Re: slink and xfree86 3.3.5 questions
Try adding the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://www.debian.org/~vincent xfree-update main Then "apt-get update" and "apt-get upgrade" and you will get the XFree86 3.3.5 update for slink.

Hello, make sure the modules for ide-scsi emulation are loaded before mounting the cd. One way to load the modules is manually by using the command modprobe ide-scsi To automate the loading of the modules put the following lines in a file, e.g. idescsi.mod, in the directory /etc/modutils/ : # from the CD-Writing-HOWTO alias scd0 sr_mod# load sr_mod upon access of scd0 pre-install sg modprobe ide-scsi # before sg, load ide-scsi pre-install sr_mod modprobe ide-scsi # before sr_mod, load ide-scsi and run update-modules. This will put these lines in the config file /etc/modules.conf for the kernel module loader. Sadly there is one point I don't know: how to tell kmod to use the new configuration file. Of course a reboot will do the job (but that's like working with a crappy Windows machine :-( - I'm sure there is a better way to do this under Linux - because everything works better with Linux :-) Bye Andreas

apt-get from apt-move mirror doesn't update binary-all packages
Hello everybody, I'm using apt-move to build a local mirror for the packages in my apt-get archive cache. When I upgrade the packages on another machine in my home network with "apt-get update" and "apt-get dist-upgrade" only the packages from the binary-i386 branch are upgraded but the packages from the binary-all branch are left out. While searching for the reason of this behaviour I found out this: 1. There are packages under the tree debian/dists/potato/main/binary-all, but there is no Packages.gz as under .../main/binary-i386. 2. There are some newer packages under binary-all than on the machine I'm trying to upgrade (debconf 0.2.80.16 for example - I've version 0.2.80.17 in the local mirror). 3. I've tried to manually build the missing Packages.gz with "dpkg-scanpackages dists/potato/main/binary-all /dev/null > \ dists/potato/main/binary-all/Packages" and "gzip Packages". But apt-get still doesn't upgrade the binary-all packages. So every help with this problem would be appreciated. As additional information here are some snippets from my configuration files. /etc/apt-move.conf: -- ARCH=i386 LOCALDIR=/usr/local/wartung/mirrors/debian DEBSTABLE= DEBUNSTABLE= DEBFROZEN= DIST=potato PKGTYPE=both SECTIONS="main non-US/main" USSITE=ftp.de.debian.org NONUSSITE=non-us.debian.org FILECACHE=/var/cache/apt/archives LISTSTATE=/var/state/apt/lists DELETE=no MAXDELETE=20 LOGFILE=/var/log/apt-move.log MONITOR=/dev/null /etc/apt/sources-list (on the machine I'm trying to upgrade): deb file:/mnt/nfs_wartung/mirrors/debian potato main deb file:/mnt/nfs_wartung/mirrors/debian potato/non-US main Bye Andreas

On the ftp site there isn't a Packages.gz under .../binary-all either. Instead the packages from binary-all are listed in the Packages.gz from .../binary-i386 (or in general from .../binary-$ARCH). In the Packages.gz built by apt-move under .../binary-i386 the packages from binary-all are missing. So I built the Packages file for binary-all and binary-i386 manually with dpkg-scanpackages and merged them into a compound Packages.gz under .../binary-i386. Now an apt-get on a remote machine (via NFS) is upgrading the binary-all packages, too. Bye Andreas
Re: Q about netscape 4.7 and slink
Hello Alice, to install/run netscape 4.7 from the downloaded tar.gz file you don't need any of the Debian netscape packages. Here are the steps I did to install it on my machine: 1. copy the netscape 4.7 tar.gz file to /tmp 2. unpack the file: cd /tmp; tar xvzf netscape 4.7 tar.gz 3. change to the newly created subdirectory of /tmp 4. run the installation script: ./ns-install (the only question you have to answer is the target directory to which you want to install the files, e.g. /opt/netscape, /usr/local/netscape or anything you like; see also the file 'README.install' in the same directory) 5. to run netscape 4.7 the MOZILLA_HOME environment variable should be set to the target directory from step 4. I've placed the following starting script 'netscape' in /usr/local/bin (but you can also set the variable in the init script of your shell, e.g. ~/.bashrc, place the netscape directory in your path and start it with the command 'netscape'): #!/bin/bash # /usr/local/bin/netscape: wrapper for Netscape Navigator 4.7 MOZILLA_HOME="/opt/netscape" if [ -x ${MOZILLA_HOME}/netscape ]; then ${MOZILLA_HOME}/netscape fi 6. to add netscape to the Debian menu (e.g. under fvwm2 when you click with the left mouse button on the root window/desktop) you can place the following menu-entry file 'netscape-menu' in /etc/menu: # /etc/menu/netscape-menu: menu entry for Netscape Navigator 4.7 ?package(local.netscape):\ needs="x11"\ section="Apps/Net"\ title="netscape"\ longtitle="Netscape Navigator 4.7"\ command="/usr/local/bin/netscape" ^^^ (adjust for your start method) and run 'update-menus'. After restarting the windowmanager there will be a new menu entry 'netscape' under Apps/Net.

