.  One other complication is the outgoing
mail server name is different for peoplepc then the incomming mail
server name.  I don't know how to handle that either.  Hope
I have been clear. If someone could point the way I would apreciate it

ftp.us.debian.org upgraded

[Dpk]

The host ftp.egr.msu.edu (or ftp.us.debian.org) has been upgraded to a
Pentium Celeron 450 w/384 MB of RAM.  An additional 18 GB of storage
was added and it is now directly connected at 100 Mbps full-duplex to
the MSU Gigabit backbone (with an OC-3 Internet link).

The Debian archive is available via:

archive-ftp:/debian/
archive-http:   /debian/
archive-rsync:  /debian/

This should fix the hardware problems we have had as of recent,
providing a fast stable mirror.

Fyi.

Re: sending mail with 2 isp accounts

[ktb]

Sorry for the confusion and the double post.  I don't know what happened but
when I tried to send the messages mutt said "new message in outbox" not
"message sent" so I thought the other message hadn't been sent.  It took
forever and then they came through.  I don't get that.  I sent a bunch of
test messages to myself and they didn't come through till an hour or so
later all at once.  In the meantime I had no trouble sending and receiving
messages through outlook express?

Re: fixing netscape's super ugly fonts..how?

Thanks a lot for these X resources for Netscape.  Do you have any
idea how to control the fonts that Netscape uses for displaying the
menus and other non-web page text?  Seems like there should be a
X resource for that too.

ftp but no apt

[John Stevenson]

Hello
I have set up a partial mirror of debian on one of our
machines.  This was orignially on the same subnet x.x.1.x as
all the laptops we use.  Apt worked fine and we reduced d/l
time emensly.

Now we have moved the box to another subnet, x.x.3.x and now
apt no longer works.  It stalls at the first attempt to
actually get a package list.  It connects to the server
okay, but fails to fetch any package list.

I thought there must have been something denying ftp access,
but straight ftp works fine.  Is there a difference in port
that apt uses against normal ftp??  I cant see this myself
as the mirror is just set up as an anonymous ftp server.

I guess that this must constitue a bug against apt, unless
anyone has any suggestions.  I have tried this accross 3
different subnets and had exactly the same effect.  Very
strange!!

Johnny.

2 ?'s, Pon & normal users, colour in config programs.

[John Anderson]

I tried putting normal users in /etc/group under dip like this:

dip:x:1000:1001

still, the computer says, permission denied to /usr/sbin/pppd.  Did I
configure it incorrectly?  Is there anyway to get this working?  If, not
is there any text-mode dialers that don't need root clearance?

Also, I was wondering if there is anyway to get colour support turned of
in the configuration programs (modconf, pppconfig, etc.)  I know during the
installation it asks you if you have a monochrome or colour monitor, but is
there anyway to change it now?

Thank you.

you must use user names, not numeric id-s. at least my man-page says that.
