Re: Finding/Including sr_mod post install
High, I belive that that module is compiled in into the standard kernel. If not, or if you need it as module anyhow, you must enable scsi-support -> scsi-cdrom-support If you start with a clean .config file and after that make dep; make modules you will find sr_mod.o in /usr/src/linux/modules Copy this file to /lib/modules/2.2.17(or whatever)/scsi If it works then, I do not know.

Went Debian: Spanish Xkeyboard and other issues
Hi all Finally, after many test installs of Potato and Woody, got Potato installed in a more or less usable shape. Thank goodness, my friends, that my decission of going Debian is truly serious, since installation and the aspect of the system once is done is... how to say?... mind-freezing. Never mind. I'll get to love it. Swear. There are, nevertheless, some problems I would appreciate your help to solve: -A Spanish Xkeyboard is not provided or installed. Spanish- HOWTO is outdated (1996) and not debianized. Is there any utility or instructions to install it? -After instalation was finished, I started to upgrade some packages from woody. I've got the 5 unofficial CDs you can get from that hungarian server. Run apt-cdrom add (I think it was that) and worked nicely. Run apt-cache update (I think) Run apt-get install mozilla and worked ok (although installed M14-2 from potato, I thought there was something newer in woody). My frustation started when I tried to upgrade sawmill, task-gnome-desktop and that kind of programs. It always ended similarly: apparently many things changed, but old versions still remained, or worst: it couldn't be because of dependence problems. Resuming my experiment, I tried apt-get dist-upgrade. After several errors and a dselect segfault, all ended up in a dependence problems. My question is: how the hell can you upgrade something more complex than a single file (gnome, a window manager, etc., for example) without a pile of problems? Am I forgetting anything in my hurry to have my system in my old RH times?

Re: swap space and memory
did you install this on debian 2.1? or anything using the 2.0 kernel? from what i remember this was a kernel 2.0 limitation. 124MB reported by the system is normal. 124*1024=126,976kB , add some more for the space the kernel takes up when it loads into memory and any memory used by modules when the system loads and you have 128MB. also bios settings such as shadow can effect how much memory is available. nate Denzil Kelly wrote: > > When I partitioned my hard drive, I noticed that I was > unable to make a swap partition of 128 MB.

truetype fonts present but not working
I'm running xfstt on a testing (migrated from Potato) box. The fonts are loaded in X and I can see them in the Netscape font dialog, but when I switch the them, the font is always the same and it loses all scaling (h1 text is the same size as standard paragraph text). I remember on other distros that one needed a fonts.dir file in the truetype directory created by ttmkfdir, which I've been unable to locate via apt-cache search. Would this be the case or is it something else? This happens with any truetype font, and the font that is actually displayed is always the same font (not sure which -- I'm assuming it's just a fall back). Anyone have any suggestions? -Rob

Note that woody is now the 'testing' distribution, and for various reasons it's quite a long way behind unstable at the moment. mozilla may currently be missing. mozilla M18-3 is in potato now; try pointing apt at the potato archives on the net as well, as those may be more up-to-date than your CDs. >My frustation started when I tried to upgrade sawmill, >task-gnome-desktop and that kind of programs.

Quite often you do have to sort out dependencies, but in my experience (as a dselect user, at least) it's usually not that hard. If you have complex dependencies to resolve then apt-get isn't really the right tool for the job; maybe you could try one of the apt front-ends like console-apt or aptitude if you're having problems with dselect. It might be helpful to know that sawmill has been renamed to sawfish for trademark reasons, though again I'm not sure if this is in 'testing' yet. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: swap space and memory
Initially I installed a slink on this box, and at the time I had 64 MB of RAM however I was unable to make a swap partition of 128 MB. I later added another 64 MB of RAM. I tried to resize my /home partition but something went wrong and I wound up reformatting the hard drive, and installed storm, then mandrake for a few weeks. Mandrake allowed me to make a swap partition of 128 MB. When I got the debian 2.2(potato) cd's, I reformatted and installed potato which is what I'm using now. The reason I was concerned is because I've noticed that after about 9-11 days of running this box crashes, and forces me to restarts. I was wondering if this might have been the problem. debian kernel: VM: do_try_to_free_pages failed for kswapd... This is the message that is generated after the crash. --- Nate Amsden <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > did you install this on debian 2.1? or anything > using the 2.0 kernel? > from what i remember this was a kernel 2.0 > limitation. 124MB > reported by the system is normal. 124*1024=126,976kB > , add > some more for the space the kernel takes up when it > loads into > memory and any memory used by modules when the > system loads > and you have 128MB. also bios settings such as > shadow can > effect how much memory is available. > > nate > > Denzil Kelly wrote: > > > > When I partitioned my hard drive, I noticed that I > was > > unable to make a swap partition of 128 MB.

