Canon PIXMA iP3000 with Sarge / SID

[Michael Ott]

Hello!

I bought a new Canon Printer (PIXMA iP3000). But this printer will not
work as i want. 

On SID i can print testpage with the BJC-7004 but no pages from
Firefox or OpenOffice. With the Canon PIXUS iP3100 from Japan it does
not work. 

On Sarge i can print testpage with the BJC-7004. When I want to print
pages with OpenOffice it started to print only when the half page is
running throw. With the Canon PIXUS iP3100 from Japan it does
not work. 

Does any work with this printer?

Thanks in advance

CU

Only front speakers working when watching tv

[Andras Lorincz]

Hi,

I'm using sarge and I have a pinnacle pctv connected to the auxiliary
port of my Creative Live! 5.1 soundcard from the internal connector of
the tv tuner. My system is 4.1 and all satellites work when watching
movie or listening to music but when I watch tv, only the front
speakers are working no matter if I use tvtime or mplayer, and also I
cannot adjust the volume from tvtime and mplayer, only from alsamixer
or the volume control. Why is this happening?

fetchmailing with procmail for mutt

[BUYO-BUYO-IGOR]

am switching from osx to demudi
on osx was running fetchmail with procmail
to prepare files for mutt
so tried the same setups but when doing

fetchmail -av -m "/usr/bin/procmail -d %T"

it requires a password to do it
which on osx occured
and feeding it anything results into

cannot find DNS address for /usr/bin/procmail

what maybe the case?

and what are you using for simple mta?
chose esmtp
when apt-getting it seemed to have guided me for setups
but

set sendmail="/usr/bin/esmtp"

in .muttrc results into

invalid smtp status code in server response

am doing these not as root

Writing problem on FAT via NFS

[Florian Dorpmueller]

Only limited writing access on FAT via NFS  ( post #1)

I am trying to connect a windows partition from my linux client via NFS. The 
partition has been sucessfully exported by the server which is a 
double-boot-PC. AT the moment I am able to copy files from the FAT to the 
Linux box and furthermore I can delete files on the FAT and create 
directories there without problems.


The only difficulty I have is that when I try to copy files from the Linux 
client onto the FAT. Then I receive "cp: file 
,,/mnt/nfs/flori/test/myfile.jpg" cannot be created: Operation not 
permitted". Nevertheless an empty file has been established and when I try 
copying again the file is transfered correctly.


Until yet I have played with several exporting options in /etc/exports like 
"all_squash", "no_root_squash", "rw" etc.


In my fstab I have
192.168.0.2:/home/flori/pix /mnt/nfs nfs 
rsize=8192,wsize=8192,user,soft,noauto 0 0 and I mount simply with "mount 
/mnt/nfs"


Is there anybody around who has sucessfully mounted a FAT via NFS with full 
write access?


Thanks for helping me.
Flori

LSI SATA Raid - slow

[Hans du Plooy]

Hi all,

I'm building a backup server for a client - straight forward as far as 
software goes - samba share for the daily backups to go into.   Minimal 
install plus sarge.


Hardware is a 2ghz Celeron (P4 type), 256MB ram, and four Seagate 160GB 
SATA discs in a RAID-5 on this controller:


000:00:07.0 RAID bus controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic MegaRAID (rev 
01)
  Subsystem: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic MegaRAID SATA 150-6 RAID 
Controller

  Flags: bus master, 66Mhz, slow devsel, latency 32, IRQ 11
  Memory at ef00 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=64K]
  Capabilities: [80] Power Management version 2

The card uses the LSI raid chip for raid, and three Silicon Image 3112a 
chips for SATA itself.  I have a Sil_3112a card and I know it works as 
it should.


I copied the data that was on the original RAID set (3 discs) off to a 
200gb Seagate PATA disc, and mc reported on the large files 27mb/s 
sustained write.


Now, copying stuff back to the RAID set, mc reports a mere 6-7mb/s.

The only thing that struck me as weird is that the controller didn't 
take much time to create the raid - less than a minute.  Last time I 
made a raid (2 10krpm SCSI 74gb discs on an Adaptec card) that took a 
couple of hours.   It seems like this controller does it in the 
background, because I can constantly hear the discs going krr krr krr.  
But it's been doing that since friday, and I would have thought it 
should be done by now.


