xconsole won't allow input!?!

[Michael Kahle]

I have been using Debian Woody now for about 2 months.  This is installed
on an old P5 166 w/ 64 mb of ram.

I made the decision today to install XFree86 with afterstep for a lightweight
window manager.  I managed to get everything working fine, but when I
launch XConsole it won't let me put any input into the xconsole window.
 When I'm root I get a blank window and when selected I try and type
and just get beeps every time a key is pressed.  When I am logged in
as my user account, I still get the beeps but the window says, "Couldn't
Open Console".  Any ideas?

conio.h

[Zain Halai]

Hey,
I'd like to use functions like clrscr() or cprintf on debian 2.1, but the
header file conio.h does not exist under unix/linux systems (am I wrong?)
as is in Borland C++ Compiler. Is there an equivalent library or any other
way I could use the functions that are in conio.h?
Thank you in advance.

Thanks to everyone who responded regarding the mouse problem.  I fixed the
problem by changing XF86Config as follows, along with a new link from

don't know what programs do, and missed the fact that it was installed by
default.

Well, 'man xconsole' says that xconsole is there to monitor messages
which would usually go to /dev/console.  Why are you trying to type
input into it then?

It also says that the option -exitOnFail means that it will die
immediately if it couldn't open the console - is this inability to
open the console what the message, 'Couldn't open console' is also
referring to?  If so, then I would say that it can't open the console,
probably because only root has the privileges to do so on your system.

What are you trying to use xconsole for?  Why do you need it?  If you
want a terminal then you are looking for xterm, or rxvt, or
gnome-terminal, or konsole, or eterm, or rxvt-xterm, or wterm, or any
of a host of others.

xconsole is not an input program it is meant for output.  It reads logs or
other input files and displays them.

I've gotten more than one PDF file generated/served via some kind of web

Trimming the junk in vim, made ghostscript a happy camper.  Perhaps this
is one of those embrace extend tacticts?  Maybe, just sloppy

I don't recall exactly what conio.h has in it, but if it is 'console
io', which is what it sounds like, then curses or ncurses is probably
worth a look.

libncurses-dev.  I seem to recall hearing about a conio wrapper for ncurses,
but I don't remember much about it.  There will be some differences, but
curses is sorta/mostly a standard in the *nix world for console
interfaces.

BTW: please don't post new questions as follow-ups to other threads.

Just wanted to know, why I can't use

magicfilter and HP Deskjet 720c

[Erik van der Meulen]

Hi List - I have been using magicfilter with my HP LaserJet 4L for quite
some time no. Works fine!
No I have acquired an HP DeskJet 720c and I would like to add that to my
config. Unfortunately, magicfilter does not seem to have an input filter
for this particular deskjet. It has:

 dj500c, 550c, 630c, 690c, 690c-best 690c-low

Now my questions are:

- Is there any resource for additional input filters (I did do a Google
  search and also Debian archives, did not find it)?

- If not, can I use one of the above filters as an alternative?

Much appreciated!

Re: conio.h

I've used the slang package that has all the raw functions that makes it
easy to write wrappers for text screen operations.  Ncurses used to have
lots of bugs but that was several years ago when I chose slang instead and
probably the ncurses bugs have been fixed.

You can cause xscreensaver to run on any number of displays, but it takes

That is 12-point font, right...?

BTW, I have some more questions...
- Would it be possible to set the editor's font (ie: the editing area)
without altering the mini-buffer's? I'd like to try some multi-byte fonts,
but I want to have the minibuffer uses the default font (as what it is
now).
- I'd like to have some of the keboard keys generate two or more
characters; say, if I pressed "a", then Emacs would get it as "a[". Or
better yet, to generate some (a pair of?) hex values of the multi-byte
characters. I've been reading the manual of Emacs in www.gnu.org, but to
no avail. I have tried to set the keyboard-translate, but it seems that
the translation is one-to-one.

Thanks in advance,
Oki

There *are* arguments for Emacs:

- You don't have to think about which mode you are currently in, just hack
your stuff in there (something which is rather difficult with vi since you
need to be careful whether you are in command mode or in insert or
whatever mode).

