Re: Debian evaluation copy

[Nayyar Ahmed]

Hello Rani,
You can download these from debian official site
but before download please check out which release
you need for your evaluation.

I think Laurent had made effort to write the URL -;)
You should visit it.

regards,

Info modem

[Mauro]

Ciao sono passato a linux da appena tre giorni installando sull'hd knoppix
3.6 ma di friendly ho trovato poco non riesco a configurare quasi nulla
dalla sk video al chipset al modem penso che col tempo e con l'aiuto di
qualcuno dovrei riuscirci, principèalmentye mi interesserebbe sapere come
poter fare funzionare il modem conexant pci : praticamente credo di averlo
configuarto bene seguendo alcuni tutorial che ho trovato e mi dice la
finestra di dialogo che il modem è pronto , quando però deve connettersi mi
dice che non risponde... se riuscissi almeno a configurare il modem potrei
utilizzare internet da linux e provare a capire come utilizzare il resto
delle periferiche che non credo siano configuarte bene anche perchè ora ogni
volta per connettermi devo tornare a windows ciao e grazie Mauro

Get off your soapbox.  There have been these things called "floppies" 
for a hell of a long time and they can be yanked without the kernel 
barfing.

If I mark it Sync, I can yank the damn thing.  Just look what this guy 
is doing with the usbmount script.

If I yank it at the wrong time, I fully expect to lose data.  I do not 
expect the kernel to panic.

Re:%20Re: Firefox(0.10.1+1.0PR-4) window doesn't open.

[[KS]]

Hello John,

The .mozilla directory should not matter. Its the
firefox directory in the .mozilla directory which
carries the mozilla-firefox profile. Removing .mozilla
directory would have meant moving my Seamonkey profile
in the process, which didn't seem to be the root of
the problem.

Firefox is running for me now. I did apt-get --purge
remove mozilla-firefox. And it told me that purging
was not complete as some directories were not empty. I
was confused because the plugins directory wasn't
empty as I had removed the livehttpheaders and diggler
extensions I used with Firefox. But on further
investigation I saw that Mozilla Seamonkey and Mozilla
Firefox packages both use the same extensions
packages. There were indications of a couple of
extensions still listed(under extensions dir) which
were working in Mozilla Seamonkey, but which were not
listed in Mozilla Firefox (old version, 0.9.3). These
extensions although not visible were still listed in
the plugins directory. Its quite possible that they
may have been diabled in one of the earlier upgrade of
Firefox.

So, I had to remove 'all' mozilla/firefox extensions
and then reinstall Firefox. Got Firefox running and
then again had to reinstall the few extensions to be
able to use them!!

Simply "disabling" an extension if it is not
compatible with an upgrade is not a good idea. The
user should be shown the complete list of extensions
which are listed in the extensions folder (e.g.
/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/extensions) with an indicator
that it is enabled or disabled. Although a better
place for this suggestion would be Mozillazine, but I
thought of writing here just for the record.

Thanks,
/KS

Found the problem, somehow xfree86 was looking at some other configfile, 
because the settings in XF86Config-4 set by dpkg-reconfigure were not 
saved. After apt-get remove --purge xserver-xfree86 xserver-common and 
reinstalling apt-get install xserver-common xserver-xfree86 everythingg was 
fine again.

Now i can use kde again :), although i must say gnome looked pretty good.

The advantage of ndiswrapper is that it runs Ndis (Windows network
driver API) drivers supplied by the vendors - usually on a CD included
with the product. This means that there is a good chance that your card
should work. I have a D-link AirPlusXtremeG DWL-G650 wifi cardbus

Get hold of the Debian CD set (not Knoppix) and install from CD
(http://www.debian.org/distrib/)

Also, read the installation manual

You can skip step one of course, unless you want to compile a more
recent kernel than the one you downloaded already. Other than that,
you need to take the same steps. Of course you use "Custom.2" for the
revision name now. When you enter menuconfig the options you
previously had selected are still selected. You only need to find the
options for those modules you want to install and select them. The
time needed for compiling should be a lot smaller now, as you already
compiled most stuff the first time. The new modules are compiled, then
integrated and you're done.

Knoppix indeed recognized and initialized my shiny new Sandisk 8-in-1 and
Canon A-75! What's this? uname -r shows a 2.4 kernel- hmmm,
musta entered boot params incorrectly- reboot to 2.6 kernel- same probs.
as in Sarge. Mandrake Move is only live cd I tried with 2.6 kernel that
actually worked, and it worked perfectly (re usb devices; actually, it's
pretty slick overall, and as an (ex) Drakie, I got a bit misty). However,
unable to translate Mandrake to Debian, so a reversion to a 2.4 kernel was
in order (now experiencing a more joyful state of mind). BTW, I'm using
ga-7ixe, so will be keenly watching thread- good luck to us both!!

