cyrus-sasl security update seemed to fail

[Oliver Fuchs]

Hi,

I have updated my debian woody box via dselect (update) with the latest
cyrus-sasl update:

[...]
cyrus-sasl (1.5.27-3woody3) stable-security; urgency=high
  * Non-maintainer upload by the Security Team
  * Corrected the assignment to path which is a char *, not a char
 -- Martin Schulze <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>  Tue, 12 Oct 2004 15:54:04 +0200

  * Non-maintainer upload by the Security Team
  * Added special detection routine for big/little endianess on MIPS since
the line "byteorder : {big|little} endian" from /proc/cpuinfo was
removed as of Linux 2.4.20, resulting in the mipsel buildd being
unable to build this package.

 -- Martin Schulze <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>  Fri,  8 Oct 2004 16:45:19 +0200
[...]

In my sendmail.mc I am using: 
define(`SMART_HOST',`[smtp.memyselfandI.de]')dnl
FEATURE(`authinfo')dnl

My authinfo looks like this:
AuthInfo:smtp.memyselfandI.de "U:whoareyou" "P:donttellanyone"

Before the security update everything worked o.k ... I could use the
SMTP-AUTH without any problems.

Doing a 
telnet localhost smtp
ehlo locahost

shows me

250 AUTH DIGEST-MD5 PLAIN LOGIN GSSAPI CRAM-MD5

Since the security update the sendmail SMTP-AUTH is not working anymore
instead I reveive a

temporary auth failure

in my sendmail logs. The telnet localhost smtp command does not show any 

250 AUTH

message anymore.

I do not know exactly if I am missing something but I think that this
security-update 

Package: cyrus-sasl
Vulnerability  : unsanitised input
Problem-Type   : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CAN-2004-0884
Debian Bug : 275498

is not running without errors.

adding a non-packaged extension to mozilla-firefox

[Riccardo Vestrini]

I wonder which is the preferred way to add an extension to mozilla-firefox
going to www.mozilla.org, finding an extension and clicking on the 
"install" icon does not seem to work
(i tried reloading firefox, calling update-mozilla-firefox-chrome, 
searching for "firefox extension" on this list without good luck)

I would only like to install the single-window extension on my own 
computer ...

thank you in advance

(sid) USB Battery Charger

[Riccardo Tortorici]

Hi all,
few months ago I bought an USB->SERIAL bridge in order to connect my 
mobile phone (sonyericsson t310) to the pc. With Windoze I installed the 
software I found on the CD. The software I'm talking about has also the 
battery charger function. Once I started to charge my mobile (click on 
"Charge it"), even if i rebooted and switched to Debian, the phone 
continue to be in charge. Now I'm only with Debian but I still need to 
charge my mobile. What I'm searching is something that sends voltage to 
my mobile...any idea?

Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know if it is possible to do this in KDE?  That is, create keyboard

power-button >> poweroff

[Rune Maagensen]

I'm having trouble getting my power button shut down my computer.
So far it either 1) powers off the hard way, BOOM or 2) doesn't react at all
I've installed apmd and have apm loaded as a modules from debian stock 
2.6.8 kernel (2.6.8-1-686).

I've read about acpi, and am fairly sure my motherboard supports it (it 
says ACPI BIOS at post time). But whem doing a modprobe acpi without apm 
module loaded:

rune:~# modprobe acpi
WARNING: Error inserting processor 
(/lib/modules/2.6.8-1-686/kernel/drivers/acpi/processor.ko): No such device
FATAL: Error inserting acpi 
(/lib/modules/2.6.8-1-686/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi.ko): 
Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
rune:~# dmesg
(...)
acpi: Unknown symbol acpi_processor_unregister_performance
acpi: Unknown symbol acpi_processor_register_performance

I've tried various kernel appends in grub (can't remember them all) and 
I am getting tired of the hard poweroffs and booting.

Is there a way of getting the stock debian kernel (2.6) make a gracefull 
shutdown with the power button?

Is a custom kernel compile really nessecary, and if so should I go with 
acpi or apm?

TIA
Rune

debconf and kde

[Richard Lyons]

Whenever I install new or updated packages (usually with aptitude), 
debconf complains that it cannot open kde, cannot find qt, etc.  I am 
perfectly happy with the fallback, text interface.  But why does it 
always do that?  Is it a residue from the days long ago that I ran kde?  
And if so, can I tell it not to bother looking, as I run icewm now?

Not an important issue -- I just wondered...

Re: Problems with debian install

[Vikas Rawal]

I managed to install debian but after recreating the partitions and 
surrendering my windows partition as well. But the problem now is that 
it is  not able to configure the right monitor and video adoptor.