maybe part of the problem is that you are replying to the mail keeping the original mail in the message body. it probably doesn't make a difference but i make sure that the message has only what the list software wants nothing more, no signature, no strange characters, not even an extra space in the message. nate Brian McGroarty wrote: > > On Thu, Dec 21, 2000 at 12:38:59AM -0800, Nate Amsden wrote: > > one of my friends came to me with something similar, i told him it > > worked he didn't believe me so i subscribed and unsubscribed in a > > matter of 5 minutes. > > I've had no trouble in the past, but now I'm having similar problems > with every Debian list I try to remove myself from. > > Something seems to have broken recently. > > See example session: > > Envelope-to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Delivery-date: Thu, 21 Dec 2000 07:37:47 -0600 > Date: 21 Dec 2000 13:37:46 - > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] > In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > X-Loop: debian-www@lists.debian.org > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Precedence: junk > > You have not been removed, I couldn't find your name on the list. > What I did find were the following approximate matches: > > 206 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 32746 [EMAIL PROTECTED] > 46 [EMAIL PROTECTED]20815 [EMAIL PROTECTED] > 200 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 20062 [EMAIL PROTECTED] > 79 [EMAIL PROTECTED]17285 [EMAIL PROTECTED] > 110 [EMAIL PROTECTED]17285 [EMAIL PROTECTED] > 205 [EMAIL PROTECTED]17285 [EMAIL PROTECTED] > 27 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 16442 [EMAIL PROTECTED] > 7 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 16387 [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > If you recognise one of these addresses as being the one you wanted to > unsubscribe, send in a new unsubscribe request containing the text: > unsubscribe the_address_you_meant. > > If this wasn't your intention or you are having problems getting > yourself unsubscribed, reply to this mail now (quoting it entirely > (for diagnostic purposes), and of course adding any comments you see > fit). > > If you see below an automated text with a reason like bounced > messages, please just resubscribe to the lists you want to be on when > the mail problems which resulted in the forced unsubscription by the > listmasters are solved. > > Transcript of unsubscription request follows: > -- > >From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Dec 21 07:37:45 2000 > >X-Envelope-Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >Received: (qmail 22575 invoked from network); 21 Dec 2000 13:37:45- > >Received: from dsl-64-193-169-237.telocity.com ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) > > by murphy.debian.org with SMTP; 21 Dec 2000 13:37:45 - > >Received: from snowfox by dsl-64-193-169-237.telocity.com with local (Exim > >3.20+#1 (Debian)) > > id 1495ui-6m-00 > > for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Thu, 21 Dec 2000 07:37:44 -0600 > >Date: Thu, 21 Dec 2000 07:37:44 -0600 > >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >Mime-Version: 1.0 > >Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii > >Content-Disposition: inline > >From: Brian McGroarty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >X-Diagnostic: Tried to confirm unsubscription > >Subject: unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > >On Thu, Dec 21, 2000 at 01:37:35PM -, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > >> You have requested that the following address: > >> > >>[EMAIL PROTECTED] > >> > >> be deleted from the debian-www mailing list. > >> > >> You have NOT yet been unsubscribed from the list. > >> To unsubscribe you need to confirm your unsubscription > >> request by sending email to the address: > >> > >> [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >> > >> with the Subject string: > >> > >> CONFIRM u122107373422540 > >> > >> With a reasonable good email program a reply to this > >> message should be sufficient > >> > >> When your confirm message has been received the above listed address > >> will be (un)subscribed.

Yup. You best bet is to completely wipe kde and reinstall 2.0.