- vi does not have its own programming language so it can't be customized
as much as emacs (ok, you can define new keyboards macros and syntax
highlighting in vi, but that's it). With Emacs, you can have specialized
development environments for Java (JDEE) and LaTeX (AucTeX, yaTeX), just
to mention a few.

The only *real* arguments against Emacs is that it uses a lot of memory
and that some of the keybindings may be a bit hard to get used to in the
beginning (under X, you can just conveniently use the menu to learn these 
keybindings).

So, there is no need to flame. I think it's justified to come up with good
arguments on a mailing list.

Holger

You've largely eliminated memory and CPU.

Another possible HW problem might be a disk corruption in your swap
partition.  I suggest this just because I now that Mozilla tends to
grow, and stress swap.  Though I would tend toward a driver issue.  Not
sure of a good swap tester, anyone have any suggestions?

Example:

   # screen splash screen
   [remotehost]$ top
   
   [detached]

   $ screen -r  # Reattach to a specified screen process.
   $ screen -rd# Reattach, detaching existing session if any.
   $ screen -rx# Reattach, preserving existing session if any (shared).

I'm also attaching two scripts I use to run w3m in screen mode within an
rxvt, with a wrapper that I use to invoke w3m generally.

I put the wrapper in /usr/local/bin (which precedes /usr/bin on my
path).

This gives me w3m in an terminal window, invoked via screen, so I can
multiplex my browsing session.  Note trix with the SHELL variable.
'screen' sees its shell as w3m, so a new w3m session is spawned for each
new window.  w3m resets shell to /bin/bash to allow proper shell escapes
from the browser itself.  I use this for most of my quick-and-dirty
browsing needs.

   - w3m:  w3m wrapper.  Invokes w3m on bookmarks file if no args given.
   - w3m-term:  Invokes w3m within terminal using screen.

Peace.

This is normal.  It only reads anything you send at /dev/xconsole.  You
can have X start this automatically, with a little tweek (look around in
/etc/X11), and you can get your logs piped to it with a little tweek of
syslog.conf.  The reason why xconsole exists should be clear now.

It sounds like you're looking for a terminal program.  Try xterm, rvxt,
or some other similarly named app and see if that's what you expected.

Re: Emacs advice,what to install?

[David Smead]

There's no such thing as everybody's editor.  Emacs is a lifestyle, so if
you're looking for simpler editors there are lots of choices.

The editor e3 may be have the lowest size per function at about 10K, so if
your want to keep size down and still have a quite functional editor you
should try that for basic script editing.

You can run e3 in the nedit mode.  Nedit under X is a good all around text
editor and does have built in language support.  I prefer to have my
`intergrated development environment' built on my own scripts and
makefiles, so nedit suits that style.

And then there are pico/nano.

In the beginning there is probably vi.  Use it just long enough to get e3
or nano onboard.  Use them if you don't have X, otherwise use nedit.  If
you want to start emacs as part of you log on screen and never want to
exit until you log out it's possible.  And if the boss is listening to all
the keyboarding you're doing using emacs so much the better.

Re: IPCop on Debian

[Pat Colbeck]

IPcop so far as I know is its own custom distribution. I.E you dont
install it ontop of Debian or RedHat or whatever it installs on a
blank hard drive itself. In essence its a custome kernel with ipchains
and everything removed not necessary to run firewalling and snort with
a HTML front end chucked on there to manage it. Nice product, no
reason why you couldn't do the same thing with Debian but he whole
point of IPcop is that its quick and easy to setup even if you know
nothing at all about Linux.

Doc problem related to mkrboot package

[Jean-Francois Leveque]

 
I recently got the 2.2r6 i386 CDs for an offsite install.
 
I read the doc and found that the file boot.bat
mentionned in the CD doc equivalent of
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch-rescue-boot#s-install-cd
cannot be found on the CD (as far as I can tell).
 
