mount trouble with MSDOS fs

1997-12-05 Thread Charles Read
A while back, I reported that

# mount -t msdos /dev/hda1 /mnt

was not working.  Someone said that
running Norton Disk Doctor on /dev/hda1 (C:)
from within Win95 resolved a similar problem.

So I ran Norton Disk Doctor on /dev/hda1.  
It corrected a minor problem, but the mount
command *still* does not work within Linux.

Why?

Regards,
-c

Re: mount trouble with MSDOS fs

1997-12-05 Thread Charles Read
/proc/filesystems shows that msdos, vfat are
present.  I definitely compiled them into the
kernel sometime back.

The error msg is:

# mount -t msdos /dev/hda1 /mnt
[MS-DOS FS Rel. 12, FAT 16, check=n,conv=b,uid=0, ...]
[me=0xf8,cs=8,#f=2, ...]

VFS:  Can't find a valid MSDOS filesystem on dev
mount:  wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda1
or too many mounted filesystems

No kernel support? You need to have the fat and msdos modules installed,
or compiled in. (fat is a base for both msdos and vfat). What's the 
error
message you're getting?

Is `Okidata 6e' page printer a `Windows-based' printer?

1997-12-21 Thread Charles Read
Following the Print-HOWTO, I did this from root:

 # cat /etc/printcap > /dev/lp1

My printer's LED blinked, with no further response after.
/proc/devices shows that lp exists; `dmesg | grep lp' shows
that my printer is recognized at port 0x378 (the IRQ should
be 7, but I could not verify this from Linux).

QUESTION:  Does this mean my printer is `Windows-based',
ie, unusable under Linux?  [If not, is there some other
way to determine an answer to this question?]

immovable mouse cursor under XFree86 (Debian 1.3)

1997-11-05 Thread Charles Read
I'v installed Debian 1.3 on an AMD-K6 platform.
My Xserver, XF86_S3V, starts out fine and autodetects
the chipset used for my Nitro 3D (S3 ViRGE/GX).
In the /etc/X11/XF86Setup, I specify in the Pointer
section a protocol of "IntelliMouse" and a device
of "/dev/ttyS0".  However, the mouse cursor does
not respond or move.  I get the same behavior for
all four possible setups with protocols "Mouse" and
"IntelliMouse" and devices "/dev/ttyS0" and "/dev/ttyS1".

What's wrong?

Update: immovable mouse cursor under XFree86 (Debian 1.3)

1997-11-05 Thread Charles Read
The bottom of my mouse says the mouse
is an IntelliMouse 1.1A and PS/2 compatible.
The port the mouse plugs into is a PS/2 port
(ie, round).  So within /etc/X11/XF86Config,
I changed (under the "Pointer" section) the
Protocol to be "PS/2", and then changed
the Device to be "/dev/mouse"  [On my box, 
/dev/mouse is a link to /dev/ttyS0.].

This did not work.  IE, the pointer is still
immovable.  Also, I tried /dev/psaux, but
my X server failed because it could not open
this device.

I believe both "PS/2" and "/dev/mouse"
are correct.

What else could be messing up the mouse/cursor?

Moving files between DOS hard drive and Linux hard drive

1997-11-10 Thread Charles Read
I have read through some of the man-pages
for "mtools", but I cannot determine how to
move a file between a DOS hard drive and
a Linux hard drive.  [By "DOS hard drive",
I mean the drive containing Win95, etc.;
by "Linux hard drive", I mean a 2nd drive
containing Debian 1.3.]

If I initiate the file transfer from Linux, does
the DOS drive need to be mounted?  If so,
how do you assign a DOS drive name (Eg, "c:")
to the mounted partition?

Update: mounting MS-DOS fs onto Linux

Here's what I tried:

0. Looked at /proc/filesystems to verify

1. Ran "dmesg | more" to verify that /dev/hda1
was the correct partition.

2. Ran mount and got this result:

# mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt

Update: mounting MS-DOS fs onto Linux

1997-11-12 Thread Charles Read
I have not yet tried to install LILO.  But I have rebuilt
Linux with a different device-set about 2-3 times.
I'm not sure how that could impact the /dev/hda1
partition since that drive is excluded from my boot
setup files.