Any ideas why I'm getting this?  7mb/s write is not going to be enough 
to copy all the data before the next backup starts.


Thanks
Hans

Re: adding modules to kernel

Right. Having read that and also the man page, I got the following

I only want to compile a module which I forgot in xconfig? Can I avoid 
the complete compile??


Quote man:
 --append_to_version foo

Please  note that you must run a make-kpkg clean after configuring the 
kernel using make (x|menu)?config, since that creates the file 
include/linux/version.h without the append_to_version data (foo). This 
file won't be updated by the make-kpkg run (make-kpkg creates version.h 
if it doesn't exist, but doesn't touch if exists), so the final kernel 
will _not_ have the append_to_version data in its version number it 
shall look for the modules  and  symbols in all the wrong places. The 
simplest solution is either to remove include/linux/version.h after 
configuring and before compiling, or running make-kpkg clean after 
configuring, before compiling.

Try wgetting the file again and see what kind of Content-Type the
server sends. It probably doesn't know the filetype so sends something
standard like text/html which causes the browser to think it can open
the file.

non-us does not exist anymore.  Its packages (except for 13 or so)

Re: Can't install Sarge on an HP NetServer

[marco_elen]

Hello everybody,
I finally could install Sarge on an HP NetServer LH4. (I could post a report 
when I'll have all the probelms solved).

First I installed Woody, then I upgraded to Sarge.
I also updated the kernel from 2.2.20 to kernel-image-2.4.27-2-686-smp.
After some problems I could get a working Sarge.

But I also found that the cdrom isn't working anymore:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/hda /cdrom
gives: /dev/hda not a valid block device.
I can get it to work using old kernel on the rescue diskette, but don't know 
how to solve this.

Does anybody have any hint?

Best regards,
Marco Ballini

Nforce2 boards runs well (I've an a7n8x deluxe).   

The only hitch is that the SPDIF output cannot output properly dolby
digital. But this won't bother you if you're not setting up a
home-theater PC.

Hi Philip,

What kernel are you trying to install? 2.4.x 2.6.x ?

Try disable usb ports from bios but, you can do it by adding a line to
/etc/modprobe.d/aliases, like;

alias ehci_hdc off

alias uhci_hdc off

Unplug all usb devices from computer, there won't be a problem during 
installation

because at the error message you sent:

Loading ehci_hcd module.
<6>usbcore: registered new driver usbfs
usbcore: registered new driver hub

Which means discover finds something and tries to mount it as usbfs.

Hope this helps.

Ciao

Hmm, something very borked.  Look at this:

Mine is a standard Sarge install.

Best strategy for multiple terminals connected to one server

<> The end points are connected to the central server by ...

Suggestions, pointers to howtos, implementations, etc, will be

lame server

Hi,

I'm seeing loads of these types of message from Bind

by loads I mean 10 to 20 a minute for about an hour. They come in groups with 
an IP address being repeated 4 or 5 times then another one is tried. I am at 
a loss to figure out what is doing so many reverse look ups. Can someone help 
me find out what it is?

Perhaps it's nothing but I'm interested to know. I'm running testing and the 
Bind server is only a local caching DNS with all external ports firewalled 
off. There are only two machines on the network so there shouldn't be that 
much traffic.

Thanks.

Great job summarizing the discussion and vote, David.  I like your solutions 
and, in the same spirit of offering ideas that I can't implement on my own, 
here's mine:


As a supplement to (not replacement for) this email list, I'd really love to 
see a weblog where anyone who registers (just like we subscribe to this list) 
can post questions and comments.  Ideally when signing up for a list you 
could choose to be a weblog user or a mailing-list user or both.  Posts and 
comments on the blog would be sent to the list and vice versa.  

 


One problem I have with web forums is that
1. I cannot start reading it where I left off one week back
2. I need to run a GUI to read the forum
3. To additional advantage as compared to mailing lists => no incentive 
to switch.


But with the mailing lists, I can just continue reading the unread 
messages even after one week or so. There probably is such a facility by 
giving out RSS feed etc., but then I would be using a email client to 
read the unread messages. In such a case, I would be better of reading 
debian-user as a mailing list.