This file is also mentionned in
http://www.debian.org/CD/releases/


The install.bat file which provides (as far as I can
tell from the mailing lists archives) the same use
as the boot.bat is both on the CD and in the doc.
 
The install.bat file is in the mbrboot package,
so maybe more can be found in this package history.
 
I think we have a good candidate for a doc update.
Couldn't find the package this doc is included
in so I post on the list instead of submitting
a bug.


Best regards,
Jean-Francois Leveque

Unable to mount cd-rom

[Sam Varghese]

I recently moved my Debian install over to a new hard disk and after
this I find that I cannot mount my cd-rom.
 
My /etc/fstab reads as under:
 
/dev/hda2 /   ext2defaults,errors=remount-ro 0
1
/dev/hda5   noneswapsw  00
proc/proc   procdefaults 0   0

0
/dev/hda1   /boot   ext2 rw 0   2
/dev/sr0/cdburner   iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noauto 0 0
 
Other relevant info:
 
sammo:~# ls -la /dev/cdrom  
lrwxrwxrwx1 root root3 Apr  9 18:58 /dev/cdrom ->
hdc
 
sammo:~# ls -la /dev/hdc
brw-rw-rw-1 root cdrom 22,   0 Jul  6  2000 /dev/hdc
 
I can play an audio cd using the cd-rom in question.

When I try to mount a cd, the whole machine freezes up. I have to
reset and then fsck the root partition before I can use it.
 
Just to test out the cd-rom itself, I installed Mandrake on another
partition and checked that there is nothing wrong with it.
 
I tried deleting and recreating the device file but that did not make
any difference.

Any hints to get out of this would be appreciated.

That is because it is one of the worse ideas around.  If you allow
root to telnet to your box then you are transmitting your root
password across a network in plain text.  If I was *certain* that the
box is not connected to a network outside the building (eg the
internet), I still wouldn't do it.  Use ssh instead, and even then it
is better to ssh in as another user and then su to root.

Assuming that your telnetd is run from inetd, add a line like this in
/etc/inetd.conf:

stream  tcp nowait  telnetd.telnetd /usr/sbin/tcpd 
/usr/sbin/in.telnetd

I think the original rationale has to do with core dumps.  I read
somewhere that to get a successful core dump swap must be >= 2 * ram.
That said, when was the last time you read into a core dump?  When was
that last time you dumped core???

as far as i can trace back, i can't see any precise description of the 
archtiecture on which this is happening to you. i've  got an amd k6 chip 
where the same symptoms happened with damn near every kernel iteration 
between 2.2.19 up until the current 2.4.17. i traced my problem back to one 
point in the kernel source, namely at slab.c:1248, caused by, as far as my 
investigation could determine, an attempted allocation of a non-allocatable 
memory address. i tried to contact the author of that piece of the kernel 
code but ended up with an undeliverable message about a week later. 
contacting amd got a response that they did not have the resources to 
investigate linux-related bugs. in any case, since running 2.4.17 for about 
six months, now, the problem has never re-occured. in fact, i've been so 
relieved to have a crash free configuration that i've postponed the effort to 
test any kernel beyond the one that works. 

the symptoms were exactly the same: random system freezes, often within 
booting, regularly on running x, but always infrequent with no discernable 
pattern involved, and with nothing registered in dmesg or any of the 
appropriate x logs. i eventually found the clue in kern.log. the absence of 
the same begins with the very date that i compiled the 2.4.17 kernel from 
source from kernel.org, which was also actually the first kernel i compiled 
in the non-debian way. maybe that matters.

in the event that this same issue is the cause of your grief, sorry i didn't 
file a bug report, back then. i guess i could be more sociable but i kind of 
lose myself in the task of curing the problem, and tend to forget that part 
of the allegiance to linux.

