You don't need tools like ghost. You can do everything with linux' native utils. Just do the following steps: Plug in your new disk and partition it to your needs. (i'll assume the new disk is /dev/sda) Reboot after partitioning Make a filesystem on the new partition (i'd choose reiserfs or ext3) mkfs -t reiserfs /dev/sda1 Mount the new filesystem mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/new_disk Copy the whole old disks contents to the new disk and preserve all file attributes cp -a / /mnt/new_disk Open a new shell and chroot to the filesystem on the new disk chroot /mnt/new_disk Install a boot loader on the MBR of the new disk (if you have Grub) grub-install /dev/sda Pull out your old disk and insert your new disk.

I think I missed something. The -x option to "cp" namely. cp -ax / /mnt/new_disk I currently don't understand what you mean with symlink issues (this should _not_ sound rude, i'm not a native english speaker). The only disadvantage I can think of is that hardlinked files will be seperated. One can only avoid this by using a filesystem dump utility. Symlinks should not make any problems if the path to the linked to file does not change. (Even if the partitioning scheme changes there should be no problems as long as the mount point is the same) One could also try to use "dd" as long as the sector adressing of the disk won't change... -Christian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

question regarding post-installed packages
Hi altogether, I'm new to *Debian* and so far I like it very much. I´ve some (basic) knowledge regarding Linux-distros but this knowledge is based on the fact that I´ve been using Lubuntu (ubuntu derivative) for some time now. I appreciate there are some differences between Ubuntu and Debian so I installed *Debian10 buster* as a VM - in order to gather some experience with it. Up and until now I seem to be getting along with it just fine and I like the fact that it´s really lightweight. I´ve got one question though: Using (L)Ubuntu I had a certain _command_ at hand which helped me with fresh/clean installs. Before converting to a new version I entered the following command (on the old OS) in the terminal: /comm -23 <(apt-mark showmanual | sort -u) <(gzip -dc /var/log/installer/initial-status.gz | sed -n 's/^Package: //p' | sort -u)/ This gave me list of all packages which were post-installed after the initial setup. All I had to do was putting the results of the command in a text file, say "*result.txt*". The beauty of this command is that it produces the packages (programmes that I installed with apt) *without* any dependencies. After installing the new system I used the command /xargs -a /path-to-result.txt sudo apt-get install/ and my new system was on the same level as my old one before. Trying out that very command in Debian however didn´t work as desired: /comm -23 <(apt-mark showmanual | sort -u) <(gzip -dc /var/log/installer/initial-status.gz | sed -n 's/^Package: //p' | sort -u)// //gzip: /var/log/installer/initial-status.gz: No such file or directory// //adduser// //anydesk// //apt// //...// //zlib1g/ So there was some output but not the one I was looking for. The file "*initial-status.gz*" indeed doesn´t exist in /var/log/installer. Here are the contents of /var/log/installer in Debian: /rosika2@debian ~> ll /var/log/installer/// //insgesamt 1,4M// //drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4,0K Jun 16 16:59 cdebconf/// //-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 20K Jun 16 16:59 hardware-summary// //-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 160 Jun 16 16:59 lsb-release// //-rw--- 1 root root 107K Jun 16 16:59 partman// //-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 72K Jun 16 16:59 status// //-rw--- 1 root root 1,2M Jun 16 16:59 syslog// //-rw--- 1 root root 41K Jun 16 16:59 Xorg.0.log/ So my question is: Does this file exist at all (possibly using another path)? Or is there another preferred way of getting info concerning all post-installed packages (without their dependencies)? Thanks a lot for your help in advance. Many greetings. Rosika
Re: question regarding post-installed packages
Hello Hans, thanks so much for your very quick reply. I just tried out the command you provided and it seems to produce quite an extensive list beginning with "acl" and ending with "zlib1g:amd64". So it´s basically a list with all the packages which are installed by default plus the packages I installed afterwards. I was hoping for a list that provides just my post-installed packages. But I assume that in view of the fact that the /i*nitial-status.gz */doesn´t seem to exist on Debian there´s no way of achieving this goal. Never mind. Your command will certainly be of great assistance when setting up a new system. Thank you very much for that, Hans. Many greetings and keep safe.

