Help: Major screw-up installing XF86 4.01
Hi, I installed potato on a desktop when it was unstable and have updated/upgraded since I then did a cdrom install on my laptop about 5 weeks ago. Both have Communicator 4.75 and I loaded Gnome 1.2.2 from woody. As things had gone reasonably well I decided I would try XF86 4.01 on my laptop. I saved X11R6 to /usr/oldx and /etc/X11 to /home/tim olde11. I did make sure that glibc21 was the right set of binaries and downloaded them. It is at this point that things go badly awry. I had a logic failure on the structure of my saved files - thinking that the subdirectories were what was saved. When I had trouble installing 4.01 I decided to go back to 3. I removed X11R6 and created a new X11R6 and copied the files from /usr /oldx into the new X11R6. I did not recognise that I now had /usr/X11R6/X11R6/ and started to move directories! I ended up deciding that I should delete X11R6 again and start over. Unfortunately, in all my messing around, I moved /usr/lib into X11R6 and then deleted it along with the rest of X11R6! My desktop is linked to my laptop so I installed nfs-server and copied /usr/lib from my desktop. Taking more care I again copied /usr/oldx back into /usr and now had what I thoght was the correct structure in X11R6, but X would still not run. Top showed multiple copies of cpp running. I was back at square one. So why not try again with 4.01. The laptop is a Gateway Solo 5150 with the Neomagic (NM2200) video chip with 2.5MB RAM. "startx" under 4.10 gives a Parse error in the config file in section Monitor '"35.15" is not a valid keywird in this setion'. I would welcome any suggestions as to how I might get myself out of this mess. As there may be files missing that were under /usr will I lose everything I have loaded since installation if I re-install from cd? TIA, Tim

If somebody could >help me out with this it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. First, you should recompile the kernel and build sound as modules. You basically need CONFIG_SOUND CONFIG_SOUND_OSS CONFIG_SOUND_SB and maybe CONFIG_SOUND_YM3812 Note that you see the names of the config options by default only when running 'make config'. If you prefer 'make menuconfig' (like I do), you need to look up the short help text for each option by pressing '?' and watch the upper left hand corner. Your configuration should look like this: Sound card support OSS sound modules 100% Sound Blaster compatibles (SB16/32/64, ESS, Jazz16) support FM synthesizer (YM3812/OPL-3) support Then install the modutils package and put the resources in some file under /etc/modutils/. This is my /etc/modutils/options: options sound dmabuf=1 options sb esstype=1868 io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=-1 options mpu401 io=0x330 options opl3 io=0x388 It's for an ISA based Soundblaster clone (the ESS 1868). For instructions on these options see the kernel docs in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound. Finally run "update-modules" and then load the modules: modprobe sb modprobe opl3 If it works, put the names of the modules in /etc/modules, one per line. They will be loaded whenever you boot the system. -- Philipp Lehman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Re: LyX on woody crashes X server
OK, seems I should give some more informations: I use a recent woody with XFree 3.3.6-11 and LyX 1.1.4-7, X server is SVGA (window manager: sawfish-gnome 0.31.1-2 on the newest Debian-only Gnome -- not the Helix distribution). Hardware: a Matrox card MGA G400 AGP with 16 MB RAM, the monitor is a fairly expensive Nokia 447PRO. The same thing happens on another PC with a Matrox Millenium 8 MB and an EIZO F56 (same software versions). As previously said, LyX is basically working, it only crashes and gets me out of X when it loads many fonts in the X server. Hoping for help, joachim

sources.list, installing via nfs.
Hi all, hi will! Thanks for crafting that apt-get-intro! It´s helpfull, but I still have probs with my sources.list. Even after reading the man page(s)and the files in /usr/doc/apt/examples. What I want to do sounds simple, but I´am more and more confused now. I copied my six patatos on a harddisk and can access via ftp or nfs. So, I have one machine witch provides several daemons (downstairs) and another one wich provides the six copied debian CDs. That´s because I´m too lazy to go there as a DJ for installing something. When I choose the nfs-mounted directory, then apt-setup can´t find a lot of things. Of course it can´t, because I dont´t now how to arrange the data proper. Is there any documentation concerning that? Or any hints? Furthermore I tried to access a debian-ftp-mirror. I failed, cause I´m behind a proxy. I didn´t really understood the part with the ftp-proxy in the examples-section. Where do I configure the proxy-port? All right, enough for now. I´ll be gratefull for any help.