I am a little puzzled by the comment "executables do not use swap" and I
have to admit computer design is not my forte. However let me dive in :-)
  I was under the impression the swap process did not care what the memory
was doing, in fact the user process or data did not know it was in ram or on
disk, but ran in the virtual memory.  If there was a request from part of
the program running in this virtual memory (hence obviously in ram space
talking to the processor) and the instruction pointed to an area in virtual
memory that was not in ram space the MMU would generate an exception to
kernal space and the swap would occur.  The trick is to guess what parts of
the virtual memory should be kept in ram space. (Hence all the design in the
kernal world)   As well there are some means to request that parts of your
program remain in RAM space (this used to be a function of the sticky bit I
think)  but I am not a programmer so I really cannot comment too much on
this.

I have this exact same 'issue' with almost the same hardware.  As far
as I can tell, when the ide-scsi module is loaded, it takes control of
all non-harddisk IDE devices on the system.  I think there's a work
around, but I can't for the life of me remember it.  If it doesn't
bother you, I'd just leave it.

Oh yeah, there were a couple of other things, (all good:):
* You can use tools like jazip (for your zip drive) that only
  understand SCSI.
* Apparently some cd-rom drives can perform DAE (digital audio
  extraction, ie rip) cds quicker with ide-scsi enabled!

netscape bus error

[John Habermann]

Hi

Do support for a community group that recycles computers installs debian and 
gives them to low income people. One of the recipients is issues with 
Netscape. Netscape (4.77-2) doesn't open at all and when netscape is entered 
into an xterm he receives only a line saying "Bus error".
Anyone have any ideas, I haven't come across this before. He is one of our 
early recipients and has just bought a new computer 1.4 ghz athlon 256 ddr 
memory and has got debian unstable with kde as the desktop environment, bit 
different to potato with gnome as our desktop which is what he started with.

Thanks for any help

Re: net connect problem, sleep?

[Michael Wördehoff]

Hello again, Ron Johnson, Jr. !

Last night i didn't  remember from where APM ist used, but hoped you could 
find something about in the Kernel-Doku ( or simply reading the 
config-informations with 'menuconfig' ).  
Additionally here is one more piece about that ( but there may be more 
instances to check ). It's my /etc/XF86Config-4 :

>>>

# Global Options:
Section "ServerFlags"   
Option  "AllowMouseOpenFail"
Option  "BlankTime" "5"
Option  "StandbyTime"   "10"
EndSection

#...APM-Options need to be enabled in Section Monitor:

Section "Monitor"
Identifier  "Generic Monitor"
VendorName  "Iiyama"
ModelName   "S900MT1"
HorizSync   30-95
VertRefresh 50-160
# Power Management:
Option  "DPMS"

>>>

Though I don't see how Monitor-Options can affect your network-connection.
Usually, you could specify 'reanimating' actions for the down-powered system 
in the BIOS, like Mouse, Keyboard, HD-Activity - perhaps there's an advanced 
option for your network-port ?

It needs some Sekonds for the HD to get ready again - this may demand 
increasing 'out-time'.

Baloo, Shaelh, and David,

Thank you all for your answers.  I asked this question to the list late
last night after I couldn't figure out why I couldn't get a terminal.
 Shortly after I posted I installed xterm and I was all set.  As you
all pointed out, this is not the program I was looking for.  If I would
have checked the man pages I could have avoided this noise to the list!
 Thanks again.  I am self imposing a 30 minute delay to the send button

*That's* the problem! Point the cursor at the first character within a

The question was very specific. I didn't ask how cut-n-paste works
*generally*. I *know* how to do that. Been doing it for years.

Sorry for venting but why don't people *read* what's actually written?
It just might prevent useless non-answers.

Well, running the system with sync'd mounts and strace for Mozilla was
extremely slow, but I did manage to get the system to drop while using
Mozilla (during an attempted opening of freshmeat.net).  I ran strace with
'-ff -F -o moz.log' options and now have several trace output files.  It
appears to have managed to follow a good number of threads from Mozilla.

This could be more or less ruled out by turning swap off during one of the
tests, right?  I know it wouldn't prove that the swap was good, but if the
system drops without the swap enabled, then we know something else is to
blame (swap could still be bad).  However, if the system won't drop with
the swap disabled, then I would tend to think the swap was the culprit,
right?

Not what I want.