Re: question regarding post-installed packages
Dear Hans, 😁 thanks again for your help. > if you can see in this file, which packages are postinstalled or dependent [...] Alas that doesn´t seem to be the case. As an example I post-installed the fish-shell and the respective entry simply is: /fish install/ , so basically like all the other entries as well. But your suggestion of making two files - one after the initial OS setup and then another one after having done my post-installs - and then comparing these two files really makes sense. Thanks for pointing that out. Thanks also for your personal suggestion referring to a minimal install which is very good indeed and seems to be best suited for my purposes. Your help is highly appreciated; thanks so much again. 😁 Many greetings Rosika Am 22.06.21 um 16:31 schrieb Hans: Am Dienstag, 22.

However, if you can see in this file, which packages are postinstalled or dependent, you can just filter this file with tools like cat, grep or even sort. On the other hand, you can make two result files. One at the first installation, the second one after you installed your packages. After that, you will see the difference of both. In fact, my personal suggestion is, just install a minimal system, one as small as possible. When this is up, install all the tools and packages you really need. So you will always install only the stuff, you REALLY need, verything else ist just crap (and may be misused). Hope this helps either. Best regards Hans
Re: question regarding post-installed packages
Hi Andrei, thanks a lot for your reply. 😁 > It's unclear what exactly '/comm -23' is supposed to be Well, from the man pages (man comm) : /comm [OPTION]...

