Installing packages from source
Hi, I would like to install libgnomeprint-2.2-2.10. On my sarge I got 2.8 and with Abiword, fill justified text using true type font are ill printed. I've read that upgrading libgnomeprint would solve this. The next version of libgnomeprint-2.2 I've found is 2.12 and trying to install as a debian package would upgrade a lot of other libraries. I would like to upgrade to 2.10 only but have not found any debian package of that version. So I have downloaded the source. Now, I have problems with ./configure since a lot of .pc files are missing (I suppose because I have installed those libraries as binaries deb packages. My questions: - would it be easier to make a debian package with ibgnomeprint-2.2-2.10 and to install it next ? is there any explanations on the web on how to do this ? - is there a tool to build these .pc files without having to download all the sources ? Thanks for any help ! François Rappaz

I'd be mightily grateful if anyone can give me any ideas as to where the problem may lie, or other things to try. If you're compiling the kernel The Debian Way(tm), then you're missing one critical option: --initrd This option will create an initrd file which contains a whole lot of kernel modules which may or may not be used on your system. This file is loaded when booting the system. If the filesystem is specified as a kernel module and you don't create a initrd file, then the kernel modules are _not_ loaded on startup so the system does not know how to read your filesystem. In short, you have two options: create an initrd file with your kernel or compile the options you want directly into the kernel (namely your filesystem and IDE controller). Colin, You're right of course, and I think I'm there now. Even though I'd compiled reiserfs and ext2fs into the kernel, all the IDE drivers were still modularised, so linking these into the kernel got the machine booted ok. My question now is: which is the better kernel build method, initrd where everything can be just modularised and there's not much else to worry about, or compiling the necessary core drivers into the kernel and loading other modules on-the-fly as needed (which is what I've always done with 2.4 kernels)? The first of these seems clearly the easier path to take, but isn't the second methos using kmod a better/more optimum method? As said, I've never used initrd in the past and I've learned a great deal since starting this thread and reading your and anoop's replies.

The SuperMicro has a bit more options,but i'm unsure if i'm even gonna used them... IPMI is 1/3 (50 eu) cheaper that Suns (150 eu)... So i guess it's more who's marketting machine to follow? Here's a benchmark for the SUN. I did not find any for the SuperMicro: Benchmark This itself may be a reason to choose for the SUN ofcourse. Other reasons for choosing are faster=beter!

User And Group create failures - sarge
Hi, I have done a fair bit of googling, and spent a while on freenode on this problem, fyi, I did rtfm ;) I would very much appreciate some word on this, as I am stuck. Basically, Ive seen this happen once before with clamav package, and now with the bind package. I know this is not a package related problem, hence my post here. In this case, I must create a group, bind: # addgroup --system bind Adding group `bind' (111)... Done. Obviously this worked: # getent group bind bind:x:111: but now I have to create a user, in that group: # adduser --system --home /var/cache/bind --no-create-home --disabled-password --ingroup bind bind adduser: The group `bind' does not exist. How is this possible ? Sometimes lucky and that sequence works, but I need it to work everytime, on all my debian machines.

I do not want the resources cleared. I just thought that they should be in place _before_ any clients were opened. Here, minus a few steps, I am sure, is what I thought should happen: 1. startx reads the ~/.xinitrc file to see what to start 2. As it moves through the script, it loads X. 3. after X is loaded, xrdb is run with .Xdefaults as its argument. 4. the window manager, fvwm in this case, is started from the .xinitrc script. 5. "control" goes to the .fvwm2rc file which starts fvwm and whatever clients have been specified. In the above case, the resources should be loaded and available for x clients _before_ any clients, including the wm, are loaded. As nothing seems to be getting the settings until I close and restart those clients, in this case rxvt and emacs, I can only assume that the resources are not available until _after_ the programs are loaded.

Looking for someone who really knows the USB subsystem
I have an IR remote control with a USB reciever which identifies itslef as a keyboard mouse combo. The problem is that half the buttons signals are not being picked up by the driver that is used by default. I don't know enough to even lookup how to fix this. I'm hoping to start by mounting the device in such a way that I cat a /dev/ address and see a signal for every button. From there I will work on something to handle those signals I would just like to know how to get started. -- Thank you for your time, --==<< R i c h a r d B r o n o s k y >>==--
trying to use Knoppis to recover unbootable debian linux drive

If you do include the switch "--initrd", then you can make modules out of everything and the system will load everything appropriate for your hardware during boot, which seems to me a rather nice way of finding out what hardware you actually have in your machine. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Do you make an initrd with your kernel? If you are using resierfile, then you probably need one. Use mkinitrd so make it as yaird (newer stuff) will often not work right. Otherwize, try to compile in everything you need for your root file system.