Suppose "Copy Link Location" was a link that pointed to
http://www.foo.com/copylink.htm. I want to cut-n-paste the
words "Link Location". What you suggest puts the
"http://www.foo.com/copylink.htm"; in the buffer.

That works but is a cludgy work-around that requires additional editing
thus nullifying the benefits of cut-n-paste.

First, that's a really old announcement.  It has nothing to do with
the woody freeze, but rather the creation of "testing" in the first
place.  (there used to be only "stable" and "unstable")

Second, "point apt" doesn't mean "install package".  Pointing apt
somewhere means editing /etc/apt/sources.list to contain the proper
entries.  (and those instructions weren't targeted for those new to
debian)

If you want to track testing (which is also called "woody" right now),
these lines in sources.list will work :

deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian woody main contrib non-free
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US woody/non-US main contrib

Woody not ready, methinks

[Michael Rudmin]

I was hoping to get Baltic fonts, and I had just
installed, and I read that Debian is advising new
installers to install Woody instead of Potato.  So I
figured why not reinstall.

First, let me preface by naming my system.  800 Mhz
PII, *slow* permanent web link, everything else
normal.
Also, my weblink often drops connections, resulting in
crashed downloads. I can tell by the size whether it
is successful or not.

I decided to download the disk images.  

Attempt 1- Downloaded 20 images.  Took a few retries,
but that's what a slow permanent link is good for.
Installed them on my hard disk on a vfat partition. 
Went to install.  Whoops!  There is no provision for
using disk images from the hard disk.  Have either
tarball it or RAWRITE it.  [*That*, IMHO, should
change.)

Attempt 2-RAWrote the disks.  Went to install.  Got to
Disk 11 -- it was no good.  Had to bomb out and try
again.  

Attempt 3-ReRawrote Disk 11.  Went back to install
again.  Got through the entire loading procedure. 
Computer created Tar ball out of disks, went to
validate it, and discovered -- invalid Tarball.

Attempt 4-trying the impossible: downloading a Tarball
over Windoze and my slow line.  

It looks to me like Woody is not quite ready for
install.  

P.S.  If you reply to this cc: me over at Mike_Rudmin
"at" yahoo.com, or I won't see it.  Not that I have
to.  [@ sign was spelled out to jinx spammers].

I don't even know why I answer this question. It is obvious that you
didn't make an effort to search the answer.

The instructions are in the documentation. E.g.
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/quick-reference/ch-woody.en.html#s5.2
Even with a simple Google search you should find it. E.g.

It seems to be started by /etc/X11/Xsetup in sid.  I swear there was a

Also, look at the really nice rewriting rule that is commented out at
the end of the default exim.conf provided in the Debian package.  It
uses /etc/email-addresses so that you can set up other-domained aliases
for any local users.  Then exim will automatically change the headers
accordingly as your mail goes out.

Advantage of this is that, like Mike's suggestion, it still works if you
change mail clients (MUAs), say, from mutt to sylpheed.

Of course, doesn't work if you don't use exim...

Suggestions for multi-platform game development library?

[marshal]

Hi all!

I'm looking for something, I guess a library would be probably what
I'm looking for, that will allow me to write a game (RPG), but that is
supported on many platforms.  I'm looking specifically for *nix,
Windows, and, also preferably, MacOS (9 or X.  X should be fairly
easy.)  I want a write once, compile 3 times sort of deal.  Don't have
to fiddle with the source (too much) to make it compile on other
platforms.

Any suggestions?  I'd prefer opinions with experiences.  I know of
allegro, SDL, and libgengameng (but I don't do C++, ... yet.) just from
a quick scan through dselect.

I guess what I'm looking for is something to manage to graphics (no 3D
required, yet...), sound, and perhaps sound input/processing, but
don't worry too much about the last one yet.  Oh, and multilanguage
support (input/output) is a must. 

I'm also up for suggested programming languages.

If this sounds very vague, it's because I haven't quite got all the
specifics down in my head yet.  It's still a sketch, but I'd like to
get something going.

Thanks for any help!