Also, guessing from the command, this is supposed to be run under fish (the shell). The default shell in Debian is bash, which needs slightly different syntax for what you want to do. In any case, 'apt-mark showmanual' definitely exists and works in Debian and is one way to achieve what you need (aptitude is another). The file /var/log/installer/initial-status.gz doesn't exist on a fairly recent install of Debian bullseye (soon to be Debian 11). I'm guessing it is created by the Ubuntu installer. If you show us an example (attaching it might work, if it's not too big) we might come up with methods to recreate the information on a fresh Debian install. Hope this helps, Andrei
Debian stable - updates
Hi altogether, as I´m a newcomer to Debian and coming from Lubuntu I searched for information as far as the release model is concerned. I learned that there are three different releases: stable, testing, and unstable. I know I´m not supposed to post any links here but for the sake of reference I´ll still do it this time (sorry). I´m referring to the article "Debian vs Ubuntu" on https://linuxconfig.org/debian-vs-ubuntu . I quote: "Debian's stable release is insanely stable. There are few distributions in the same league when it comes to rock solid reliability. [...] There is a tradeoff, though. The software in Debian Stable is usually fairly outdated. In fact, it's usually outdated when the distribution first ships. Now, that's not much of a problem for servers, but it's awful for desktops. " Despite reading through the entire article I couldn´t really understand why the author refers to Debian stable as being "awful" for desktops. So I have a question in order to be clear about the matter. Is Debian stable safe to use - I mean in the sense that it gets security updates for the installed packages? I don´t really care about updates which would introduce new features of programmes. All I´m concerned about is getting security updates so that I can use Debian stable as my daily driver. Thanks in advance for your help. Many greetings Rosika
Re: Debian stable - updates
Hi Doc Evans, thanks a lot for your reply. That´s great news indeed. The fact that Debian stable is rock solid is a great asset in itself. So together with security updates it will surely make for a fine production system especially for older computers like my Lenovo H520e desktop. Thank you for clarifying the matter for me. Many greetings and keep safe. Rosika
Re: Debian stable - updates
Hi Tomas, thank you so much for your reply. > Thing is: "stable" means [...] Only bug fixes and security patches go in. Great! That is the most important aspect for me. I really don't need the latest-and-greatest version of packages. All I do need is a stable and secure system. So Debian stable turns out to be ideally suited for my purposes. I've installed it in a VM for now (qemu, KVM) to see how it performs. I must say I'm very impressed. It runs smoothly even with just 1 GB RAM allocated to it. I'm sure it'll make a fine system as a production system. Thanks again and keep safe. Many greetings. Rosika
Re: Debian stable - updates
Hi Didar, thanks for your opinion as well. Good to learn there are so many users satisfied with Debian stable. Many greetings. Rosika
Re: Debian stable - updates
Hi again, so sorry to bother you kind people once more. It turns out I've got an additional question regarding updates. On https://www.debian.org/security/#keeping-secure under "Keeping your Debian system secure" it says: "You can use apt to easily get the latest security updates. This requires a line such as deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates main contrib non-free in your /etc/apt/sources.list file. Then execute apt-get update && apt-get upgrade" I looked up the respective file on my system and it looks like this: 1 # 2 3 # deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 10.9.0 _Buster_ - Official amd64 xfce-CD Binary-1 20210327-10:42]/ buster main 4 5 #deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 10.9.0 _Buster_ - Official amd64 xfce-CD Binary-1 20210327-10:42]/ buster main 6 7 deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ buster main 8 deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ buster main 9 10 deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates main 11 deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates main 12 13 # buster-updates, previously known as 'volatile' 14 deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ buster-updates main 15 deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ buster-updates main 16 17 # This system was installed using small removable media 18 # (e.g. netinst, live or single CD). The matching "deb cdrom" 19 # entries were disabled at the end of the installation process. 20 # For information about how to configure apt package sources, 21 # see the sources.list(5) manual. From the advice given at the debian page (see above) I gather I have to change the contents of line 10, right? As there's just "main" in it right now I'd have to add "contrib" and "non-free" I think. But what about line 11? Would I have to do the same there as well? Thanks a lot in advance for your help. Many greetings. Rosika
Re: Debian stable - updates
Hi Greg, thank you so much for your very quick reply. > It's not necessary at this time. Good to know. I see. So in case I want it I'd have to add "contrib" and "non-free" in line 7 first. Perhaps I'm a bit slow to understand, but what about lines 8, 11, 14 and 15 then? All these also contain just "main". Would they have to be altered as well? Thanks a lot. Rosika
Re: Debian stable - updates
Hi Greg, thank you very much for your help. It's highly appreciated. It's so good to have have some confirmation by such knowledgeable people like you. So for now I think I won't have to change anything as I'm currently running Debian stable in a virtual machine. Yet when setting it up as a daily driver (as a main system) I'd consider applying the changes especially in view of microcode. I'm really glad to have learnt something new (to me at least) again. Thanks a lot for your help. Many greetings and keep safe. Rosika
Re: Debian stable - updates
Hi and a very good day to all of you, 😁 thank you very much for the new input of yours. You're too kind. @T.J. Duchene: Thanks a lot for the warm welcome. That' s really nice. I enjoy it very much here. Your instruction to update policies used by Debian stable is very good; I understand it much better now. Thanks a lot. Stable and well-maintained are exactly what I'm looking for in an OS. So Debian stable seems to be perfectly suited for my purposes. Plus: it's really lightweight (especially with xfce). Ideal for my Lenovo H520e. 😉 Thanks again for your kind help. @Francesco Florian: > This is, if you really want to track 'stable', i.e., automatically switch to the new stable release when it becomes such. I see. Yet personally I'd like to stay at Buster as long as I can. Thanks for the suggestion anyway. @Greg Wooledge: Thanks so much for the warning and the additional info. It's much appreciated. @Tomas: Thanks to you as well. @Andrew M.A. Cater > If you say buster, then when buster slides to become oldstable, your system won't change underneath you suddenly. Yes, that's exactly how I want it to be. No nasty surprises and no big downloads (at least for the time being). My sole means of internet connection is a UMTS-stick with 5 GB data available per 28 days. So I have to be able to plan well in advance for occasions like that. Thanks a lot for the info. @Andrei POPESCU: > It's much better to use the codename instead and subscribe to debian-announce (in addition to debian-security-announce, of course). > When a new release is announced start preparing for the upgrade, you have one year to do so. Wow, that info is really new to me; well I'm just a beginner as far as Debian is concerned. But really good to know. Thanks a lot. 😁 > You might want to switch to `apt` instead. Indeed I've made it a habit to use "apt" instead of "apt-get" for quite a while now. Thanks for the additional info as well. So I think (and hope) I understand much better now how Debian updates are to be configured and work. It's really good to have a place to go to and post questions when help is needed. You´re a great community! I appreciate it very much. 😉 Thanks again to all of you for your kind help. A very nice weekend and do keep safe. Many greetings from Rosika 😁

I want to change the screen-resolution of my grub-screen (first the grub-screen, if this works also the console), but if I write a "GRUB_GFXMODE=1400x1050" into /etc/default/grub and invoke update-grub, the grub-screen is still 640x480. I asked for the actual screen-mode with vbetest on the grub-console and it is really 0x101 which means 640x480. In my /boot/grub/grub.cfg I have the desired line "set gfxmode=1400x1050", but it is totally ignored by grub. Where is the problem? Can anybody help. Ah yes, I use Squeeze and a thinkpad T60.