Hence 'stable'. Which is why the release cycle is so long.

I don't have the resources or the time to sit through a gentoo install
and write performance comparison tests. If you've done this like you

[Icebiker]

I was able to play jpegs on my dvd player (a Koss cheapie), using a data CD 
created on Windows.

Not all dvd players support playing dvds, you want to read the box real 
closely before you buy. There are also standards for formatting the dvd that 
gives you some control over how the pictures are displayed.

I thought it was a waste of time. The rendering time for a 1.2MB image was 
slooow, maybe 15-20s. A much lower resolution image would probably 
display faster, but then the disk would only be good for displaying on TV, 
and useless for making prints. I didn't need extra CDs kicking around.

Secondly, the displayed pictures were extremely contrasty and lacking in a 
lot of detail.

In all, I thought it was pretty unusable. A more expensive dvd player might 
resolve some of the issues.

Subject: OT, dvd player playable jpeg pictures

Hi,
Anybody know what kind of jpeg pictures are playable in normal dvd player?
I burned some, but it seems that DVD players are very picky about the
pictures they can show.
My DVD player manual can't help me with this. I've looked everywhere, but
didn't find any relevant information.
Anybody can help?
Thanks a lot

Have you got agpgart in the kernel? I suspect not. Having it as a
module and loading it before starting X (e.g. via /etc/modules) should
work too...

The fglrx package *will* overwrite the GL stuff - apparantly they do
hardware accelleration of it, whereas the generic VESA one doesn't.

If you don't need the old vesa one, you could:
dpkg --force-overwrite --install fglrx_4.3.0-4.14_i386.deb 
(you probably have to convert it to a .deb first and then install
separately)

Hope this helps

You have several possibilities:

- run a separate X server that can be used by another user
 - configure a second XFree86 config file, and turn on and off
   the X server as you would the first.

- run a separate X display that can be used for more programs
 - add a new Display and Monitor section to your existing
   XFree86 config file 

- run an integrated X screen that is part of the same desktop;
  windows can be moved around and between the two monitors.
 - add the new Display and Monitor section, and enable Xinerama.

Because what mplayer puts out, mencoder can digitize. Since my goal is

XINE does indeed play a DVD perfectly, but it does not encode. The

I had a similar experience when I got my shiny new Asus X800 XT.. ATI's
official drivers (proprietary) do not yet support their PCIE products;
neither does XFree86 (as far as I was able to tell).

My solution was to install x.org from source; this may work for you as
well (no 3d support, but 2d works quite well).  You can find a
reasonable description of how to do this non-intrusively
(into /usr/local) at this site:
http://incubator.vislab.usyd.edu.au/roller/page/Steve?catname=Debian

There are some comments below (myself and others) on how to integrate it
with Debian (ie. make things like gdm/startx work seamlessly).

Re: using scp to move files

[diego]

Well, I googled around a bit and found something:

http://www.employees.org/~satch/ssh/faq/manpages/scp2_man.html
you can see that this option is in 'scp2' (that uses ssh v2).

The problem re-reading this is it's from ssh.com , not OpenSSH's
package... and it seems (have no more time by now) it is not
opensource... :-(( 

Have a look anyway to see if it suits you or anyone has added this to
openssh recently..

tcp_diag and Perl

[Henrik Christian Grove]

Hi

On LKML I've been adviced to use the tcp_diag interface. As the program
I need it in is written in Perl, I would like to find a Perl interface.

`apt-cache search tcp_diag` finds nothing. By googling I've found that
the perl package in SuSE contains a file called tcp_diag.ph that isn't
in debian's perl-package (or any other as far as apt-file allows me to
see), anybody that knows why? Or just know some Perl-interface to
tcp_diag?

C/C++ code to read from /dev/ttyS0

[Michael Bernhard Sørensen]

Hi there.
I'm writing a small program to read single characters/short strings from 
a serial device on my com port. But I can't get it to work. It might be 
a baud rate problem.

I can send strings from another tty to my ttyS0 through a null modem 
cable, and it works fine.

If anyone know of a link to some code to handle that problem, I sure 
could use it. :-)

Thanks in advance.

This is a english only mailing list, you should have more audience if
you try with debian-italian.