Here is the intro to Uconio

Do you remember the CONIO.H header from Borland? yeah, in
UNIX we have CURSES.H what is better? obviously CURSES!.
No matters, i start wrote this library in a boreing moment.
I Wanna to port and add some functions to the original CONIO.H library,
all this porting was an idea of GiBa, but i wanna to do the library.
Anyways, i hope you like it, the lib isnt completed yet.

Sincerely,

David Smead



Note the date on that message at the bottom.  It is NOT recent!

The phrase "Point apt at the new "testing" distribution..." means 
changing your /etc/apt/sources.list file to get it's stuff from the 
Debian "testing" (or currently "Woody"...same thing right now) tree 
rather than the "stable" (or Potato) tree.  The easisest way to do this 
is to edit your sources.list file and change all refereneces to "stable" 
(or Potato) to "testing".


This is the EASIEST, but not necessarily the BEST method.  Apt-Get is a 
very powerful tool, and seems to be getting better as time goes along. 
There are major improvements and additions between "stable" and 
"testing".  With the versions out of "testing" I have been running for 
the last 6-9 months you can set it up to pull packages from different 
Debian file trees at the same time by using the "preferences" option(s). 
 That means that you can mix packages from "unstable" and "testing" or 
any other combination you want.  This is NOT in the version in "stable" 
to the best of my knowledge.


After you have your system looking at the right ftp or http "sources" 
tree, then the command you want depends upon what you want to do.  I 
gather from the above that you want to install the "testing" version on 
a machine probably running "stable".  In this case, the command(s) in 
theory would be:


apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

But since 'testing" is not quite finalized, this may (read "will") 
produce some rough spots for you.  The changes between the two are quite 
significant!  If you are not familiar with the potential problems and 
how to recover from them then you could wind up with a system that is 
un-usable.  It is advisable to peruse these mailing lists and see what 
others have exerienced in this regard.  There is no one single "recipe" 
for doing a "dist-upgrade" from "stable" to "testing" at this point in 
time.  It is even more difficult if you are using an older version of 
Debian, like "slink". It has been my experience that the fastest, 
cleanest, and most trouble-free method of getting testing on your 
computer is to start from scratch and use any of the installation 
methods mentioned in the docs at: 
http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/disks-i386/current/doc/. 
 I particularly like the "boot-floppy" method and installing from the 
internet over my Cable Modem connection.  Backup old data/files you want 
to keep of course...  The time spent doing a "clean" install from the 
internet is about the same as doing a "dist-upgrade", and MUCH smoother! 
 You save LOTS of time in de-bugging and correcting install errors.


I suggest you become familiar with with the man pages on these subjects 
before you try to mess around with them.  There are also LOTS of threads 
on these mailing lists on using the "preferences" options as well as 
problems encountered using the "dist-upgrade" option.  Suggested reading:


MAN: apt, apt-get, sources.list + any references listed at the bottom of 
each.

The log entries will go where ever your syslog.conf (assuming you're using
syslog) tell them to go.  This is most likely going to be
"/var/log/messages" by default.

how can I setup a network monitoring station

[Rory Campbell-Lange]

I wish to setup a network monitoring machine to track network traffic
in an office of about 100 users. The main focus of attention is the
traffic passing between our router and the network, as we recently and
inexplicably had most of the bandwidth of our half meg leased line
saturated by network traffic for over a day.

The router is a proprietary network appliance providing NAT/VPN and a
firewall.

I have tested tcpdump at another smaller office where I was able to
trace all the network traffic between the gateway and workstations all
linked on the same small switch. However in the larger office the Bay
450-24T (now Nortel) managed switches we use appear to confound tcpdump
so that only traffic between the localhost and the targeted system
appear, even if I place a mini-hub between the tracing machine and the
switch (which also provides the network connection to the router). 

I get a message from tcpdump saying that eth0 has entered promiscuous
mode so I guess that the capabilities of the ethernet card aren't the
problem.