Moreover mailing lists does not require a GUI.

Wouldn't it be nice to actually use modern computer technology to aid people 
who are eager to use and promote Debian software?  (Apologies in advance for 
what might appear as a snide remark.  It's not intended that way.)
 

No IMHO. Latest does not mean that people should go and embrace it. Even 
if majority of people want to embrace the latest technology we need not 
adopt it. We should switch technologies only if there is an added 
advantage for US. For example you wont dist-upgrade your sid box on a 
daily basis to latest software do you?


IIRC there have been some forums setup to help debian users. But they 
were never a success.

Look at the output of dmesg.  You should find what device the CD
rom the kernel assigned.  On my system, these two lines are
informative.

hdc: CW099D ATAPI CD-R/RW, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
hdd: TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-R5002, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive

Do a 
dmesg|grep CD  
and see if you don't find something similar.

   Hi, Dominique,
   Thanks! I read some articles over google, and it seems that people 
have used quite experimental drivers with it. The problem is I couldn´t 
figure out how old the articles are. Maybe with current kernels, the 
board is ok.

   Did you have to tweak debian in order to get the board to work?
Do you have any idea whether the spdif thing is a driver problem?

The (relevant) output of

Hate to tell it you but that isn't the case.  What often happens is that
in mob rule people think, "Weee, we can order other people around to do more
for us so we can slack."  Notice the plethora of vote buying schemes over on
this side of the pond where just that happens.  We can see it in action.
Politicians promise more money for the largest voting block which they
confiscate from the smallest voting block.  Not only that they villify the
smaller voting blocks.  Certainly hasn't increased the general education level
of the larger block.  In fact it is quite the contrary.  The mob is perfectly
content to continue to take, to give less, until that power to take is
removed.  That is why mob rule should be avoided completely.

I have an A7N8X-X running Debian sarge.  Quite reliably,
except for almost everything relating to the USB ports.
I've been wondering if this is a hardware or software problem.
Does anyone else have experience with this board?  What kernel
do you use?  Did discover discover everything or did you have to
override?  Of so, how?

I've *never* managed to get the USB ports to work reliably.
USB thumb drives don't work at all.  MP3 players don't work at all
(I'm talking about those that pretend to be standard USP hard disks).
All these work fine on another machine, in either sarge or Windows.
The other machine does NOT have an NVidia chipset (but does have
an NVidia graphics card).

A 200GB IDE drive in a USB enclosure?  Got one of these.  It works
for a few minutes, then conks out.  I get to partition it and create
a Reiser file system on it, but when I start transferring bulk data
to it, it stope working.  Same drive works fine with NTFS on Windows.
But it might be the USB enclosure at fault, not the PC, because it
fails when plugged in to the other sarge machine I mentioned above.
MAybe it's not within spec, but Windows doesn't happen to pay attention
to that piece of spec either.  The IDE drive within it is fine.
After I removed it from the USB enclosure, and connected it
directly as an IDE drive, I could do all the things I couldn't through
the UBS enclosure.

By the way, I also have an Alphasmart, which interfaces to the computer
as a USB keyboard.  It works *perfectly*.  It recognised the my Debian
PC as an Apple Macintosh.  I guess recent Macs *are* more like Linux
systems than Windows.

The store wants me to try this out on my own machine in Windows.  They say
that way they'll know if it's really a hardware problem.  But Windows ME
won't install (I have a partition free for it).  It says the "drive"
(i.e., partition) is not formatted corectly for it to install.  But
letting it format the partition reveals no problems, except that after
it successfully formats it, it still complains that it is not formatted
correctly.  I suspect, though that this really *is* a partitioning
problem, not a motherboard problem.

Your proxy forbids the HTTP CONNECT method, it seems. Without that,
rsync cannot function. If rsync is vital to you, you will have to
speak with your proxy administrator and have them reconfigure it to
allow CONNECT to rsync ports. Otherwise, just use HTTP or FTP.

