abcde and local .cddb dir?
I've been using abcde for a while now and it's great. I just started kicking the tires on gronk (jwz's jukeboxy perl code) and it wants to know the location of my local .cddb dir. Trouble is, I can't seem to find a local .cddb dir (that would, in theory, contain records of each cddb lookup I'd done through abcde). I can't find anything in the abcde docs about creating/ retaining this lookup info. Does anyone know how I can make abcde write the discinfo locally (or tell me where this is if it's already being done)?

Re: gnomecal segfaulting for anyone else?
Yes, it happened to me as well. Is there any simple, relatively painless, way to reinstall testing from the beginning after going through many many dist-upgrades? I have heard that people are having little or no difficulty upgrading from stable now. Is this true? Incidentally, this morning xemacs started acting inappropriately. paren-highlighting is acting hyperactive. anyone else experiencing that?

As I had an old libranet CD sitting around, I installed it, upgraded to current stable, then to testing, then to unstable.No huge problems, though there were a few small ones to solve- mostly by following instructions where an upgrade didn't entirely work. It worked just fine for me. This process was a real eye-opener about Debian the first time I did it a few months ago. Needless to say I was very impressed.

Your commands are in the left-hand columns ( exb 0x23212 [?], q). Try typing 'q' to get out of it. I'm guessing linux never loaded and you're still in DOS/Win32 shell or whatever.

batch add users to group
Hello,
I would like to add some users to a group in batch format.
Something along these lines:
adduser `awk F: '&3 >= 1000 {print $1}' /etc/passwd` groupname
but this obviously doesn't work.
I used to know of a command but I forgot it.

wxGTK error (Audacity)
Well, can't help it I have to ask this question here, as I can't find a solution... I need to install wxGTK for audacity. The problem with audacity is that when I want to save a file, I can't see the text I type. When I mark the commando-line in Audacity I can see the text. I installed audacity the Debian way: apt-get install audacity. since the above problem is rather annoying I went ahead and installed a new version of GTK+-2.0.2 in /my/path/ to install the necessary packages I set: CPPFLAGS="-I/my/path/include" LDFLAGS="-L/my/path/lib" PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/my/path/lib/pkgconfig" export CPPFLAGS LDFLAGS PKG_CONFIG_PATH as well as: LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/my/path/lib" PATH="/my/path/bin:$PATH" export LD_LIBRARY_PATH PATH now the only package that gives me a hard time is wxGTK-2-2.7 gtk-config --libs still points to: -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lgtk -lgdk -rdynamic -lgmodule -lglib -ldl -lXext -lX11 -lm instead to /my/path according to wxGTK README * The most simple errors configure reports, that you don't have GTK 1.2 installed although you are very sure you have. Well, you have installed it, but you also have another version of the GTK installed, which you may need to remove including other versions of glib (and its headers). Also, look for the PATH variable and check if it includes the path to the correct gtk-config! The check your LDPATH if it points to the correct library. There is no way to compile wxGTK if configure doesn't pass this test as all this test does is compile and link a GTK program. Now I removed all glib gtk directorys I fond in /user/local/lib (where should the headers be I have also no clue) next in /etc/ld.so.conf I commented out /usr/local/lib and included /my/path so I am at a loss now what i should do next any pointers are appreciated. thanks :-) -- LinuxUser aka Josef Oswald [EMAIL PROTECTED] registered-linux-user # 134.818 at http://counter.li.org The box said Windows, NT or better, so I installed Linux :-) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Then it exits too, and control is returned to the shell or the display manager. So when you had "exec wmaker&", the X server would execute it, the shell would return immediatelly after backgrounding the command, and the X server would quit.

