Problem with ALSA on Toshiba S5200-902 - Can't play Enemy Territory ;-(

2003-10-29 Thread Mariano Kamp
Hi,

  I am using Kernel 2.4.22 with ALSA. Alsa is working fine so far with KDE, 
but it can't get it working with enemy territory.

  I get the following error message (from et console output):

[..]
--- sound initialization ---
/dev/dsp: Input/output error
Could not mmap /dev/dsp

Sound memory manager started
[..]

  I really don't know where to look for. My googling hasn't turned up anything 
meaningful to me yet.

This is my card:

00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801CA/CAM AC'97 Audio 
Controller (rev 02)
Subsystem: Toshiba America Info Systems: Unknown device 0002

Q: Why is linux-wlan-ng not an ordinary part of the kernel?

2003-10-29 Thread Mariano Kamp
Hi,
 
  I believe to have a prism wlan card in my notebook and while digging around 
what to do I came to the conclusion that I need a module, which is in 
linx-wlan-ng?!

  It is a kernel module and part of the official debian distro, isn't it? My 
expectation had been to see this turn up in menuconfig, but it doesn't. There 
also isn't a precompiled module for the current 2.4.22 kernel in the 
repository.

  Is there any particular reason for this or is it just, that the module 
somehow is prevented from becoming a *first class* citizen of the kernel?

  Just wondering...

Cheers,
Mariano

2003-10-29 Thread Mariano Kamp
On a sidebar ... When logging into KDE I do hear sound, but it sounds like it 
is played to loud (which it isn't). I believe it is a driver/settings issue 
as it was working fine with the other os.

Ok, I get it working without encryption, but not with encryption. Did you get 
this working with WEP128?

Btw. If some day a 2.4.22 module will come out, how would I tell my system not 
use the pcmci stuff anymore, but the wlan-ng?

Unfortunately there is no module for 2.4.22 ;-(

Yep, I compiled the 2.4.22 sources from unstable, but after reading the other 
posting from david am now moving to wlan-ng. At least I have found an option 
to use WEP128 there.

I added the description reported by card manager to wlan-ng.conf and mapped it 
to prism2_cs. Furthermore I removed the mapping for my card from /etc/pcmcia/
config.  We'll see how that works. 

I am currently waiting on the kernel-compulation as prism2_cs has not been 
found/built whatever (find /lib/modules/ - name *ism* didn't return 
anything). 
I now added links in /usr/src/modules/pcmcia-cs to /usr/src/
pcmcia- and the same for linux-wlan-ng. I also added 
--added-modules=pcmcia-cs and

Yeah, good idea. Will do that if I don't get it working with the sources.
With "not first class" I mean, that to me it is way harder to learn yet 
another way to compile the kernel.

Disk I/O stalling whole system ..

2003-09-08 Thread Mariano Kamp
Hi,

 when copying from one ide disk to another ide disk on the the same controller 
the whole systems stalls. I am running 2.4.19 on unstable.

  When renicing the copying processes it works ok, but I am not sure if that 
is the solution. And if that is, how would I do this efficiently. Looking a 
top and renicing by hand is a bit annoying to me ;-)

Derrick,

  alright I will fallback to that if I have to copy large amounts of data, but 
usually I am using konqueror to copy files ... Is there anyway, but  a 
script, to mass renice process with some shared characteristics like the 
command? I mean something like killall, but of course it shouldn't kill but 
renice ;-)

Geordie,

  that is exactly what I was looking for.

  A question on a sidebar ... How did you learn that? I had a good look at the 
renice command man page and after I read your mail once again, but didn't 
find anything.

  Actually I tried it out and it didn't work for me. What I tried is:

rock:~# renice -10 pppoe
0: old priority 0, new priority -10
rock:~# renice -10 /usr/sbin/pppoe
0: old priority 0, new priority -10
  
  And top also show a nice value of 0.

  Any ideas?
Cheers,
Mariano

Tim,

  I don't have a problem with raw throughput. For both disks hdparm reports 
around 37 MB/sec, though konqueror reports around 7 MB/s.