Stupid shell script question about "read"
Hi list, Could someone tell me why the following works in zsh but not in bash/posh/dash? benjo[3]:~% echo foo bar baz | read a b c benjo[4]:~% echo $a $b $c foo bar baz If I try the same with bash (or other sh-compatible shells), the variables $a $b and $c are unset. From the bash man page: > read [-ers] [-u fd] [-t timeout] [-a aname] [-p prompt] [-n nchars] [-d >delim] [name ...] > One line is read from the standard input, or from the file > descriptor fd supplied as an argument to the -u option, and the > first word is assigned to the first name, the second word to the > second name, and so on, with leftover words and their interven‐ > ing separators assigned to the last name. So "read" claims to read from the standard input, but it doesn't actually seem to happen when a pipe is involved.

Exim rejecting _everything_ with spamassassin
I'm trying to set up spamassassin under exim. When I send an email to my
server, I see something like this in the rejectlog for the message:
X-Spam_score: 0.6
X-Spam_score_int: 6
X-Spam_bar: /
X-ACL-Warn: accept
But in the mainlog, I see a reject log like this for any incoming emails:

upgrading Cyrus
Hi, has anyone yet updated Cyrus 1.5.19-9.2 to 2.2.12-4? I was in the middle of testing the conversion on a copy of the mail spool, but lacked the ctl_mboxlist script/program. That should have been in the cyrus-common package, but it was nowhere to find in version 2.1. So I had to upgrade to 2.2, but that file is still nowhere to be found. I'm trying to follow the upgrade instructions provided in the Cyrus docs, and the only thing that apparently worked yet is running the dohash script. Where do I go from here?

Yeah, I would guess that zsh is doing something really funky to make this work -- passing variables from a subprocess back up to the parent, or not actually spawning a subprocess with the pipe, or something like that. I'm not sure of the POSIX way to use read in this manner, but I found this on Google/A9: http://linuxgazette.net/issue57/tag/1.html The example he gives, with the < <() syntax, worked in bash, but not in Debian or FreeBSD's /bin/sh.

X-Spam_score_int: 6
The spam score is high enough to have the mail rejected.
Here's my exim4.conf file. I put "#Spamassassin" comments near every block I
added for spamassassin.
#Spamassassin
#acl_smtp_data = acl_check_data
#acl_not_smtp = acl_check_data
#Spamassassin
You must not comment these out.
It looks somewhat like you mixed an Exim3 config with an Exim4 config.
I'd suggest to start with a new Exim4 config from
/usr/share/doc/exim4-base/examples/example.conf.gz. Copy it to
/etc/exim4/exim4.conf and change it to your needs. The configuration is
pretty easy and straightforward then.
Also, install the info doc package for exim4, it's very useful for
looking things up and finding out what has changed.
Once you got a suitable, config, set
> COMMONOPTIONS='-C /etc/exim4/exim4.conf'
in /etc/default/exim4 to make sure exim will use your config.
You need spamd running. Edit /etc/default/spamassassin (don't forget to
enable!) and change to
> OPTIONS="--create-prefs --max-children 5 --helper-home-dir -u spamd"
You need to add the user spamd (or whatever name you like for it) with
adduser before, to have spamd running as that user.
In /etc/exim4/exim4.conf, set the following:
> spamd_address = 127.0.0.1 783
> [...]
acl_check_data:
# Add headers to a message if it is judged to be spam. Before enabling this,
# you must install SpamAssassin. You may also need to set the spamd_address
# option above.
#
warnspam = spamd
message = X-Spam_score: $spam_score\n\
X-Spam_score_int: $spam_score_int\n\
X-Spam_bar: $spam_bar\n\
X-Spam_report: $spam_report
# Accept the message.
accept
That's all what's needed for SPAM checking, but maybe you also want to
scan for viruses ... In any case, once the server is running, monitor
memory consumption closely. I've seen spamd eating up several gigs of
RAM when sending a few large testmails :( You may want to reduce the
number of --max-children from 5 to 3 (in /etc/default/spamassassin) and
put a size limit on the mails to be checked for SPAM (in
/etc/exim4/exim4.conf), like 10kb or 100kb:
acl_check_data:
# Deny if the message contains a virus. Before enabling this check, you
# must install a virus scanner and set the av_scanner option above.
#
discard malware = *
demime= *
log_message =
virus%$tod_log%<$return_path>%<$recipients>%($malware_name)
# Add headers to a message if it is judged to be spam. Before enabling this,
# you must install SpamAssassin. You may also need to set the spamd_address
# option above.
#
warncondition = ${if < {$message_size}{100k} }
spam = spamd
message = X-Spam_score: $spam_score\n\
X-Spam_score_int: $spam_score_int\n\
X-Spam_bar: $spam_bar\n\
X-Spam_report: $spam_report
# Accept the message.
accept
This will help a lot to reduce memory consumption --- imho a neccessity
for a server that should be reliable. To protect the server from being
overwhelmed by mail, you may also want to set the following (in
/etc/exim4/exim4.conf, at the beginning of the file):
split_spool_directory = true
check_spool_space = 1024M
smtp_check_spool_space = true
message_size_limit = 100M
bounce_return_size_limit = 8k
deliver_queue_load_max = 2.00
queue_only_load = 1.50
remote_max_parallel = 8
Adjust these values to the performance of your server and the amount of
mail it has to handle. (These are for a 900 MHz Celeron with 384MB of
RAM, several gigs of swap and a 3ware ATA RAID 1 that does virus
scanning besides checking for SPAM.)
The above mentioned example config is prepared for that; I strongly
recommend you start from there!
The auto configuration of exim4 is imho totally useless and utterly
confusing ...
But I do love Exim :)