Getting a point release via http without apt
Hi - just a quickie: I recently bought a Debian 2.2r0 6-cd source+binary set from cheep(?)linux, and I'd like to get hold of only those packages which have changed in either r1 or r2. The only internet connection I've got is from a windows machine with CD writer, so I was wondering if anyone could point me towards one easy download which I could burn onto CD and point APT at, and update my r0 machine all the way to r2. I'd prefer to get precompiled i386 binaries, but the source would be fine if binaries aren't out there . . Any help'd be much appreciated! cheers, jc

Re: Went Debian: Spanish Xkeyboard and other issues
On 22 Dec 00, at 9:06, Colin Watson wrote: > The task-spanish package is probably the best place to start. ...snipped Many thanks for your help, Colin. Task-spanish is supposedly installed, and "Spanish" indicated as language in all the concerning questions during the installation. When your Xkeyboard is asked during X configuration, Spanish is not offered in the list. First time, I selected "none" expecting to be able to correct that lately, but X refused to start. Next time I installed potato, selected "US-International" and could use the system at least. I hope this question will be easily solved by some Spanish Debian user (there are a few in the list, very helpful all of them). The number of dependence problems which arose from my updating attempts was so high that it would be an abuse to bother the list with them. I've been adviced against unofficial woody CD- images, and maybe the problem is that I've got packages needing Gnome 1.0.5 which cannot be upgraded to the versions which would work with Gnome 1.2. Maybe there are are in woody now, but not in my CDs (although they were downloaded this last monday). Unfortunately, upgrading my home system (the concerned one, since I only have direct connection to the Internet here in the work, where I'm obliged to use Windows --not for long, I hope) via a ppp connection is unaffordable for me. There is one thing in your message, nonetheless, which surprises me: Mozilla M18 being in potato now. When I was preparing my migration to Debian, I was told in the group that there are not updates to potato (save security fixes). All updates go to woody, and I would never get gnome 1.2, XFree 4, KDE2, etc. for potato. Wasn't that true? Finally, I believe I'm going to freshly install potato to start from a "brand new" system, and will try to upgrade packages step by step using dselect. I've been trying it, and it's daunting, since debian packages are quite different from RedHat's, but I believe I'll manage.

I enabled kernel level auto config, and all the NFS stuff I could find in the kernel build (serveral iterations using xconfig, menuconfig, config and finally hand hacking the .config file) couldn't find the NFS_ROOT option anywhere, and I'm loath to just add it to the .config, not knowing if it's supported in 2.2.17 Any Ideas, -Jon

"Choppy" sound - Woody, 2.4.0-test11 kernel, xmms & esd
I don't seem to be the only one having this problem, but I have isolated a test case: Hardware: SoundBlaster AWE64 ISA PnP, IDE drives Distro: Debian Potato + Woody etc. etc. etc. Kernel: 2.2.18pre21 and 2.4.0-test11 (from debian kernel-source packages) Sound:OSS/Lite SB16/AWE32 drivers configured as kernel modules XMMS: xmms 1.2.4-helix1 ESD: esound 0.2.20-2 esound-common 0.2.22-2 libesd00.2.20-2 1) Under kernel 2.2.18pre21, XMMS can play using the eSound plugin (i.e. via esd) quite happily. (although I get kernel messages at random about DMA timeout to sound card thru possible IRQ conflicts, which I traced to heavy disk utilisation periods and therefore something up the spout with my ide config - everything else on the system "freezes" at the same time also) 2) Under kernel 2.4.0-test11, XMMS->eSound still works, but the sound is "choppy" - broken up into audible chunks. No amount of tweaking the eSound plugin's buffering or pre-load settings will eliminate this, however it's possible to make it far, far worse. Under this scenario, "normal" Gnome events will play thru esd fine (no choppiness) - basically anything that's passed to esd as a file is OK, but stream playback suffers the chop. Using XMMS->OSS Driver also plays back audio just fine but requires esd to be put into standby. My question is therefore: Can anyone else reproduce this, and can anyone *fix* this? (tweaks to esound / XMMS settings perhaps?) I have tried loading /dev/shm as suggested in the kernel documentation since I thought it possible XMMS was communicating to ESD via shared memory.

I think you are right nate. When I started with Linux a couple years ago, the 2.0 series was current (like 2.0.36 or something). It was then that I read in a how-to that even if you make a really big swap partition, only 128MB would be used.

Re: I need a filter for Epson Stylus Color 400
What is the mechanism for setting up a printer on Debian? I installed Debian recently but haven't had the time to configure it yet (so I'm still using RH). In RH I run printtool as root and it handles the details of printer config. It lists filters for Epson printers "Epson Sylus 800 & ESC/P 2 printers" and "Epson Stylus Color (UP)". If either of these are close enough to your printer I could set it up on my system and send you the config files.

