Have a look at your module configuration file. I believe that alsa or
the alsa source packager renamed the modules from snd-card-foo.o to
snd-foo.o and you'll need to take "-card" out of the module name
accordingly.
Alternatively, you might want to just grab the sample version out of
the examples directory (in the also source's /usr/share/doc directory)
and read the documentation for the last line or two you need to tag
on.

I like to take this a step further; I prefer to install anything that isn't in a Debian package within my home directory. I have ~/ports/usr, ~/ports/bin, ~/ports/var etc. This makes it utterly impossible for a bad port to break my system, and the worst I ever have to do in order to roll back is to wipe out these directories and restore from a backup. This also eases my backup strategy. I don't bother with /usr, /bin or other directories which can be reconstructed entirely by reinstalling the same set of packages. Since /home is backed up completely, the software I'd have to track down and reconfigure is fully backed up. Of course, YMMV -- this won't work so well if you're installing for multiple users on a single system.

Free software... check. Free hardware?
Debian's a wonderful thing. If you're running only the free packages, your right to continue using those packages forever is assured, barring any catastrophic changes in the law. But what about the software included with our hardware? There's software embedded in SCSI and ATA drive to control cache behavior. There's software driving many monitors' on-screen controls, software in the motion sensing algorithms driving some optical mouse, software in your PC's BIOS, software in your video card's BIOS, a full software emulation layer in many modern CPUs, so on and so on. Looking through the manuals for a few devices, I only find specific license claims limiting ownership or conditions providing for revocation of the embedded software in my hard drive and for the BIOS on my video card and my motherboard. No claims are made on the monitor, mouse or CD-ROM, and I no longer have manuals for the other components. By default, do I have irrevocable rights where software is provided, but no license terms are given? If so, does anyone know of a site listing free or unrestricted hardware? I'm finding nothing but the OpenBIOS project, etc with Google. If not, how far back would one have to look to find peripheral hardware without supporting software on the device (i.e. early MFM drives)? Are there any existing Linux-capable CPU and system board implementations that are fully free? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

I would run dselect, then cursor to the head line for the installed package group, hit "+" to select that whole tree, and hit shift-Q to ignore any extra changes it prescribes from that. Then, I would cursor to the head of the uninstalled packages, hit "_" and again shift-Q. Those two steps should revert everything to wanting to be in the system's currently installed state. If there's a section at the very top with updated packages, you'll probably want to "+" that group as well, and if there's a newly available section, you may want to "-" that group and hand-pick anything you really want to add. If you leave dselect and go back in, you should be fine, assuming you're not looking at a legitimate large update from a KDE version bump or similar. For better management in the future, once you get the system the way you want it, I'd install "debfoster." debfoster which does a wonderful job of helping you keep your intended packages straight.

Rebuilding Mozilla with optimizations tuned to my CPU seems to have reduced its mean load time from ~6.3 seconds to ~4.9, and makes a very complex html page (CSS and lots of nested proportional tables) render in an average of ~3.2 seconds instead of ~4.7. The above are on a 2.0GHz Athlon 2400 with 1 gig of PC2700 RAM, running 2.4.20-k7 under sid. The timings were taken manually with a stopwatch, but all samples but one were within .3 seconds of the median. Before timing, I loaded and exited Mozilla twice to help ensure all Mozilla files were cached and to ensure that I knew what a completed load looked like. The directory with the html and images was on disk, and I refreshed twice before taking timings. I don't know how other packages or architectures fare, and there's probably a better way to benchmark this, but Mozilla seems to benefit with these tests on my system. When I was using an Amiga 3000 with a 68040 accelerator earlier this year, recompiling ssh &c knocked about 28 seconds off the time to negotiate a session, by a Mississippi count. I don't have the Amiga anymore to test that more thoroughly, and I have a feeling the mostly x86-centric folks are rolling their eyes about now. :-) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

The default configuration was pretty close to what I
needed; here's what I ended up with. (I'm using the
http:// method).
Of note, entering /var/cache/apt and manually keying "dpkg
-i *.deb" installed everything which had been downloaded. So
it seems to be fetching appropriately. Hopefully this
narrows the range of possible problems.
Also of note, this is a near virgin slink machine. All that
have been installed or configured are the default
recommended packages based on the 2.1 binary discs and
dhcpd.

