problems upgrading to 2.2r4
Hi, I am having difficulties upgrading to version 2.2r4. I ran $ apt-get update $ apt-get -u dist-upgrade and the following error keeps coming up : You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these. Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: python-gnome: Depends: libglade-gnome0 but it is not installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f. when I try to install libglade-gnome0 I always get the following error: $ apt-get install libglade-gnome0 Preparing to replace libc6-dev 2.1.3-13 (using .../libc6-dev_2.1.3-19_i386.deb) ... dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute old pre-removal script: Permission denied dpkg: warning - old pre-removal script returned error exit status 2 dpkg - trying script from the new package instead ... dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute new pre-removal script: Permission denied dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6-dev_2.1.3-19_i386.deb (--unpack): subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 2 dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute post-installation script: Permission denied dpkg: error while cleaning up: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2 even if I try not to install python-gnome (using dselect for example) or run $ dpkg -f install I always get similar errors (Permission denied) $ dpkg --remove --pending (Reading database ... 18378 files and directories currently installed.)

Remote console administration
Hello,i tried the vtgrab package and didn't suceeded much in supervising other consoles. Well,i have several computers,linux gateways to small lans,and the ppl that sit on them aren't specialized for the root job,so i must know almost all the time what is happening there. I am wondering what tools are to inform me remotely somehow when and what they are doing when they're logging in as root. Btw,how can i mail each 5 or so minutes the .bash_history of root and send it to my central mail.? i am thinking in installing snort everywhere,but then how do i grep through the logs and send the attacks to me..? Well,this is my problem,how can i know somehow summarized what's hapening on those boxes..? i am not that good at shell programming so..all help it will be appreciated. Thx, Dani. __ Do You Yahoo!?

getting meaningful access logs
Hi all, got a funny one here I run a local community news website, I've got a monitor running a tail of the access.log to keep an eye on what people are getting up to, because I don't want each page read filling the whole screen with details of gif downloads I have in the past used $tail -f var/log/apache/access.log | grep php to make sure I'm only getting page reads now that we've moved the site to a proper server with it's own domain though the server is properly set up so that www.foo.foo (for example) brings up the index.php page. the problem is that these front page hits don't get logged as php pages, just straight "GET / HTTP/1.0" this isn't just a problem for what I stream on the monitor, I used to grep out the meaningful files from the access.log to create a file for doing analysis on, the raw access.log being filled with gif and jpg hits to say nothing of java scrollers, not to mention code red and nimda hits. i've tried: $tail -f /var/log/apache/access.log |grep "[php|/ HTTP]" (still get everything) $tail -f /var/log/apache/access.log |grep -v "[jpg|gif]" (get nothing) $tail -f /var/log/apache/access.log |grep -v gif |grep -v jpg (also get nothing) at the moment I'm using $tail -f /var/log/apache/access.log |grep -v gif which is at least somewhat readable on the monitor but still won't yeild good analysis I'm sure it's just a little thing I'm doing wrong in grep (regexp is outside of my skilset) does anyone have any ideas?

XFree86 Configuration - Modelines
I'm trying to Get XFree86 configured. I've used xf86config and XF86Setup the former being more complete with regard to Video and Modelines and the Latter with its graphic interface allowed me to find my mouse. Problem: My display only runs "320x200" completely non-functional on a 17" Monitor. I'm trying t correct the situation by adding the correct modelnes. My monitor will report the Vsync and Hsync rates in the various dpi modes. (got them from windows on my dual boot machine -- yes I'm a newbie trying to figure out linux on an old machine) I got my clock speed with -probeonly but does the clock speed change (clock speed is the first argument on modeline after the screen resolution?) Am I on the right path or barking up the wrong tree?