Yes -- but I would be careful when granting permissions with sudo. If
the user will run any program that is able to edit (or even overwrite)
files, then he'll be able to change /etc/passwd, or /etc/sudoers. If
he will install packages, he will be able to configure packages too,
possibly giving him more privileges than I'd want him to have... If
he is able to use a front-end to some application that is able to
edit files, then he's already root.
I think this has been said here before, but since the original poster
asked, and since I didn't see anyone mentioning this in the thread,
I thought it would be good to mention it.
Anyway -- it's a good idea to have sysadmins use sudo when you want
to know who exactly did what, as someone else posted.

Re: support for nvidia nforce2?

[Bruno Buys]

   Hi, Hendrik,
   USB not functioning can be a problem, for me. I have one of these 
mp3 player (usb storage). So far, it is working more or less ok, in 
debian sarge with VIA KT600 Abit board. More or less because it is said 
to be USB 2.0, but I get only ~800Kbps top, from it, which isn´t good 
even for a 1.1.
   Do you have any idea if the usb problems are nforce2 related or 
A7N8X-X related? I mean, there can other boards with usb ok, using this 
chipset?
   Thanks for the info. Its nice to know details from the hw before you 
put your money into it. Other searches I did say this chipset is ok, but 
don´t give much detail.

A question about logrotate

[Thomas H. George]

I ran out of space in a 9 Gbyte /var directory, most of the space 
consumed by debug, kern.log and syslog files.  With a little searching I 
found the logrotate command and realized these files were being 
rotated.   In /var/log I found a large (approximately 1 Gbyte) syslog 
file plus an equally large syslog.0 file and seven syslog.n.gz files 
where n=1..7.  The same was true of the debug and kern.log files. 
Examining the /etc/logrotate.conf file I found nothing that corresponded 
to this rotation scheme so there must be a default somewhere.  To free 
space I added the following lines to the logrotate.conf file:


/var/log/debug {
   missingok
   daily
   rotate 1
}

/var/log/kern.log {
   missingok
   daily
   rotate 1
}

/var/log/syslog {
   missingok
   daily
   rotate 1
}

and then ran logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.conf.

This freed up 3 Gbytes of space but it perhaps is a very crude 
solution.  As I noted above, the files were being rotated but not 
according to the logrotate.conf file so there must be a default 
somewhere.  Where?  Should I try to find and edit it?  Does anyone have 
a well thought out logrotate.conf file or more detailed information than 
that given in the man pages?


I would appreciate any comments or suggestions.

It depends on what you want.

If you want X, you have three basic choices:

 - multiple video cards, USB keyboards and USB mice
   - provides excellent performance
   - can be used even for action games
   - limited number of heads per server (perhaps as many as 10)
 - connect X terminals via ethernet
   - minimal configuration
   - used X terms are cheap, new ones are expensive
   - performance is good for most tasks, not sufficient for 3D
 or some action games
   - number of X terms limited mostly by server performance
 - turn old PCs into X terms (see the Linux Terminal Server
   Project for details)

If you don't want X, you can install multiport serial cards and
virtually any PC can act as a terminal, or you can acquire used
or new serial terminals. This is the cheapest route, and number
of terminals is pretty much limited by server performance.

It didn't indicate being zombie; however, both processes finally "let
go" and disappeared. I don't know if they died, or finally responded to
my Ctrl-C attempts, or finally responded to my kill -9 attempts, or what.

Still, I would've thought a kill -9 would unequivocally, no questions
asked, kill a process dead. But it apparently doesn't.

Thanks, anyway!

Hi!

If kill -9 doesn't help, then the process is most likely sleeping in a
kernel I/O routine (process state 'D' in the output of ps) - and if every
other process that tries to access the cd drive hangs as well, I guess
there's something wrong with the drive or the disk in it (first example
that comes to my mind: the CD is damaged, and the drive tries to read
the same sector over and over again, never returning either data or
an error). You should check dmesg or the syslog for corresponding error
messages.

But to answer your original question: There's no way to force a process
to come out of the 'uninterruptible sleep' state - it can recover by itself
(when the kernel function returns), or you can reboot the machine.


Regards,

Jan

Yes.  This is exactly the same as if you did not use the option

Good catch.  In that case I would follow the suggestion and remove the
file include/linux/version.h after and before compiling just as it
said.  It will then be rebuilt with the version including the part
appended from --append-to-version and everything should be consistent.

