cdrecord error
I'm trying to use cdrecord with a new ide cdrw. I went through the ide-scsi howto I found and I now get the following lines in dmesg, and I can mount the drive as /dev/sr0. --dmesg SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00 scsi0 : SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices Vendor: OPTORITE Model: CD-RW CW4802 Rev: 150E Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 --dmesg But when I try to run "cdrecord -scanbus" as root, I get: cdrecord: Read-only file system. Cannot open '/dev/pg0'. Cannot open SCSI driver. cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are root. cdrecord: For possible transport specifiers try 'cdrecord dev=help'. On my other box with the dead scsi cd burner, I notice it opens /dev/sg0 and in the dev=help option, I noticed that pg is related to parallel port burners. Is cdrecord trying to read a parallel port drive? If so how can I get it to change? Thanks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

faster boot sequence
I've started a project http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/oggcastd/ to play Ogg Vorbis and MP3 files in my car. The box I use boots automatically when it gets power, but it still takes almost 30s after I turn the key to get sound. How can I speed up the boot process? I'm using a fairly minimal Sid install with a 2.4.19 custom kernel and ext3 (for the instant power downs). All I ever really need is the kernel, a serial port, basic I/O, and an ethernet connection (which I think I'll take out of rc2.d and add as a menu option). Any ideas would be appreciated.

mounting file systems without fsck
I'm setting up a car computer that will be shut down by powering off, and need to keep fsck from running at reboot. I tried doing a remount-ro, but now it spits out lots of errors and doesn't even get to a login prompt. I need to be able to write to the /tmp partition though. How can I do this?

xf86 4.0.2
I just started using debian (I've been using Redhat for years), and I'm having trouble with my X-Window system. I installed the 4.0.2 packages from woody, but noticed that xserver-svga is still 3.3.6 and xserver-common is installed as both 4.0.2 and 3.3.6. When I run startx with the 3.3.6 XF86Config in place, the server works fine, but when I try it with the 4.0.2 config file in place I get error messages about the file's format. How can I get it to run X v4.0.2? thanks, Jason
mpg123
When I try to play mp3s using mpg123 I get no sound, and it doesn't update the progress from the -v flag. I can play audio just fine using xmms and the esd plugin. I tried running as root and nothing changed, so it's not a permission issue. I tried using sndconfig to configure the card, but it couldn't identify the card (it works under RedHat).

Re: Access & Permissions
To create a group webdev (or whatever...I'd suggest against dev, because it can get confused with the /dev directory) do this: groupadd To add the users to it: usermod -G ,... You must specify all of the groups that the user belongs to at the time as well as the new group. To change the /var/www directory to allow them to write to it: chgrp -R /var/www chmod -R g+rw /var/www find /var/www -type d |xargs chmod g+x You might not need the last one if your directories already have group execute permissions. Users can (by default with debian) create a directory /home//public_html that will be available to apache as http:///~/ See the apache documentation sections on 'UserDir' for information about this and the section on 'Directory' for information about how to change what a user may and may not do with this personal site. Hope this helps. The o'reilly book on apache admining is a really good place to find out more about this, but I wouldn't bother if you're just doing a web-site for a few friends.

Re: Installing Netscape 4 on 2.2r2
The apt-get install communicator is the right way, but you need
deb ftp://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main non-free
in your /etc/apt/sources.list.
Then to run it you have to run communicator (running netscape gets you mozilla).
And if you run communicator while mozilla is running, you get a new mozilla
window instead (it uses /etc/alternatives/communicator instead of running it
directly).

Re: Really easy FTP question
Look in /etc/inetd.conf for a line like this: ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/wu-ftpd -l If it's commented, uncomment it then run /etc/init.d/inetd restart You should have an ftp server. If that line wasn't commented, then your inetd isn't running. To enable it make sure it it's in the /etc/rcX.d/ directory for your runlevel. Determine your runlevel from grep initdefault /etc/inittab # (it's the number after the first colon). then if there's not a symlink from /etc/rcX.d/S20inetd to ../init.d/inetd make one.

Re: Cc: ing to debian-user when replying to a question
I'm guessing it depends on your mail app. I use mutt and unless I actively CC: the list, it only goes to the author of the original message. But some mail apps will automatically put the incoming CC: addresses into the reply's CC:. The fact that you're subscribed to the mailing list doesn't matter when you respond. Your mail client doesn't care about lists, it cares about the addresses in the fields. If you changed your To: to be the list address, then it would forward the message to the rest of us, but if you just send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], it has no way of knowing to copy it to the list. You should get two copies of this mail, one directly mailed to you and one redirected by the list server.