I don't know the conexant pci modem, i suspect it's a windos modem.
You'll probably have more luck if you ask about it in a Knoppix
mailing list or forum, Knoppix is Debian based, but only for the
package management, the underlying system is quite different. Anyway
i've found a couple of quick link about your modem:

http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2557
http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=16980


Andrea

P.S. maybe your Knoppix don't know about the free tone used in Italy,
there is a modem AT command to ignore the line free tone before
dialing a number, look if there is an option like this...

The netboot installer does not need to contain hard disk drivers,
because it downloads them, along with most of the rest of the installer,
from the network.

I suggest you file an installation report and be sure to include lspci
and lspci -n information.

Information about your leases is probably stored in the textfile
"/var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.leases" (or maybe
"/var/run/dhclient.eth0.leases", depending on your configuration).
There may be several unexpired leases there, only one of which you're
using.  Generally, if you do:

   egrep expire /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.leases

to list all the expiry times, the last (both the last displayed and
the latest date) will be when your current lease expires.

If you don't really need the libapache-mod-perl package, remove it.  If you 
do, file a bug report, or report your error to the debian-apache list.

Sounds like your disk is bad.  Check the md5sum of the image.  If that's 
wrong, you'll need to download the image again.  If that's right, you may 
have just gotten a bad burn.  Try burning another CD.

If all else fails, the Debian homepage has links where you can buy CD images 
for basically the cost of the media (and shipping).

Hi Debian!
Anybody knows what the differences are between the nv Xfree86 driver 
(Sarge version)  and the Nvidia closed source driver (I use 6111)?

I have used both and see little difference, except that with the former 
I cannot get glx to work.

Thanks.
Hugo

The difference I noticed is in the XF86Config-4.conf:
1. I had to use modes to use 1280x1024, with Nvidia I don't.
2. I run two X servers for 2 displays, one on AGP TNT2 and one on PCI 
MX-440. If I restart the second server, the character sizes change, from 
"normal" to tiny. I can get them back to normal by restarting gdm.

The only errors I see:
Symbol __glXActiveScreens from module 
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libdri.a is unresolved!
Symbol __glXActiveScreens from module 
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libdri.a is unresolved!

And I think I have DRI, at least the log seems to indicate so, saying it 
started the driver.

The package that got me this is: x-window-system  4.3.0.dfsg.1-8
which I get from the latest Sarge.
For the rest I notice no difference in speed, but I am no gamer, except 
for the first race in tuxracer when I know I have glx.

Re: I want to set-up dial-up server

[John Hasler]

Use Pppconfig to configure the "server" for demand dialing and make it the
gateway for all the other machines.  You'll want to configure NAT and a
fire wall.

You may also want to set up Fetchmail to download mail and feed it to Exim
or Postfix for delivery to the local machines, perhaps after virus and spam
filtering.  The server can also be your smarthost for outgoing mail.

Other services to consider are Privoxy or similar for Web proxying and
Leafnode or similar for news.

Hmm, why did you use /dev/sr0?  Is /dev/dvd a link pointing to it?  If it 
is, then please post the full listing of /dev/sr0.  If it's not, indicate 
why you think /dev/sr0 is the proper device node.

The error "No medium found" means mount thinks the drive is correct, but 
there's no readable disk in it.  What disk are you trying to mount?  Don't 
try to mount a music CD.  Make sure whatever disk you're using is valid, or 
else you'll never get this error to disappear.  Do you have a known good 
data disk you can try?

You could try ALSA and the snd-intel8x0 driver. What kernel and Debian
version do you use? Maybe the kernel OSS driver is too old, and a newer
kernel would work.

First things first I guess. You will want to get a working dial up

and get connected. It's easy after that to set an internal nic to do ip

I prefer to think of my responses as "probing".

The question about PCI hotplug was very honest, since PCI hotplug
refers to pulling PCI cards out of live systems, and that, to my
understanding, has nothing to do with USB (which is hotplug by
definition).

Note, though, that the hotplug package "includes support for PCI,
Cardbus (PCMCIA), USB and Firewire devices  and can automatically
configure network interfaces."

Creating Custom Install CD.

I've been looking into creating a custom install CD that would install
Debian using a listing of packages of my choice. At first I thought that
using the autoinstall package would be the way to go, however it won't
work for a CD and I am unable to find a minimal.tar.gz file anywhere.

Does anybody have any suggestions to get this to work under debian

Do you have an old machine?  It's bios may not support ISOLINUX.  See the

I have this issue.  Unfortunately, we have a lot of ld hardware at work

We need to hear why they are moving to Fedora Core and what problems

Yeah, that's possible ;-)
Once, I was taking over administration of one server on my university

...two months ago I decided to move from Slack to Debian because

Debian provides me with 3 releases of system (stable, testing,

I don't think the CPU is your problem. Do you have a TNT-2 or older
Nvidia chip? The XVideo support for them is not complete, which means
taht watching videos becomes _very_ CPU intensive. Although, the nvidia
drivers does support XVideo at TNT-2. With modern Nvidia cards, I did
not notice any big difference except of GLX support. And the NV driver
is less buggy WRT power saving system modes.