Print problems with CUPS
Ok, I tried searching the archives and nothing came up. I'm not even sure if the archive search is working. Even a general term such as "print" brings up nothing. I'm using CUPS 1.1.10 (in sid) with the EPSON Stylus Color 400 GIMP-Print v4.1.99b1 driver. The first job prints perfectly, any job after that I get the error "Back-channel read error - Input/Output error!" The only way I've found to fix this is to turn of the printer, reboot the computer, then turn the computer back on. Other things I've tried that didn't work: disabling then enabling the printer in admin, restarting cupsd, cycling the printer on and off doesn't work without a reboot, and a reboot on it's own doesn't work either. I'm completely stumped. I'm not subscribed so please reply-to me. -Rob

There are other applications that obviously don't like large files (even though the file should not need to be opened, just listed). Perhaps they use 'long' for tracking filesize or something (and I have no desire of checking all standard utils like ls, find, ...). What's the average "stability" of a woody "snapshot" at some time? Do people use it for productions servers normaly, and are there any special concerns/coutions that have to be taken when running woody? // Emil
Novell NDS certification for Internet access
Hello, I have a Debian box that sits behind several firewalls and other layers of protection, the same as all our workstations here. The firewall lets people trough at a certain port. I'm told, by those more knowledgeable in these matters, that it lets people trough only if thet are logged in and can be certified as having Internet access against Novell's NDS (yes, this is a Novell network). Of course, no one can figure out how to let our Debian machine trough without explicitly excempting it's IP from the restrictions of the firewall. Needless to say, that prefer not to do that. My questions shows clearly that networks, and Novell in particular, isn't my strong side, so please forgive my ignorance if these sound stupid: Is there something like a Novell Client available for Debian, or Linux at all, except for the one from Caldera which you have to pay for? If not, is there some other way we could let the NDS know who we are without actually logging on to a server? - IT

Thank you both very much. Lprng certainly seems to be the culprit. I have the version from `testing' (3.8.0). nmap shows: Starting nmap V. 2.54BETA30 ( www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) Interesting ports on MY-REAL-IP (The 65527 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed) Port State Service 9/tcp opendiscard 13/tcp opendaytime 22/tcp openssh 25/tcp opensmtp 37/tcp opentime 487/tcpopensaft 515/tcpopenprinter 5865/tcp openunknown Port 5865 is where junkbuster normally runs, I think, so I don't see anything very suspicious here.

You should note that the system has changed quite a bit, and there are better ways to do a lot of things now. For instance, the INPUT chain now refers only to locally-destined packets. Similarly, the OUTPUT chain only deals with locally-generated packets. I also changed your FORWARD policy to ACCEPT to keep things mostly the same as your original setup. Here's how I'd prefer to see you set this up under iptables, though: EXTIF=ppp+ INTIF=eth0 LOCALNET=192.168.0.0/27 iptables -P INPUT DROP iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT iptables -P FORWARD DROP iptables -F INPUT iptables -F OUTPUT iptables -F FORWARD # allow incoming packets that are part of established outbound # connections. This includes icmp packets necessary for good operation # (i.e. fragmentation-needed) and convenience (pong and time-exceeded) but # only as "replies" -- inbound pings, etc. will be dropped. iptables -A INPUT -j ACCEPT -i $EXTIF -s ! $LOCALNET\ -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED #Do masquerading iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE # allow the forwarded traffic to pass iptables -A FORWARD -j ACCEPT -i $INTIF -o $EXTIF \ -s $LOCALNET -d ! $LOCALNET iptables -A FORWARD -j ACCEPT -i $EXTIF -i $INTIF \ -s ! $LOCALNET -d $LOCALNET \ -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED # let everyone know ident is closed (speeds up some mail connections) iptables -A INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with tcp-reset \ -i $EXTIF -s ! $LOCALNET -p tcp --dport ident #set packets to be logged before being DROPped by policy iptables -A INPUT -j LOG iptables -A FORWARD -j LOG As you can see, connection tracking makes everything beautiful =) this way you get the recommended drop-by-default filter set up and it's very easy to allow your return traffic (i.e. no more checking for SYNs, priviliged ports, pings, etc. explicitly). The setup I gave here is untested (just made it off the top of my head) so please give it a good inspection before employing it. (Hopefully someone else on the list will point out if I made an egregious blunder.)