Re: ftp://ftp.kando.hu/pub/CDROM-Images/debian-unofficial/
If you have the unstable source above the stable one in sources.list, it will look there first. Then run apt-get update and apt-get install . If you're not sure of the name of the package, use an X-based apt front end like gnome-apt or the one for KDE (don't know the name), or look at the packages list at debian.org.

Re: Linux wannabe
If you give RedHat a try you'll just have that inertia keeping you from moving to debian. I just came from RedHat, trust me, you want to start here if you can. Go to http://www.debian.org/doc/ and read the installation guide. If it says things you don't understand, then you might have some problems. But I think it's worth learning just to get apt (the coolest software install utility I've ever seen!). If you don't think you can do it, check out http://www.linux.org/users/index.html and find your local Linux Users Group. Many have install fests where they'll put whatever you want on your box for free. And if they don't have one coming you can go to the next meeting and get tips from them or even get one to help you one weekend or something...or if your computer is easily moved, you could take it in.

Parallel port for rio
I'm trying to set up the rio parallel port software. I did modprobe parport_pc; modprobe parport_probe and have the three parallel port modules loaded now, but I still don't have an entry in my /proc/ioports for the parallel port. What do I need to do to get the parallel port functioning? And how can I have the modules load automatically at boot? Just add the lines to /etc/modules ? Thanks --Jason
Re: netscape won't reinstall
You should have /usr/bin/X11/communicator, which is a symlink to /etc/alternatives/communicator, which is a script that will run netscape or mozilla depending on the situation. I just discovered that this morning and haven't had the time to dig thru to find the binary to run for netscape, but running /usr/bin/X11/communicator, without mozilla up at the time, should give you netscape 4.76.

Re: prompt at startup
On your lilo prompt enter "linux 2" assuming the label for your preferred kernel is linux and the runlevel for console is 2. Unless you've changed these, these values will work. I don't know if the default lilo setup will allow you to select like this. You might have to enable it by editing /etc/lilo.conf and uncommenting the lines for 'prompt', 'delay', and 'timeout'. If you modify that file you need to run /sbin/lilo to implement the changes. That should do ya.

Re: /etc/rc.d/rc.local under Debian?
Create a file /etc/init.d/start_network (or whatever). Put your network stuff in there, chmod 700 it, and symlink it into the dir /etc/rcX.d/ (where X is your default runlevel--2 for console start), under a name like "S20start_network". If you want an rc.local (I haven't seen anything like that on Debian), you can make one in a similar way, just change the names appropriately and make it an S99 symlink. But you probably want network to come up fast (at S20 or so) because other things require it. But if you have your box set up properly, your network should start automatically from one of the scripts already there.

Debian is less user-friendly (meaning it won't try to make decisions for you and screw things up). Debian has a far better upgrade/update/install program/service (apt). Debian is way cooler for the do-it-yourself types. (And other users will think you're cooler if you say you use Debian, than if you say you use Mandrake.) Debian is entirely RMS approved software (unless you get stuff from non-free). Debian doesn't charge you to use its upgrade/update utility, like RH does now. Debian is a bit slower to put newer things (like kernel 2.4 and X 4.0) out in the stable release. > > Thanks a lot... > > --Shannon > > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Is /etc/X11/X a symbolic link to the correct Xserver? I'd suggest trying X 4.0.2, which you can get from the unstable and testing dists. It's more likely to support your card.

Do you have font directories setup in /etc/X11/XF86Config (or XF86Config-4 for X 4.x)? Are there fonts in these directories? Which Xserver are you running? I'd guess 3.3.6 unless you setup 4.x by hand. Try upgrading to 4.x it supports more cards, and I'm not sure if the v3 is supported by 3.3.6 (plus 4.x is just sooo much better). You can see the exact output of your XServer in /var/log/XFree86.?.log cat the errors from that to the end of your next mail.

Re: imlib
Install the gdk-imlib-dev package to get that header. Out of curiosity, why are you installing these from source into local? I think the best thing about debian is apt, so I do whatever I can to use it to get packages instead of doing a local build install. You can get most (if not all) of the newer stuff you want from unstable or testing if you're willing to risk a very unlikely crash.