Network Manager forgets WPA2 password.
Hi, When I log into Gnome-Shell my WPA2 password is remembered between sessions in Network Manager. But when I log into my default desktop (Pekwm/Tint2) which also uses Network Manager I have to enter the password every time.

This is a common problem with window managers; you have to configure/start the Gnome daemons that give the nice functionality by hand. That's probably it. What does it look like when running 'ps aux | grep gnome-keyring-daemon' in a terminal? On my machine it gives the following: ps aux | grep gnome-keyring-daemon adrian2964 0.0 0.0 4052 760 pts/2S+ 03:15 0:00 grep gnome-keyring-daemon adrian3816 0.0 0.1 58308 3696 ?SLl 01:30 0:00 /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --daemonize --login On mine: 1000 17180 0.0 0.0 7792 876 pts/0S+ 23:41 0:00 grep gnome-keyring-daemon I'm not sure how gnome-keyring-daemon is started, there is gnome-keyring stuff in /etc/xdg/autostart which gets started at login and also there is /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.gnome.keyring.service (but neither starts gnome-keyring-daemon with '--daemonize --login'). I myself am running Openbox, but thank god, I didn't have problems with this. In Pekwm the startup "manage" is a text file called 'start'. I already have a few things started from there, so I will look into having gnome-keyring-daemon start also. Thanks!

NM is not the most reliable piece of software, and wicd only allows one network interface to be used at a time last I tried it. I've been pretty happy with Network Manager over the last couple of years. Before that it was wicd, but I was under the impression that wicd was lagging development wise and not all up to date.

Weird behaviour on System under high load
Hi there, I am having trouble with a new build system. It works normal and stable until I put extreme stress on it, e.g. using all 12 cores with stress tool. System will suddenly loose network connection and become unresponsive. Only a reset works. I am not sure what is going on, but it is reproducible: Put stress on the system and it fails. It seems, that something is getting out of step. Stuff below I found in the logs. I tried quite a bit, even upgraded to bookworm, to see if the newer kernel works. If anyone knows how to analyze this issue, it would be very helpful.

Re: Weird behaviour on System under high load
Hi there, Lets go through the different topics: - Setup: It is a AMD 5600G on a ASRock B550M-ITX/ac, powered by a BeQuiet SP7 300W - Power: From the specifications it should fit. As it takes 5-20 minutes for the error to occur, I would take that as an indication, that the power supply is ok. Otherwise would expect that to fail right away? Is there a way to measure/test if there is any issue with it? I also tested to limit PPT to 45W which also makes no difference. - Memory: Yes was tested right after the build with no errors - Thermal: I am observing the temperatures on the stresstest. If I am correct in reading Smbusmaster0, Temps haven't been above 71°C, but error also occurs earlier, way below 70. - OS: I was running Debian stable in quite a minimal configuration (fresh install as most services are dockerized) when first observed the error. Now moved to Debian 12/Bookworm to see if it makes any difference with higher kernel (it does not). Also exchanged r8169 for the r8168. It changes the error messages, however system instability stays. I could disconnect the disks and see if it makes any difference. However when reproducing this error, disks other than system where unmounted. So would guess this would be a test to see if it is about power?

No, it is the package and command "s-tui" and "stress"
s-tui gives you an overview on power usage, fan control, temps, core
frequencies and core utilization on the console
stress is just producing load on selected # of cpus, it can be
integrated in s-tui.

My crashes before would occur between a few minutes and 1 hour load. Now I hope everything is stable. Crashes are gone, only the network error seems to be unresolved (even though there is some workaround).

Debian 12.6 - clamav-deamon does not use a socket
Hello, I'm currently struggling with the problem that my clamav daemon creates /var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl as a socket, but I can't connect to Rspamd. At first I thought that rspamd wasn't sending anything, but clamav isn't addressing any socket. When I check this using sockstat, no active socket is displayed. So clamav doesn't seem to be addressing the socket. I uninstalled everything from clamav again and deleted the directories by hand. Then I downloaded everything again from the Debian 12 repository. Everything is created and a new socket is created, but the same thing happens again: the socket doesn't work. Do I have to tell it beforehand via a setting that it should be active? Of course, the clamav.conf states: LocalSocket /var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl The logs show that the signatures are loaded and the function is checked every 3600 seconds. But the socket is not working. What could be the reason for this?