Re: compiling a kernel?
If you want it really really short apt-cache search kernel-image You will get a variety of hits Choose 1 apt-get install kernel-image... You dont need anything else, It will modify lilo.conf, etc etc, and you just reboot :) If you wanna really compile a kernel, In debian you can use some neat packages but the standard way to do it download the source make xconfig make dep make bzImage make modules make modules_install copy bzImage from /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/ edit lilo.conf run lilo Just reboot, Kapil Kapil On Sat, 4 May 2002 15:08:13 +0300 "Tuomo Karhu" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Could you give me main commands and short help/explanation howto compile > debian kernel? > > Thanks. > > Tuomo Karhu > -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Well, it's a good default, but it prevents you from doing what you're trying to do! It basically restricts all printing to the localhost. You probably should add something like this: REJECT NOT REMOTEIP=192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 Where 192.168.0.0 is replaced with the real address range that you want to be able to print from, and the netmask is appropriate for it. noah -- ___ | Web: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/ | PGP Public Key: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html pgpsCemorpY7e.pgp Description: PGP signature
Anyone else with konqueror/Opera scrolling problems?
Hi, I'm pretty up to date on Unstable, and believe I have the latest qt library stuff. Interestingly both Konqueror and Opera exhibit the same problem. Even more interestingly Opera exhibits the problem with both the statically linked and dynamically linked qt versions. This makes it real confusing to me. Both browsers will run fine for a while. At some point they get into a mode where scrolling exposes black regions rather than the newly-exposed rendered content. I've found no way to get out of that mode, other than rebooting the sick browser. Selecting with the mouse and auto-scrolling will force the black-out regions to render. But that's more of an interesting fact than a useful solution. It's easier to use a different browser. Google web and group searches found a few other people experiencing this. The only fix mentioned was to change QT versions. I don't believe that the statically-linked Opera uses the same QT version as Debian Unstable. Also I would expect other Debian Unstable users to be experiencing this. Are they? I'd like to make Opera usable, since I actually paid for it. I reported a defect to Opera, but they don't seem responsive. TIA for any hints.

Networking - still could not telnet in
I am trying to establish networking on a LAN consisting of 2 machines on Linux 2 on Windoze. My second Linux box never used to respond to the network. So I did : ifconfig -a ifconfig eth0 192.147.165.4 netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig -a Now from the one Windows box (192.147. 165.1) , connected to the same HUB, I tried to telnet 192.147.165.4 I got the message "Could not connect". Then I gave ping 192.147.165.4 which vae out 4 packets sent 4 received 0%packet loss. Now I go to 192.147.165.4 and : ipchains -I input -s 0.0.0.0/23 -p tcp -j ACCEPT ipchains -L Still I can not telnet to 192.147.165.4 from the Windows box (192.147. 165.1).

USB & 2. 4 kernels
I have a couple of mostly woody boxes. Both have Logitech USB Marble Trackman for mice. Both mice work well with 2.2.19 kernels. Yesterday I installed kernel-source-2.4.18 on one of the boxes and built a new kernel for it. I included all the relevant USB modules when I configured the kernel. The new kernel boots fine, X and KDE come up fine, but the Trackman doesn't work. AFAICT, I have the same modules loaded as with the 2.2. kernel. The only thing I find in dmesg or kern.log that seem unusual are the following: May 3 14:09:24 mug kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/1, assigned device number 2 May 3 14:09:24 mug kernel: usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout May 3 14:09:24 mug kernel: usb.c: USB device not accepting new address=2 (error=-110) May 3 14:09:24 mug kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/1, assigned device number 3 May 3 14:09:24 mug kernel: usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout May 3 14:09:24 mug kernel: usb.c: USB device not accepting new address=3 (error=-110) My wife is also having usb problems with her Mandrake box running a 2.4.8 kernel.