  The problem is that nothing else is really running when copying between 
those two disks. I wonder if your drives are on the same cable? hda/hdb?

  Your system is not stalling when copying large files, right?

Mariano

How to secure WLAN access?

2003-10-07 Thread Mariano Kamp
Hi,

  a couple of words about my boxes set up at home. I have one box, rock,
connected to a dsl-router on one interface, outside interface, and the remaining
boxes on another interface, inside interface. On rock I use
shorewall/iptables for NAT and blocking all incoming tcp/ip connections. So far so 
safe, I
believe. 

  (Un)fortunately I also have a wlan access point plugged on to the inside
interface. I am currently using WEP128 with shared keys on a netgear 802.11/g
access point to encrypt the traffic. 
I am running a wide range of protocols from different devices though the
access point. Some devices, like my palm tungsten c, do know about vpns, some
computers like the notebooks friends bring over don't (at least not yet). If I
can't get the latter solved, that would be acceptable to me. Still I would
appreciate having a solution for that too. As I am with it, I also hate to give
away the WEP encryption keys to my visitors. This is not so much a matter of
lack of trust, but it doesn't feel the right way to me. 

  From what I've read so far this is pretty unsafe (the WEP part). 

  Sniffing through a couple of messages I got the feeling that setting up a
vpn would be the solution to at least my major concern, getting rid of WEP.  

  Would this be the right approach?

  Did anybody do this and cares to share the experience made?

  Was it hard to implement?

  I am not an admin wiz. Do I need to in order to get a small and simple vpn
up and running?

  Would I need a third network card to put into rock in order to separate
the wlan clients "physically" and ease setting up things with the vpn and the
firewall?

  What about performance? I'd like to play online games over wlan and am
concerned about latence.

  I am not looking for something sophisticated for the sake of technology
per-se. Quite on the contrary I just want nobody browse my filesystem/samba
shares. If there is something easier and still safe, I would go for it.

  Would it make sense instead of utilzing a vpn to to run some kind of
authentication over http first and what would that mean in terms of effort to get
it going?

  That were a lot of questions. All hints are appreciated.

Cheers,
Mariano

Desktop launchs recent programs when logging in

2002-10-27 Thread Mariano Kamp
Hi,

  using Gnome with woody it always launches a couple of programs I
recently used (like xemacs, xterm etc.). It also does launch more
instances every time I login. 

  I greped through all directories starting with a dot for xterm and
xemacs, but haven't found anything. Where is stored what I recently
launched and what is the proper way to deal with it? Instead of logging
out I do usually su to root and use "halt" to shutdown the system. Is
this part of the problem?

How to format and partitionate a disk?

2002-10-31 Thread Mariano Kamp
Hi,

  did I get it right that there is no tool available at installation
time to partitionate a hard drive?

  ---

  Another question. I have a box with SuSE left and want to upgrade it
to debian. The box has now two hds and I want to keep the second drive
for the time beeing and after the new system is alive and kicking I will
format it. What do I need to do to get the drive formated and to install
a journaled file system? What journaled file systems are mature enough
to be used? reiserfs?

  I don't expect exhaustive answers, though I would appreciate them ;-),
but would like to get some pointers to specific documentation.


Cheers,
Mariano

Ok, but I don't intend to format a second drive during the installation
process, because it is the backup of the data I want to use.
I was looking for the something like: 
format /dev/hda6 and use reiserfs 

:-) 
 
Btw. Reiser is not supported in bf2.4?!

Well, I am just looking for some journaled file system to be used on a
single processor machine. I would go for the file system which is the
easiest to install and wouldn't punish me with beeing extraordinary
slow.

Kernel Panic | boot | Unable to mount root fs | Reiser FS

2002-11-01 Thread Mariano Kamp
Hi, 

  a couple of hours ago I used to have a SuSE 8.1, Kernel 2.4.18, system
with an ide and scsi drive. The system used to boot from the scsi drive.