X server blocked by SecureBoot
Hello out there, I have an issue with my new Debian installation. I choose stable for now, to keep it simple.

And neither in the dmesg, there is no "lsm=" line. Only in the kernel .config is CONFIG_SECURITY_LOCKDOWN=y, enabled. So yes the kernel supports it.

Re: X server blocked by SecureBoot
Hello Kevin, thank you for support. I choosed Nvidia again deliberately because I want to play with Tesorflow, Scikit-Learn and GPT. And yes I had my experiences with Nvidia over the year as well. But I decided to take Nvidia again. Maybe there are more people like me, giving up the installation silently for another distro? BR Christian 29 Oct 2024 17:38:39 Timothy M Butterworth : NVIDIA is a major pain in the ass with Linux. Which is why I do not use them. Actually this is more Linux being a major pain in the ass to Nvidia. When secure boot is enabled lockdown is automatically enabled. Really debian should provide an Nvidia package that explains the issue, sets lockdown none and runs update-grub. Unfortunately I don't believe the kernel allows just enabling raw io to even signed modules. You can look up some things like disabling debugfs to restore some of lockdowns security. I think kernel memory access is kept disabled.
Re: X server blocked by SecureBoot
Hello Timothy, I did so. I used Debian Testing/Trixie, which I also use on my current old system (build 2015) with apt pinning and everything... The ISO I used was debian-live-testing-amd64-xfce.iso.

So i guess you have to look into your boot configuration for kernel parameter "lockdown". On https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=290866 i see this statement by espritlibre: "Re: Secure boot and Nvidia i have secure boot enabled, but lockdown disabled (for another reason). loading the nvidia module does taint the kernel, but loads and work just fine with prime-run on a hybrid systme. i'm not signing OOT modules, just kernel and efi stuff." (Whatever "prime-run" might be ...) Have a nice day :) Thomas
No display found with Nvidia RTX 4060 Ti
Hello out there, Im still struggle with my new Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti and it seems that it's not the problem with the SecureBoot system. I switched off SecureBoot and it's still not working. First of all again the system consists of MSI Z690-A board with a Intel Core I7-14700, 64GB RAM. I installed Debian stable, testing and unstable but the symptoms are everwhere the same. With Debian stable I was able to boot with a Display Manger (lightdm) but only with standard resolution (so Nouveau or Vesa driver). When I build the proprietary with DKMS it fails finding a display. With Testing and Unstable is the same. I build the driver from the original Nvidia driver and this worked (build on Testing and Unstable) When the system boots up it produces 2 Xorg.log files in an order. It finishes the 1st one with the lines: [ 149.799] (II) UnloadSubModule: "glxserver_nvidia" [ 149.799] (II) Unloading glxserver_nvidia [ 149.799] (II) UnloadSubModule: "wfb" [ 149.799] (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.

First of all, if your CDs are still mentioned in /etc/apt/sources.list, then your CDs will be the primary source for installing new packages, as long as there are no newer versions in the Debian archive and / or you don't have added sources for a younger distribution version (testing / unstable). In the latter cases the packages will be fetched from the net. So first have a look if entries like these exist in your sources list: deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 r3 _Potato_ - Official i386 Binary-3 (20010427)]/ unstable contrib main non-US/contrib non-US/main deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 r3 _Potato_ - Official i386 Binary-2 (20010427)]/ unstable contrib main non-US/contrib non-US/main deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 r3 _Potato_ - Official i386 Binary-1 (20010427)]/ unstable contrib main non-US/contrib non-US/main If not you can use apt-cdrom to add all your CDs, so you don't need to edit that by hand. Beside that you can define priorities for your sources in /etc/apt/preferences. Create it if doesn't already exist. You can set your prefered distribution version and that way you can use e.g. packages from testing by default and if needed you can also install packages from unstable with 'apt-get install -t unstable '. For using packages from testing by default /etc/apt/preferences would look like this: # this lowers the priority level of unstable packages Package: * Pin: release a=unstable Pin-Priority: 50 And of course you can also set versions for single packages.