Is the solution to use the Bay switch port mirroring feature? If this is
the thing to do, would I need another ethernet interface to connect to
the network normally? I would like to run arpwatch on the same machine
(so only one machine in the office is in promiscuous mode) - is that
feasible?

I hope to hold 3 day's tcpdump information on disk, and analyse this
with Ethereal or some similar tool if necessary. I'm hoping not to lose
too much of the information, so I wasn't thinking of filtering much. I'd
be grateful for some expert advice on the suitability of this approach.
The disk of the network monitoring machine has about 15G free.

I'm running Debian woody on i386.

[ps I posted this to the tcpdump workers list, but haven't had any
replies, so I thought I'd try here!]

Thanks for any help
Rory

Well, what it meant was to change your sources.list to point to testing
instead of stable and run 'apt-get dist-upgrade'.

I'm not sure if the following is currently necessary, but a few months
ago you needed to install the new versions of apt and dpkg before
running the upgrade:

1.  Edit /etc/apt/sources.list to use testing instead of stable
packages.

2.  Run 'apt-get update'.

3.  Run 'apt-get install apt dpkg'

4.  Run 'apt-get dist-upgrade'.

gdkxft and non iso-1 characters

[Grzegorz Prokopski]

Hi!

The short version of my story is:
- I installed gdkxft (on my unstable) and it works quite nicely
- only thing that doesnt work are iso8859-2 characters.

It looks like it displays iso8859-1 chars intead of iso-2.
Locale and the rest of settings (like iso-2 font) are OK.
It works when I disable gdkxft.

Has anyone using non iso-1 chars got gdkxft working?
Where should I ask further?
Any other advice?

Best regards

jigdo template for woody-i386-1.raw corrupt?

[Joey Smith]

I've been trying for 2-3 days now to get woody-i386-1.raw using
jigdo, but it always fails before it starts fetching packages
with the error:

jigdo-file print-missing: Invalid template data - corrupted file?
Created `woody-i386-1.raw.list'
Merging parts from `file:' URIs, if any...
jigdo-file make-image: Invalid template data - corrupted file?
jigdo-file failed with code 3 - aborting.

Now, I thought maybe this was something I was doing wrong, until
I discovered last night that I can generate woody-i386-2.raw using
jigdo, so it looks like maybe it really is a problem with the 
template file...

Where should something like this be reported? Bugs? Here? ...

"point apt at the new distribution" doesn't mean "type the word testing
in a randomly-chosen spot on the command line".  It means "configure apt

Re: Unable to mount cd-rom

[Steve Juranich]

I've got a similar setup.  I don't know if this is your problem but...

When you load the ide-scsi stuff, I think that it emulates EVERYTHING on that 
bus, unless you pass it a couple of boot parameters.  I don't know what these 
boot parameters are, and I haven't bothered to figure it out yet, so both my 
cdrom (actually a dvdrom) and cdrw device are under scsi emulation, since they 
are on the same bus (the dvdrom's the secondary master, and the cdrw's the 
secondary slave).

If /dev/sr0 is pointing to /dev/hdd, and you're not passing the special 
parameters to ide-scsi on boot, then this is most likely your problem.

First of all, make sure that you've got the devices straight.  The fact that
/cdburner points to /dev/sr0 while /dev/cdrom points to /dev/hdc looks a 
little odd, but I'm certainly no expert.

Next, change your fstab entries so that /dev/cdrom points to /dev/sr1 (or /dev/
sr0, or whatever).  Then you should be able to mount the device normally.

The fact that this is hanging your system is also strange.  Do you actually 
have two separate devices, or a single cdrw that you are trying to pawn off to 
your system as both a cdrom and a cdburner?  That fact might be confusing 
mount and do funny things to your system.