This is a compaq machine with an intel 815 chipset. Monitor is Compaq V570.
On a similar machine with a redhat, I get the specifications of the 
video card/monitor. That machine uses i810 chipset specifications 
instead. But when I tried to use the same on debian, the X windows 
crashes. I managed to run xwindows once with a generic video adoptor. 
But the resolution etc. were very poor. When I shifted to i810, x 
windows crashed.

Can somebody tell me how to get xwindows going? What does one do to get 
the right configuration for video drivers and monitor?

iptables troubles

[Pim Bliek]

Hi All,

I still have trouble, with FTP. A user is able to login, but cannot
retrieve any data (also no 'ls' because of that). Here are the lines
in my fw-script about FTP:

$IPT -t filter -A INPUT -p tcp -s 0/0 -d $NET --destination-port 20  !
--syn -j ACCEPT
$IPT -A INPUT -i $NET -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED -p tcp
-s 0/0 -d $NET --dport 20 -j ACCEPT

$IPT -t filter -A INPUT -p tcp -s 0/0 -d $NET --destination-port 21 -j ACCEPT
$IPT -A INPUT -i $NET -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED -p tcp
-s 0/0 -d $NET --dport 21 -j ACCEPT

What is wrong here?

I always like `seq' for things like this. I just discovered the -w
option that is useful here:

$ seq -w 8 12
08
09
10
11
12

So then something like the following can be used:
for i in `seq -w 8 12`; do mplayer "$i*"; done

Current State of Linux Input Devices

[Timo Hoenig]

Hi,

I am carrying out a survey on the current state of Linux input devices.
The results will have influence on my diploma thesis and the
corresponding project which is called Input Abstraction Layer [1].

The survey is located at: http://ial.berlios.de/survey/

Anyone who uses Linux -- either on a desktop, a laptop or both -- is
more than welcome to participate.

I appreciate every single contribution to the survey.

Best Regards,

Weirdness with realtek 8169

[Juhan Kundla]

Hei!

This post is somewhat off-topic, sorry about that.

I have weird problem with my NIC. It has the Realtek 8169 chip on it.
The r8169 kernel module should drive it. The floppy, it came with, has
the r8169.c source on it.

But when i compile the r8169 kernel module (either the one from kernel
source tree or the one from the floppy) it just won't load. I tried
different kernel versions and configurations, nothing. The r8169 module
will not initialize the interface. I tried both 2.6.8 and 2.4.27
kernels.

Now begins the weird stuff. lspci and /proc/pci shows, that this card
says, that it is actually with realtek 8129 chip. This means, that
8139too module should actually drive this card. The 8129 is Fast
Ethernet, but i bought a gigabit ethernet card and the chip has 8169
written on it!

So i compiled the 8139too module. It sort of loaded, but with errors (i
don't have exact messages anymore). The 8139too module failed also to
drive this card.

So, being desperate, i hacked the r8169.c module source. I replaced the
0x8169 in PCI IDs list with 0x8129. Or i think i did something like
that, actually i am totally clueless, what i did... :-) After compile
the r8169 module finally loaded, but segfaulted right after. Kernel
Oopsed. OK, now i'm quite out ideas, what to try next.

What do you think? Is this kernel (r8169.c) problem or is it problem
with faulty hardware? Perhaps my NIC has simply wrong
BIOS/firmware/whatever flashed on it?


Juhan,
confused

Re: power-button >> poweroff

[Tim Ruehsen]

You should have ACPI enabled in BIOS and install the packages 'acpid' and 
'acpi'. If everything is working correctly, the acpi daemon gets an event, if 
you press the button. You can configure the wanted behaviour (e.g. calling 
'poweroff'). If it doesn't work, try APM (install package 'apmd' and 
uninstall ACPI stuff). 

Warning: It looks like several motherboard/BIOS combinations do not work 
correctly (just google a bit). E.g., my BIOS allows activation of ACPI, but 
there is not possibility to switch if OFF again... This is bad, since my 
integrated LAN adapter turns off with 'poweroff' but not ON again on restart. 
I have to unplug the powercable to activate it again (ok, now I have a 
powerswitch - it avoids unnessecary power consumption anyway).

I actually just had a problem with the 8139too module yesterday myself.
The error that it was giving me was about an invalid IRQ, and it wanted
me to load the module with a pci=bios (or something like that) option.
The workaround in my case, at least, was to go into the BIOS and disable
the Plug and Play OS feature so that the BIOS would assign an IRQ to the
device. Did that and the module loaded just fine.

But you are using a different card so YMMV.

Its probably configured to use the package files and not the package
names (I am guessing it uses dpkg). Get the basic installation with the
new installer (net install cd or something like that) and when it asks
for repositories (IIRC the procedure) start inserting the old cds. See
if that works.