Automatic debsums generation
Since security is on everybody's minds at the moment, I thought I
should share:
I wanted debsums for all of my packages, not just the ones where the
package includes them. This doesn't offer protection against
server-side hacks, but it's at least another bit of reassurance for a
local system.
If you'd like to do this as well:
1. Fetch all of the debs for packages without debsums existing:
apt-get install --reinstall -m -d `debsums -l`
2. Generate sums for these fetched packages:
debsums --generate=nocheck -s -p /var/cache/apt/archives
3. Create /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/40debsums:
DPkg::Post-Invoke {
"echo -n Making debsums... && debsums --generate=nocheck -s -p /var/cache/apt/archives
&& echo OK!||echo FAILED!";
};
Older versions of dpkg may just need the above added to the end of
apt.conf. In either case, this will make the sums automatically
generate when new packages are installed.
4. Any debs you built yourself will need manual sum generation with a
command similar to step 2 pointing to the directory with the debs.
Congratulations. Now tiger and other tools that use debsums for
automated security checks will have more data to work with.
If anyone can suggest improvements on the above, please comment. I'll
collect any improvements and mail the debsums maintainer to ask if he
can include this in future /usr/share/docs.

Automatic key retrieval is nice, however it also makes for very slow mail reading if it's done inside of mutt. Has anyone set up procmail to prefetch unknown keys automatically?

Limiting daemons' RSS
I have a server with very little memory. It's primarily an application server, but apache and exim are running for very light use. I'd like to ensure that apache and exim never starve other programs for memory by limiting their resident set sizes to a total of 6 and 4 megs apiece. I'm fine with these running slowly. How can I accomplish this? /etc/security/limits.conf doesn't apply for daemons so far as I can tell, as these aren't ever run as logon scripts. bash's inbuilt ulimit command doesn't seem to include an RSS option, so I'm not sure I can run that before each daemon to force the resident set size. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

That in mind, quoting bash(1): > >ulimit [-SHacdflmnpstuv [limit]] > [ ... ] > -m The maximum resident set size > [ ... ] Thanks. The label as listed by "ulimit -a" is more ambiguous; I had misunderstood "maximum memory size" to be akin to "max address space" in limits.conf. Replacing the apache daemon with a shell script running ulimit -m before launching apache proper seems to be doing the trick. I'm spidering the server, and the dynamic pages are serving much more slowly, but the rest of the server apps are completely responsive. signature.asc Description: Digital signature
eSound crackling and pausing
When playing sound through eSound, I get a lot of stuttering and pauses; at times I see the whole system pause, and most Gnome sound events happen up to several seconds late, sometimes with static. Playing sound through OSS (per xmms' output device selection) causes no problem at all - sounds pristine. I've got VIA 82C686A audio, kernel 2.4.0-test5 under Woody w/Helix - its an ABit VT6x4 motherboard (Apollo Pro 133A) with a PIII 600EB. Any known fix?
ssh locking up
I've got a Windows machine and a Woody box behind my office firewall. I use both to connect to my ISP's shell machines, and to map a port to the remote news server. The firewall/NAT and the remote machine are all FreeBSD - no MS Proxy madness involved here. My problem: I can keep a session open for weeks with the Windows machine, running SecureSSH. But ssh from the Linux box invariably locks up (but remains connected) after 15 minutes to an hour. Any clue why the Debian machine can't keep ssh active?
Minimal news server
Which of the packaged news servers would be a good choice for a purely internal server? I don't need to link to outside newsgroups. I just want something that I can install on minimal hardware and walk away from.
via82c686a sound - 2.2.18 => 2.4.0-p11
using the prebuilt 2.2.18 kernel package, sound on a Via 82c686a chipset sounds fine. Previous to 2.2.18, I was using ALSA - I removed it when 2.2.18 added PCI 82c686 support. With 2.4.0-pre8 through 11 the sound has clicks and pops. Can anyone suggest how to go about finding the problem without involving ALSA? I'm not sure where to begin to look on this one.