IANAG, but I can give a few pointers. At a shell prompt, you can remove
the single quotes from stdin in this situation in a couple of ways:
| sed -e "s/'\(.*\)'/\1/"
That removes the ticks from the first single-quoted expression in a
line. Simpler still (to just remove any ticks):
| tr -d "'"
for your particular case, though, to just avoid having to use a temp
file, and given that it doesn't complain about getting single quotes
anyway, just tell wget to read from stdin by specifying - as its input
file:
apt-get install $yourpackages --print-uris -y --reinstall | tail +5 |
awk '{print $1} | wget -i -

My guess is that X4 doesn't use the same frequensies that X3 did. Since it doesn't need (use?) modelines I think there are some "hardcoded" modes built in. The brutal fix I did was to increase VertRefresh slightly, but like the config file says, it can break your monitor. I'v puched my monitors far beyond what the're built for without breaking any though, it just gives you a totaly useless flickering picture, or flash on and off trying to set the mode. If you do increase your settings, (like always) you have been warned!! Btw, the modelines you included bellow don't include the 1280x1024 resolution, the highest I can find is "1152x864".

The first rule matches any line with any of the following characters in it: p h | / H T P which is everything. The second rule matches any line not containing any of j p g | i f . You see my point.

re: added memory, increase swap?
Thanks, everyone, for all the help. I checked the memory use (using "free") with Mozilla and a few other programs running. Memory use never went much above 85MB out of a total of about 250) , so I don't have to increase the swap partition, at least for now. And I will try removing unnecessary software with dselect. I was hesitant to do this. I guess I still have a "Windows" mindset because so often I was unable to uninstall things cleanly. I would always end up reloading the operating system. I got used to doing this several times a year. Hehe! Mozilla is still a bit slow on my Pentium 200, so I'll try Galeon and other browsers. The worst of it is typing. I'm using Mozilla to compose this email and although I'm not an extremely fast typist I'm finding that my keystrokes get ahead of the program's ability to display the letters. Very disconcerting! I end up making lots of mistakes! I'll have to check out other email programs as well. Thanks, Peter Christensen I have a P133 with 80MB RAM. I wouldn't even think about using Mozilla. Opera is a nice lightweight browser and I sometimes use konqueror to browse (but I don't use KDE). For emailing I strongly (and a lot of people on this list will agree) recommend exim/fetchmail/(procmailif you ned to)/mutt. It is diffenrent to use but after a while you'll get used to it. Configuration of my mail system was very easy, the Debian installation did configure exim very well. All I had to do was to configure fetchmail with fetchmailconfig. If your look for a graphica MUA try kmail or balsa. Frank --

multithreading sounds
Hello. When I was still using RedHat Linux, I remember that it was possible to multithread the sounds (playing multiple sound files is possible, as threads are instantiated to use the sound device). As I upgraded my machine and motherboard and switched to Debian, I can't anymore multithread the sound. Playing one sound file locks the sound card device solely for the requesting process. Question: how do I fix this, to enable multiple processes requesting the sound device to multi-thread? Or is it outside Linux already? I'm really interested to find out since I'll be using my machine for a multi-media demo, specifically playing Xinerama, Xtheater and XMMS concurrently, without any of these applications to be treated as a heavy-weight process, effectively locking the sound device to any of them. I suspect also that if it is not the OS, then it might be the BIOS that is the culprit. Does IRQ sharing have anything to do with this? I noticed also that my same setup doesn't play the sounds in Windows (it mentions that the sound card is in use though there is no user process requesting it). Any enlightenment would be appreciated (as well as will give me enough time to re-hack BIOS or send my box to the repair shop before the demo on Tuesday). Thanks! Paolo Falcone __ www.edsamail.com

Aaagh. I just composed the reply and then closed Evolution before sending or saving as a Draft. Here's the abbreviated version: Easy install: ReiserFS boot disks: http://www.digitaltux.com/ This makes installing ReiserFS on / dead easy. If you want to stay with stable Adrian Bunk has a solution for 2.4 kernels: http://www.fs.tum.de/~bunk/kernel-24.html Since you want the latest software you might want to consider `unstable'. Being an experienced user you'll be able to deal with problems (e.g. if you need to downgrade a package). And it's more secure than testing.* If you do upgrade remember to do it in two steps. First add testing to your sources.list and then do an apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade -u Repeat for unstable if you want to upgrade to the latest software. Regards, Adam *The lag for packages to make their way into testing from unstable is eliminated. So most security fixes will make their way into unstable faster than testing.