Mouse Scrolling Troubles

[Noah Durell]

Hello,
My mouse (Logitech usb optical dell mouse, not sure of the exact name)
seems to have lost its wheel scrolling abilities under KDE.  This
happened after attempting to install the 2.6.8 kernel and reverting
back to the 2.4.27 kernel.  Anyway, I have tried many configurations
in the XFConfig-4 file and none of them seem to work.  Here is what I
have for the mouse in this file now:


Section "InputDevice"
Identifier  "Configured Mouse"
Driver  "mouse"
Option  "CorePointer"
Option  "Device""/dev/psaux"
Option  "Protocol"  "Auto"
Option  "Emulate3Buttons"   "false"
Option  "Buttons"   "5"
Option  "ZAxisMapping"  "4 5"
EndSection

What other files should I be looking at?  /etc/modules?

Thanks in advance,
Noah

Do you have website software installation enabled?  Check in
Edit->Preferences->Advanced.  There should be a check-box labelled
"Allow web sites to install software" under "Software Update".  If
that's checked and it still isn't working, try going to the
extension's homepage and downloading the .xpi file yourself -- it
could be that the "install now" link is broken.  Firefox should then
ask you if you want to install it.

One thing that comes to mind is, as has been mentioned,
password-protected gpg encryption, which seems to be what you intended
to say here.  There's no real reason
to have to carry multiple removable media, though.  All you need is a
protected "keyring" where the keys are really passwords.  Since
everything is secure so long as your master password is good, you can
store multiple copies of the keychain, keeping one on your home
machine.  You can create dummy secret keys and attach comments to them
(or so it would seem according to the man page -- I only see an option
to export them: --sk-comments).  The comments would be the passwords
for the accounts, which are the user IDs.

How so?  Do you mean you don't have a computer of your own at all, and
always have to use public or friends' machines?  That certainly could
complicate things, since you need a trustworthy environment in which
to set up your password keyring.

Another option is to do what a friend of mine does.  He has one "real"
password from which he generates the passwords he actually uses.  The
actual password for a system, say [EMAIL PROTECTED], is generated with a
cryptographically good hash function, such as SHA-1, by concatenating
the account name with the master password.  All you need is a way to
translate the 20-byte output into something that you can type in.  He
keeps the program to generate the passwords on his PDA, but there's no
reason it can't be kept in multiple places.  You end up only having to
remember one password, but you get a unique strong password for each
system.

It is.

I am wondering what I should do while I wait for the official Sarge

a) Download the unofficial Sarge anyway, since people run Sid without issues?
b) Download the installer ISO and see if it will use my other Woody discs to
complete install (will this work?)

No, it won't.
 
I guess the reverse question is whether the woody installer will work 
with the sarge CD's.


c) Just settle with MEPIS/Knoppix flavor for now

Why is that settling?  They're perfectly valid distributions.  I happen to
like Debian, but I don't denigrate Mepis, Gnoppix, Knoppix, Progeny, etc. 


Please also note that this is a networkless box, so I won't be connected to the
web any time soon with it - all installation and package updating will have to
be via disc.

On a networkless box, I'd be very afraid to use Sarge until it's stable,
because one a week or so I'm getting a multi-hundred megabyte update.  If
you install Sarge, you'll end up downloading multiple sets of install disks
before it's finally released, if you want to stay current.
Why not stick to either of the perfectly good distros you're using for a few
more months?

You don't say whether you are using CUPS, but I assume you are.  In case 
you don't get a more expert answer, the easy way out is to delete the 
printer and reinstall it.   Starting with a fresh printer ensures you 
have an empty queue.  You may also need to power down the printer in 
case it buffers data.

Alternatively you can look for the spool file in /var/spool/cups.  It 
will probably be called c1.  Deleting this may help -- but my 
experience is that it doesn't always get rid of the print job in 
progress. 

Your test page is probably not the job called Star office 
Job #1 -- it should not have come from StarOffice.  So you probably have 
another job waiting to print.
 
As to what caused the problem, I have had similar experiences when not 
all the cups packages were installed, so make sure you have all the 
required packages installed, including cupsys-bsd (that was the one 
that cause me difficulty). Also make sure when you re-install the 
printer that you get the right driver.

My kernel has the plug and play support compiled in, i don't think, this
is the problem. The trouble-NIC is made by Planet and its model code is
ENW-9605. I have a few other NICs from Planet (ENW-9605A). They all have
the same Realtek 8169 chip, difference is only that the latter has PXE
BootROM. Those NICs with BootROM work fine in the very same computer
with r8169 driver. And of course -- they show the expected PCI ID
(0x8169) when queried with lspci.