Check the kernel documentation for notes on DMA. Or if you're using
the menu configurator for configuring a kernel, look at the help notes
within. I recall seeing notes on an option to be used with one of the

Why not dselect?
Humor me; I think I'm missing something and it's got me curious. In discussions about dealing with .deb packages, apt* and dpkg are mentioned almost universally. It's always been my habit to use dselect for basic installation and removal, leaning on apt* and dpkg for troubleshooting and extended information gathering. The differentiation seems to be akin to using mutt versus piping things to /usr/bin/mail - you can do most basic tasks in both places, but mutt's presentation makes for quick work. Why so much apt and dpkg and so little dselect?

swapping minor device number allocations
I'm not using loadable kernel modules. My tvmixer is taking minor device 0, giving it mixer 0. This leaves via82c686a (sound) taking mixer 1. What can I use on the kernel command line I can use to force these to reverse? I've currently swapped /dev/mixer0 and /dev/mixer1 which is a bit of a hack & something I'd like to get rid of soon!

bind misconfigured (?)
My bind seems to be misconfigured, and I'm not sure where to look for
the problem...
I get suspect things like this:

yet:

yipyap.net
Perhaps someone knows enough about bind to give my configuration a
once-over?
named.conf includes:
zone "yipyap.net" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/db.yipyap.net";
};
And db.yipyap.net is:

When you select a package and dselect jumps to a new screen, the second column of states is the current state, and the 3rd is the resulting state, including all packages needed to resolve dependencies. Only packages affected by this transaction appear in the list. If you don't want to accept the changes, you hit 'R' to bring everything back to the previous state. (Revert) or 'D' force the settings you chose (Damnit, Ian! Like THIS!) If you want to make changes which dselect believes are unsafe, overriding dependencies, you can make whatever changes you like and hit 'Q' to quit without resolving anything. If you get lost and flustered, you can always hit 'X' and leave without changing a thing.

There's a package 'fetchmailconf' that makes setup pretty braindead
easy.
mutt/procmail/fetchmail has been the nicest route for me. There are a
few 10-second procmail walk-throughs, so that's not something to worry
about either.
Take this to set up your procmail rules and I bet you can get
everything set up on the nicer side of 15 minutes.

I think PR #1 sounds right for routing output to the printer, as someone else said. For the transfer, your best option is probably to use a modem for the transfer - you'll need to set up a host that can receive X/Y or Z-modem and take it from there. Alternatively, if you can find someone with a working 3.5" floppy for a //c or ][gs (did they make one for the ][e ever?) there is software available for writing MS-DOS format files, and you can take it from there. Mind, you may want to find a way to convert the BASIC code to a non-tokenized format on the Apple or it's not going to be too useful to you on the PC.

ALSA and the precompiled modules in Woody should work with minimal effort, however. Alternatively, kernel 2.2.18 works with the 82c686 much more nicely. Mine worked immediately.

masquerading & ftp
As a learning exercise, I'm replacing our FreeBSD firewall with a Debian one. The machine is used to provide masquerading for several Windows, Linux and FreeBSD boxes on our cable modem. With Debian, FTP doesn't work from behind a standard masquerading firewall. I've observed the problem with ipfw and ipchains both. What is different about the default handling of FTP, ICQ and similar clients, and what should I read up on to change this behavior? Under FreeBSD, these worked without any special handling.

If it's configured to not provide standard proxy service - only the queerly authenticated MS proxy service, then your best bet is going to be to set up a Windows machine with something like www.wingate.com and use that as a proxy server to feed your Linux machine.
ALSA & missing symbols
If I use a kernel-image package and the corresponding alsa-modules package for 2.2.18 or 2.2.18-pre21 in unstable, I get a load of missing symbols. Are these out of sync, or is this indicative of something else amiss on my system?