OFF-Topic : UDMA & BP6 -- it works.
Hi all. I have been using a Abit BP6 for quite a long time now, and needed the UDMA interfaces. I have 2 IBM 5400tr/min, 15 Gb hdd connected to ide2. Yet, as many people did, I had an awful lot of problems setting up UDMA on this card (autotune would freeze the box at bootup, on Linux as well as on w2k) but I can say now that I have gotten it to work. Well, here is what i deed : recompiled kernel 2.4.0-test9 with ACPI on and support for the HPT366 ; deactivated APM and activated ACPI in bios; set ide2=noautotune and ide3=noautotune as boot parameters for the kernel ; and, most important, unplugged the computer (completely, ie, it was severed from all power source) for one whole night. Then, I let the system boot, and activate by hand dma with hdparm for /dev/hde and /dev/hdf. Strange enough, when I do not unplug the computer long enough, dma works well with /dev/hdf, but give me the hated message : timeout waiting for DMA, and a complete freeze, when applied to /dev/hde. That's all. I read many users had these kind of difficulties, but this is really strange a behavior. All I can say is that my system is really very stable, under a heavy load of IO. -- I'm an occurence of the I love GNU virus. Please help me spread.

Re: GnuPG: problem installing on Woody
Well, after I did an apt-get upgrade this morning, I saw GnuPG being upgraded (Version: 1.0.4-1), and I hoped my problem would have solved itself. It didn't. So, what I did next was: apt-get -b gpg-rsa, which downloads and builds 2 packages, gpg-rsa and gpg-idea (both _2.1.1). Installing these didn't work (using dpkg -i package), so I did dpkg -i --force-conflicts packages. As could have been expected, that wasn't the magical solution either: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/.gnupg$ gpg gpg: selected cipher algorithm is invalid gpg: selected digest algorithm is invalid Normally, gnupg should provide gpg-rsa, if I can rely on dpkg, so I'll try to play around with that idea in mind a little more, but I'm not very optimistic...

c2ps and page size
Hello; I've been trying to use c2ps to print some C++ programs, but the generated page is always larger than the area which my printer can print, so I lose part of the page. The printer is an Epson Stylus Color 850, and the version of c2ps is that on woody (4.0-3). /etc/papersize says "a4", and when I run c2ps I also use "-p a4", and the paper I'm using is a4! Is there some trick I can use, or should I file a bug? I believe it should be possible to tell the program to shorten the printed area...

Help: Replacing linuxconf user group & startup services
Hi, I was told recently that real men don't use linuxconf. Well, since I don't want to want to fool around with something so fundemental as my masculinity, I figure I had better try without. I've a new install anyway and I was only using linuxconf for two things: 1. To change my default group from jgift to users 2. To Switch off unneeded services How can I do this from the console then? I used: adduser jgift users But I figure this just added me to the group and didn't make jgift's default group users as I want. As for the services, does it really mean poking around the init file hoping to get lucky? Thanks, Jonathan

Have you installed the soundsupport into the kernel? If not, you must do so (take a look at the kernel-HOWTO). You must enable soudsupport in the kernelconfig and you can choose your special hardware and special settings. After that you have to boot with the new kernel. Look at the startmessages for soundmodule. You can type "lsmod" at the commandline to proof the loaded modules. A list should appeare with sound or soundcore.

Stormix and Brokerage Fees
If you live in the US, be aware that if you order anything from Stormix you will charged a brokerage fee when the package is delivered. I ordered the deluxe boxed set from Stormix: Storm Linux 2000 Deluxe Edition 69.951 0.00 GST: 4.89 Tax Total: 0.00 Shipping: Express - USA: 21.99 Grand Total: 91.94 Imagine my surprise when the UPS guy tells me that I owe him $38 in brokerage fees !! I refused the package and I've canceled my order. I don't need stormix that bad. I'll just have to learn how to install Debian the hard way -- I've tried 3 times so far : slink and now potato. With Potato I've gotten X-Windows up - but I can't connect to the internet (WVDial fails with my ISP) and I can't print (the LP module wouldn't install during the installation). Just to let everyone know about the brokerage fees. Bill -- Bill Ramsey [EMAIL PROTECTED]

rlogin and rsh for potato?
I just installed potato (2.2) on a new server and tried unsuccessfully to set up a daily rdist to it from an old machine running bo (2.0). After rdist failed, I discovered that rsh, which rdist uses by default, (and rlogin) are seriously disabled under potato. I guess it's a security feature. Not only are the services disabled in /etc/inetd.conf but the executables /usr/sbin/in.rsh and /usr/bin/in.rlogin don't exist. A search of the available packages with dselect did not turn up anything I could recognize. One option would be to run rdist with ssh, but I also can't find an ssh in the bo archive. For that matter, does potato support rsh? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Yes indeed. Karsten, you have to realize that some people (known as "lurkers") are not quite as comfortable writing to mailing lists as you. It takes a really big problem and then they say, "how do I solve foo." And then they disappear again. When you say "post output of ", you probably have some idea what's going on but want confirmation (otherwise, you'd just be adding noise). So instead of just saying "post output of ", say "if returns foo then do bar, if it returns baz then do quux, otherwise post it and let me have a look at it." The games of 20 questions and gratuitous posts of outputs do not make for interesting reading or even very helpful help to the people that asked in the first place. This is just a suggestion and you in particular do a very good job in helping a lot of people so I hope you can take it in the spirit that it is offered. And of course it is a very general suggestion that I know won't work in all cases. Finally, killfiling lurkers is going to make for a large .procmailrc but is not going to do all that much.

