fileutils don't have a Debian Sig
Well I am really disappointed _big_ about my last encounter with DEBIAN: OK I had a totally screwed up System and therefore I decided to install Debian from scratch. As I could not use the Woody CD-Roms I downloaded some time ago, I figured I use my old Progeny-Debian as a start, and update this to the stable Woody. As I had a lot of stuff that I didn't want to be messed with, I decided to clean one entire HDD just to have room for Progeny Debian. Now; while the install was no problem, I figured it would be save to mount the old Debian on /DEBIAN and then I run apt-get -f dist-upgrade, oh man was I surprised when I returned to my PC to find that dpkg or apt or whatever had _cleanly_ _wiped_ my old Debian; everything that was mounted under /DEBIAN was/is gone. The only good thing is my home partition was/is on it's own partition and was left alone, as it was not mounted. I only saw a error on the command-line with the claim /DEBIAN was sort of Bug or whatever. This alone was not the biggest let-down: As I wrote above I wanted to update Progeny-Newton to Debian-Woody but in the middle of "apt-get -f dist-upgrade" the next error was even more severe: "fileutils Origin Signature check failed this deb might not be signed" And that was the end of it. Right now I use a Progeny-Newton that was not yet updated. Hopefully someone can shed a light on this, as I need to finish the installation.

Re: debian-xemacs-version: Symbols' value as variable is void
Now, just in case _some-one_ does read this: As no answer was given here, I figured to download and install Xemacs compiled for my box. Got me xemacs-21.4.9, but configure finished with a error just as well ( /lib-src/DOC no such file..) Searched of course on google but didn't find a clue either. So I went ahead and pointed my /etc/apt/sources.list to _testing_ and got me (as IRC that version was working fine on my previous install) xemacs from there. Well this solved the problem. Still would like to know: Why the hell compile finished with the same error even after I compiled another DOC file into lib-src.. Why does the version in _testing_ work without a problem while stable gives me the error mentioned in the subject-line?

Well I got it working, I removed the xemacs I pulled from the net, used a script, yes this part worked, wrote a script with all the options I wanted made it executable, run it. With "checkinstall" installed xemacs-21.4.9.

Don't know, actually until now I used to compile a new version of Xemacs, while the old one was still in place, as I found no hint in the installation or other README's to remove a older version, if one is installed. Most of the time I did not run into problems, once I got rid of Mandrake because I didn't know what else to do :-) Btw, in my other reply to you (Thanks Glyn :-) ) I mentioned a odd behavior with a horizontal tool-bar.

HPT370 and other errors :-(
Hi :-) This is the problem: Installation on a mixture of Woody and sid :-( I installed a IDE Controller Card with HPT370 chip from http://www.highpoint-tech.com sold as Davicontrol DC-100 Raid My PC: Hardware: Bios Version: ASUS P5A-B ACPI BIOS Revision 1010 02/24/00-ALADDIN5-PA5A-B-00 If it matters: CPU: AMD-k6 (tm)-2/450 3 Hard Disk one IBM-DTLA-305020 UMDA=5 20 GB one Maxtor 2B020H1 UMDA=5 20 GB one IBM-DTTA-351010 UMDA=2 10 GB (those UMDA setting were suggested from the Bios of the Controller Card) One Phillips CD-RW Since this Card works under Win98 and Caldera 2.4 eDesktop with a kernel provided from Highpoint fine, I figured why should it not do so in Debian? Now after the installation of the Card the original Kernel ( 2.2.19) did not boot the system anymore ( Kernel-panic) ( of course just copying hpt370.o from the Caldera installation to Debian didn't do the trick). I tried to solve the problem by installing a kernel I got from: http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-i386/current/udma100-ext3/ plainly called _linux_ Instead of installing it with dpkg -i ( since this Kernel did not have the ending .deb) I just copied it into /boot/ as vmlinuz-test1 and changed the /boot/grub/menu.lst to reflect this change. so after the reboot I got a error message that no umda100-xt3 modules could be found and /init.d/rc.2 or so could also not be found I was only able to log on as root... and hit the reset-button since I could not reboot argh!! :-( so then I got me the kernel-image-2.2.19-ide using this time the command # dpkg -i kernel-image-2.2.19.ide there were _NO_ error messages, so I figured that it installed okay, but to my surprise, there were again error messages, this time no /lib/modules/2.2.19-ide can't be found, _even_ though there are _there_ ??? Of course I am on the end of my ropes, vacation time is finished as well, and my Debian box can't be used ( for such occasions I installed Caldera :-)) So how can I solve this problem? Don`t even know where to search for the answer..