Thanks, setterm sure looks like where it should be, but no good
so far. And unfortunately, this is a DVI display with no
workable off switch, so this really needs to work.
No dice on the above or setterm with -powersave powerdown. The
screen goes blank, but does not shut off - the backlight is
still burning.
I know from past experience that if I enable APM and console
display blanking in a custom kernel it works on this machine -
sure should be possible without that though.

Setting up printing
I've never configured a printer under Linux. I've got an Epson Sylus Color 740i hooked up via USB, and I've got it to the point where I can cat files directly to the device and see them printed. I'm a bit baffled by the number of choices of packages which are available, as well as the number of printing systems to choose from, from cups to lpr to half a dozen other choices. 1. Do all of these printing systems need to be configured for printing to work in most apps, or are they complementary? 2. Is there a standard "Debian way" for configuring printing? I fetched task-printing which brought in a selection of utilities, but I don't believe any of them perform any of the configuration for me. Certainly, none prompted for the type of printer I'm using.
What's happened to the task- packages?
What's happened to the task- packages? Suddenly task-c-dev and the other programming-related task packages are listed as 'obsolete' on my system. Have these been replaced by something new?

This will get the kernel to boot Not an answer to the original question, but related - Is there a standard name for an initrd symlink that'll be used in 2.4-series kernel image packages? i.e. vmlinuz->/boot/(current vmlinuz) vmlinuz.old->/boot/(last vmlinuz) ???->/boot/(current initrd) ???.old->/boot/(last initrd)

Freezing during kernel compile
My machine locks hard during kernel compiles with any stock Debian 2.4.x kernel. Using 2.2.x, I can compile without an incident. Usually, shortly before freezing, I will see this dmesg, or one like it << Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address fffc printing eip: c01220ad *pde = 1063 *pte = Oops: 0002 CPU:0 EIP:0010:[] EFLAGS: 00010216 eax: ef678e04 ebx: c01fe4b8 ecx: c1d9f444 edx: c1d9f444 esi: e67fd1e0 edi: ee1ecbe0 ebp: 0074 esp: dfda5e94 ds: 0018 es: 0018 ss: 0018 Process as (pid: 7429, stackpage=dfda5000) Stack: 0074 c1d9f444 c01fe4b8 e67fd1e0 ee1ecbe0 011c c1d9f444 ef678e04 ef678d60 e8916180 c011f22e e67fd1e0 400ee000 400eef10 ee1ecbe0 c011f317 ee1ecbe0 e67fd1e0 400eef10 Call Trace: [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] Code: 50 e8 4d f2 ff ff 89 c3 83 c4 0c 85 db 74 74 8b 7b 18 c1 ef >> (The above was while using the 2.4.8-686 kernel-image.)

With a previous machine, I recall seeing the above when a hard drive
was configured by the BIOS to power down after some period of non-use,
but power management wasn't built into the kernel. There was never any
data loss, only the disturbing messages.
Building a kernel with power support fixed it.
KDE and multiple monitors
I remember some discussion about this a while back, however I can't seem to find it... It's my understanding that KDE needs to have multiple monitor support compiled in, but that the Debian packages wouldn't have this until some future change was made. Is this still the case in sid? If so, is someone already hosting precompiled x86 KDE packages?
Getting an older package
Where might I find the 1251 versions of the nvidia source building packages? The 1541 release of the driver has problems with multihead support, and nvidia recommends stepping back to the older driver. It would be nice to keep this built as a deb to make future upgrading easier.

You can also use the 'screen' package and add a status bar to the display which would let you keep a clock on screen even while using other applications.