You also need to install the nvidia-glx package and then modify your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 like the following description from the nvidia-glx readme file: If you already have an XF86Config file working with a different driver (such as the 'nv' or 'vesa' driver), then all you need to do is find the relevant Device section and replace the line: Driver "nv" (or Driver "vesa") with Driver "nvidia" In the Module section, make sure you have: Load "glx" You should also remove the following lines: Load "dri" Load "GLcore" Note: if you have version 4.x of the X server (you can check this with 'dpkg --status xserver-common'), which is most probably the case, then you have to edit XF86Config-4 instead of XF86Config.

Thanks a lot for any suggestions. Is it a Dell system? As this is not known to me as a standard service, it could be either Dell's monitoring software or a trojan.

Of course, you just established a connection to that port at this moment. It's up to you to type in a command that the service will respond on. So you have to know or to guess what the protocol looks like. That's why I called it 'fiddling'. Just to get an impression what I'm talking about, establish a telnet connection to any webserver (port 80) and then type "HEAD / HTTP/1.0" and the server will return it's identification, version, etc. or try "GET /" and you will get the start page of this server in plain text. Again, there are several trojans that use that specific port e.g.: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/backdoor.gapin.html http://www.simovits.com/trojans/tr_data/y935.html Google will tell you more! :) Regards, Christian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

compilation problems
Dear Debian Community,
I just installed Debian 3.0.0r0 from the set of 7 cd's and I am very
excited about it
(and a new user to debian).
I have, however a problem compiling any kind of C - Files.
I first tried compiling the kernbel source and got errors; then i write
a small
hello-word program and i also got the same compilation errors.
The output is attached below.
I think that this woudl eb a package misselection i did during the
system install, but I
cannot think of which package that might be. Can anyone give me a hint
of what to
try?
Thank your very much for your help and time in advance!

You know what's fussing me the most? Why don't people face their critical theories to the people who are actually responsible for it before making it public? It's always good to make your own ideas, opinions and raise critics about something - that's the only way for improvements and going on forward, but if you are going to make your critics public to thousands or even millions of people it's very unfair and lazy not even to verify your critics when the other side won't get the chance to disprove it.

Play a bit with xvidtune and if your satisfied with one setting, then
add those to your /etc/x11/XF86Config-4. You could add one or more new
video modes to your monitor section like this:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Generic Monitor"
HorizSync 30-69
VertRefresh 50-120
Option "DPMS"
# 1024x768 @ 82 Hz, 65.18 kHz hsync
Mode "1024x768c"
DotClock85
HTimings1024 1056 1176 1304
VTimings768 772 775 795
EndMode
...
EndSection
Of course you can call the video mode(s) whatever you want, but I always
use to name it to the resolution plus "c" for "custom". Then you can use
this video mode in your display modes in the screen section:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "Generic Video Card"
Monitor "Generic Monitor"
DefaultDepth24
...
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768c" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768c" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection
Don't forget to set your default depth and that's it!

Christian

HP ProLiant DL560
Hello,
I am charged with the job of installing Debian on an HP ProLiant DL560-server. Now
this machine has a wierd SCSI-controller (Smart Array 5i plus from Compaq) which needs
the bf24 kernel in order to run. The machine also has two NC7781 NICs. These I am
having trouble with. As I understand it, a nice driver for these cards is the bmc5700
which I have gotten to compile. However when I try to insmod it (or anyone of the .o
files the compilations creates) it reports that it's written for the 2.4.18 kernel and
that I'm running 2.4.18-bf24 (which is true due to the SCSI-controller). If i insmod
-f it, it reports all sorts of horrible errors. I was hoping that someone here might
have had succes getting Debian to run decently on an HP ProLiant DL560. Any help would
be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Christian Riis

Advanced printing... continued
Hello, after some try-and-error I eventually got printing to work; cups, foomatic and xpp now work hand-in-hand. One issue left: my paper size is A4, but xpp won't let me select anything other than US Letter. Or rather, I can point at A4, do the selection, and end up with US Letter still being highlighted. This doesn't seem to be too much of a problem; at any rate, all printouts I made so far fit on my (smaller) A4 sheets. Still, it's annoying and I'd like to know how to fix it. Even more because I'd like to print envelopes now and then. cu, Schnobs -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I also had to reconfigure the printer through the cups web-frontend to make it use the changed ppd. Now it's a half-solution, A4 being the fixed paper size as Letter was before. While this will do for approx. 98% of my print jobs, I still wonder why I can't change the media format through xpp. I also changed the following .ppd line (was 'False'): *VariablePaperSize: True If this makes any difference, I didn't notice it so far. cu, Schnobs PS: apologies for my recent post coming four times.