Realtek module don't want to be loaded! Is too busy... ;)
Hi there, I'm having problems on getting my pcmcia card to work on Debian. Already compiled RTL8139 as module from kernel and installed pcmcia-cs tarball. In my opinion, problem is from rtl8139 module: $ insmod rtl8139 /lib/modules/2.2.14/net/rtl8139.o: init_module: Device or resource busy On linux boot I'm able to hear high and low tones so it seems the card is detected. I'd also copied /lib/modules/2.2.14/net/rtl8139.o to /lib/modules/2.2.14/pcmcia/realtek_cb.o Where's the problem ? Thanks in advance.

Dangling man page sym links
G'Day everyone, I have an issue when I try to do a man on a particular command I get a, warning that 'man ctags.emacs is a dangling sym link' and 'man ctags.emacs no such file' ( you have to excuse me.. Im not on my Debiam box right now) . I have found the symlink and deleted it, and the problem went away for a little while, but now its back. Could someone please point me in the right direction, on how to update any changes to the man pages etc etc I think all this has resulted from update/ removal of some software. I am sorry for the vagueness. I am using Potato. BTW thankyou all for your help on the foobar question and . Here's an obscure one for you. What's the word related to foobar that starts with a "t"? It was coined under the same circumstances as foobar and snafu were, I think world war II communications. If you can't figure it out, I'll tell you. Mike -- Michael D. Crawford Please Micheal, Don't keep us in suspense! Cheers, Martin :-)

pppconfig still not working
I've been trying to get pppconfig set up to run with my ISP mapie.csx.cam.ac.uk - it's an internal univerisity system. I have no problems getting in from windows with just a username, password and phonenumber. I'm trying to use dynamic DNS - although I know the server's IP address I don't have a file /etc/resolv.conf, I know it supports PAP in conjunction with PPP and I'm leaving the port speed at it's recommended level - it probes ttyS0 and ttyS1 withut finding the modem, but I know from the windows partition that it's on ttyS2 (ie. com3) and I'm not even worrying about the advanced options cos all I'm trying to do at the moment is update my system as root. When I try and run pon (as root) I'm getting the messages pppd 2.3.11 started by root, uid 0 Connect script failed Exit I've now got this damn laptop sitting in front of me at work, and would love to get this sorted out pronto. Thanks for any help. -- srt

Fritz!Card PCI ISDN adapter and Woody..
Hi All I am trying to get the AVM Fritz!Card PCI ISDN adapter to work with my Woody system. I've built a custom 2.4.14 Kernel with the HiSax module and have installed the fcpci driver from the AVM website. So far it is working, the system recognizes the card during boot: | CAPI-driver Rev 1.21.6.8: loaded | capifs: Rev 1.14.6.8 | capi20: started up with major 68 | kcapi: capi20 attached | capi20: Rev 1.44.6.15: started up with major 68 (middleware+capifs) | fcpci: AVM FRITZ!Card PCI driver, revision 0.1 | fcpci: Loading... | fcpci: Driver 'fcpci' attached to stack | kcapi: driver fcpci attached | fcpci: Auto-attaching... | PCI: Found IRQ 5 for device 02:0d.0 | PCI: Sharing IRQ 5 with 02:09.0 | fcpci: Stack version 3.09-10 | kcapi: Controller 1: fritz-pci attached | kcapi: card 1 "fritz-pci" ready. | fcpci: Loaded. | kcapi: notify up contr 1 | capi: controller 1 up and lsmod shows the following: | Module Size Used by | fcpci 538304 1 | capi 18688 0 | capifs 3424 1 [capi] | kernelcapi 29216 2 [fcpci capi] | capiutil 22272 0 [kernelcapi] | hisax 156960 0 (unused) However, caling /etc/init.d/isdnutils start brings me the following errors: | Starting ISDN services : interfaces/dev/isdnctrl: No such device | ippp0 failed. | /dev/isdnctrl: No such device | isdn0 failed. | iprofd/dev/isdninfo: No such device | isdnlog/dev/isdnctrl: No such device I am quite desperate because I just can't figure out where the problem is..