Looking at gdkmain-x11.c I see that request_code 45 is an error in
X_OpenFont. Interestingly both apps you mention use gtk1.2 which led me

I mean, what should be the standard place to access DVD in my current

Debian Sarge - I can burn CDs using K3B from the GUI, but I can't do

Debian on HP DL360?

[debian]

I have a few DL360 G2's with compaq smart arrays I need to install
on. I've tried a few of the different netinst images on the website, most
of them seem to be broken right now (perhaps due to the new release?)
failing md5 and missing files.. The ones that don't seem to be broken do
not have the cciss drivers, or the drivers for the compaq nic.

Does anybody know where I can find a working netinst image for these servers?

If the printer and

occasionally can I get "/etc/init.d/hotplug restart" to complete

never worked for me
 

This weekend I downloaded Knoppix and found something interesting when
booting in the "expert26" mode.  Hotplug will find the USB ports but not
load anything.  It then says firewire is found on my computer (there is no
firewire capability on this motherboard and I own no firewire devices) and
goes on to "configure" the firewire devices it finds.
   

ditto on firewire (non-existent); 

 

Once booted I can install my printer but it immediately says the printer
is paused as no such device is available on this machine.
Why this is so interesting is because I compiled my own 2.6.8 kernel
using a Knoppix .config file.  Apparently there seems to be a bug either
in the hardware on my motherboard (Gigabyte GA-7IXE4) or in the way the
Knoppix .config file is recognizing my hardware.
   

Knoppix indeed recognized and initialized my shiny new Sandisk 8-in-1 and
Canon A-75! What's this? uname -r shows a 2.4 kernel- hmmm,
musta entered boot params incorrectly- reboot to 2.6 kernel- same probs.
as in Sarge. Mandrake Move is only live cd I tried with 2.6 kernel that
actually worked, and it worked perfectly (re usb devices; actually, it's
pretty slick overall, and as an (ex) Drakie, I got a bit misty). However,
unable to translate Mandrake to Debian, so a reversion to a 2.4 kernel was
in order (now experiencing a more joyful state of mind). BTW, I'm using
ga-7ixe, so will be keenly watching thread- good luck to us both!!

 

Hmmm...  This looks like a group of Gigabyte mobo users all having the 
same problem.  I wonder if the bug is in the usb controller Gigabyte is 
using or in the kernel?  I also get some error messages related to usb 
with a 2.4.27-1-k7 Debian-built kernel too.  However, once it boots all 
usb devices work correctly.  The error on the 2.4 kernel during boot is 
usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout.  It will timeout anywhere from 4 to 10 
times before everything loads properly. 

My printer is an HP Deskjet 895C and my scanner is an HP 6200 C. 

Oh, and about my mobo having a lan port as a firewire port, well, this 
mobo was made before firewire even existed.

Need help: How to replace NIC card with another brand

[Gary]

I need to replace my NIC card and have an Intel NIC card as a
replacement. The system is already built and configured for the old
card. Do I need to add the module to the kernel? I have never done
that after building the system, so how do I go about it? How do I
configure the NIC for 10 meg speed and half duplex?
System is woody, kernel 2.4.

What do you get with

$ cdrecord -scanbus -dev=ATAPI

then you can use -dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 or -dev=ATAPI:0,1,0
etc. with cdrecord depending upong which drive you
want to use for writing.

This seems a javascript issue, not a Java one. I think you have very

kernel-source-2.4.18 freezes debian woody

[Oliver Fuchs]

Hi,

at the moment I am trying to update (change would the the better word)
my kernel from version 2.2.20 to 2.4.18.

I am using the debian packages kernel-source-2.4.18 and have compiled and
installed it - using the configuration file from the kernel-image-2.4.18
package - I only enable virtual framebuffer (with lilo using vga=0x318).

Now what happens:
I am fetching emails, running mut and slrn (via screen) and on windowmaker I
try to google something with mozilla (all at the same time and from time to time
swichting).

This doing on kernel 2.2.20 shows:
Fetching e.g. 300 emails the system is very slow up to the half of it (150)
and then running normaly.
With kernel 2.4.18 suddenly my screen freezes, then the whole system freezes
and the only thing left to do is to hit the power button with a fsck reboot
in single user mode.

