Apache problem
I'm having a bit of trouble getting Apache to work in Woody. I can reach it from http://localhost:8080, but I can't get to it from http://:8080. I've allowed incoming connections to the web port 8080 using Guarddog, and I'm fairly positive that is okay. I've also tried port 80 before, so I'm pretty sure that isn't the problem either. Are there any other possible things that could be causing Apache to not allow a connection? I am behind a router, but I have set up port forwarding for port 8080. Is the router somehow not allowing me to route back to itself? When I type in the address bar of my browser, is it trying to find a webpage on the router instead? This doesn't make sense really, because the only IP I see is the private IP of the router. Thanks, David p.s. Please forward replies to [EMAIL PROTECTED] But if not, it doesn't matter, I'll just get it in the digest anyways. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: X with NVidia: "(EE) No devices detected"
Isaac, I had this exact same problem that you are having yesterday. It works when you install from the tarballs the first time, but after rebooting, it doesn't work anymore. Just make sure that NVdriver is in the /lib/modules/2.4.18-bf2.4/kernel/drivers/video directory, and make sure that NVdrier is there, and make sure that NVdriver is listed in your /etc/modules file. Now as long as you did the tar zxvf NVIDIA_kernel cd NVIDIA_kernel... make install cd .. tar zxvf NVIDIA_GLX... cd NVIDIA_GLX... make install cd .. dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 On the dpkg-reconfigure step, make sure to de-select the dri and GLcore drivers, and make sure glx is selected. Also, when asked if you want the dri section created for you, select "NO"! Also, just make sure you say "NO" when asked about a framebuffer. And don't forget to select "nvidia" as your driver, instead of "nv". Then check /lib/modules/2.4.18-bf2.4/kernel/drivers/video directory, and make sure that NVdriver is listed in your /etc/modules file. Having NVdriver in your /etc/modules file is basically just tells debian to run "insmod NVdriver" on boot. So if you want, just try typing insmod NVdriver right now, and see if that fixes things. Let me know if that doesn't work. -- David Grant M.A.Sc.

Mozilla add-ons
Is there a nice way to install Mozilla add-ons, like MozGest, BannerBlind, EasySearch, and EnigMail, on a Debian system? Has anyone out there created any unofficial deb packages?

A7V133 motherboard with debian 2.2r3
Hello, I have an ASUS A7V133 motherboard. I've been using Redhat 7.1 for a few months and now I am already pissed off with RPM. (First I was pissed off with the RPM system, and now I am pissed off, because the rpm program itself is causing segmentation faults. And now if I try to re-install rpm, I get some depency problems.) Anyways, it's a mess and to keep the long story short, I'm switching to Debian. I had some trouble with my ASUS A7V133 motherboard. The VIA on-board controller (vt82c686b) never worked, even with the most recent kernel (2.4.6). I got the on-board promise controller to work though (PDC20265). It works with kernel 2.4.2-2 and up. But what about the older kernels? I just ordered Debian potato 2.2r3 in the mail, and I just realized that it only has 2.2.19? or something like that, which came out on March 26th, and the 2.4.2 came out on February 21st, and I guess the redhat 2.4.2-2 version came out a little after? Anyways, I'm getting Debian in the mail in a few days, and I'm a little impatient. I want to know from experience if people have been able to get Debian potato 2.2r3 to work "out-of-the-box" with their on-board Promise chip on the A7V133. I want to read up about any tricks I might have to do in order to get my Debian to work. Oh by the way, I popped in an old Corel Linux CD as well as an old Stormix 2000 CD, which are debian-based and use a slightly older 2.4.2 kernel. I couldn't get them to even see the hard drive during install. It said I had to valid devices to install to. There must be a specific point in the kernel lifetime where this was fixed. Either that, or the bug is still around. cc: to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks, D. Grant
Promise IDE ATA-100 controller on ASUS A7V133
Hi,I have an ASUS A7V133 with PDC20265 on-board IDE as well as the standardon-board VIA controller. I am trying to install Debian potato 2.2r3. Ineed to get it to install from the on-board Promise IDE controller. I triedusing the boot: parameter with these parameters, which I retrieved fromWindows 98 device manager resources:boot: linux ide2=0xA000, 0x9802 ide3=0x9400, 0x9002but this didn't work. When it reached the first few screens in the Debianinstalled it said that I didn't have any valid devices to install to.I went to a shell and looked at /proc/pci. I looked fine as far as I know.It showed an "unknown mass storage device" and said "unknown promisedevice". It also had the same addresses which I gave above as the bootparameter.Is there anything else I need to do? I usedhttp://www.geocities.com/ender7007/ as a guide. But I need more help. Doesanyone know what I can do?Thanks,David Grant Please cc: to [EMAIL PROTECTED] as I am not subscribed to list. Thanks a lot.

Yeah the website says there are many kernels in the potato distribution. Among the most recent 2.2.19 kernels are the following: kernel-image-2.2.19-idepci 2.2.19-2 kernel-image-2.2.19pre17-idepci 2.2.19pre17-3 Weird, why'd they bother including 2.2.19pre17? So do I just install these like regular deb packages right? And then if Linux boots and sees my ide2, I'll have to update fstab with hde instead of hda. Do you know how I can get ide-pci floppies to install with? Thanks. David Grant
Re: Promise IDE ATA-100 controller on ASUS A7V133
Okay, everyone keeps telling me to use the idepci disks, which sounds like it would probably work. But on the website it says that the idepci ONLY supports IDE and PCI devices, not SCSI. I don't have any SCSI devices, but actually I do want SCSI emulation for my CD writer. But are there other limitations on these ide-pci kernels? I mean why do these even exist in the first place. If ide-pci supports the promise controller, why didn't they put this support into the main kernel as well. (Also BTW, I have a Promise on-board controller, not a PCI card).

powerbook potato install woes
In attempting to install Debian on a G3 powerbook I have encountered a number of minor problems: 1. No floppy drive. Connectivity is no problem (ethernet/external scsi/cdrom) but not having a CD or another linux system to make an image has made things difficult. Though most of the difficulties I have had could have been avoided if it weren't for: 2. cfdisk, the fdisk used by the debian installer, refuses to edit my partition table, complaining of an invalid flag. I managed to trick the installer into formating an ext2fs partition after using pdisk from macOS. unfourtunately this means: 3. No swap =+(. however, despairing yet not wanting to give in to the urge of going over to the red-hat-esque LinuxPPC (who's script architecture I find annoying), I have persisted with the debian installer. I wonder if anyone out there has tried installing the powerpc debian and if anyone has had the fdisk problems I have had. fdisk works from the installer's shell, but does not read the partition table correctly. The installer's own "display partitions" menu item does display the partitions correctly though. I find this strange. -dgc