  During this morning I wanted to _upgrade_ the system to debian.
Therefore I started the woody installation from cdrom and partitioned
the hd with the provided tool from the installation menu. 

  I created three primary partitions:

* /dev/sda1 8 MB, Type Linux
* /dev/sda2   512 MB, Type Swap
* /dev/sda317 GB, Type Linux

  I initialized /dev/sda2 as swap, /dev/sda1 as ext3 and /dev/sda3 as
reiserfs.

  /dev/sda3 has been mounted as "/".

  [ ... loads of installation details omitted ... ]

  The last step before rebooting was to make the system bootable. I
selected

A. to boot from /dev/sda1
B. to boot from /dev/sda3

  I repeated the steps a couple of times and can't remember each step
exactly, but I've been asked to confirm that having an IDE and SCSI
drive can result in not beeing able to boot from the SCSI drive. I don't
believe that this is the problem though as it is working fine with the
previous installation with SuSE.

  No matter if I used A or B when booting the machine it says "L " and
then adds "01 " constantly. No LILO, no nothing. 

  Using the CDROM to boot the system and issuing the following commands
at the lilo prompt

A. rescue boot=/dev/sda
B. rescue boot=/dev/sda1
C. rescue boot=/dev/sda3

  Linux comes up, but panics. The last lines read like this:

[network stuff]
Partition check:
 hda: [PTBL] [2433/255/63] hda1 hda2 < hda5 hda6 >
[ apm stuff ]
request_module[block-major-58]: Root fs not mounted
VFS: Cannot open root device 3a:05
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 3a:05

  Any ideas?

  Should I try something else but Reiser fs? What type would I have to
had set when using cfdisk for Reiser fs? 


Any help is greatly appreciated,
Mariano

Re: Kernel Panic | boot | Unable to mount root fs | Reiser FS

2002-11-01 Thread Mariano Kamp
Seneca,

thank you. That was an impressive answer.

> Does your kernel have reiserfs support compiled into it ( not module)?
> You can check in /boot/config-$KERNEL
To be honest .. I don't know for certain if I can give you the right
answer to it. I started from the cd with bf24 and when going to the
console there is no /boot/config-$KERNEL. 
For the system I wanted to install I was going for the standard kernel
bf24, selected ReiserFS as my filesystem and expected it to work. 

So I believe I am in a kind of chicken and egg situation here. 
I cannot boot the system, because I want the root filesystem to be
ReiserFS, but debian bf24 ships without, so that I am not able to
compile a new kernel. 

I do have a notebook with debian running and I guess it would be
possible to compile a foreign kernel there, but to be honest I am a
newbie to Linux especially to Debian and don't believe in my skills
here. I guess I have to go for a non-journaling file system for the time
being and have to wait for the next version of debian hopefully
including ReiserFS. 
On a second thought I just have an 18 GB and a 40GB drive attached and
fsck shouldn't run to long. Coming from SuSE I was just used to use it.

Anyway, thanks very much for your detailed answer. I've learned a lot
here.

Re: Kernel Panic | boot | Unable to mount root fs | Reiser FS

2002-11-02 Thread Mariano Kamp
Hi Alan,

  ok, it's good to hear that it would be possible to use ReiserFS out of
the box. Still I am wondering which problem I did hit then?

  In the posting of Seneca he quoted the explanation regarding the lilo
error messages. As far as I understood there is a serious problem with
my hard disk, which is unlikely as the machine was running the same way
(i.e. booting from SCSI and using ReiserFS) with SuSE. 

  I was unsure what to do with the type of partition when fdisking my
hd. I left the type as "eightysomething - linux" as I haven't found
ReiserFS as a vaild type.

  Btw. Is it possible to boot from a ReiserFS partition?

Hi Thomas,

  I am using the Sony Access Point and the Sony card. The card works

only be configured from windows which stinks. Both, but especially the

nothing, but an access point. You can get an access point with DSL and
dhcp server for less.