I'd say your proxy is likely the problem. Can you 'ping seth' and get
an instantaneous reply?
If you install a web browser and set it up with that proxy, do you get
fast access to it?
Do you have a search entry in your resolv.conf that contains the rest

Well put.
One way to encourage this is to explain where you would look and find
an answer before answering a question, if you even give the answer at
all.
If people see man, /usr/share/doc/, pointers to previous posts and
similar resources mentioned a dozen times a day, they may be more
likely to think of looking in these places before asking a question.

RFC 1033 defines a machine name as an absolute address (A) or a pointer (CNAME), and later states that an ns record contains a machine name, which would seem to make either an A or a CNAME valid. I'd appreciate it if you'd direct me to the newer material that supersedes the information in RFC 1033, Noah. I'll be searching myself as well. I don't wish to remain ignorant, of course. In the mean time, I've changed the configuration to use the machine's A name. Hopefully this will prevent Adam or others from seeing the warning again.

The realtek supposedly has a really wonky and expensive DMA scheme that makes performance similar to a PIO card. Tulip-based cards are very cheap as well, and may serve about as well as the 3Com and Intel cards.

Sorry, missed the start of the thread. With the nvidia card, if you're using the nvidia driver (not the nv), then you'll need to make sure your BIOS is configured to make the AGP card the primary in every sense. (Look for an option called 'boot agp first' or similar.) The nvidia driver doesn't behave well if it's controlling a secondary card. Also, if you've configured X for both cards already, ensure that the nvidia card is being started before the other. Order is important in the layout section.

Prices are coming down quite a bit. And if you shop around a bit, you can find bargains. I got my hands on a whole bunch of Apple Studio LCDs when the local Mac store was making room for the new models. Too many, actually -- I'm going to be throwing extras up on ebay. The original models have DVI connectors and work on regular PCs if you don't mind not being able to power them off manually -- configuring console and X for APM screen-saving turns them off just fine. The color on these things is as good as any CRT. If you want to go a bit cheaper, you can find the older IBM DVI-D displays for as little as $225. The color on these is rather washed out in the lightest and darket ranges - about like an old IBM laptop. I believe Viewsonic and Dell both have closeouts on older models from time to time, where you'll catch LCDs near the price of the equivalent high-quality CRT. I've seen nice 1280x1024s there a time or two. Mind - you CAN go expensive. I treated myself to a Viewsonic vp201mb for work, a 20.1" 1600x1200 DVI display. I could never go back to a CRT after spending time on that! But it cost $2600 when I purchased it last November. (Ouch.) They can be had as cheaply as $1750 now. > > > We do a lot of work in console mode, in addition to some work in X. Will > > > I be able to use all of the framebuffer functiosn on this disply?

These will work with Matrox and nvidia cards. I do not know about others. You may need to rework your refresh rates: LCDs don't usually have refresh rates as high as CRTs. This is mostly because they don't need higher refresh rates. An active matrix display is always on, so it doesn't flicker. IMHO, a good LCD at 60Hz looks better than a CRT at 120Hz. > One quick question. Would it be safe to assume that to run in digital > mode, your video card ahs to have some sort of special output conector? Yes. Your monitor and the video card must match. DVI-D is the most common standard for digital displays on PCs. You can find adapters to match most any card to most any monitor, but these aren't cheap, and can go into the hundreds of dollars range. You should also be aware that DVI card support can be spotty under X. Be sure to read up on DVI-D support for the video card you intend to use. Matrox G200MMS, G400, G450 and all DVI nvidia cards have DVI-D driver support under X. Console "just works." Newer Matrox models likely have support too, as do some of the ATI Radeons, but I have no first-hand experience. Good luck!

Some card/driver combinations will probe. AFAIK, the nvidia driver probes DVI-D panels and ignores any manually configured range specifications. Others may be different.
RE: TNT2 and Potato XF86 3.3
Try hooking each card to the monitor directly or reduce your refresh rate in order to compare the cards.

RE: TNT2 and Potato XF86 3.3
It helps to get really short cables (3ft or less) between the box and the CPUs. This is one of those cases where gold contacts seem to help as well.