Only the one NIC is different (the one without BootROM). It has
different PCI ID (0x8129), although it has the very same chip. Linux
kernel refuses to play with it. I'm beginning more and more to think
that this weird NIC must have wrong firmware flashed on. I submitted a
message to the Planet's support form. Shall see, what the response is.

I'm a bit confused. He's reporting problems with scrolling but not
with general behaviour. If X is set to listen to /dev/psaux and its a
USB mouse then surely he shouldn't get any movement at all? Or can USB
be pushed through psaux somehow?

If you use the program 'xev' and look at the console output, do events
get generated for moving the wheel? If so, paste the contents into an
email.

Also see if your scroll wheel generates horizontal scroll events- i.e.
resize a KDE window too short on the horizontal axis so you have a
scrollbar and see if the wheel moves it. That can happen sometimes (I
have to remap my 4,5 and 6,7 buttons)

catch-all in /etc/aliases

[James Cummings]

Hi there, 

I'm using debian unstable and exim4 and forwarding a bunch of 
mail on for another system using /etc/aliases

Firstname.Lastname: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Firstname1.Lastname1: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
etc.

Is there a way to put a catch-all address in so that any 
mail I've not explicitly matched can be sent to  [EMAIL PROTECTED]  ?

I've tried just putting *: [EMAIL PROTECTED]  and 
doing @first.system.com :  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
but that doesn't seem to work.

Any other suggestions?

Help -- VeriSign Certificate install not happy

[Dan O'Brien]

Hi,

I'm trying to get a VeriSign certificate installed onto my Debian box and it's not going very well. I'm running apache-ssl.

Pervious to this installation, my box would boot and apache-ssl would load correctly. I had a fully operable SSL web site, minus the certificate. Now, apache-ssl will not load at all.

Following the instructions on the VeriSign web site, I created the CSR from within the following directory:

/usr/lib/ssl/certs

A few hours later, I received the VeriSign certificate and attempted to install it by following their step-by-step instructions, using vi to create a public.crt file:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/lib/ssl/certs# ls
getrootcert.cer  public.crt  public.csr  secureprivate.key

I then attempted to modify the /etc/apache-ssl/httpd.conf in the following manner, ignoring the SSLCA options and sticking with the straight-up SSL options.

# Point SSLCertificateFile at a PEM encoded certificate.
# If the certificate is encrypted, then you will be prompted for a pass phrase.
# Note that a kill -1 will prompt again.
# A test certificate can be generated with "make certificate".
#SSLCertificateFile /u/ben/apache/apache_1.2.6-ssl/SSLconf/conf/t1.pem
SSLCertificateFile /usr/lib/ssl/certs/public.crt

# If the key is not combined with the certificate, use this directive to
# point at the key file. If this starts with a '/' it specifies an absolute
# path, otherwise it is relative to the default certificate area. That is, it
# means "/private/".
SSLCertificateKeyFile /usr/lib/ssl/certs/secureprivate.key

I re-booted the system and found that I could no longer ssh in as my sudo user. I was forced to log in as root. Also, the httpd would not start automatically. I attempted to start it manually and the system requested my certificate password, which I entered without apparent negative results. However, the server did not launch.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/sbin# ./apache-sslctl start
./apache-sslctl start: httpsd could not be started

I blanked the lines in the httpd.conf and rebooted. Now I can ssh in once again as my sudo user, but the httpd will not launch. Manual attempts are no good. I spoke to one Verisign support tech and she was hostile and unhelpful.

Here's my kernel info:

2.4.18-bf2.4 #1 Mon Apr 12 11:37:50 UTC 2004 i686 unknown

Here's my apache and ssl versions. I run apt-get update frequently:

Apache1.3.26-0woo
openssl0.9.6c-2.woody.6

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

base-config error in Sarge

[Rituraj Buddhisagar]

Hi all;

 

I am fairly new to debian. I took a bold step of replacing
my WinXP office desktop with Debian Sarge.

 

After initial install completes, it reboots. So far so good.

 

I am getting problem in base-config when it asks for “package
selection”. I selected different options like Desktop , file server etc
with different mirrors (with http as well as ftp) but it fails saying something
like cannot proceed “as the packages might have been broken, or the
system is out of space or u r having some other problem” etc etc. I have
25GB FREE space.

 

H/W: Dell desktop Optiplex GX270

Method of installation Used: netboot from mini.iso

Base-config: ftp / http (tried both with different mirrors)

 

Currently I am doing #apt-get
install gnome to get GUI on my workstation. Its downloading from
ftp. Lets see. Do I have to install anything else from apt-get to get my GUI
running? I hope I can configure other things afterwards through synaptic.