BTW, /dev/hda1 has about 2GB of Win95 software,
so my preference is to avoid re-building it.

Any further clues?

troubleshooting PnP modem on Linux 2.0.29 platform

1997-11-22 Thread Charles Read
I run Win95 and Linux 2.0.29 off separate hard drives
running off an AMD K6 platform.  Win95 uses a
Plug-and-Play modem from Computer Peripherals, Inc.
(a ViVa 56LC-SM).  Linux, however, cannot dial out
on this device; in fact, cu/kermit cannot even connect
to the device.

I have verified with setserial, /proc/interrupts, minicom,
and my BIOS configuration that IRQs and other system
parameters are reasonably set.

The Serial-HOWTO indicates that PnP modems are
*not* recommended, but that people are known to
have got them working.

If so, how?  I have David Howell's pnp module/driver
software, but I'm reluctant to install and use it.  Does
anyone have hard evidence that a ViVa 56LC-SM will
work under Linux?

Regards,
Charles

Re: troubleshooting PnP modem on Linux 2.0.29 platform

1997-11-22 Thread Charles Read
The modem hangs off 0x2F8, with IRQ 3 the active
interrupt request.  'setserial -a /dev/ttyS1' verifies this
data.

But if I say (from root):

# cu -s 115200 -l /dev/ttyS1

I get a "Permission denied" error, even though
'ls -l' shows /dev/ttyS1 to be read/writable by
user&group.

If I go to kermit and say [this if from the Serial-HOWTO]:

c-kermit> set line /dev/ttyS1
c-kermit> set carrier-watch off
c-kermit> set speed 115200
c-kermit> c

the kermit-shell hangs and I do not get an OK prompt.
But, if I toggle to another Linux screen and say

# cat /proc/interrupts

interrupt 3 is shown with a 0-count.  As soon as
kermit is killed, then interrupt 3 disappears from
/proc/interrupts.

All of this, BTW, happens after I successfully dial
out from Win95, and reboot to Linux from the rescue
floppy, ie, without powering off the CPU.

Once the device is configured to a known location, either by
your BIOS or by isapnptools, then it should work. What is
the problem exactly when you try to use the modem? If
the port doesn't seem to exist to Linux you might need to
uncomment some parts of /etc/rc.boot/0setserial which
from memory only enables the first two ports by default.
I had a PnP modem working here while testing it, using
isapnptools.

PnP does not respond to cu

1997-11-24 Thread Charles Read

Here's what's happening:

# cu --speed 115200 --line /dev/ttyS1
cu: open (/dev/ttyS1): Permission denied
cu: /dev/ttyS1: Line in use
# dmesg | grep tty
tty01 at 0x02f8 (irg = 3) is a 16450
# ls -l /dev/tty01
ls: /dev/tty01: No such file or directory

Questions:

1. Why does /dev/tty01 appear in dmesg?
2. Why does cu claim /dev/ttyS1 is tied up?
... has permission problems?
3. Do I need any special modules loaded into
   my kernel?  Eg, like a PnP module?

cu connects to PnP modem ok, but no response for AT

1997-11-26 Thread Charles Read
Earlier, I reported that:

# cu --speed 115200 ---line /dev/ttyS1
cu:  open (/dev/ttyS1): Permission denied
cu:  /dev/ttyS1:  Line in use

To fix this, I did:

# vigr
[added my user name to the 'dialout' group]
# newgrp dialout

Then:

# cu --speed 115200 --line /dev/ttyS1
Connected
[here I type "at&f", which is not echoed]
cu: write:  I/O error
Disconnected
#

I've tried using the minicom setup, but the dialout
there doesn't work either.  Ditto for dip.

Why doesn't my modem, once connected, accept
commands from keyboard input?

PCL printer cannot be accessed

1997-11-26 Thread Charles Read
Two questions:

1. If I used dvihp to generate a PCL file, can I then
   go to a DOS shell in Win95 and say:
   c:> copy PCL.file LPT1

   I tried this, but first page was very messed up.

2. I tried:
# dvihp -Plp1 text.dvi

But got some "connection refused" message.
Ditto for the 'lpq' command.