exim and fetchmail
I just replaced sendmail with exim on a satellite box on my system. It's also
my main workstation. I run fetchmail on it to fetch from my mail server, but
as soon as fetchmail fetches, exim forwards it back to the smart host.
Is there someway for me to have exim not forward the fetched mail? Or does any
body know a better way to have mutt get the mail of the server?
Thanks,
Jason

asus a7v-e mobo and debian
I'm getting an asus a7v-e (with the VIA Apollo KT133 which has the VIA VT8363 UDMA controller). I'd like to know if anybody on the list has any experience with getting one of these chips to communicate with Linux. I have kernel 2.2.19 but did not see any options for this chip specifically. Will I have to upgrade to 2.4? Or can I get it to run at UDMA100 or even just at UDMA33 on a 2.2 kernel? 33MBps is more than enough throughput for the 20MBps hard drive I have (everything else is on a SCSI card). Thanks, Jason

Re: apt-get errors
I did just manage to get the apt-get update to run successfully, but now I have MD5Sum mismatch errors on all the packages I downloaded from ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main. It's only this box that has this problem though...so I think it has to be something to do with the versions of software on it.

Re: How to update/upgrade libc6?
Assuming you have testing or unstable (wherever it is) in your /etc/apt/sources.list, a simple "apt-get install libc6 libc6-dev" should do the trick. I didn't have any problems doing that. Of course you might get into dependency problems and have other packages that need to be upgraded to support the new libc. There are a few packages it replaces or conflicts with...mostly old libraries and compilers. Best of luck to you. On Mon, Jul 30, 2001 at 12:35:07PM -0700, Joern T.

Re: lilo does not work!
Did your rerun lilo after editing lilo.conf? Even if the kernel you just compiled is corrupted or has a driver problem, lilo should still come up. You'd just see a kernel panic or other error when booting that kernel. When I see something like what you saw it's because I forgot to rerun lilo.

Re: lilo does not work!
And no lilo errors when you ran it? Strange... After booting from your floppy, maybe upgrading lilo (or reconfiguring it) will make it start working again. That's mostly a guess though.

Help! I can't choose my network card in the kernel build options.
I'm trying to rebuild my kernel, and my network card does not come up as an option. The network card is an rtl8139. I have the options for 3COM, AMD Lance, and WD cards, but the RealTek option is grayed out. I enabled TCP/IP networking. The last box I had this card in had a vanilla kernel, so I just used the included module. Am I missing a required option? Is there a way for me to force it to create the module? Thanks, Jason
ssh refuses connections
I have four machines: a firewall, an internal server, and two workstations. When I try an SSH connection from the firewall to the server, or from outside the firewall using its port forwarding to go to the server, I get the error: ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host I can connect just fine from the two workstations to the server, the server to the workstations, or any of the internal boxes to the firewall. The only changes that I've made since it last worked were the installation of NIS on the server (which has since been removed), and some NFS changes. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Jason
Re: ssh refuses connections
No. I don't think the firewall is the problem. I have problems connecting through that box as well as from that box.

Re: ssh refuses connections
The box I'm trying to connect from is 192.168.1.1. And I don't think these files affect sshd.

Re: Sound cards & Linux?
Most SB compatibles mean the SB16 'standard'. You need to add the lines soundcore sb to /etc/modules to get it to load at boot. and run "insmod soundcore" and "insmod sb" to get it to run now.

Re: SoundBlaster Live not recognized!
To get my SBLive to work I had to compile a special kernel. I didn't see it in 2.2.17, so I got 2.2.19 (2.4.x would work too if you have that). On the soundcard page of the kernel config, look for soundblaster live, it will build an emu10k1.o module for you. If you don't know how to rebuild the kernel, read this: http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO.html On Wed, Aug 22, 2001 at 07:07:38PM -0500, Juan Antonio scribbled... > Live Card.

Re: IRQs
What is it? Brand, chipset, bus type, etc? If it's a PCI you shouldn't have to specify anything, due to the inherint magic of the PCI bus. If it's ISA, I wouldn't know, I don't have any ISA slots.

mutt and an nfs mounted home directory
I have an nfs mounted home directory where the user and group ids match. I can write in the ~/.mutt directory and even edit my inbox and sentbox on the client, but when I run mutt on the client machine, it tells me that the mailbox is read only. Is there a setting in mutt I can change to make it use the file permissions to decide whether to write or not? Thanks, Jason
Re: Kernel for AMD Thunderbird
I'm running this on an Asus A7V-E and a TBird 1.2GHZ, so I can say this with some authority. Choose the most advanced option you can. On my 2.2.19 kernel I chose PPro/6x86MX, because the Athlon has all the special registers and optimizations of the i686, and then some. Don't, as someone suggested, choose K6, because you'd be limiting yourself. I hear that 2.4 has an Athlon option, but I'm not sure how well it works, I read some bad things about it on this list yesterday. (Look for athlon in yesterday's mail archive). But you can always try it, then go to another kernel if it has problems.

ssh and X forwarding
I recently upgraded my boxes at home to the latest ssh from sid. Before the upgrade, I'd have the DISPLAY variable set to $HOSTNAME:10.0 and be able to run X apps across the connection. My box at work does not have this problem. I've diffed the ssh_config and sshd_config files for the two boxes and don't see anything that might cause this problem.