how to set up a mix from stable/testing/etc
Hello, Woody's spamassassin (2.20) provides me with a hit rate of about 60%; partly to increase this, partly because I'm curious about that fancy Bayes filter, I'd like to have a more recent spamassassin. But how? I'm a little shy of installing tarballs -- I'm afraid this would give me trouble when eventually I want to install the .deb package. Leaves me with getting it from testing; I regularly see posts on this list where people claim to have a mixed setup from stable / testing / unstable, but I found no clue on how I could do this myself. Could someone please provide me with a few keywords for a google search, or point me directly to the appropriate documentation? cu, Schnobs -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Simple answer: The gateway is the machine on your network that is connected to the internet. Unless you have dhcp on your network, you can't 'figure out' the gateway adress. Either you know, or you dont. If in doubt, ask your Sysadmin. More complex: Learn more, read http://www.tldp.org/LDP/nag2/index.html Sorry if this doesn't really help you, but to give you a precise answer I'd need a lot more information.

aptitude and dependency handling
Hi, I'm running a woody system with backports of Gnome2 and OpenOffice. And I noticed that Aptitude has at times a strange way of handling dependencies. When browsing the packages, I regularly find unmet dependencies. Well, not exactly dependencies but packages labeled 'recommended' or 'suggested'. This although I told aptitude to 'get it all' In the first cases I noticed, there were several choices available. So I presumed that aptitude, not knowing what to do, just left it as it was. But in the mean time I've stumbled across several cases where there would be only one package to provide the recommendation/suggestion. I didn't keep notes -- but mozilla-psm was one I had to fetch manually, another case I had often was -doc. As in many cases the usability of my system increased a lot by installing them, I wonder wether there is a way to turn this off, or at least to get a list of all required/recommended/suggested packages that were not installed. Another issue while I'm at it, though not aptitude-related as I think: after installing a new package, sometimes the manpage is not available until I run mandb myself.

I recognize this answer is coming rather late... first off: you don't need a network connection to install stuff. you can just as well download a package, bring it to some removable media, and carry it to the box in question. Then "dpkg -i". Over here we call this the "sneaker network". To make this easier, there is a package called "apt-zip". Please note that you don't necessarily have to use zip disks. Any removable media will do, you can burn it to DVD or punch a paper tape. Doesn't matter. Next, I strongly suggest you build your kernel "the debian way" as has been pointed out in several posts. That's really easy. The above should enable you to install all the necessary packages. HTH, Schnobs -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Anyone remembers OS/2? I think that one important reason why it failed (among admittedly many others) is that many developers didn't see any need to write software for it. I've heard/read many times that an OS/2 version wasn't necessary as people can run the windows software almost just as well. In the end, I hardly ever booted into OS/2, because there I'd not only have to deal with the issues of Win31 software, but with the problems of running them under an alien system as well. In the same way, I wouldn't use Linux if I had to run 90% of the applications through wine. Not even if it were 'only' 20%... but as things are, Linux natively offers almost all I need, and that's why I consider it to be a good alternative. Wine is a necessary crutch, suitable to run the one or two apps that are not (yet?) available for Linux. But in my eyes it will be no solution to improve the crutch. On the contrary, having a really good wine might even be dangerous. At any rate, I think it's a strange philosphy to hope that a workaround should become the actual solution. cu, Schnobs -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Ways to send mail

Three things come to mind. How much RAM do you have, actually? I don't know the exact amount required, but 8Mb will be too little. Next possible cause would be bad floppies, but you seem to be aware of that issue. Anyway, I'd expect a read error to be reported in that case. Third, some other hardware glitch. Esp with a laptop this might well be possible. At the time the 'rescue' floppy shows you the boot prompt, you may call several screens of help by pressing the F2-F10 keys, like information about much needed boot parameters and stuff.

If not, try 'modprobe ac97_codec' for a quick fix, and have a good look the manpages of the commands: modpobe, insmod, lsmod, and rmmod.

The package they are in is called 'modutils', and if I'm not completely mistaken it needs massive tampering to install Debian without getting modutils as part of the deal. The same with the loadable kernel modules (aka device driver modules): the kernel comes together with the modules, you will find them under /lib/modules//kernel/...