Playing .bin files in mplayer and xine

2003-08-30 Thread Mariano Kamp
Hi,

  I've got a couple of .bin files, which I believe are svcds, aren't they? I 
can play them with kplayer, but it is horrible as the sound is skipping. Xine 
on the other hand won't play them and reports that it couldn't find a demux?! 

  Any chance to play these files without skipping? Would it make sense to add 
more "demuxer"(?) to xine? If so, how?

  I am using testing.

Any project for turning linux into a hd video recorder?

2003-08-30 Thread Mariano Kamp
Hi,

  I remember stumbling over an article some time ago. It was on, I believe, 
slashdot referring to an assembly project with the goal of turning a linux 
box with a tv card into some sophisticated vcr, with electronic programm 
guide and also the ability to stream videos and to record from the tv 
program.

  Unfortunately I haven't been able to find this article again and google 
didn't spit out anything I found useful (maybe the wrong keywords).

  Any ideas?

Re: Any project for turning linux into a hd video recorder?

2003-08-31 Thread Mariano Kamp
Hi,

  first of all thanks to all people responding.

> Was it MythTV? I stumbled on it once too. Looks pretty cool. I'd try it
> if I was into watching TV.
> http://www.mythtv.org/

  Freevo and mythtv look both very cool. I haven't been able to dig up a in 
depth comparison, but used the below mentioned messag to make a first 
judgement and go for mythtv.
  http://lists.snowman.net/pipermail/mythtv-users/2003-May/003496.html

  Two points important to me are 

  a) that currently have the tv card plugged into my firewall as this is the 
only machine which is permanently switched on and has large hdds. 
I know that this is not perfect, but for pragmatic reasons and a very 
restrictive firewall I believe that is ok. 
As a consequence I need to be able to get along with the capturing and serving 
without X11 involved.
On a first look MythTV seems to do the job ... ?!

 b) I'd like to watch german tv (actually I'd like to watch american/english 
tv, but that is not served here). That doesn't seem to be a problem with both 
projects as they both seem to rely on http://membled.com/work/apps/xmltv/.
Btw. At the bottom of the page is a nice listing of projects using xmltv. A 
good start for looking for other projects.

 The first obstacle in installing MythTv is, that I haven't been able to 
install it. I had a look at www.apt-get.org and found 
http://www.apt-get.org/search.php?query=myth&submit=Submit&arch%5B%5D=i386&arch%5B%5D=all.
 
But when trying to i apt-get install mythtv it complains missing library 
versions.

# apt-get install mythtv

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
  mythtv: Depends: mythtv-frontend (= 0.11-1) but it is not going to be

Problems with SSH and X11

2003-09-06 Thread Mariano Kamp
Hi,

  I have two boxes, one with X (black) and one without (rock). I want to run 
an X Application on rock, but always get the message that it is not possible 
to connect to the remote xserver.

  What I do is the following: 

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ssh -X rock 
The authenticity of host 'rock (192.168.0.1)' can't be established.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: 
Linux rock 2.4.18-bf2.4 #1 Son Apr 14 09:53:28 CEST 2002 i686 GNU/Linux
[..] abbreviated
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ echo $DISPLAY
[ void - just one blank line ]

From what I got from my googling. The DISPLAY variable should have been set, 
shouldn't it? At least I am sure I read that one shouldn't set it by hand...

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ xterm
xterm Xt error: Can't open display: 

Hmmh?!

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ DISPLAY=black:0.0 xterm
Xlib: connection to "black:0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

xterm Xt error: Can't open display: black:0.0
So, my X-Server on black is refusing to talk 

On black  kdm.log says this:
AUDIT: Sat Sep  6 17:15:28 2003: 304 X: client 20 rejected from IP 192.168.0.1 
port 32794

192.168.0.1 is the ip of rock.

If I run xterm locally, but with explicit IP it works:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ DISPLAY=black:0.0 xterm
   
  Besides that I have another thing with SSH bugging me. Maybe these issues 
are related? 
When I try to copy something with scp from rock to black, like this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ scp foo [EMAIL PROTECTED]:.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: 
executing /etc/bash.bashrc
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ 

I just get the message that /etc/bash.bashrc has been executed, which is just 
some debug message for me that this file bas been executed on rock.

