You can also use konstruct to build it from source in
a user account. This is the safest way to do it, and
it's automated. In the case of a popular distro like
Debian, however, binary packages are probably
well-tested and reliable.

OK, fair enough, but even RMS accepts that GNU/Hurd is a useful term:

JA: How will we refer to a Hurd-based operating system? Is it GNU
Hurd, or GNU slash Hurd?

Richard Stallman: It's the GNU operating system, and the Hurd is its
kernel. But because it's so common for people to use version of GNU
that are based on Linux as the kernel, it's useful to contrast the
two, and talk about GNU/Linux and GNU/Hurd, which are two different
versions of the GNU system with different kernels.

See: http://kerneltrap.org/node/4484

I think if you're out-pedanting *Richard Stallman* on free software
terminology then it's time to relax a little. :-)

Re: XOrg+Radeon = No Direct Rendering?

2006-02-09 Thread Renato Serodio

Servus, Privet, Hello,thanks for lending a hand at this.Jacob:below are the relevant parts of my xorg.conf. Concerning fps, I use glxgears for an estimate, just like Ivan. Peculiar is, with the generic 'ati' kernel module I get some 230 fps (it's a very small window), while with the 'radeon' k-module I get 153fps - and even drawing windows seems slower. Oh, I used to have Xscreensaver running a solid (cube,icosaedron, etc) drawing program - I used to get some 40~50 fps, depending on the number of faces.
My mainboard module is this intel_agp. Along with it are 'drm' and 'agpart'. 'radeon' is also around. I'll have a got compiling everything into the kernel to see if it comes out different this time.Again on the fps matter, there are some people saying that one should tax the board with Quake3 or Unreal Tournament demos to get a proper benchmark.

Sounds like your mobo is messed up.  My old mobo (a Shuttle SK41G)
drifted ~0.05 every 3 hours.  My new board (an Abit KV-81), drifts
more than 1/2 a second every 3 hours.

Also, have you checked chrony?  It is an independent implementation
of the ntp protocol.

I had considered that at first but my gut still tells me that's not the
case. It was keeping perfect time with NTP until a big dist-upgrade and
a reboot. The board is 15 months old - an Abit AN7.

I've heard of it but not tried it. I did try the openntp package before
NTP but tossed it for reasons I can't remember. I'm holding out to see
if a fix for bug  #342887 corrects things or not. The original bugreport
sounds exactly like the same symptoms I've been having.

Nonetheless, thanks for the suggestions and trying to help.

Re: Firewalling: best approach?

2006-02-09 Thread Laurent CARON


Bradley Alexander a écrit :

I am trying to configure a firewall, but nailing down the configuration
is eluding me. The box is running Debian stable. I have tried with
iproute2 (I'm including a description below), but not gotten the
intended effect. I have tried the lartc list, to no avail. A friend of
mine suggested setting up a virtual server for one set of interfaces and
running the other set on the native machine. Which is the best approach
to this? Muddling through the iproute2 configuration, or the virtual
server route? If virtual server, which would be the best one? Qemu? Xen?
VMware player or server (Free as in beer, but not is in speech)? 


Basically, I have a rackmount server with six network interfaces (2
onboard and a quad card). eth0 is the internal network, eth1 is a kiosk
network, eth2 is a DMZ/wireless network. On the outbound side, eth3 is a
DSL connection and eth4 is a cablemodem connection.

What I am trying to do is route all internal traffic out the DSL
connection (eth0 to eth3), and the two dmzs, kiosk and wireless out the
cable connection (eth1 and eth2 to eth4). Thus far as I have been unable
to get this to work.

For the sake of the discussion, the internal network is 10.1.1.0/24, the
kiosk is 172.16.1.0/24 and the dmz/wireless is 192.168.1.0/24. The dsl
line is 1.2.3.4 and the cable line is 9.8.7.6.

I added the following to rt_tables:

1   internal
2   kiosk
3   dmz

then created a script

ip rule add from 10.1.1.0/24 table internal
ip route add default via 1.2.3.4 dev eth3 table internal

ip rule add from 172.16.1.0/24 table kiosk
ip route add default via 9.8.7.6 dev eth4 table kiosk

ip rule add from 192.168.1.0/24 table dmz
ip route add default via 9.8.7.6 dev eth4 table dmz

When I run this script, it does not do what I expect, especially after
running the firewall rules atop it. I thought I had it nailed, but it
wasn't working as expected, and I really couldn't test very well.