How do I get it to run the kernel server instead of the daemon? I have the packages nfs-common, nfs-kernel-server, and nfs-server. I have nfs compiled into my kernel. I have nfs-kernel-server, and nfs-server in /etc/init.d. I also have S19nfs-common, S20nfs-kernel-server, and S25nfs-server in /etc/rc2.d. How do I switch it to use the kernel version? apt-get remove nfs-server? or would removing the S* links in rc2.d do the job? Or something else entirely? Thanks --Jason
Re: Switching to kernel nfs (was: mutt and an nfs mounted home directory)
I have the kernel server up, but now it won't export my directories. I have lines like: /usr/local/oggs 192.168.1.2(ro) 192.168.1.4(ro) 192.168.1.1(ro) /home 192.168.1.2(rw, no_root_squash) 192.168.1.4(rw) in my /etc/exports file. When I (re)start nfs-kernel-server I get: Exporting directories for NFS kernel daemon...exportfs: syntax error in exports file (line 7): bad option list But /etc/exports is only five lines, including all comments. When I remove the no_root_squash option, it says it starts, but I get mount: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = Connection refused on the client and /var/lib/nfs/xtab is empty.

Re: Switching to kernel nfs (was: mutt and an nfs mounted home directory)
And the winner of this year's Dumbass award is...ME. I was testing the mountability (is that a word?) of the nfs served directories on my firewall, because I turn the workstation off when I'm not using it (like now when I'm at "work"). The firewall doesn't have nfs-common installed. I tested it mounting under /tmp on the fileserver, and could mount. Thanks to all for the info about knfsd and the file locks especially Dave Sherohman. Incidentally, someone told me that ps would list knfsd, but I still see nfsd.
[jason@whizzird.net: Re: Network configuration]
You don't need an rc.local script. If you look in /etc/rc2.d/ you'll see lots of S scripts. These are the scripts that get run when you start the system. The 'S' is for "Start" (I guess), and there are "K" scripts for "Kill" in other related directories. The number is the order in which it will run 00 is first, 99 is last. These files are symbolic links to files in the /etc/init.d/ directory. There are two files that would be in your /etc/init.d if you installed the networking and apache packages (which you should, the package management is debian's best feature): networking and apache. If they're not there, make up your own and symlink them to /etc/rc2.d. Or if you install the packages ifupdown, net-tools, and netbase (which you might have), you'll have the networking script built for you, and you just add your settings to the /etc/network/interfaces file. If you do build your own, it's best to put one set of related startup commands in one file, so you can bring that daemon up or down, without interfering with others.

Re: OT: Looking for 10/100 ISA NIC's for Linux project
I'm guessing it should be PCI...and I hope so, because I've never seen an ISA card that can do 100Mbps, and don't think the ISA bus could saturate that card. It's not that fast. If you're looking for really cheap, and not worried if your achieved thruput is only 80 or 90Mbps, just go to your local Mom-n-Pop computer store and buy their $20 10/100 card, most use the rtl8139 or tulip modules, which I've found to be very reliable and fast. My 3c905B is only a tad faster. The place where you want to make sure you get the best is your switch (not a hub!). On Thu, Aug 23, 2001 at 08:45:31PM -0500, Rich Puhek scribbled... > Gack! $70?

DISPLAY and multiple ssh connections
When I have multiple ssh connections to a server, it increments the offset for the DISPLAY by one for each connection. When connecting through my firewall using: /usr/sbin/ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L $IP_REAL 22 -R $MAGNETO 22 the second and following connections cannot connect to the display. Anybody know why? Part Two: This wouldn't bother me too much, but the app that complains is vim. Not the gui version, the console version. I have version 5.8.007-4 installed of vim-rt and vim-gtk. I can't install just vim, because it conflicts with vim-gtk, which for the most part provides the console version. Is this a vim bug, or some special feature I'm unaware of? Thanks, Jason

Re: vmware: can't ping host
I run VMWare here at work on Debian. I set up my networking as Bridged. I don't remember exactly, but I think Host Only won't let you out to the network. Try bridged mode and see if you can connect out from your VM. And make sure you have win98's networking installed correctly (but you probably do). If you're still having trouble, tell me and I'll kill my VM-NT session and look at the setting in detail. (Can't see them while it's running).