DVD burning with 2.6.13

[Dirk]

Hello everyone,
Since kernel 2.6.9 writing CD's and DVD's suck. The best I can achieve
with 2.6.13 is single-speed dvd-recording. I would switch back to 2.6.8
but reiser4 is only available since 2.6.9...(i don't care about the
"blablabla experimental blablabla" stuff - and i'm certain that it is
not the problem)...

I would like to know If anyone can write CD's/DVD's with kernels newer
than 2.6.8 without problems?!

Thanks,
Dirk

The problems you are having just seem so strange.  I used to have four
netservers running Debian.  But have recently upgraded them to faster
and newer hardware and so can't confirm your troubles.  But they had
been running fine with woody.

Good.  But I would push on to a 2.6 kernel.  That would open up even
more support in terms of discover, hotplug and udev.

In fact could your installation troubles may be because you were
selecting a 2.4 kernel at isntall time?  If so then I really strongly
recommend installing with a 2.6 kernel at Debian Sarge installation
time.

It was not clear if you were using lilo or grub but personally I
prefer grub so that I can stack up a lot of kernels during testing and
in cases like this.

I would upgrade to a 2.6 kernel.  Then install discover, hotplug and
udev.  That combination has great success detecting hardware and
automatically configuring it for the system.  Then I would clean
/etc/modules of unneeded modules and let the autodetection do as much
of it as possible.

If you install Debian Sarge with the 2.6 kernel then you get the above
configuration automatically.

With:
# modprobe ide-cd
I get:
Uniform Multiplatform E-IDE driver Revision: 7.00beta4-2.4
ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx

With:

I get no output.

After that mount /cdrom still does not work.

I could stay with old kernel and also upgrade to newer 2.6.xx, but don't know 
if I'll experience other problems (the ones I'm having are enough for me now 
;)).

Further I need to install LVM support for my two disk drives (I have all in one 
disk now) but I don't actually know how to check if a kernel has LVM support 
(and I hoped that newer ones have it). Does anybody know this?

Anyhow I really would like to _understand_ why cdrom isn't working for me now 
and how I can solve this (...yes I'd like to learn more about Linux and 
Debian:)).

I'm using Lilo and I'm not expert with Grub, but I would like to learn using it.

Ok, I'll try this way.

The problem is that when I tried to install using 2.6 kernel I got Kernel Panic 
messages, which discouraged me quite a lot. I finally could install Debian but 
only using 2.2.20 kernel shipped with Woody (vanilla).

Kill -9 is of no  help if a process is stuck on time-out type event.
Generally ps shows a D in the status column for such a process.

Thanks for proving my point by focusing on one point and getting stuck on it 
instead of looking at the overall picture.

Now look at how much government grew, including how big the debt grow under 
Reagan, Bush, and Bush, compared to Clinton.  The closest thing we've had to 
a real Republican President since Eisenhower is Clinton.

I installed a 2.6 kernel with:
# aptitude kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686-smp
and configure lilo to boot it.
I also installed discover, hotplug and udev.
(Actually it couldn't install libusb, but I don't care because I won't use usb).

But when I rebooted with the new kernel I got:
<0>Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!

Which is the same problem I got when I tried to install 2.6 at Sarge 
installation time.

So, the only kernel that is working for me now is 2.2.20.

This article is great, but beware. The bootsplash userland packages

the stuff (to force removal) and reinstall the things.

Do keep this URL at hand, for troubleshooting:

I feel your pain.  I've struggled with this sort of problem in the
past and have never found a comprehensive solution-- I just fiddle
with stuff and upgrade until the problem sorts itself out again.

As of now I'm burning with kernel 2.6.10, all media including DL DVDs,
with no problems or speed restrictions.

OK, but to try it out I have to find another module that I'm missing, 
since I compiled in the i2c modules that I need (and so have a boot dir 
full of kernels)


Various candidates present themselves for addition, but I can't find 
them in make menuconfig or xconfig.


The following errors appear in my boot log and point to missing modules:

Mon Aug 29 16:52:12 2005: FATAL: Module alias not found.

I can't find mousedev in make menuconfig. I don't know why linux is 
looking for those modules either.