 

Thanks and Regards;

Rituraj

Re: Secure Password Storage

[Icebiker]

This isn't a linux or open license solution, but FWIW I've been very happy 
using password vault software on my Palm to hold ~100 passwords and magic 
numbers. I'm using Dataviz's Password Plus, but there are lots of them out 
there, and they're relatively cheap.

I've yet to get kpilot going, but when I do I'm hoping that Palm 
applications won't care what OS the data is being backed up to, and all I 
need to do is get the .prc files onto the Palm.

Of course, this means you have to have a Palm and keep it charged and buy 
commercial software so there are infrastructure issues, but it really works 
for me.

Subject: Secure Password Storage


Ok, so I know that using key based authentication is better, and that
you should never write down passwords. But, I don't know of any websites
that allow key based authentication (yet) and 135+ passwords is hard to
memorize. :-)
So, my next thought was removeable media. But, what happens if I lose
the removeable media (falls out of my pocket, gets stolen, etc.), or a
'friend' snoops files they shouldn't?
I could encrypt them using ssh, but now I have to carry a second
removeable media with me at all times - for my ssh key - and hope I
don't lose both pieces of media at the same time. If I don't carry my
ssh key with me, I've just lost the functionality of always having my
passwords with me. I could do a password protected zip file, but that
seems pretty weak to me.
I also don't have a laptop, so I realize that presents a whole new set
of complications and ways for privacy/security to be compromised in
regard to my passwords and keyloggers, etc.
So, does anyone have any other suggestions for good ways to store
passwords in a fashion I can carry with me yet keep them secure? I'm
pretty much resigned to the fact that anyone that *really* wants to get
the passwords can, if they have the removeable media and enough time,
but I don't want to make it any easier on them than I have to.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
TIA,
Jacob

I've been using Sarge for about three months (migrated from SUSE) and security

Hello Richard
 Problem solved. I uninstalled printer as you suggested and reinstalled. My 
printer is a bjc 4400 350x350 but it will print 350x720. To print this 
resolution you have to use Bjc 6000 driver so that is what I installed. All 
this according to my Canon maual.   Printing looks good. I plan to install as 
a second printer under a diferent printer name as 350x350  just to see what 
happens.
 I probably  did have a Star office print job qued in as I had been looking 
over that program prior to installing my printer.
  Thanks much,
 Doug

hdparm -U

[pir aa]

Hi,

I used the command hdparm -U 1 /dev/hdc1 to unregister the ide1 interface.

The PC responded with:
attempting to unregister hwif#1

But that's it. And as far as I understand the C code, than -U doesn't really
do antything. I only found:

if (unregister_hwif) {
printf(" attempting to unregister hwif#%u\n", hwif);
if (ioctl(fd, HDIO_UNREGISTER_HWIF, hwif))
perror(" HDIO_UNREGISTER_HWIF failed");
}

IMHO: hdparm -U only prints one line if successful and that's it. What did I
miss

An alternative viewpoint:

I'm glad that somebody seriously asked, and that the answer was a resounding 
"no!".  Granted, $50,000 isn't a lot of money as far as these things go, 
but the answer was "it's not for sale" instead of "the offer is too low".  
Personally, I'm *glad* that it all happened just the way it did.

Same here.  I've been using SplashID as a vault and am completely happy with 
it.  What would make me *happier* is to see a conduit that synced SplashID 
with the KDE wallet manager.  The happiest solution for me would be that 
conduit syncing with a Free password manager that works as well as 
SplashID.

How about Keyring for Palm OS.  That's about as cheap as you can get

ALSA with vi82xx loading and static problems

[Johnny Huynh]

Hi,

A while back, I had sound working with kernel 2.6.8. But I had to switch
to a 2.4 kernel for a while and sound broke. It continues to be broken 
after switching back to 2.6.x. (I never deleted any of the kernels, just
booting different images through LILO). I specifically want to use
2.6.6 now...

First, dmesg shows a LOT of lines looking like:
snd_{pcm|seq_device|rawmidi|via82xx|...}: Unknown symbol snd_*

(i.e. lots of modules, with lots of unknown symbols)

After booting up, I tried manually running "modprobe snd", but I'd get

$ modprobe snd 
FATAL: Error inserting snd (/lib/modules/2.6.6/kernel/sound/core/snd.ko): 
Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

But if I goto the modules dir, and manually run "insmod snd.ko", the 
modules load... So why doesnt it load normally on startup or the first 
time I run modprobe?

After loading, I can run alsaconf/alsactl without errors. KDE/arts also 
stops reporting errors. But the only thing coming out of the speakers 
is static.