Maybe slightly different > kernel "name"? Well being a newbie :-) I overlooked that in the same directory where I got the kernel named _linux_ from, there is/was also a file called _drivers.tgz_ Now I got it, unpacked, installed the drivers and the error-message about missing modules are gone :-) But still there is one more Problem and this is really nasty since I can't shutdown the PC with # shutdown -h now.

/etc/init.d/rc.2 command not found....
HI:-) The Problem I run into after I installed a HPT370 driven Card, details can be found in my other post (HPT370 and other problems), I had to install a new Kernel with umda-100 patched with A. Hedrick, I got that Kernel and installed it without installing the drivers.. Only later did I install those drivers.. The Problem now is that, during boot up I get a error-message /etc/init.d/rc.2 Command not found and I can only login as root, and than the next Message: Boot-process still running please wait Being a newbie I don't even know where to look for an answer... Can some kind soul please give me some hints, since I really loved Debian (just realized why I switched from Caldera 2.4 eDesktop still using it as my backup OS) to Debian:-) Thanks :-) -- LinuxUser aka Josef Oswald [EMAIL PROTECTED] registered-linux-user # 134.818 at http://counter.li.org The box said Windows, NT or better, so I installed Linux :-)

Yeah :-) Now I can boot up normally but since I installed the modules /lib/modules/2.2.19-umda-ext3, I get a lot of errors, missing modules and such :-( The other kernel is full of _panic_ ( You know what I mean?) Now I downloaded a kernel (not from Debian) in the /Drivers/ide section I do find a hpt266.o but during the compilation I can't find the proper place to include it > > Mike. -- LinuxUser aka Josef Oswald [EMAIL PROTECTED] registered-linux-user # 134.818 at http://counter.li.org The box said Windows, NT or better, so I installed Linux :-)
/etc/init.d/rc :2 and HPT370 ( The second) Thanks :-)
Now after I compiled a new kernel ( 2.4.16) I found that the kernel Module for hpt370 is not in Block-devices (as someone on the Net suggested)but it is in IDE/ATI/MFM/RLL section -> Enhanced /IDE/MFM/RLL disc/cdrom/ etc. So :-) Finally the good trusty Debian runs now :-) -- LinuxUser aka Josef Oswald [EMAIL PROTECTED] registered-linux-user # 134.818 at http://counter.li.org The box said Windows, NT or better, so I installed Linux :-)
Logwatch anyone using it on Debian?
Hi:-) On my RPM-based box I used a tool called Logwatch I got from ftp://ftp:kaybee.org/pub/linux now under Debian ( really me just being a newbie to linux) I don't know how to install it I used # perl logwatch.pl but prints a error: sh /bin/mail file not found, could it be this because Debian uses postfix to fetch and send mail I searched the user-mailinglist archive but I could not find something, also is there a post-installation site for newbies like myself, where I can find mor infos on how to install other stuff? thanks :-) -- LinuxUser aka Josef Oswald [EMAIL PROTECTED] registered-linux-user # 134.818 at http://counter.li.org The box said Windows, NT or better, so I installed Linux :-)

Moving parts of the existing Linux Installation to another HDD
Hi:-) Since moving to Debian, I really wanted to get the most out of my system, f.e 3 HDD on a controller card. One wish was to move parts of the Installation to the other faster HDD.