I've been seeing a lot of CUPS related problem on the list lately and I, personally, have been having no end of problems printing since the last cups upgrade landed through apt-get: my home printer (parallel port) won't print at all... I guess I'll have to try rebooting and cycling the printer :-) My computer here at work, OTOH, will print blank pages from mozilla but, otherwise, appears to work fine (this one's printing to an HP JetDirect card). Would all these problems be bugs in the current version of cups or the debian packages? I looked at the bugs for cupsys and cupsys-client and all the serious looking ones are over 100 days old so they're probably not the culprits. Any thoughts?

It does some indexing on its directories to try to speed things up. And if the indexes get messed up, you can use the 'reconstruct' utility to, well, reconstruct them.

You don't exist. Go away.
Dear all, I'm having trouble with my PowerBook 3400. Due to a (known -- don't bother with that) kernel bug, the kernel lost interrupt for my root partition on pmud (pmud is like APM for PBs) wakeup, I had to reset the machine, and at the next startup and manual repair by e2fsck, about two dozen files, most of them binary files, have been added to /lost+found. I cannot log in at all at runlevel 2, but fortunately I can boot into single mode, and I do have network access (I can ping IP addresses, they are not resolved). The "You don't exist. Go away." message appears when I try to issue shutdown commands, so I have to reset the computer every time I want turn it off. What I have is a backup of /etc (made with tar -cIf, I _hope_ this will have preserved the permissions!), but a mirrordir operation didn't change the situation for the better. I have no complete backup, as my 1.3 GB HDD is 90% full, and my complete backups are in Germany while I am in the U.S. What can I do in this situation? Needless to say, any help will be appreciated.

Potato and woody install different versions of ssh by default. Potato installs a version of ssh (1.2.3-9.3) that defaults to using protocol v1.5 (I don't remember if it supports 2). Woody installs a version of ssh (2.5.2p2-3) that defaults to protocol v2, and it does support v1.5. If you're connecting from the potato box to the woody box, it should work with the identity and authorized_keys. Connecting from the woody box to the potato box, you need to run "ssh -1" in order to force it to use protocol v1.5. The other solution is to force both to use protocol v2, but then you need different key files. They're no longer identity, identity.pub, and authorized_keys, but I havn't learned yet what they are.

Re: Fritz!Card PCI ISDN adapter and Woody..
I use the Frits!PCI on potato, not woody, and only install isdnutils to get the user-space utilities; I rolled my own startup scripts etc. But from what I can figure out from your message it doesn't look like a module problem. It looks more like a problem with setting up the network interfaces, which has to do with the /etc/init.d/isdnutils script and its associated config. files, not the module. So I'd suggest you start at looking at configuration rather than modules. Sorry not to be more helpful, but that's the best I can do, given that I've no experience of the Debian isdnutils scripts. If this is an initial install and you get really stuck, I could scoot you a tarball of my setup scripts. You can use them both for synchronous ppp (usually for connecting to ISP's) and for raw IP over ISDN (usually for linking bits of your WAN). No guarantees of course, but they work quite well for providing Internet access to about two dozen users and linking three sites in the WAN I administer for my employers, all on ISDN.