I'm hoping some kind soul on this list might have a few minutes for an
email exchange to help me get this sorted out. If so, please email me
off-list. I'm sure its probably something that I overlooked, but I'm at
a loss as to what.

http://www.savefile.com/files/9345078

Does anyone if the Debian Sarge installer CD installs on this system
without any hickups?
- I need to get the display card to get detected for X windows
- Then I need it to detect the controller so that it can install the
160 GB Sata drive.
- Lastly I need it to detect the NIC is detected for accessing the network.

Anyone have any ideas / experience with this model on Debian?

Installing Debian from a DOS partition

2006-02-09 Thread M. Maas

Hello List,

I recently got my hands on a Toshiba Libretto 110CT. Which is a very
small laptop, with no cd player, just a pcmcia floppy disk that only
works under DOS, because the Linux kernel does not have the drivers for it.

I've finally been able to upload files to and from the DOS partition
using a parallel cable connection.

I can also boot to DOS using either the hard drive or a boot floppy.

But how can I start installing Debian (total hard drive = 4Gb, the Dos
Partition = 1Gb) starting from DOS?

I've read [http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/index.html.en] but
it does not help me much in getting drivers for PCMCIA network cards, or
even starting up debian.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Mark

The lines are pre-pended with a string that contains a number, and that
number increases by one for every line. I simply assumed it started from
1 and counted up :-)

I haven't been able to find the lines in any log file either... I'm not
sure what conclusions to draw from this, problem in the kernel?

2006-02-09 Thread Clifford W. Hansen

Greetz,

Firstly I'm only top posting to keep with the flow...

secondly, I agree with Mark, I've used shorewall and found it really
easy to use especially when you are lazy++ like me...

After installing shorewall "apt-get install shorewall shorewall-docs"
you will need to set:

Firewall:~# vi /etc/default/shorewall
Now simply change
startup = 0
to
startup = 1
save, and exit.

Shorewall configuration files are stored in two separate places:
/etc/shorewall stores all the program configuration files.
/usr/share/shorewall stores supporting files and action files.

On the Debian package version of shorewall, /etc/shorewall is rather empty.
Luckily, we're provided with default configuration files in
/usr/share/doc/shorewall/default-config

Since we will need to use these config files to actually make Shorewall
work, the first thing to do is to copy them over to /etc/shorewall:

Firewall:~# cp /usr/share/doc/shorewall/default-config/* /etc/shorewall/

Now our /etc/shorewall directory should have default copies of all the config files. Next we modify a few of them to get our firewall in basic working order. I'm only going to cover the basic configurations necessary to get the firewall working. Please read the documentation in each config file you edit so you can fully understand what each step is really doing!

Taken from: http://www.cyberdogtech.com/firewalls/firewall/

Take a look at that website it has a couple of nice tips... also read
the conf files, that should help alot aswell :)

Good luck

Hi Mark,
I have a Toshiba Libretto 100CT with Sarge. Although I did not install
it with Sarge initially. I keep a small DOS partition on in for
compaitbility purposes but with the advent of usb thumb drives, I need
it less. The easiest way to install it would be to remove the drive, get
a 2.5" to 3.5" ide converter (less than $10 US) and mount it in a
desktop pc. Install on that, and then put it back in the laptop. Then
you can start fiddling with X and such. If you want I can send you my
'dpkg --get-selections' as a guide.  I use it with a 802.11b wifi card
with X and Firefox. Its slow but usable for note taking, programming
practice, reading email... The only caveat is to DISABLE hibernation! I
havent got the setup right for HD > 2 GB and it trashes sectors.
Cheers,
Kev

Exactly, and of course not everyone uses bash, and an alias would not
help an application that exec()'d '/bin/ls' directly, expecting to be
able to parse the output.

A change to the locale setting might be an acceptible workaround, but
after installation the locale looks like:

$ locale
LANG=en_GB
LC_CTYPE="en_GB"
LC_NUMERIC="en_GB"
LC_TIME="en_GB"
LC_COLLATE="en_GB"
LC_MONETARY="en_GB"
LC_MESSAGES="en_GB"
LC_PAPER="en_GB"
LC_NAME="en_GB"
LC_ADDRESS="en_GB"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_GB"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_GB"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_GB"
LC_ALL=

Whereas on the SuSE system it looks like:
locale
LANG=en_GB
LC_CTYPE="en_GB"
LC_NUMERIC="en_GB"
LC_TIME="en_GB"
LC_COLLATE=POSIX
LC_MONETARY="en_GB"
LC_MESSAGES="en_GB"
LC_PAPER="en_GB"
LC_NAME="en_GB"
LC_ADDRESS="en_GB"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_GB"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_GB"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_GB"
LC_ALL=

So clearly a LC_TIME=POSIX is not needed on other systems, and any user
with an explicit 'LC_TIME=' in their profile may still see an unexpected
change after the switchover...