I have added me & root to the "lp" group 
in /etc/group, and ran "newgrp lp", so 
group permissions I don't think is hte problem.

Yes.  I set up a K6 from Cybermax a while back.
X11, emacs, et al seem to run fine.  My biggest
problem is figuring out how to get 'everything else'
to work, like the PnP modem, PnP sound card,
and PCL printer [BTW, I've concluded that unless
you find a PCL printer with PostScript capability,
you're stuck with either one that works really well
under Win95 (PCL) or one that works really well
under Linux (PostScript).].

Re: cu connects to PnP modem ok, but no response for AT

1997-12-01 Thread Charles Read
In the BIOS, I turn the 'PnP OS' option off.
In the 'PCI peripherals' section of the BIOS,
I disable the two 'Onboard serial devices'
(as these two 9-pin ports are currently unused).

When I look into Win95, I look at the settings
for my modem and find that IRQ 4 is used for
address 0x3f8, with DMAs 7, 5 active.

Then, I go to Linux, set up the same for /dev/ttyS1 
through 'setserial' and the 'isapnp' tools.  When I
use 'cu' to connect to the modem, I go to
another xterm and type 'cat /proc/interrupts'
to see what's going on with IRQ 4.

Well, IRQ 4 fires off exactly 0 times, according
to /proc/interrupts.  Moreover, the modem never
responds to ATE1 or anything else.

I'm really at my wit's end on this one.  But other
people with PnP modems are reporting working
setups.  Sigh.

What's the solution?

Could also be several things, like echo is disabled (favourite of
Windows) (ATE1 to enable it), IRQ conflicts, etc. If the BIOS
set up the PnP card, it could well be an IRQ conflict because
the BIOS has absolutely no idea what IRQs the legacy hardware is using
unless you've configured it correctly.

PnP modem woes continue, IRQ never fires for modem

1997-12-02 Thread Charles Read
Here's what I've done:

0. I installed isapnptools and set up the
/etc/isapnp.conf file, which is provided
below.  I based the configuration on the
readout for my modem within Win95.
1. I went through various setserial commands
   as in the /usr/doc/isapnptools/README.modules
   file.
3. I tried using both minicom and cu to connect
to the modem.  Neither echoes commands,
even if I say ATE1.  Nor does /proc/interrupts
indicate that the relevant IRQ is even firing at all.
4. I've looked in the BIOS, turned off PnP OS, turned
off unused onboard serial devices.  Also, in the
PnP/PCI submenu in the BIOS, I also toggled
to 'Legacy device' for the relevant IRQ and 2 of
   the DMAs I thought were getting used.

[BTW, what is a 'Legacy device', and why would
you need it for a PnP modem?]

5. FYI, the modem is a ViVa 56K speaker/phone
with a Lucent 1643 chipset.  It works fine for
Win95.

QUESTIONS:

a. For the /etc/isapnp.conf file below, how do you know
   what ID to use for the DMA?  ie, I can see from Win95
   that I need channels 7 and 6, but should I use 

   (DMA 0 (Channel 7))  and  (DMA 1 (Channel 6))

   or should I use

   (DMA 0 (Channel 7))  and  (DMA 0 (Channel 6))

  or something else?  Or does the DMA 0/1 ID not matter?

b. I opened up the tower and noticed some cabling between
   the sound card and the modem card.  That seems normal,
   but could this be involved at all?

c. I noticed under the Device>Resources tab for my modem
in Win95 that two distinct ranges are given:  0x3f8 and
0x100.   I always use 0x3f8 (or 0x2f8).  What is the
purpose of the second range starting at 0x100?

Thanks,
-c

Re: PnP modem woes continue, IRQ never fires for modem

Yes, the serial device appears in /proc/ioports
as:

...
0x3f8:  serial (set)
...

BTW, how do you talk to a modem from DOS?
I want to try what Nathan suggested and see
if the modem is a 'WinModem'.  How else
could you tell if not from DOS?

Regards,

A tech-support person with the company that built
my system just told me that all 56K modems they
deal with are 'Windows-based'.  We walked through
a simple AT command in DOS, and COM1 (ie, 0x3f8)
emitted an I/O error.