Kernel 2.4.0-test12
Hi all.. Just curious if there is something different with the latest test kernel? I was running test10 and decided to try out test12 with a fresh potato -> woody install. I've compiled many kernels, but this latest time I have run into a little snag. Seems my modules do not work. I have done a make modules && make modules_install and they are installed for sure, but my new modules.dep is empty (i.e 0 bytes), and I can't modprobe any of my modules.. every time I do I get something like module XXX.o not found. I've followed the same procedure as with every kernel, and this one is a mystery to me. I have everything set to yes in the Loadable Modules support section, and I even tried with kernel module loader off to see if that would do anything... So, anyone have any suggestions? I'm stumped.. Thanks.. JP
configuring network card solved.
just FYI for all the newbies who were trying to figure out how to configure the network card. the easiest way I found was to reinstall the whole system. The installation program is very easy to use and sets up all the files. (It is also very easy to miss). I re-reinstalled again lastnight and there it was; network card, gateway, hostname, IP, nameservers.. I'm surprised that debian doesn't have this installation program available after installation is completed so that we can go back and change/add network settings.. xucaen __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

There could be conflicts of that form, yes. The newer versions might well be in the unstable distribution; a *lot* of upgraded versions of packages aren't in woody due to depending on glibc 2.2, which won't build on all architectures yet. dselect will give you details about conflicts, once you get used to it, and of course assuming it doesn't segfault. >There is one thing in your message, nonetheless, which surprises >me: Mozilla M18 being in potato now.

The general rule is that stable releases such as potato don't get any new code, only critical bug fixes like security updates. However, when the first (I think, or maybe the second) point release of potato was being prepared, the release manager said that he thought it would be nice to put in a very few new or much-improved packages that lots of people want, provided absolutely that they're standalone and that they don't break anything else. The things you mention are right out: they're large, complex, and lots of stuff depends on them. mozilla M18 was selected for inclusion, though, as I believe was console-apt. >Finally, I believe I'm going to freshly install potato to start from a >"brand new" system, and will try to upgrade packages step by step >using dselect.

What is the file name of the ps2 mouse driver?
I need the name of the ps2 mouse driver file. I am having difficulty with a new install. The mouse works in X but not on the console. I set up the XF86Setup configs with the same setting I used for gpm, & X works fine. Xterm does not. I do not see any driver listed in /lib/modules/kernelXXX/misc/ for the mouse. I did set it up and compile it as a module. Boot up shows detecting ps2 port. Thanks! John

Re: What is the file name of the ps2 mouse driver?
I think the problem here is gpm being unconfigured, rather than X and it not playing together nicely. Run gpmconfig to configure gpm. /dev/psaux is the device file associated with a ps/2 mouse. Like ktb said, you need to stop gpm before you'll be able to use the mouse in X, so, in essence, you trading in one problem for another. -Rob On Fri, Dec 22, 2000 at 09:28:28AM -0600, ktb wrote: > On Fri, Dec 22, 2000 at 09:09:29AM -0600, John Foster wrote: > > I need the name of the ps2 mouse driver file.

All of the mirrors are making a few switches right now. Testing is now being implemented as are package pools. It is quite possible that some mirrors are slower at making these changes than others.

Jeez... calm down... Did I *say* that *anyone* was doing *anything* wrong? It
was my honest assumption that it might have had something to do with certain

Q: Hiding M$ Exchange behind a firewall ?
Hello to all! What I want to do: Hiding a M$-Exchange-server behind a Debian-based firewall running ipchains (with masqerading) and squid and ???. Here is my special problem. What is the configuration: Through an old little Cisco 1003 router the connection to internet is done. Then I run a Debian-Box with 2 interfaces. One for the DMZ and one for internal net. In the internal net users are served by exchanger-server. What I tried: Using sendmail as MTA to do the transfer between the DMZ and internal net. It was driving me creazy with all his antirelaying stuff. This can be a problem of just not understanding the matters. I've running in an other environment sendmail with virtual users and masquerading of domains, serving several users through IMPA-server, but as an endpoint in the transfer-chain. So some very basic understanding I have how to handle sendmail. What do I need: 1. I don't know what software I should run on the firewall to catch all incoming smtp-traffic and deliver it to the internal net -> Exchange-server and vice versa. The exchange server understands only smtp. 2. In which way should it be done ? Installing an MTA (which one?)on the Debian-box or to transfer all traffic directly to the internal net by forwarding(how to do this ?). Please can you give me some hints in which direction I should investigate ? I'm shure some of you have solved this problem already. Best regards Michael -- Michael Steiner, Minorgasse 35, A-1140 Vienna, Austria
Re: Q: Hiding M$ Exchange behind a firewall ?
I can't give you an exact answer, but I can suggest that you run some kind of IDS or packet monitor for a couple of days/weeks, and monitor traffic at each interface. 'snort' would be my number one pick if you don't already have an IDS. Generally, snort isn't used as a packet monitor , but it has awesome logging features. hope this helps thx, -robt Michael Steiner wrote: > > Hello to all! > > What I want to do: > Hiding a M$-Exchange-server behind a Debian-based firewall running > ipchains (with masqerading) and squid and ???.