Read the subject line. Well, apt-get simply is no package manager. At least not in the common sense. apt-get install is a great thing if you already know what you want, but a package manager provides a little more, UI-wise. Browsable package lists, for example. I'm quite fond of aptitude, give that one a try. Can be used like apt-get, but has also an interactive mode (ie, browser). Some say synaptic is even better, but it's an X application I've never really tried. So much for the topic at hand... in general: fear not.

Well, your mail lacks about every bit of information we might need to help you. Most likely your internet connection is a sort of ppp link (though I can't even be sure of that).

At least it should help resolving all dependencies since every dependency should be found in sources.list. - if apt/dpkg doen't work because of unresolved symbols: booting from an installer CD will get you a place from where to work. dpkg has options for giving the filesystem root.

I checked it, but it still doe not work. Maybe because of the courier-maildrop. Exim is delivering the mail to the users Maildir only when .forward file in the users home is |/usr/bin/maildrop. When removing courier-maildrop from the system the mails are delivered to /var/mail/user.

No worries. Most stuff simply works, you especially don't need to worry about CPU & Bus clock. The Hardware you should check for compatibility is: - Network interface - modem - printer - cdrecorder - graphics card For the Graphics card, just don't pick a too recent design; for printers and cdrecorders, you can check the compatibility lists on the linuxprinting and cdrecord websites. Modem & NIC are more difficult. There's a phantastillion of different designs and clones thereof and hardly any reasonable information to be found on the package. In that case I suggest you simply make clear at the time of purchase that those are meant to work under linux and that you will return them if they don't. This always worked for me -- I never had to return them. :) What else? Well, I'm not up-to-date but too big a harddisk might be a problem. If you want more than 128GB, go reading first. Also, recently I've seen several posts from people having trouble with SATA -- maybe you should avoid that too. If you want to run Win98, your memory should not exceed 512 MB. That's all I can think of right now -- though it may not be complete, I don't think I missed something important. cu, Schnobs -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

'advanced' printing
Hello, Trying to set up my printer I came to scratching my head so much that I'll be bald real soon now. The device in question is a Laserjet 2100 tn, network adaptor and additional paper tray. The problem isn't printing as such -- i had the first test page out in less than five minutes. But I'd also like to be able and chose the input tray, toner saving mode and media size, if possible on a per-job basis. I came across a package called 'gpr' that claims to do just that, but it won't work for me. Not at all -- it won't even take my ppd file. (got that file from linuxprinting.org) Another possible candidate would be 'ifhp' -- but that's for lprng, and AFAIK this would mean that I have to create my printcap file manually. I'm a little afraid of this. I'm sure it would take me the better part of a day, and I'm not at all sure that the result would come anywhere near what I want. So... any input will be appreciated. Especially if it points to something I perhaps failed to see, or offers another way of setting it up in less than four hours. cu, Schnobs -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Some particulars of my system: Say, are you talking about the installation step 'installing the base system'? I never managed to get those served through my apt-proxy, either.

I > got the error that initrd doesn't exist. According to > the message I am supposed to edit > /etc/kernel-img.conf. > But I couldn't find this file? Same thing happened to me (Debian Newbie as well) yesterday. I even removed the initrd=... entry, issued lilo command and rebooted (although I was sort of warned by the conf-script) finding that kernel 2.4 actually can't boot without this entry. Starting with a boot-floppy (glad to have it) I set the entry in lilo.config to initrd=/boot/initrd-img-2.4.16-k6 (or whatever -look in /boot/ ) did lilo, and could boot the new kernel from hd. I think the installation(configure)-script could have been a bit more helpful, it mentions the important things, but is misleading when it says 'put initrd=/initrd in your lilo.config'. As to the file /etc/kernel-img.conf: it turned up after some fiddling around (with entries I didn't put in there), so the installing script seems to use it. But I couldn' find any documentation about it. Bob Nielsen said: >If you install kernel-package, the man page and a sample file for >/etc/kernel-img.conf will be installed. Ah, OK, thats where you can get it ;-). I wanted to have the new kernel, because the es1370 module was apparently not in the standard woody kernel (idepci2.2...). With the new kernel I can make insmod es1370 and voila: sound works! (Never got that with older SuSeDistros I worked with since 1998.)