I don't have a solution, but I found that interesting, so did some experiments: $ bash --version bash --version GNU bash, version 3.1.0(1)-release (i486-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc. $ echo foo | read a; echo $a returns empty variable a whole lot of options on read like -t 1, -n 3 and so on don't improve that, neither does echo -e 'foo\n\n\n' or similar things. -- $ echo foo > temp;read a < temp; echo $a returns foo, but creates and uses a file in between $ mkfifo myfifo creates a named pipe -- terminal1$ echo foo > myfifo; read a < myfifo; echo $a just keeps working and doesn't return, but if I do terminal2$ cat myfifo in another shell, I see that foo has actually gone there, and one moment later, the whole thing returns an empty $a [...] -- $ echo -e "foo\n\n" > myfifo; read -n 2 a < myfifo; echo $a returns: bash: myfifo: interrupted during an operating system call (translation) and an empty $a -- $ echo -e foo\n\n > myfifo & read -n 2 a < myfifo; echo $a [1] 7487 bash: myfifo: Unterbrechung während des Betriebssystemaufrufs (same message) -- $ echo foo > myfifo & sleep 1; read a < myfifo; echo $a [3] 7492 foo Surprise, this one works. So far so good: echo does not return from writing into the pipe before the pipe is not read read does not start reading from the pipe before echo has not stopped -- now, trying: $ echo foo > myfifo & [1] Done echo foo >myfifo $ read a < myfifo $ echo $a this one works as well. -- Now, using *two* shells again: terminal1$ echo foo > myfifo remains pending until... terminal2$ cat myfifo foo returns foo while echo... on shell a returns. -- terminal1$ echo foo > myfifo remains pending until... terminal2$ read a < myfifo; echo $a returns empty line on shell b while echo... on shell a returns.

Debian 3.1 on a Dell PowerEdge 2800 Server
Hi everyone, I'm plan on installing Debian 3.1 (2.4.27 kernel) on a Dell PE2800 server soon (just waiting for a few more pieces of equip. to arrive) and while I have used Debian a little bit in the past, I've never installed in on a server before. I was hoping somebody who has done this before can give me some tips/info on the following: 1) does/will Debian have issues if I use the hw RAID controller on the Dell server? 2) the server will have dual Xeon processors and 8GB of RAM, does Debian suppor this? (I've read in some places that Debian doesn't support > 4GB of RAM, etc. but I haven't been able to get a definite answer to that from googling) Thanks in advance.

Re: Determine order of network interfaces
Ketil Froyn wrote: Hi, I have a computer with some network interfaces, and I am unable to determine which physical interface gets assigned to which ethX during boot. Specifically, my problem is that the firewire driver suddenly started using eth1 instead of eth2 yesterday. It hadn't done this before, and I had to change my interfaces file as a result. The issue is that I want a normal interface to be on eth1, and I want to be certain that this never changes again. I have tried to edit /etc/modutils/aliases and added (near the top) alias eth2 eth1394 but this didn't help at all (I remembered to run update-modules, and saw the added lines in /etc/modules.conf). Then I tried creating /etc/modprobe.conf, with the line alias eth2 eth1394 and as a result I could remove all the network modules and successfully run "modprobe eth2", which had never worked before.However, the order was still wrong after rebooting, then eth2 was my normal ethernet interface, while eth1 had been "stolen" by the firewire driver again. So now I wonder how I can force my debian system to let me specify which interfaces get which names during boot. Cheers, Ketil I solved this problem in my laptop by using Debian tools (see "Dealing with inconsistent naming of interfaces by the kernel" in the Debian reference, http://www.debian.org/doc). here's how I did in my laptop: http://www.lorenzobettini.it/linux/LinuxSonyVaioVGN-S5VP_B hope this helps cheers Lorenzo -- +-+ | Lorenzo Bettini ICQ# lbetto, 16080134 | | PhD in Computer Science| | Dip.