Just to make it clear, I already sent a note to Rob, I was *NOT*
trying to "exert my alpha geek status" (good one!:)). I just wanted to
point out that Rob's post wasn't really helpful in finding out what
the problem was. As always, email is lousy for expressing emotion, or
lack thereof as in this case.
Anyway, I've had some rather unpleasant correspondences with the list
maintainers (two were unpleasant anyway, one was quite friendly). They
are aware of the problem and will get around to looking into it.
By the way the unpleasantness was my own fault for sending email to
their personal email addresses instead of
[EMAIL PROTECTED] It wasn't clear to me that the listmaster
address was working since nobody here said they'd heard anything
back. I apologize to the list maintainers, again.

Before reformatting the harddisk I did a dpkg --get-selections and backed up /etc. This is what does the trick, since all configuration files are kept in /etc. I decided to clean up the system a little, so I did not push the seleciton list back in to dpkg (dpkg --set-selections), but if you want the system to be identical to the one you had before, running dpkg --set-selections and initialing the install process (e.g. by running dselect) should give you the same system as before. Replace the system's /etc directory with your backup and you should be all set. Cheers -- Stephan
Re: "Choppy" sound - Woody, 2.4.0-test11 kernel, xmms & esd
FWIW, Usually when the sound skips like that, there's a problem with the dma or irq setup on the board itself when you loaded the module. That's the angle that I would take. -- It's a shame that a family can be torn apart by something as simple as wild dogs.

Hi,
I recently switched from RedHat 6.2 to potato and my cdrom seems to have the
following problems :
Most of the time I get errors like :
hdb: irq timeout: status=0xc0 { Busy }
hdb: ATAPI reset complete
Sometimes I also get errors like :
attempt to access beyond end of device
03:40: rw=0, want=33, limit=0
dev 03:40 blksize=1024 blocknr=32 sector=64 size=1024 count=1
isofs_read_super: bread failed, dev=03:40, iso_blknum=16, block=32
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom,
or too many mounted file systems
(aren't you trying to mount an extended partition,
instead of some logical partition inside?)
And often it works too !
The CDROM is 44x IDE cdrom.
The didn't happen in redhat so I expect it is a configuration problem of some
srt . Could you please guide me to the appropriate literature or give a tip or
two ?
Sincerely
Balbir Thomas

Re: Finding/Including sr_mod post install
Before recompiling it would be nice to try: # modprobe ide-scsi # modprobe sg cdrecord might automatically load the "sg" module. As a cd-rom, the cd-writer can be mounted as /dev/scd0 (or the infamous /dev/sr0). You might also need to add the following to your /etc/lilo.conf (not sure; I use grub): append=" hdc=ide-scsi" where /dev/hdc is your cd-writer (YMMV). ZIP / LS120 driver owners might need a few more tricks to achieve IDE / SCSI harmony. Nothing which the unloading / loading of modules won't fix.

Correct me if I am wrong . The CDROM is a slave to the primary IDE drive so I
would expect it would be hdb.

Woody dselect Woes
Hi, I have a Debian system running Woody that I am having big problems with re: dselect and updating it. I was in the middle of updating the system with dselect when I attempted to background the dselect process in order to do something that was suggested by the output from one of the packages that was being configured. Any way, to make a long story short, I somehow managed to hang the system and had to (gulp) push the reset button. After reboot, things were a mess. I now have a bunch of half-configured packages, and a bunch more that won't install due to dependency problems. The biggest problem seems to involve getting debconf configured. When its configuration runs, I get the following: Use of reserved word "our" is deprecated at /usr/lib/perl5/Debconf/Gettext.pm line 19. Bareword "our" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at /usr/lib/perl5/Debconf/Gettext.pm line 19. Unquoted string "our" may clash with future reserved word at /usr/lib/perl5/Debconf/Gettext.pm line 19. Array found where operator expected at /usr/lib/perl5/Debconf/Gettext.pm line 19, at end of line (Do you need to predeclare our?) Global symbol "@EXPORT" requires explicit package name at /usr/lib/perl5/Debconf/Gettext.pm line 19. syntax error at /usr/lib/perl5/Debconf/Gettext.pm line 19, near "our @EXPORT" BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/lib/perl5/Debconf/Template.pm line 7.