Here is my lsmod and lspci output if it helps:

$ lsmod | grep snd
snd_via82xx22144  0 
snd_pcm84360  1 snd_via82xx
snd_ac97_codec 61444  1 snd_via82xx
snd_mpu401_uart 6144  1 snd_via82xx
snd_rawmidi20128  1 snd_mpu401_uart
snd_seq49104  0

snd_via82xx,snd_pcm,snd_ac97_codec,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq,snd_timer,snd_seq_device
soundcore   7392  1 snd
snd_page_alloc  8964  2 snd_via82xx,snd_pcm

$ lspci -v
:00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.

Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 10
I/O ports at dc00 [size=256]
Capabilities: [c0] Power Management version 2


Any help with either/both problems is appreciated. Also, only the second 
problem (static) shows up when using the kernel 2.6.8, but I still need to
figure out the module loading problem in 2.6.6.

Thanks,

If I'm not mistaken, you can also delete jobs in the queue using cups'
web interface (if not a command line tool, as well). 

In your web browser, go to http://localhost:631, then click the "Manage
Printers" link, click on the printer with the jobs to be canceled and
then delete the appropriate jobs from the queue. (Looks like you can
click the "Manage Jobs" link as well, instead of "Manage Printers".)

Jacob

Help! System hosed.

[Marc Shapiro]

Last Friday, the clip holding my CPU heatsink in place broke.  Naturally, the CPU got 
overheated and fried.  On Tuesday, I got a new case, power supply, motherboard, CPU 
and memory.  I moved my HD and floppy to the new case and installed a new CDRW/DVD 
drive.  Then, I powered up the system.

It seemed to boot OK.  X started up with no apparent problems.  I had a bad connection 
on the CDRW, but that didn't keep the system from working, otherwise.

I set the date correctly and rebooted.

That is where everything went wrong.  I got dumped into single user mode to run fsck 
manually.  This always scares me nearly to death.  The last time that I did this, I 
took all the defaults and everything was fine after that.  This time, I was not so 
lucky.

The system now boots with no apparent problems, and I can run console apps with few, 
if any problems, but occaisonally, messages pop up like:

NET: Reistered protocol family 10
Disabled privacy Extentions on device c02f17c0(lo)
IPv6 over IPv4 tunnelin driver

I have seen this error, or its near cousin numerous times, but it does not seem to 
prevent me from continuing.

X is another matter.  Running startx usually just hangs the system with a blank 
screen.  I just tried it again, however, and the server actually displayed my 
background color for a few seconds before it died, dumping me back at the console with 
a bunch of messages like:

Warning: font renderer for :.bdf.Z" already registered at priority 0

and a number of warnings from FVWM, such as:

<> Couldn't load image from /usr/share/imp/2.0/images/wilber-icon.png

I just tried it again: blank screen, completely hung.   did nothing 
 did reboot, but nothing shows on screen as the system goes down, it 
stays blank until the BIOS messages appear after the reboot.

I am assuming that some of my files are hosed, but I have no idea what, or how to fix 
it.  If I do 'apt-get update' it gives me an error about losing the http connection.  
'apt-get upgrade' always seg-faults.  'dpkg -l' sometimes works (I got a hard coppy of 
my installed packages) and sometime doesn't.  I just ran it three times, the first 
time gave me a correct listing, the second time gave the following error:

dpkg-query: parse error, in file 'var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 782 package 
'libfreetype6':
field name '$' must be followed by a colon

The third time seg-faulted immediately.

If I can't run either apt, or dpkg, how would I fix this even if I knew what the 
problem was?  Do I have to wipe everything but my 'home' partition and reinstall from 
scratch and the package listing that I did manage to print out?  Is there any way 
short of this rather drastic approach?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.  Please!

What I did was put all the iwconfig commands in a script, and then ran
the script via a pre-up entry for the interface. Works like a charm.

On the other hand, I don't think ifconfig reads the interfaces file
unless it's run by way of ifup or ifdown. Maybe I'm wrong, but that
could be the problem.

Sorry for the confusion.  Not scrolling but able to start x again.  I

hmm... This looks interesting. Any way to run something like this from
a desktop? Even better if it has both a Linux and a Windows version, but
since I can boot off the usb key to get into Linux, a Linux-only program
would be fine too.

Read AAC (.m4a) with xmms

[Christophe Courtois]

 Hi,
 I'd like to know if there is a way to play AAC file (.m4a from CDs 
ripped on a Mac for example) with XMMS. Is something already packaged ? 

(This is already possible with mplayer and the packages from Marillat, 
but I prefer xmms).

 Thanks for any answer!

Multiple CD ISO's into single DVD ISO?

[Eric Wagar]

I have read in a few places that it is possible to put
multiple RedHat
(http://www.linuxcompatible.org/story14425.html) CD
ISO's into a single DVD ISO.