I don't know if this is an abiguity in the POSIX spec, but it certainly
seems that Debian is diverging from other systems here, which I would
certainly hope would not be done without a very good reason...

Interestingly, 'env - ls -l' shows that the default behaviour of /bin/ls
is normal, and a bit of trial and errors showed that it is
LANG=en_GB
in the environment that triggers the new behaviour on Debian (but not
on other systems). So it would appear that something strange in the
localization settings is to blame...

Re: XOrg+Radeon = No Direct Rendering?

2006-02-09 Thread Renato Serodio

Hello again,here's an update on the story:- the discrepancy in fps had nothing to do with the driver: it was a consequence of "AccelMethod"- there is/was a bug somewhere that caused the discrepancy between the log and glxinfo, though I couldn't understand whether the DRI was on or not..
- building a fglrx (proprietary) driver with Stanchina's sources runs into a problem with overwrites - there are some reports, but I couldn't understand where the bug was- building a fglrx driver with ATI's packager runs and installs properly, but gives me a hideous oozing green screen, which I saw earlier - it is a symptom of something wrong in the 
xorg.conf - I would point a broken fglrx driver. There are also reports of some problems with 2.6.15, which I happen to be using.I remain without hardware acceleration. There are countless reports and solutions, but they're either outdated or don't work as advertised. Or it might be simply I'm missing something. 
Would anyone lend a hand?Renato

problem compiling kernel-headers-2.6.8-2-smp

2006-02-09 Thread Ivan Paganini

Hello everybody. I am trying to install anbd on a PIII cluster, and for
that I have to compile the module that they provide. But unfortunately,
I am not being capable of compile this module agaist the
kernel-headers-2.6.8-2-686-smp. make menuconfig works nicely, but when I
try to make or make modules, I have this two messages:

make
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `init/main.o', needed by
`init/built-in.o'.  Stop.
make: *** [init] Error 2

or
make modules
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `arch/i386/kernel/msr.c', needed by
`arch/i386/kernel/msr.o'.  Stop.
make: *** [arch/i386/kernel] Error 2
++
I have made make mrproper, make oldconfig, make menuconfig and
configured everything, make clean to be sure that nothing is hanging,
but with no luck. I have copied the nbd.h and nbd.c to the right places
(include and drivers/block). So, what can be happening? Is there other
way to compile this module? When I try to compile standalone, I have
tons of error messages of missing libraries and dependencies.

Thanks in advance.

Have you switched off rp_filter and are you looking @ your logs, if so, what 
are you seeing.

Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of a loadlin.exe kind of
story. Perhaps using that to "bootstrap" (if that is the right word for
it) the debian kernel and installation process.

Thanks for this plan "B" though!

debian-user and mutt...

2006-02-09 Thread Digby Tarvin

On Thu, Feb 09, 2006 at 01:11:29AM -0200, Eduardo wrote:
> Please do not CC me! Get a proper mailer instead: www.mutt.org

Ok, since someone has brought this up

Why is it that on the other lists I subscribe to a 'reply' to
a posting by default goes to the list, but on this list it
goes only to the original poster, and a 'replay-all' goes to
the list with CC to the poster, which is presumably what
the signature abore refers to...

To avoid making that mistake I have been manually editing
the header of each response, but that is a bit tedious, so I
assume there is a better way which I have just never needed
to find before..

I am using mutt - a bit over two years old (1.4.1i - I'm not
reading my mail on the Debian machine) but it has done what I
need up until now...

Do I need to install a newer release to interact with this
list conveniently, or is there a command/configuration option I
just havn't stumbled across?

While on the subject, I am having a lot more trouble finding a way
to identify messages from this list using mutt (so I can separate
them out from the spam...)

Most other lists either have something inserted in the subject line
to idenify the origin, or they appear to come from the least such 
that selecting messages from 'debian-user@lists.debian.org' would
suffice...

Is there a tricky way to do this, or is this something an upgrade
to a newer mutt would supply.?

DigbyT