SoftwareRaid + Root + Boot with FastTrak100
Hi there I am a Newbie in RAID and want to set up a Debian-Woody-Server on a TYAN Thunderbold Dual Prozessor Mainboard w/ 2x PentiumIII and Adaptec AIc-7896N SCSI Chip onboard (but I do not use it) PROMISE Fastrak100 IDE-PCI-card w/ 4x 60Gb IBM HDDs. I first installed the minimal-System on an extra HDD (hda), compiled a customised Kernel, set up the Raid and moved the System onto the Raid. So far, it works fine, even booting of the Raid (I have a RAID1-boot-partition and a RAID5-root-partition) using LILO works. The only thing I do not get to work is booting without the extra HDD. If I use the MBR of the extra HDD (hda) for booting the System starts perfect, I even can change from this MBR (hda) to the MBR on the Raid-Disk (hde) and boot, but I cannot but using hde direktly. I turned of the SCSI onboard in the Main-BIOS and define an Array in the RAID-BIOS, then my BIOS trys to boot of hde, if I set the Main-BIOS to SCSI boot, but LILO crashes after LI Did anyone get a System booting direkt of hde with a FastTrak100 so far? Can anyone tell me how to use grub as Bootloader for RAID? (if it works) Or does that not work at all without an extra HDD? Maybe a mix of Software- and ATA-Raid might be a solution.

I would do more testing before ruling out an ISP problem. Try running a constant ping session to the same destination in another terminal before, during, and after your telnet/ssh/ftp session with a few of the hosts you've noticed the delay with. Keep an eye on the return times. Personally, I try to keep the ping times to the hosts I use under 50 ms, but generally <100 ms should be usable to most people. Also, when you're done with a short (< 5 min) connection, look at the packet loss reported by your ping session. Ideally, there should be 0% loss. However. 1-3% could be acceptable. Try the above tests both with and without the firewall system in place. You might want to do them a few times just to rule out any fluke hiccups in the connection. If you can consistently get good connections without the firewall system in place, the problem is most likely with the network setup on the firewall. However, if the results are pretty similiar with and without the firewall system, the problem lies between you and the remote end. -- Jamin W.

I have had TogetherJ vers 4.2 up and running without problems. By now 4.2 probably an old version anyway; I no longer have a license. Besides: It is proprietary software. As you discovered, it needs a license file to run. It should not be a problem running it on debian though; rumour has it that a couple of the developers of TogetherJ use debian... -- Karl E.

Re: help request with XF86Config
Hi Justin, the logfile says that /dev/mouse does not exist. It should be a link to the real device, as you have a PS/2 mouse, probably /dev/psaux. Or if you also use gpm, /dev/gpmdata. I think you only have to create the link accordingly.

If you go the nvidia way, and run into trouble. a good place to is the linux-dell-laptop mailing list and their FAQ. I run XFree 4.1 on my Inspiron 8100. The beast contains an NVidia card. Plenty of people have been using those cards, and have experience with TV output, Twin View, etc... You will find plenty of information on the list archives and FAQ.

Re: help request with XF86Config
In XF86Config-4 Section "InputDevice" # Identifier and driver Identifier "Mouse1" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol""Microsoft" try changing this to PS/2 Option "Device" "/dev/mouse" Change this to /dev/psaux unless you are using gpm, then change it to /dev/gpmdata and setup /etc/gpm.conf to device=/dev/psaux, repeat type=raw type=PS/2 That should get you past the error in XFree86.0.log For your screen resolution add SubSection "Display" Depth 32 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" and change DefaultDepth 8 to DefaultDepth 32 I think this should get it working.

I'm currently running the combination of a GF4 MX440 AGP and a GF2 MX200 PCI in my box with good results. Assuming you have an already working X configuration, you just replace whatever driver you're using with the nVidia one, and off you go. Installing the nVidia driver is a process of installing two debs, reading plain English instructions on how to build the software, then installing the two resulting debs and restarting X.