As for alias, it comes from this line in my /etc/modules
# I2C module options
alias char-major-89 i2c-dev

What is that config line meant to do? My i2c stuff is working nicely 
with GKrellM now (using lm_sensors)


And there is also:

Mon Aug 29 16:52:13 2005: Detecting hardware: i810_tco e100 piix

Does this mean that i810_tco and usb_uhci do not have hardware 
available? I can't find i810_tco in make menuconfig and make menuconfig 
seems to be telling me that usb_uhci is set to M already (USB_UHCI_HCD)

Manuel - you still have something wrong with your user.  Look at
the line immediately above.  It says:

   "Access denied for user 'postfix'@'localhost'.

So when postfix/courier is doing a mysql database lookup, it is
presently doing so as user 'postfix'.  Yet you state that you've set
up everything to be user 'provider_admin'.

So check your entries in the mysql DB again in the user and db
tables.

Also, in /etc/postfix, you should have something similar to:

mysql-virtual_domains.cf
mysql-virtual_email2email.cf
mysql-virtual_forwardings.cf
mysql-virtual_lists_transport.cf
mysql-virtual_mailboxes.cf

Double check that each of these is correct.  For example, my
mysql-virtual_domains.cf file has:

user = vmail
password = xxx
dbname = provider
table = domains
select_field = transport
where_field = domain
hosts = 127.0.0.1

... and in my mysql db, in the user table, I have a user named
'vmail' that is only allowed to log in from localhost and has no
default priviledges.  In the mysql database, db table I have an
entry for User 'vmail', Host 'localhost' and Db 'provider'.  And
associated with this entry is where this user gets all the necessary
permissions for accessing the database 'provider'.

vmail is my equivalent of your 'provider_admin'.

You should be able to open up an xterm on the server and type the
following:

$ mysql -u provider_admin -p provider

... and be prompted for the password for provider_admin.  If you
cannot do this and gain command line entry to the provider database,
then you still do not have the mysql db entries right for your user.

If you can do this, then I suspect you have an error in your
mysql-virtual_x.cf files.

Kevin

Without a lspci, hdparm /dev/ and a bit more information, it gets

Ha. If its running from the startup runlevel then you could always add

/etc/rcS.d/? Also, you don't need to type out 'single', just S will work
fine.

For all I know I may just have a bad chip on the motherboard or something,
and thise boards may normally be just fine.  I'd really like to hear
from some other users of this board.

procmail & spamassassin

[Enrique Morfin]

Hi!

I'm using testing, exim4_4.52-2, procmail and
spamassassin.

In my procmailrc:

:0fw
* < 256000  # if bigger than this size
| spamassassin   # can also use  | spamc instead if
you have spamd running

:0e
EXITCODE==$?

:0
* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
/var/log/spamass/spam  # if sa thinks it's a spam,
move it to spam box


it works good, but ...
i have some big aliases (120 mailboxes, or so).
If somewone send a mail to an alias, the message is
checked 120 times at the same time, so it slow down
the server.

How can i tell spamassassin or procmail to check the
message only once? (then deliver to each mailbox)

or where can i find some info about this?

Thanks in advance.

On my system, the logfile rotation is configured in 
/etc/cron.daily/sysklogd

and /etc/cron.weekly/sysklogd

Have you looked in /etc/logrotate.d/?  I have specific entries for these

changed to daily on my setup.

Hava a look at the SA-Exim package, which will scan it before it gets to
Procmail.

Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Keypad decimal sign should obey LC_NUMERIC

[Jouke Witteveen]

By default the mapping of the [. / Del] key of the keypad looks as follows:
[KP_Delete, KP_Decimal]
Which means - correct me if I'm wrong - that with Num-Lock enabled a
keypress would generate the decimal-sign provided by the locales.
The locale I chose on my system is [EMAIL PROTECTED], which states in
/usr/share/i18n/locales/nl_NL:
LC_NUMERIC
decimal_point ""
(... some more ...)
END LC_NUMERIC
U002C is Unicode for "," so in my oppinion KP_Decimal should deliver
",". Why than does it show "."? It does so in the bare terminals,
Gnome-Multi-Terminal, gEdit, OpenOffice, in Mozilla, everywhere!

Please provide the reason of, and solution for this behaviour.