But, I was not able to find any file like a .discinfo
(referenced in above article about which disk, etc) 
on Debian.

Has anyone been able to do the multi CD's into single
DVD?  If so, how?

Thanks
Eric

PS  I ask because I would like to be able to carry a
single disc instead of multiple.  And, I already have
the CD ISO's.

apache + mass virtual hosting +tomcat please help

[Cristi Banciu]

Hi,
I have configured apache with mass virtual hosting by adding following 
line to apache's conf files.

VirtualDocumentRoot /var/vhosts/%0/httpdocs/
and everything seems to work just fine with a little exception.
Few virtual sites needs tomcat in order to work. I have installed 
tomcat4 and mod_jk2, but I have no idea how could I tell that
www.tomcatsite.com which is /var/vhosts/www.tomcatsite.com/httpdocs is a 
site that requires java ?

Sorry if I am confuse!

Video is 'on board' the motherboard, so it is new, not from the old system.

I have an old copy of Knoppix, but it can't handle the new video, apparently, and will 
not start X.  I tried that yesterday.

Also new memory, since the old MB used PC133 and the new one uses DDR333.
The only things moved from the old box to the new one are two HDs and the FD.  
Everything else is new.

I just rebooted after a kernel panic and, again, had to run fsck manually.  I am 
beginnin to wonder if my HD is going flaky.

Debian & Contivity VPN

[Jeremy Brooks]

We use a Contivity VPN switch where I work.  There is a linux client from
Apani that works just fine with kernel >= 2.4.21.  And they have a beta
that works with 2.6.8, but ONLY on RH/Fedora/Suse.  When used with Debian,
it just causes kernel panics.   And the soultion is "Don't use Debian".

So...has anybody used another VPN client successfully with
Debian+2.6.8+Contivity?

IIRC Tomcat is a standalone program, not a plugin for apache. This means
tomcat needs to listen on port 80 in order to serve http requests, and
this is exactly the port where apache wants to listen on (and apparently
is listening on, if all this mass virtual hosting is actually working).

So I think it is not possible to have apache serve requests to
http://somesite1.com and tomcat requests for http://somesite2.com
(although there might be a workaround with bridged networking etc). The
easiest solution I see is letting tomcat run on port 81 (for instance),
and tell apache to redirect any requests for http://www.tomcatsite.com/
to http://www.tomcatsite.com:81/, which tomcat will then serve (probably
in a manner similar to the one you defined in apache).

Hope I made it somewhat clearer...

Yes, I run tomcat on 8080 and I am using mod_jk2 to bind tomcat with 
apache. I just don't know how to tell apache to call tomcat for
one particular virtual host .

Hope I made it somewhat clearer...

PHP not including

[Michael Satterwhite]

I have a new installation of Debian Sid with Apache2 / PHP 4. PHP seems to be 
working fine - except that include() and require() are failing. The script 
that I'm trying to include is in the same directory as the page that is 
executing. When it hits the include statement, I get the error message:

Warning: main(): Failed opening 'connectDB.php' for inclusion 
(include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') 
in /var/www/apache2-default/lonestar/internetspecials.php on line 26

The owner and group of the included item is the same as the php script 
containing the include statement. Can anyone suggest what I'm missing in the 
config?

I can't help with the OPs problem, but Tomcat does run standalone or integrated
into Apache. Makes sense as Tomcat is part of the Apache project. See;

Sarge with lilo?

[Preston Boyington]

I've been trying off and on to install Sarge onto a Gateway Solo 1150 laptop without 
great success.  Each time I would complete the install, the computer would reboot, and 
the laptop would hang at GRUB's boot loader.  Since I know that the installer is still 
evolving, I didn't think much of it.

Well after trying the latest netinst and Official Snapshot cdrom 1 today (again 
without total sucess) I decided to try an older Woody netinst cdrom I had.  Long story 
short it installed very quick and painless.  I am wondering now if it was just the 
difference between LiLo and GRUB.  

If this is the case how would I go about finding out why GRUB doesn't seem to work?

Thanks all,
Preston

The Sarge installer (at least the version I used, on DVD) allowes you to
choose between Grub and Lilo. Maybe you have to select expert mode to
make that choice available.

I am also not sure when exactly your Sarge hang - at the Grub screen, or
the moment you tried to boot the system from Grub. If the latter is the
case, then it is maybe a kernel problem.

It happens when Grub starts to boot my system.  I see the following:

root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinz-2.6.8-1-386 root=/dev/hda1 ro
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.8-1-386
savedefault
boot

after that, nothing.