I tried that; it appears that the acroread is getting inappropriate screen coordinates a menu panel exists. Acroead appears below the menu panel and off the bottom edge of the screen. No problem with edge panels.

hi ya guennel ata (sw) raid works fine - fastrak100 may or may not be a problem... fastrak is NOT listed in the list of "hw supported raid" http://www.linux-ide.org/chipsets.html ( donno how current it is ( or the definition of "working/supported" hw raid5 ) in the lilo.conf files... boot should be boot=/dev/md0 so that you can boot off the other disks root should always be root=/dev/md0 you'd need an initrd with raid support you know raid is working when you can pull out any of the disks and the system still boots and works... works at least in degraded mode - if you did not pull out the disk or pull out the ide cables ( it might not yet be configured correctly x> My fstab: x> /dev/hde2 noneswapsw 0 0 x> /dev/hdf1 noneswapsw 0 0 x> /dev/hdg2 noneswapsw 0 0 x> /dev/hdh1 noneswapsw 0 0 x> /dev/md0/ reiserfs defaults0 0 x> /dev/md4/boot ext2defaults 1 1 i think /boot should be in the first 1024 cylinders... and similarly for / - i always use /boot as the same as / partion - no point in having /boot separate of / is corrupt -- i dont understand why you have raid0 and raid5... it make sense if... raid1 ( mirroring ) is used for booting off either hda or hdc disks and stripping hda->hdd and hdc->hdb raid5 is used for /home or /opt ( user data ) c ya alvin http://www.1U-Raid5.net On Sun, 5 May 2002 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi there > I am a Newbie in RAID and want to set up a Debian-Woody-Server on a TYAN > Thunderbold Dual Prozessor Mainboard w/ 2x PentiumIII and Adaptec > AIc-7896N SCSI Chip onboard (but I do not use it) > PROMISE Fastrak100 IDE-PCI-card w/ 4x 60Gb IBM HDDs. > > I first installed the minimal-System on an extra HDD (hda), compiled a > customised Kernel, set up the Raid and moved the System onto the Raid. > So far, it works fine, even booting of the Raid (I have a > RAID1-boot-partition and a RAID5-root-partition) using LILO works. > > The only thing I do not get to work is booting without the extra HDD. > If I use the MBR of the extra HDD (hda) for booting the System starts perfect, > I even can change from this MBR (hda) to the MBR on the Raid-Disk (hde) > and boot, but I cannot but using hde direktly. > I turned of the SCSI onboard in the Main-BIOS and define an Array in the > RAID-BIOS, then my BIOS trys to boot of hde, if I set the Main-BIOS to > SCSI boot, but LILO crashes after LI > > Did anyone get a System booting direkt of hde with a FastTrak100 so far? > Can anyone tell me how to use grub as Bootloader for RAID?

Not knowing how logcheck works, my guess is logcheck just didn't know what it was, I doubt the string "BAD" had anything to do with it, but I could be wrong. -- Baloo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

It might be easier for you to add these lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list: # OpenOffice deb http://www.mx1.ru/~chris/openoffice unstable main contrib deb-src http://www.mx1.ru/~chris/openoffice unstable main contrib # Java deb ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/linux/devel/lang/java/blackdown.org/debian/ woody non-free Then do this: dselect update apt-get install j2re1.4 openoffice.org That'll probably be far more painless than the way you're trying to go. -- Baloo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Debian NFS install
Hey gang, I am trying to install Potato on an extra machine via NFS. I've double checked that NFS is working on the server by mounting it from another RH box. No problem. dbootstrap fails, reporting "invalid argument". So I go to a shell and enter the mount command by hand: mount -t nfs 10.2.4.7:/mnt/cdrom /instmnt mount reports a failure: invalid argument Tailing the log on server shows that it authenticates the client with no errors. Anyone else jump this hurdle? -D "Black Holes are where God divided by zero." -- Steven Wright -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

If you get mail from somebody with 'attack' in their address you're likely to get the same warning. It's pretty weird, but in this case it's probably a better idea to err on the cautious side than to risk letting something legitimately noteworthy go unnoticed. noah -- ___ | Web: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/ | PGP Public Key: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html pgpRDzw43K8Lo.pgp Description: PGP signature