In more recent bashes, the following should work as well
#!/bin/bash
read a b c <<<`echo foo bar baz`
echo $a $b $c
The <<< ("here strings") are an extension of the "here document" syntax,
IOW, the string given after <<< is supplied as stdin to the command.
Then, there's another variant, which is about as ugly as it can get...
It should, however, work with most bourne shell compatible shells:
#!/bin/sh
eval `echo foo bar baz | (read a b c; echo "a='$a';b='$b';c='$c'" )`
echo $a $b $c
To get the variable's values from the subshell back to the main shell,
a shell code fragment is written on stdout, captured with backticks,
and then eval'ed in the main shell... (this is the moment when I
usually switch to some other scripting language -- if not before :)

Consqeuntly, it will probably take a good bit of tweaking and configuring to get it how you like. One big advantage is that everything is done through a web interface and the permission system is very fine grained. So, for example, you can have users that can only view certain accounts, others who can view all accounts, and yet others that can view all and only modify some accounts. On the down side, the documentation is not free, and if you want it you must be prepared to pay the author for it. As far as ERP, I have experimented briefly with crm-ctt (not packaged for Debian). The interface is very nice and looks very professional. However, it only works with MySQL. I started working to port it to PostgreSQL (since I refuse to deploy MySQL), but I won't have the time to finish it for a few more months. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C.

Will the > resources persist across reboots or logging out of X? X resources are stored in the X server. When the X server is started, there are none set; when it is reset, they are cleared. The program xrdb is responsible for setting them. It should be run automatically upon X login. (The Debian X session script will do this; the script is documented in Xsession(5) and the relevant file is /etc/X11/Xsession.d/30xfree86-common_xresources). If xrdb is run before another client connects, the -retain option must be used. This seems to be a problem that occurs when people write their own X sessions, for some reason. However, reading that (below) I think -retain may not be the fix. Not sure why I thought it was, but anyway... > Since the last x client is the wm, the settings persist as long as I > am using X.

Do you mean you launch emacs in your X session? It sounds like you just have to make sure xrdb runs (and finishes) before emacs starts.

environment for viewing/creating ANSI art?
Hi --
I would like to set up an environment on my Debian system that is
suitable for viewing and creating ANSI art, specifically the sort that
was popular on bulletin board systems in the 90's.
Based on what I could find on Google, these are usually intended for the
so-called "extended ASCII" 8-bit character set that was used on IBM PC's
and compatible systems running DOS. (code page 437? please correct me if
I am wrong).
The tetradraw package in the editors section appears very promising.
I've installed it, but I've run into problems with things such as
line-drawing and box characters appearing garbled.
I've tried a variety of X terminal programs (e.g., gnome-terminal,
konsole, xterm, rxvt) with a variety of font faces; some of them
presented a variety of character encoding options and I've tried many of
those as well. I've read some messages stating that tetradraw runs best
on the Linux console; I've tried using both framebuffers and the
standard console with even more disappointing results ("bright" colors
not displayed at all, and some characters omitted entirely).
The closest I've been able to come is using the "Andale Mono" font face
from the msttcorefonts package, with either gnome-terminal or konsole.
The tetraview tool will display most of the ANSI art files I can find as
expected, but running tetradraw still displays with accented letters and
empty rectangles where I would expect box-drawing characters and so forth.
I haven't seen any problem with the escape sequences for character color
or cursor positioning, so I am led to believe that this is simply a
matter of finding the right combination of locale, character encoding,
and terminal or console font.
If anyone has recommendations for configuration (or other software to
look into) I would be very grateful.
Thanks
cmr

The "dosemu" package includes the font that you want -- the very same one that came on the IBM-PC, with all the line-drawing glyphs and such. The other problem is colors. I know that the 'rxvt' xterm clone allows each ANSI color to be set to an arbitrary RGB value using X resources. I don't know what the proper settings are, but I would not be surprised if the dosemu documentation was helpful in this respect. Unfortunately, rxvt does not support blinking. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This is clear for example when you read about the compound command ( list ): (list) list is executed in a subshell. Variable assignments and builtin commands that affect the shell's environment do not remain in effect after the command completes. [...] So this would work: $ echo foo bar baz | ( read a b c; echo $a $b $c) foo bar baz $ Else you can use a 'here document' construct to feed some standard input to "read" in the same environment as the shell doing the "read", as for example: $ read a b c< foo bar baz > END $ echo $a $b $c foo bar baz $ Ciao. alfredo