.Xdefaults or .Xsession ( Test-post)

Maybe you _need_ to compile a new kernel after all? With the 2.6.x kernel it's not complicated anymore. most likely you also need to install alsa-base ( some tools like alsamixer and to store the settings alsactl are also very helpfull.)

Trying to run apt-get Well you will certainly run into problems here, as for one the NIC's all have different MAC Addresses like : eth0 Protocol:Ethernet Hardware Address 00:00:CB:62:8B:E7 eth1 Protocol:Ethernet Hardware Address 00:00:CB:70:4A:B1 So your ISP will allow only one to get trough, unless you have a router that is connected to the net.

Now I copied more fonts into /usr/share/fonts/MS-truetype
"man defoma-hints" told me that it would a create a new hints-file,
but
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:# defoma-hints MS-truetype.hints
/usr/share/fonts/MS-truetype/ *.ttf > MS-truetype.hints
gives out this error:
defoma-hints Can't locate FreeType.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl
/usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.4 /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.4 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5
/usr/lib/perl/5.8 /usr/share/perl/5.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at (eval 3) line 2.
\n
So thats the end of trying to generate a new hintsfile,
now the relevant file in /usr/share/defoma/libhint-truetype.pl starts
with:
my @ENCODING;
my @ID_LANG;
my %ID_Region;
BEGIN {
eval ("use FreeType");
exitfunc(255, "libft-perl is needed.") if ($@ ne '');
@ENCODING = qw(Symbol Unicode ShiftJIS GB2312 BIG5 WanSung Johab);
@ID_LANG =
I thought that changing "FreeType" to "TrueType" would solve the problem,
but it did not.

Since I saw the same messages some time ago on this box here too I had
to gooogle for some answers too.
I found out that in my case I was trying to mount a badly burned CD,
dunno if this is the case here too, have you tried different CD's?
one of the results of my search I kept, dunno if it helps :-(

Thanks for your help guys / solved partially? Re: ARRGH defoma-hints also not working :-/
Well thanks for _all_ suggestions :-)
OK I found _part_ of the solution somewhere else I had to to install
# apt-get install libft-perl libttf2
after that I had to do this:
defoma-hints --no-question truetype /path/to/fonts/*.ttf
>/etc/defoma/hints/your.hints
--no-question this turns off any questions defoma-hints would ask.
defoma-font register-all /etc/defoma/hints/your.hints
most likely I will need to start defoma but I am not sure, so after the
next reboot I will see if this solved the whole font-mess here.
And no I don't reboot because I want to check defoma, my pc is in my
sleeping-room and too noisy to leave it running while sleeping :-)
Who know if this helps another _poor_ soul to add new fonts to defoma,
most hits on gooogle were just cries for help :-/

SLRN random-sig files, found this but stilll
looking to set up random sig with SLRN I found this link:
http://lists.infodrom.org/debian-user-de/2001/03/att-0026/01-slrn-random-sig
At the end it says one need to create for each quote a single file, my
question is:
what name can I use and or does this scrip just take any files it finds
and uses them as signatures?
Thanks