Interesting.  This modem came from Computer Peripherals.
Maybe they do 'Win modems' based on Lucent chipset.
That seems to be the case  Sigh.

Guess I might have to buy another modem,

A tech-support person at Cybermax Computer, which

are "Windows-based".  We walked through a simple
AT command under DOS, and COM1 (ie, 0x3f8) emitted
an I/O error. 

It appears my modem is one of the dreaded 'Win modems'.

Interesting.  Computer Peripherals made my modem.
Maybe they make 'Win modems' based on the Lucent
chipset.  At least that appears to be the case.

I guess I have to buy another modem...Sigh.

cyrus-sasl source install for postfix... did it work?

2004-12-19 Thread Charles Read
Hey everybody,
I just did a source install of the cyrus-sasl source package, I  
followed the instructions on the Debian manual pages  
(http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-faq/ch-pkg_basics.en.html#s- 
sourcepkgs), I didn't get any errors or anything but when I reload  
postfix is doesn't list any auth options when I do a ehlo over telnet.   
Do I need to recompile postfix?  How can I do this?  When I run  
saslauthd the command is not found... how can I make sure that the sasl  
package is working and working with postfix?  Any suggestions are much  
appreciated!

Thank you all in advance!

saslauthd? I can't seem to get it installed for postfix..

2004-12-21 Thread Charles Read
Hey everybody!
I am trying to run a postfix with sasl support on my Debian box.  I 
have tried apt-getting all sasl packages and saslauthd is nowhere to be 
found on my system...  how has everybody else done it?  Also, I know 
postfix has to be compiled with sasl support for it to work... how can 
I do this with apt-get?  Is it automatically done when I apt-get the 
postfix package or how does that work?

Anything is appreciated!!!
Thanks!!!

Re: saslauthd? I can't seem to get it installed for postfix..

2004-12-21 Thread Charles Read
OK, so I got the postfix-tls package, didn't know about that thanks!  
But still cant find saslauthd... don't I need to start it?  Now an ehlo 
over telnet shows AUTH and STARTTLS like expected and I created 
/usr/local/lib/sasl/smtpd.conf with the line 'pwcheck_method: pam' 
(although shouldn't it be pwcheck_method:saslauthd ?) but when I try to 
login via an MUA it rejects my system user passwords  can you 
please help me with what this means?

Thanks!

boot disk for sarge?

2004-12-23 Thread Charles Read
Hey everybody,
Just installed sarge, GRUB is all messed up so I'm trying to make a 
boot floppy to be able to boot for now.  But I can't find any choices 
for Make a Boot Floppy in the menu system on the netinstall disc like 
there is on the woody disc.  Can you please tell me how to do this with 
the kernel that was recently installed?

Thanks bunches!!!

dual boot? what do i need to do?

2005-01-07 Thread Charles Read
Hey everybody!
Im trying to install Gentoo on my functional Debian system, I have 2 
HD's, /dev/hdab and hdb.  I have / on hda1 (set bootable), swap on 
hda2, and /home on hdb1 /usr on hdb2 and am trying to put Gentoo on 
hdb3.  I have my menu.lst file in /boot/grub, but that is on the Debian 
/ partition, I am assuming that I will need to edit menu.lst in order 
to be able to boot into Gentoo once installed on hdb3, but how will it 
being on hda1 affect the install?  That is if I make hdb3 the root 
partition for my Gentoo system (and set up a seperate swap space of 
course) and install Gentoo's kernel and initrd image on hdb3 how will 
the menu.lst (acting as grub.conf?) be able to see the image(s) on 
hdb3?  Or will that be determined by my setup of menu.lst (as in 
root=hd1,0) for the Gentoo entry?  I wouldn't need to make hdb3 
bootable would I?

Anything is appreciated!!
Thanks millions!!

"Upgrading" to sarge when it goes stable?

2005-05-30 Thread Charles Read

Hey everybody!

I currently run sarge (debian testing that is) on a few important 
servers, how should I handle sarge going from testing to stable?  Is it 
like at an instant all the testing repositories will be labeled stable 
and from that moment forward everybody with woody has sarge, and 
likewise everybody with sarge then having sid?  Any help?


THX!