Re: printer
According to http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/pht/show_printer.cgi?recnum=62912 the Epson Stylus Color 400 is supported perfectly by the ghostscript driver "stcolor" (which is used by magicfilter) and also by the gs uniprint driver stc500p.upp and stc500ph.upp. In the file /etc/magicfilter/stylus_color_360dpi-filter is a comment that you should change the options for gs version >=3.51 (Debian comes with version 5.10), so maybe you should try this first. If you want to use the uniprint drivers, copy stylus_color_360dpi-filter to 2 new files, e.g. stc500p-filter and stc500ph-filter, and edit the following lines - for stc500p-filter: # PostScript 0 %! filter /usr/bin/gs @stc500p.upp -q -sOutputFile=- - 0 \004%! filter /usr/bin/gs @stc500p.upp -q -sOutputFile=- - # PDF 0 %PDF fpipe/usr/bin/gs @stc500p.upp -q -sOutputFile=- $FILE (the changes in stc500ph-filter are equivalent to the above) After these changes you can setup 2 printer queues for /dev/lp0 with magicfilterconfig using the new filter-files: stc500p-filter for 360x360 dpi and stc500ph-filter for 720x720 dpi. Hope these hints can help you to use your Stylus Color 400 under Linux.

Hi Phil, the command-line tool for configuring the printers with cups is lpadmin, for example: lpadmin -p Deskjet -E -v parallel:/dev/lp0 -m deskjet.ppd -p: name of the printer, e.g. Deskjet -E: enable the printing queue for the printer -v: printer device, e.g. parallel:/dev/lp0 for first parallel port -m: use the default directory /usr/share/cups/model for the PPD description files deskjet.ppd: default ppd for HP deskjet printer It's also possible to configure the printer with a web-interface.

I'm running version 1.1.9 (compiled from source) and according to the comments in cupsd.conf the /etc/printcap should be generated automatically: # # Printcap: the name of the printcap file. Default is /etc/printcap. # Leave blank to disable printcap file generation. # #Printcap /etc/printcap This configuration works fine for me.

They've linked the executables against the new version 2.2 of glibc. I like to run a stable system, that's the reason why I still stay with potato. So for me it was no choice to upgrade such a vital library like the glibc to a version from woody or sid. The only way to come around this problem is to get the source tarball from www.cups.org and compile it by yourself. It's as easy as going through the steps tar xvzf cups-1.1.9-1-source.tar.gz; cd cups-1.1.9; ./configure; make; su; make install.

I had problems with kernel versions 2.4.9 to 2.4.12 (once there were errors while compiling NTFS support, another time there were problems with the parallel port, and finally a lot of VMM errors in version 2.4.10). Therefore I've just made the change from 2.4.8 to a running kernel 2.4.13. But now it seems this story will continue with 2.4.14. I never had these problems when changing to a new kernel version of the 2.2 series. So with all these problems in differnet 2.4 releases and keeping in mind that it's been actively worked on kernel 2.4 (as you wrote before) I wouldn't call it stable. Maybe it would be better to do this work on an unstable tree 2.5. But I think the Debian mailing list is not the right place for such discussions.

I suppose the unofficials debs you mentioned are the debs by Charl P. Botha. The only problem I had while upgrading my potato box to Xfree86 4.1 was a dependency problem on xbase-clients (which depends on libfreetype6). But according to the READ.THIS file on http://people.debian.org/~cpbotha there may be some other dependency problems. Here are the steps to upgrade to XFree86 4.1 on a potato box that worked for me: 1.) install the version of libfreetype6 from http://people.debian.org/~cpbotha/xf4_potato_debs/libfreetype6_potato 2.) add the following lines to sources.list: deb http://people.debian.org/~cpbotha/ xf410_potato/i386/ deb http://people.debian.org/~cpbotha/ xf410_potato/all/ 3.) apt-get update 4.) if you have an already running XFree86 3.3.x apt-get dist-upgrade should do the job. 5.) if you are installing XFree86 for the first time select the needed packages with dselect (configured with access method apt) - it will take care about dependencies or install one of the metapackages x-window-system-core (only the essential packages) x-window-system (a more complete X-Window system) via dselect or by apt-get install x-window-system HTH Andreas Schmidt

There are packages for XFree86 4.0.3 under potato. Just add the following lines to your sources.list: # Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 - XFree86 Version 4.0.3 deb http://people.debian.org/~cpbotha/ xf403_potato/all/ deb http://people.debian.org/~cpbotha/ xf403_potato/i386/ Just run apt-get update / apt-get dist-upgrade to upgrade your installation of version 3.x. You can also use dselect with apt as access method to install it, if you didn't have an existing XFree86 installation. You have to configure XFree86 Version 4.0.3 with xf86config (in text mode) because there is no graphical setup program like in version 3.x. For me there were no problems with the upgrade (I used apt-get to upgrade an existing installation). But I think at the moment not every graphic card that is supported in version 3.x is already supported in version 4.0.3. So better check if your card is supported on http://www.xfree86.org before making the upgrade. Bye Andreas