Well, I don't know about concatenating all the disks into a single
dvd, but certainly you could, for instance, mount all the cds then
burn them all to dvd that way.  But you would have multiple lines in
sources.list (one for each cd you added to the disk). To me this
wouldn't be so bad at all.  You could make it really easy by putting a
README in the root of it that had a sources.list you could just copy
to /etc/apt.

Then again, sarge takes up two dvds.

I am also not sure when exactly your Sarge hang - at the Grub screen, or
the moment you tried to boot the system from Grub. If the latter is the

Does it work on a vanilla kernel (from kernel.org) compiled on red
hat? If so, the same should apply to debian. Seems worth a try ...

compile src or make .deb pkg?

[Steve]

Hey,
So what do you on debian if you want a newer 
version of a program or a program that isnt in apt-get's list at all, just go 
get the src and compile it? and it should be fine or would this makes 
things unstable? (just something like xchat or whatever normal app) or make a 
quick (if possible) deb pkg out of the source and install it? 
thanks.

I think that an easy way to do this is to get an rpm
package and use alien to convert it to *.deb. 

I am sure there are a much more ways but at least for
me this works fine. Also compiling the package if
necesary works too.

I hope this help.

Maybe it is some kernel problem. Try some parameters like acpi=off, or
noapic. Press "e" to go to edit mode, select the kernel line, press e
again, and append acpi=off noapic nodma apm=off. Press b. Maybe install
using the linux24 option, using kernel 2.4 during installation.

Yes, that is correct.  Use Manage jobs for jobs and Manage printers for 
printers - you can modify, configure, or even delete and install 
printers from the web interface.  This is how I usually work.

But, a small warning, you do need to have the access permissions set up 
right.  I have one box where cups won't let me change anything and I 
cannot see what I have configured wrong.  

A great advantage of the web interface is you don't need X running to 
use it -- just access it via lynx (or other text-i/f browser).

There's a psresize command in the psutils package. I couldn't get good

but maybe a plain document A4->letter is simpler to handle.

Just go get a Red Hat kernel (I guess from FC3) and build and install it
on your Debian box.

In the corporate world, unfortunately, there are a number of products
that have binary-only kernel modules and 99% of the time they don't
support much other than Red Hat.  Combined with the fact that Red Hat
applies tons of patches to their kernels, most of these KLMs don't work
with kernel.org aligned kernels like Debian.


But, it's all still under the GPL so you can just go get the source for
Red Hat's kernel, unpack it, use kernel-package to build it into a dpkg,
and install it.  One nice thing about Linux is that the kernel and
userspace are almost completely separate.

I do it this kind of thing all the time.

Dunno about sarge, but there's a /etc/network/if-up.d/ here.  If
you're using a modem, there's /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/

You probably will never need much of the stuff on the seven CDs. Debian
contains many pre-compiled packages of user software which fill most of
the space. For Sarge, the number of CDs will be even larger once it is
released. 

If you are intending to set up a computer lab, do you have plans to network
the computers and give them any access to the internet? If you plan to 
network them, you should consider the following approach:

1. Do a netinstall of Sarge on the computer that will be the administrator/
instructor workstation.

2. Install apt-proxy on this computer. Set it up to get packages from a 
nearby Debian repository (i.e. not half way around the World).

3. Adjust /etc/apt/sources.list to get Debian packages through this proxy.
3a. Install some more packages to ensure that your proxy is working properly.

4. For the next machine, make netinstall address its requests for downloads
to the local apt-proxy. The proxy will retain copies of everything that
is needed for all subsequent machines.

5. Continue to do netinstall on all subsequent machines. These installs will
procede at local area network (LAN) speed, which is almost as fast as reading
from a CD, and does not involve any delays as you switch from one CD to the
next.

If this doesn't make sense, ask questions and I will attempt to clarify.

It's probably because unstable keeps changing all the time (ie no real 
releases) that there are no CD images available. They would never be 
up-to-date if there were.

I would probably check if it's in something like backports.org.
Otherwise, I might add the src for Sid, and download, compile and
install that that.
Lastly, I just get the original package and compile and install that
(but only if there are no other packages depending on it, like I used to
do it with Gaim).  If there are other packages that depends on it, I
might create an equivs-debian package.

On my system  I put a firewall script in /etc/init.d and have it loaded on startup.  
But this is on a LAN.  You may want to do things differently for dial-up.

I'll second the recommendation for keyring. 

Jpilot gives you full editing access to the keyring under linux. There are a
couple of read-only viewers for windows, but nothing r/w. It should be noted
that in order to use these 'conduits' you have to hotsync your palm with the
computer, which means that palm desktop software would have to be installed
on each machine and the contents of your palm would be backed up to their
HDs. This is probably not something that you want to do casually on machines
you ocassionally use. If you can pull off the usb-linux trick this could be
avoided.