Nun musst Du noch in ~/.Sig/ die Signaturen anlegen: Jede in

ICEWM-Configuration
Sorry if I need to ask this question here, after spending a couple of hours ( trial and error approach) to start IceWM with 4 Program's on 4 different workspaces without much luck I turn to this newsgroup for help :-( this is at the very end of .icewm/winoptions file: xemacs-21.4.6-mule.workspace:0 # starts on WSP1 Worker.workspace:1 <-this too works mozilla-bin.Mozilla-bin.workspace:2 #gqview.workspace:3 Gqview.workspace:3 # starts on W-sp one #/usr/bin/gqview.workspace:3 #/usr/bin/Gqview.workspace: 3 Xterm.workspace:4 #xterm.workspace:4 #Gimp.workspace:5 As can be seen I tried it with Path set, no Path, first letter small or big, all have the same effect, they are all started at Work-space one, and I need to move them by hand to their assigned workspaces. In order for those program's to start, I had to set in Gnome the Program's to start. I would like to disable Gnome to startup, but without Gnome, I have to start all program's by hand. I know maybe I should have tried a Linux-distribution that is more newbie-friendly, but after fooling around with Caldera 2.4 and Mandrake and a early Suse 6.4 I figured I should give Debian a try, now I have spend quite a lot of time to set this Distro up, and just because of ICEWM I don't want to change again. Also do I need to set something else in .icewm/preferences too? -- LinuxUser aka Josef Oswald [EMAIL PROTECTED] registered-linux-user # 134.818 at http://counter.li.org The box said Windows, NT or better, so I installed Linux :-) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Yes, as well as the user "oswald" But now I understand, apparently this means as long as root, or a user who is allowed to shutdown another person who does not have this privilege can also shutdown the pc. This is what just happened, I tried it, root and "oswald" were logged out, and this time I got the error.

Hi:-) for starters look at http://home.wanadoo.nl/whatdoya/sblive/#bookmark1 Most likely you need a kernel-rebuild ( 2.4.X) can't remember if I ever got my sound-blaster Live 5.1 under 2.2.18 going, so I am not sure, but you can just check by cding into /usr/src/linux and do xconfig then you will see in sound if sound-blaster is there ( emu10k or so) as for the hookup, are there no /symbols/ on the metal-strip, they usually tell how one can connect any speakers (and other stuff) to the card. a visit to the sound-blaster homepage where you could get the specifications of your card might be another approach. > > Thanks everyone, > David Bellows hth :-) -- LinuxUser aka Josef Oswald [EMAIL PROTECTED] registered-linux-user # 134.818 at http://counter.li.org The box said Windows, NT or better, so I installed Linux :-) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

low latency kernel
Hi:-) At this I use Kernel 2.4.18 with a 450MHZ CPU AMD-K3 <- I know it's /ancient/ these days :-) Now what I 'd like to know: do the newer Kernels still need the low-latency patch or not? As I did find 2-4.18-cr1-low-latency-patch I just would like to be sure, can I apply this patch to a Debian-kernel? Or is this no longer necessary?

wxGTK error (Audacity)
Well, can't help it I have to ask this question here, as I can't find a solution... I need to install wxGTK for audacity. The problem with audacity is that when I want to save a file, I can't see the text I type. When I mark the commando-line in Audacity I can see the text. I installed audacity the Debian way: apt-get install audacity. since the above problem is rather annoying I went ahead and installed a new version of GTK+-2.0.2 in /my/path/ to install the necessary packages I set: CPPFLAGS="-I/my/path/include" LDFLAGS="-L/my/path/lib" PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/my/path/lib/pkgconfig" export CPPFLAGS LDFLAGS PKG_CONFIG_PATH as well as: LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/my/path/lib" PATH="/my/path/bin:$PATH" export LD_LIBRARY_PATH PATH now the only package that gives me a hard time is wxGTK-2-2.7 gtk-config --libs still points to: -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lgtk -lgdk -rdynamic -lgmodule -lglib -ldl -lXext -lX11 -lm instead to /my/path according to wxGTK README * The most simple errors configure reports, that you don't have GTK 1.2 installed although you are very sure you have. Well, you have installed it, but you also have another version of the GTK installed, which you may need to remove including other versions of glib (and its headers). Also, look for the PATH variable and check if it includes the path to the correct gtk-config! The check your LDPATH if it points to the correct library. There is no way to compile wxGTK if configure doesn't pass this test as all this test does is compile and link a GTK program. Now I removed all glib gtk directorys I fond in /user/local/lib (where should the headers be I have also no clue) next in /etc/ld.so.conf I commented out /usr/local/lib and included /my/path so I am at a loss now what i should do next.... any pointers are appreciated. thanks :-) -- LinuxUser aka Josef Oswald [EMAIL PROTECTED] registered-linux-user # 134.818 at http://counter.li.org The box said Windows, NT or better, so I installed Linux :-) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