There's >a generator on one of the circuits feeding the servers. So far >the UPSen handled the switch-over just fine. We're running about 70 APC UPSes. They are a mix: mostly SU-1400RMs, some -1000s, -700s, -600s and even a few BackUP 250s and Pro-280s. The APCs were relatively inexpensive, had good software support (under Windows), did more internal monitoring than most UPSes at the time and could be bought just about anywhere. Tech. support from APC has also been OK. They support PCs running HVAC software in machine rooms. If main power fails, the UPS only has to keep the equipment alive until the BU generator spins up. We haven't had any problems to date with running them from the generator power. When they work, they seem to work well. I'm am reconsidering them for our application though. They are also line-interactive. This means that they are always "working" the batteries and I think this tends to shorten the lifetime of the pack. The SUs do an internal pack test roughly every two weeks. If they have a shorted cell in a battery when the test runs, they have a tendancy to dump the load, so you _could_ loose your server to a UPS test even with no other trouble condition than a bad pack you haven't gotten around to replacing. The monitoring for the SUs over a serial line is good (apart from the weird cable pinout) but in some cases all I wanted was a contact output. They don't provide one: only an open-collector that you need to cook up a circuit for. This may not be a problem for one or two, but try 70. The 3U rackmounts have user-replaceable packs, but if a cell fails and distorts, try getting it out through the narrow openning without disassembling the entire unit. I'm not sure how the new 2U units are in this regard. So although I don't hate the APCs, I'm starting to lean towards older, standby style units. I suspect that these put fewer failure points in the power path under normal conditions, which I'm considering preferable to having the PC fail because the UPS ran a diagnostic and didn't handle a problem condition correctly. The UPS shouldn't introduce more problems than it solves. My $0.02 (CDN) Kevin B.

In potato, the easiest way to stop man complaining was to run mandb as root after changing any man pages. The dangling symlinks you mention are almost certainly bugs in individual packages, and usually relate to the alternatives system, which allows multiple packages to provide the same command (and its corresponding man page).

RE: new to the list - sendmailcf
You do not need sendmail for this - pine probably does require an MTA installed on the system you're using, but all you need is ssmtp, which a believe is available for slink. ssmtp is a simple MTA (send only) which just passes mail from your machine to a relay on the internet. It is much better to use this over something like exim or sendmail if all you need is a send only MTA to satisfy a program like pine or mutt or elm. Alternate: you could log in to the mail server and read your mail there. > -Original Message- > From: madhombre [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, November 21, 2001 10:54 AM > To: debian-user@lists.debian.org > Subject: new to the list - sendmailcf > > please let me know if I do anything wrong, I am new to this list and > quite new to list sin gerneral. > > Hello, nice to meet you all. > > I am also quite new to unix, so please be patient! > > my set up > > I have 3 unix boxes, one gateway/mail server, one web server and one > client > > The gateway uses netbsd and has qmail running quite nicely on it. > > The client is the one running Debian, it is an old laptop with not > much ram so I had to use Slink (2.1) > > I want to collect email from my mail server and also my isp. > > I have fetchmail, sendmail and pine running and it is almost working, > but not quite. > > I came across a page ont he web which expalins how to do what I want > to do, BUT it says I need sendmail and sendmailcf > > I have sendmail but not the sendmailcf, I looked on redhat and they > have it. > > Can I get it, I can't even find the source anywhere. > > Where can I get it from, pacjage or source, either one. > > OR someone can try to fix what I have now. > > It works but all the mail goes into one root file, I want to break it > up into 1 file per message. > > Pine can't handle it at the moment, I am opretty sure because it is > all one file. > > PLEASE HELP!!! > > Thanks. > > > _ > Do You Yahoo!? > Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com > > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".

advice needed on portals and weblogs
Good day! I need to set up an organizational web site that will have some characteristics of a weblog (for editorial and news) and some of a group site ( shared calendar and contacts, etc.) . I will need to develop some specialized applications over time. This is for a church so it will have some public functionality and some internal, protected functionality. My goals include extensibility, low operational maintenance, and Debian compatibility. I have looked at several content management systems for a basis and wonder what Deb users' experiences are. Some notes on the research so far: - I started installing Slash and found that it requires mods to Debian-installed components. It also appears to be a resource hog. - PHP-Nuke seems good except I am concerned about the tight coupling of logic/presentation and how it will affect extensibility and the resultant code maintenance. - Zope and Zope CMF are also interesting, particularly as they are Deb packages and are built for extensibility. My only concern is that I haven't seen any Z-CMF examples, including the dog bowl, that really connect to what I am doing. Since all the solutions require a considerable time investment for research and implementation, I am just looking for some pre-advice before I get too far down any particular road. Thanks in advance, -=greg