What kernel are you using? I also have a asus k8n board with nvidia/sata. I 
have never had a problem with it. At the moment I am running sarge (stable) 
with the 2.6.8-2-k7 kernel, but I also have the amd64 sarge installed with a 
2.6.8-?-k8 kernel and both work fine. When I booted the install cd I used the 
"linux26" boot option.

Are you using version 1.0.4-2sarge2?  If so, it has issues.  This is
just one: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=324311

Yours may or may not be related.  You may want to try 1.0.4-2sarge1 (just
be aware of the security issues) or use the available 1.0.6 backports.

rebuilding packages

[John Smith]

Hi All,

caused by various reasons (disagree with compiled in defaults, learning
stuff) I compiled a few packages from source from the project (apt-get source 
...).
I found out that in some cases (notably snmpd and glibc) the rebuilding of the
source actually produces more .deb's than I expected: recompiling libc6 
got me :

-rw-r--r--  1 root src   2217916 2005-08-28 15:18 glibc-doc_2.3.2.ds1-22_all.deb

Help connecting to Win98 Shares from Samba (Called name not present)

[Nicholas J Pattison]

I need help connecting to a share on a WINDOWS 98 machine using 
smbmount.  I've tried a number of things and still get a "Called name 
not present" error.  I'm using a Sarge installation, but also tried 
connecting to this machine from a Fedora machine, both machines get the 
same error.  However, on a windows XP machine, I can connect no problem.


Here is an output from smbclient:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$  smbclient //win98machine.nmu.edu/share -I 
192.168.0.6 -U username%passwd

session request to WIN98MACHINE.NMU.EDU failed (Called name not present)
session request to WIN98MACHINE failed (Called name not present)
session request to *SMBSERVER failed (Called name not present)
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$

I've tried a multitude of combinations of commands, ranging from 
smbclient -L server, smbclient -L //ipaddr, smbclient -L 
//server.nmu.edu, smbmount //ip/share, smbmount //server/share, smbmount 
//server.nmu.edu/share, etc


Everything I try results in the same "Called name not present" error.  I 
can connect to other linux samba servers and win2k servers without a 
hitch from this machine.


Any help would be appreciated, as the professor is stubborn about 
keeping this antiquated windows box (even though we are in the CS 
department and frequently use Linux as an OS of choice for departmental 
machines!)  I REALLY DON'T WANT to have to blow away a partition and 
install windowsxp on my laptop.


Thanks

(OT) ClamAV & Evolution

[Rick Friedman]

I'm hoping someone on this list can help me get ClamAv (or KlamAV)
working with Evolution.

As instructed by KlamAV, I've attempted to create filters for Evolution
so all my incoming mail is piped through the application, klammail. This
part seems to work. However, according to the instructions, another
filter should be created after the previous one, which takes action
based on whether the phrase, "virus-found" is in the mail headers.

I have been unable to get this to work. Has anyone been able to do this?
If so, would you post your filters? 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Rick

spamassassin rules question

[Wayne Sitton]

I have been running spamassassin on my own server for quite a wile and
been very happy with it.  Recently I contracted with an ISP, and one of
the things I have been passed with was to take over their spamassassin
server.

Like mine, they were a debian install with the generic ruleset that
comes when installed with Debian, but their original sys admin updated
their rulesets on several occassions.  My question is, looking at my own
rulesets I noticed the all the ruleset filenames start with numbers such
as

10_misc.cf  20_dnsbl_tests.cf  20_html_tests.cf
20_ratware.cf25_hashcash.cf  30_text_fr.cf  60_whitelist.cf
user_prefs.template
20_anti_ratware.cf  20_drugs.cf20_meta_tests.cf
20_uri_tests.cf  25_spf.cf   30_text_nl.cf  65_debian.cf
20_body_tests.cf20_fake_helo_tests.cf  20_phrases.cf 23_bayes.cf
25_uribl.cf 30_text_pl.cf  languages
20_compensate.cf20_head_tests.cf   20_porn.cf
25_body_tests_es.cf  30_text_de.cf   50_scores.cf


But upon looking at the rulesets on their server and on
rulesemporium.com I noticed that most of the filenames start with 70 &
60...etc

SO, my question is, what do the numbers signify?  are they a level, or a
release number or ?

Wayne