I cannot figure out why the system is hanging and I do not know where to
look. So here are mainly some information about the hardware:

debian version = 3.0

df -h:
FilesystemSize  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda6 9.1G  2.8G  5.9G  32% /

/etc/fstab:
/dev/hda5   noneswapsw,pri=10   0
/dev/hda6   /   ext2errors=remount-ro   0   1

free -m:
 total   used   free sharedbuffers cached
Mem:   251236 14 34 72117
-/+ buffers/cache: 46204
Swap:  400  0400

I am not quite sure but I have the feeling that the swap device is not or
cannot be used.
If you need more information please let me know.

Thanx in advance

Oliver

You can have both modules at the same time.

If you roll your own kernel, just build them both of them.

Make sure discover1 is installed and that will automatically find the
new card and load whatever kernel module it needs.

Re: CDRW not working on debian

[[KS]]

Hello,

Now that Firefox is running for me, there are a couple
of questions that have cropped up with this version.

1. Firefox indicates that there are updates pending. -
After checking, it tells updates are pending for
Diggler, TrackBack and DOMi. I have the latest version
of diggler and DOMi from debain.

2. Why is the update service indicator enabled in
Firefox? As updates are to be done via apt, etc with
an official deb package, the update service indicator
could as well be disabled. Why would someone want to
update using "unofficial" stuff when the package is
official deb package?

3. Is it possible to have an update service by debian
or on u.m.o just for debain? Ah,...forget it, apt-get
update should be it. .loop to question 2.

It has little to do with USB. It has all to do with the hotplug kernel
interface, though.

I find no difference playing xine with nv.
As the matter of fact xine behaves better on the TNT-2 with either nv or

Not all dvd players support playing dvds, you want to read the box real

that gives you some control over how the pictures are displayed.
Do you happen to know where I can get them?

System is woody, kernel 2.4.
Have you compiled the existing kernel, plus only modules you actually 
need, or do you still have an original installation? If the latter, the 
correct module should be there. You need to add it to the list in 
/etc/modules, and I think that should do. It's a while since I changed 
NICs after installation.

If it's your own kernel and module set, I think you need to do another 
run with the appropriate module added to the old configuration. Leave 
out the kernel step i.e. just make the modules and install them. Rename 
the old modules directory first, just in case.

If it's a modern NIC it should work out for itself the speed and duplex 
requirements. Basically, if it's on a hub it will go half-duplex, full 
duplex otherwise. Only if it's a fairly old ISA NIC will you need to 
tell it, and there will be a manufacturer's utility to do this. Finding 
it may be another matter.

-

kbyte/s)

and later, when actually opening up the window...

-
VDec: vo config request - 720 x 480 (preferred csp: Planar YV12)
VDec: using Planar YV12 as output csp (no 0)
Movie-Aspect is 1.78:1 - prescaling to correct movie aspect.
VO: [x11] 720x480 => 854x480 Planar YV12

-

The 854x460 is correct, so mplayer is "getting it" from somewhere, but 
keeps overriding with 720x480. 

Oh well. Thanks for the suggestions, folks. Just in case anyone else 
has the problem, I'll post the fix if I ever find it.

modes are predefined in the X driver 

you might need to fiddle/define the modelines if you want 1400x1024 etc
but lower res should be fine using the built in defaults

whacky ...

those seem to be non-critical warnings, we have 3D stuff working w/
nvidia cards and openGL apps ...

the problem with ndiswrapper based setup ( using the windoze drivers on
linux )
- "AP(master) mode" probably will not work 
( windoze like to be clients not AP )
 
- you may or may not be able to get it into "monitor mode" to
sniff the wifi traffic

- you may or may not have problems with "auto", adhoc, etc..

- you may or may not have problems with WEP and wpa

- it probably will not run as fast as it could if you used
a linux driver instead of wrapper

- ie.. get wifi hw that is supported by linux drivers :-)

"it works" is relative to what you want it to be doing and as long as
the ndiswrapper machine is a plain ole everyday wifi client, it should
be fine

/dev/dsp is the oss sound device, which makes me think esd is configured to 
use oss.  Have you tried configuring esd to use alsa instead?

These are alsa modules, but I notice that you've loaded the pcm oss 
emulation module, which means using oss should still work.

Are you using udev or devfs?  If udev, is the daemon running?  /dev/dsp 
should get created by udev when you load the snd_pcm_oss module.  I don't 
have a computer running devfs to check, but I would imagine it's largely 
the same.

Hope that helps,
Justin Guerin

In KDE, the CDROM is device /dev/hde, NOT read-only, mount point

K3B works fine.