Re: using cd is shell script

It does not affect the environment of the shell. You can change this by using "." or 'source'. If you typed: $ . go-bin (assuming go-bin contains "cd /usr/local/bin"), your directory would change. You can combine this with an alias. Name your script "chdir-bin", then in your .bashrc put: alias go-bin=". $HOME/scripts/chdir-bin" # Or wherever you keep it. Then you just type "go-bin" at the shell, and bingo! You can also have these scripts accept parameters to give you greater flexibility.
Samba Serving
I'm trying to share directories through samba. I have the workgroup and server set correctly, because I can see the server in the network neighborhood on the win98 client. But it will not allow access. I used to change the windoze box to use plain text passwords...but since linuxtopia no longer exists, I can't get to the learnto that said how to do that. I'm going from the smb.conf in an install of 2.2.1a-6, with these modifications: [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = yes read only = no create mask = 0755 directory mask = 0755 [oggs] comment = oggs on magneto writable = no locking = no path = /usr/local/oggs public = yes Does anyone have any idea how I can get these shared? The first one isn't much of a big deal to me, but sharing the oggs is. Thanks, Jason
Moving /var
I currently have /var on hdc, but want to move it to sda. I've tried mounting the new partition as var2, copying the files, changing fstab, then rebooting, but lots of programs complain. I'd guess it has something to do with the state of var at the time of the copy, vs at the time of shutdown/boot. That method works well for home, usr, etc. Is there a good way to do this for var? other than reinstalling? Thanks. Jason
ipmasqadm portfw and apache
I'd like to forward all requests on port 80 thru my firewall, however, I use VirtualHosts under apache. Is there a way to forward the port with the desired host name? Or can I do it based on the hostname desired? (eg forward a request to www.foo.com to port 81 and a request to www.bar.com to 82). Thanks, Jason

When I forwarded to the internal box, all requests were served by the default html/ directory, not the virtual host matching the url I typed.

When I add a second "NameVirtualHost foo" and "", I get the warning from apache "[warn] NameVirtualHost tmr.whizzird.net:80 has no VirtualHosts", so I'd guess that there's something in the order of the httpd.conf. When this happens the special hosts entry I created goes back to the default page for the server, but when there's only one VirtualHost, that hosts entry goes to the VirtualHost. I get the same warnings on the firewall, but virtual hosting works fine. Does anybody have experience with multiple VirtualHost entries? Or know the correct format? I'm doing: NameVirtualHost domainone NameVirtualHost domaintwo NameVirtualHost domainthree ... ... ... Thanks, Jason

I feel kinda dumb...for those who'd like to know how to do it: NameVirtualHost 1.2.3.4 # MUST BE AN IP!

Creating mutt mailbox aliases
How can I create a mailbox alias for mutt? To get to my debian-user mailbox I have to type "c=de" and I'm too lazy for that. (But not too lazy to look for the answer...I just can't find it :). thanks, Jason
Mutt is skipping some lines of the message
Sometimes I get a message and notice that mutt has decided that the first few lines of the message are part of the header. It doesn't happen every time though. Is any one else experiencing this?

Fatal. I'd guess something's wrong in the alsa library. I'd suggest replying to the list, not to individuals, so everyone can see your problem. There are people who know a lot more about it than I do. When you respond list the versions of all your sound stuff. "dpkg -l|grep esound; dpkg -l|grep alsa" Incidentally...can you play sound or load esound as root? If so it's a device permission issue.

FTP is wu-ftpd. Telnet is telnetd. There's also a telnetd-ssl(?), that is more secure. Be very careful with them...they're not secure communication. SSH is a better choice (don't know if its an option tho).
procmail conditions
Is there a way to OR procmail conditions?
I have lots of lines like so:
:0
* (^From:.*Reel\.com)
/dev/null
:0
* (^From:.*sonypictures\.com)
/dev/null
and I'd like to make them more like this:
:0
* (^From:.*Reel\.com) OR
* (^From:.*sonypictures\.com)
/dev/null
I tried to DeMorganize them like:
* ! {
* ! (^From:.*Reel\.com)
* ! (^From:.*sonypictures\.com)
}
But that doesn't work.
And ideas?
Thanks,
Jason

Trying to put the 20+ /dev/nulls I have into this format would be a headache...and would introduce errors if the Subject I don't want for one condition matches the From I don't want in another.

When the mouse disappears you can switch to a console (Ctrl-Alt-F2) then back (Alt-F7) and the mouse comes back. This is especially useful if the cursor stops responding comletely. I think we're just stuck until nVidia writes a good driver or releases the code so the XFree86 guys can fix it.