Hi,

i think this is due to your cd-burner,
you should handle your cdrom also like scsi, somethimg like this in
/etc/fstab:

/dev/sr0/cdrom  iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noauto 
/dev/sr1/cdburn iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noauto

and add a boot parameter for both cd-drives to lilo:

image=/vmlinuz
label=Linux
append="hdc=ide-scsi hd?=ide-scsi"
depends on which IDE-connector you used for your cdrom and cdburner

This should work.

make-kpkg

[dave mallery]

hi

i had good luck making a custom 2.2.20 kernel yesterday (following the
newbie instructions)

this morning i made a custom 2.4.18 from the source package.

it is no good.. probably a config omission.


question:  can i simply: dpkg -r kernel-image-2.4.18_custom1.0_i386.deb ??


it needs to be obliterated, since it can't use the monitor.  will the 
above -r also re-arrange my /etc/lilo.conf? or do i have to do that by 
hand?

whatever happens, i don't want the existing 2.4.18_custom1.0 to be a lilo 
boot option.

thank you

dave

Samba Messaging

[Tinus Kotze]

Hi

I converted my system to debian a while back and got the following problem. I 
can't receive/send messages while i can pretty much do anything else. I am 
connected to a LAN. My username is "jmak" and i will use a friends win2k 
machine to show some examples who's username is "mindlessdemon"
My system
Debian 3.0(Kernel 2.4.18)
Samba 2.2.3a-6

Here comes the problem.

smbclient -L mindlessdemon ->OK
smbclient -M mindlessdemon -> OK

smbclient -L jmak  -> OK
smbclient -M jmak -> FAIL

The win machines can't send messages to me either, or I don't receive them 
correctly. I'm not sure about that part yet. I use linpopup on my side for a

Can somebody please help me. This problem is making me mad and has gone on 
t long.

Woody Install Problems Rpt.

[Michael Rudmin]

Woody installation failure:

I have found that when I use the TARball base system,
the tarball validates fine.  Then it extracts.  Then
it exits with an error (error return code=1).

I also tried the disks install, and that too crashes
at a similar point--during or just after validation.

So it would seem that what is posted out on the debian
site is broken.

It might be nice to know if there is a version
available or a tarball out there that installed okay.

 - Mike Rudmin

PS...  I am not sure where to send TESTING reports,
but if one of you who is in the know could forward it
on, I'd appreciate it.

Re: Swapfiles

You need swap for data because the computer has run out of RAM and needs
some place to store the data, hence disk space, a.k.a. "swap". Once RAM
becomes available the data is read back in from swap ("paged").

You do NOT need swap space for executables because they can be read back in
from the original executable file. Executables do not change in memory and
therefore are identical to the original file. If you wrote them to swap you
would be wasting disk space and duplicating the executable no disk. So the
computer *does* "page" the RAM, but it does not use swap space. This is an
optimization, nothing more.

Re: kernel-headers-2.2.19pre17

[James Michael DuPont]

Thanks bob,
I have the exact same installed.

Funny 

my uname -r returns 2.2.19pre17.

 /etc/netlock/nlvcard.o was compiled for kernel
version 2.2.19pre17-compact
while this kernel is version 2.2.19pre17.

Anyway, does anyone have this netlock VPN client for
linux running? Or has used free S/WAN to talk to a
Nortel VPN server, probablly not :(

Seach this list for netscape and bus error.  Also look at the netscape bugs on
bugs.debian.org.  There have been different issues at different times causing

I've had no problems whatsoever. I'm just installed woody today
and yesterday from various netinst and mini-cd's.

I can really recommend the mini-cd from
http://www.phy.olemiss.edu/debian-cd/

I dl-d it yesterday (when the site was really slow due to being
mentioned in debian-weekly-news. I tested installing it in VMWare (since
that's so easy and risk-free). WOrked like a charm.

Today I saw that a new version was out... dl-in it all again was a bit
too much, but a simple rsync what enough to just get the differences,
and a few MB's later (and not 200... maybe 10-15, i dunno) I had a new
image.

Tested it on vmware again, worked like a charm again, installation in
about 15-20 minutes (including everything, ext3 and reiserfs,
mailserver, ssh, updates)

I've now burned that cd-image to a 3inch cd... very handy to have
around.

I really think woody is very near, and could be released any day now,
the new boot-floppies work perfectly.

I think you should check md5sums of files you download, or maybe use a
better downloading system, like rsync.