I admit that I'm hardly a Linux power user, and I'm totally at a loss as to how to fix this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Tom
Starup script - how can I make it start later? (Firestarter)
I need to start a script containing ipchains settings derived freom Firestarter. The docs suggest I start the script in /etc/rc.x. If I do this, on boot up I get error messages which do not occur if I run the script after the system has rebooted. This leads me to summise that the script is starting too early. How can I make sure it is the last thing to run on boot up? Anyone else using Firstarter? The script is firewall.sh and contains ipchains references. I can try it again and copy over the error messages I receive on boot, but I don't know how to get these messages again to copy - they appear during boot up but they are not in /var/log/messages or /var/log/system. -- Phillip Deackes Using Storm Linux 2000
How to track *part* of unstable?
Greetings, all. I'm still fairly new to debian, so I'm not all that familiar with dpkg, dselect, and apt. Is there a way to track the unstable branch for only certain packages? I'd like to install the unstable version of gnucash. I downloaded the .deb and tried an apt-get install, but it failed due to a number of unsatisfied dependencies. Most of these dependencies simply required later versions of packages that I've already installed---from potato. Ideally, I'd like to be able to use dselect to grab this version of gnucash and satisfy its dependencies, but I want to leave the rest of my system at stable, where it is now. Is there a good way to do this? The only thing I can think of is keeping two sources.list files, one for stable and the other for unstable, and switching them out as necessary. Is there a better way? (Also, and forgive me for asking this, but please CC me directly on any responses. I've subscribed to this list and received confirmation of my subscription, but I'm not receiving any of the list traffic, and I'm not sure why.) Thanks much, Richard

irq timeouts error-cdrom ?
Hi,
I recently switched from RedHat 6.2 to potato. I have a IDE 44x cdrom that is
giving the following errors (which did not happen previously)
1) Most of the time the error is :
hdb: irq timeout: status=0xc0 { Busy }
hdb: ATAPI reset complete
2) Sometime I also see some thing like this :

dev 03:40 blksize=1024 blocknr=32 sector=64 size=1024 count=1

cdrom: open failed.

VFS: Disk change detected on device ide0(3,64)

I am not very experienced in these matter and can't figure what is going wrong.
Could you please give me a tip or two on what to do, or direct me to the

Sorry about this repost, I forgot to put the subject on the last one.

Re: How to track *part* of unstable?
I don't think that can be done. Woody (unstable) is based on glibc 2.2 while potato is based on glibc 2.1. Thus any binaries for woody that use the C library at all won't run (even if you get them to install) on potato. You could probably upgrade the libc independent of the rest of the system though (since it is binary backwards compatible). The other thing you will want to be careful of is dependencies. Gnucash depends on guile and maybe a couple of other libs. Other apps/libs may also depend on those libs. If those needed libs aren't backwards compatible you may inadvertantly break other parts of your system. I think it would be best for you to try and find a source package and build it on your system. If gnucash itself (not the prebuilt package) doesn't require newer libs this is the best route. -D On Fri, Dec 22, 2000 at 01:35:28PM -0600, Richard Cobbe wrote: > Greetings, all. > > I'm still fairly new to debian, so I'm not all that familiar with dpkg, > dselect, and apt. > > Is there a way to track the unstable branch for only certain packages?

Is gnucash_1.4.8 new enough for you? If so, just install Helix Gnome from http://www.helixcode.com/. Running Potato, Helix is the best way to get new Gnome/GTK packages. I'm not sure if gnucash is included by default, but if you don't want most of the other packages, just use the base gnome installation option; that will give you most of what gnucash will be dependant on. After the base installation just apt-get install gnucash. Simple enough? -Rob
Re: Starup script - how can I make it start later? (Firestarter)
I haven't done this yet, but I have a feeling that when I finish installing Debian I will be playing with the rc?.d scripts. The scripts are actually symlinks to the real scripts. The symlinks have a name like [KS][0-9][0-9][a-zA-Z]+ The symlinks that start with S are for startup and the ones with K are for shutdown. The 2-digit number tells the system which order to run the scripts. The text after the number is the name of the service. If you increase the number, it will start later. It would be a good idea to read the docs first. There is a program called sysconf or some similar name that is used to keep the init system in sync. Check the archives or wait for the other gurus to explain it better than me.