If this is the case I will re-evaulate that decision. As I wrote privately to Mr Ramsey, there is no consistent use of brokers at the Canada-US border. The decision to use a broker is largely up to the shipper, and there is little you can do about it. Complaining to stormix might help, though, as I doubt very much they expect people to have to pay brokerage fees for such a straightforward transaction. Given the NAFTA, one would have imagined that brokers would have dried up; that there are more brokers than ever gives the lie to the "F" in the acronym.

I believe that some time ago X forwarding was disabled by default in ssh. Try "ssh -X". You may want to put this in our .bashrc: alias ssh='ssh -X' Just be aware that the change was made bewcause X forwarding was considered a security risk... Or at least, this is what I remember.

Re: rlogin and rsh for potato?
Hello, On the remote machine, you have to put an entry in the /etc/hosts.equiv file containing the name of your machine (locale !) and your user name. Then you should be able to use rlogin and rsh. There is an rsh client and server package in potato, although ssh is prefered.

You might have to change the /etc/passwd file to do this, just change the fourth field to 100 on the line that starts with your username.

Debian init files are usually pretty standardized. For instance to stop junkbuster, I could say # /etc/init.d/junkbuster stop Or to stop gpm, I could say # /etc/init.d/gpm stop Seeing the pattern? If I didn't want the services to run ever, I would either remove them, e.g. # dpkg --purge xdm or add an "exit 0" to the top of their init.d script after the initial #!/bin/sh.

You can pick up a TNT2 for $50 and with XFree 4.0.1 you > can use NVidia's open source drivers. No offense, but that's a fair amount of incorrect information. 1. ATI does support Linux (XFree86 and utah-glx specifically), and the ATI Rage Pro card specs are fully open and used in utah-glx. The Rage 128 series are also open-spec and X 4.0/DRI drivers have been written. However, these are older, slower cards. Adequate for Quake, maybe Quake III, don't even bother w/QIII. 3D support for the Radeon isn't available for Linux *yet*, but based on ATI's track record I believe them when they say it will be. 2. Nvidia does have open-source drivers, but they are obfuscated, and only work with XF86 3.3.x, not 4.0. They are also slow. My TNT card runs just about half as fast using them compared with the Windows drivers. (Quake framerate ~26FPS Linux, ~60FPS Windows.) The XF86 4.0 drivers for Nvidia are binary, with a small open-source interface layer so they can work with multiple kernels. This is not Nvidia's fault, really, as they licensed technology that they don't have the right to distribute source for. But the upshot is they aren't open-source, and they won't be. But they are the fastest with Linux, right now. 3. Matrox is probably the fastest 3D for Linux with open-source support. There's XF86 4.0 with DRI support, and it should be very quick. I got to play with the 3.3.x version and it was fast enough (barely) for QuakeIII. The 4.0 version should be substantially faster. > As for sound, get a cheap-o Sound Blaster card. Hard to go wrong with that. But I would suggest you look at cards based on the Trident 4DWave chipset. They can be had for as little as $15 and they have a lot of advantages. They are PCI, support multi-open in hardware (multiple apps can play sound at the same time), the specs are fully open so support is very solid, and the sound is clean. Spend $40 and you get SPDIF (digital) output as well. There are some disadvantages you should be aware of, though. Sound capture quality is not what I'd hoped - ample for voice work, not so good for, e.g., recording tapes and burning them onto CDs. I don't think the ISA SB cards would be any better, though a SB Live might be. And Trident's no longer making the chips, so future Windows drivers may be a problem.

Right, I'm not telling people to make bricks without straw: just let people know what their suspicion is and how they would fix it if their suspicion turned out to be true. Obviously, if someone just says, "I can't get X to work" then that information is pretty much useless without the other information of their video card and monitor.

Re: Stormix and Brokerage Fees
The problem is UPS (at least in B.C.). They _will_ act as customs broker for their Canadian shippers and they _will_ charge the recipient a fee unless the shipper is big enough to make other arrangements. I doubt Stormix qualifies. You might suggest to Stormix that they use Canada Post unless the customer specifies (and knows what he's getting into) UPS. The OpenBSD project mails me CDs from Alberta, and they just attach a little customs sticker to the package. If there is a customs charge for the Stormix package, it will always be the same; Stormix will have to pay Canada Post when the package is mailed, and they can collect it from you along with GST when they calculate your total charge. Just depends on how badly they want to do business in the US.

Hi Peter! /etc/modules.conf includes all the names of modules, they are installed into your kernel. I´m not shure whether modconf has generated this file.

First off, I'd like to say that I have no intention or desire to use my box as a mail server, or even have mail delivered on my system.

Right now, when I send a mail from my box at home (I'm sending this message from my school account), the mail headers come up as being sent from "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", which is correct. But what I'd like to do is for exim to mangle the address so that it says that it's being sent from one of my other accounts.

Just curious, but is this any better/worse than doing a

My way seems more straightforward, but I'm not sure about differences in