  Btw. I am running unstable.

  I am also wondering why I have ssh and ssh2 on my machine. Can I remove one 
of them? How? apt-get remove ssh?

  I am a bit lost and don't understand it. Any ideas? 

Cheers,
Mariano

Hi Christophe,

  thanks for taking the time.

  I double checked the syntax with the man pages and I believe I already set 
it up this way ... with no success.

black:/etc/ssh# grep orward *

sshd_config:X11Forwarding yes

rock:/etc/ssh# grep orward * | grep -v '#'
ssh_config:ForwardX11 yes

sshd_config:X11Forwarding yes

  And the result is still the same?!

Hi Colin, Ismael,

  thanks very much for the help ... I can see progress now.

> I bet you don't have xbase-clients installed on the remote system.
Yeah, the settings of the DISPLAY variable works fine now.

rock:~# xterm
Xlib: connection to "localhost:10.0" refused by server
Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key
Warning: This program is an suid-root program or is being run by the root 
user.
The full text of the error or warning message cannot be safely formatted
in this environment. You may get a more descriptive message by running the
program as a non-root user or by removing the suid bit on the executable.
xterm Xt error: Can't open display: %s
rock:~#

But the login still doesn't work. Somehow the xserver on black is rejecting my 
requests.

Right.  Changed that and it's all working fine now. Thanx again.

Ksoftirq running wild .. What is it?

2003-04-01 Thread Mariano Kamp
Hi,

  a process called ksoftirqd_CPU0 is eating up my cpu ... I recently
returned from apm suspend and now this process eats 95% of my cpu. Oddly
enough I am not able to kill it with kill -9 pid.

  Any idea what this process does?

I doubt it has much to do, as it happened just once after wakeup. It *usually* doesn't 
eat up my cpu.
Having said that I need to admit that I still don't know what soft irqs
are and what a sampling issue is.

To save myself from another hint to search the fine web: I found that,
but I am not much smarter after browsing through it.
http://wwwos.inf.tu-dresden.de/~ch12/doc/dde_linux/softirq_8c.html

Anyway. It seems odd *to me* as it doesn't happen often and it doesn't
seem to calm down again.

Oh really? Lol, ok I will take that into consideration in the future.
To be serious again, what should I do in such a case? Reboot the machine
would be the only other option I could think of and that reminds me too
much of the other os.
I've seen that a process id of "4" hints to an important system process
and top also showed that the cpu was eaten up by a system process, so I
understood that the process might be important, but I issued sync as a
precaution and then tried to kill the process. Wouldn't that be enough
precaution for most cases, I mean better than rebooting? 

Until kill -9 doesn't seem to take effect I believed in kill -9 as the
last resort which will eventually kill a process. This doesn't seem to
the case.

But something seems to flood my systems with "soft irqs".

Problem with X / NV / GLX / unstable

2003-06-14 Thread Mariano Kamp
Hi there,

  I am running unstable (and the latest xserver from unstable and the nv bin 
module) and haven't restarted my xserver for a couple of days. Today I 
dist-upgraded (as I did before) and also restarted mit xserver. Unfortunately 
X is not working anymore. Meanwhile I pinned it down to the glx module and 
the following error messages:

 XSkipping "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libGLcore.a:debug_xform.o":  No 
symbols found

Symbol __glXFree from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libGLcore.a is 
unresolved! is not working anymore. 

  When uncommenting the glx module X is starting again.

  Any ideas?

Hmmh. I tried that before ...
I did 
apt-get install module-init-tools (Don't know if that is the right package) 
and also installed the sources.
I unpacked the sources and ran

make-kpkg -config=x --revision=xp2600.1 kernel_image

Unfortunately I got the following errors ...

My QTDIR variable is not set, but I don't know what to set it to. What package 
do I have to install? "apt-cache search qt dev" returns at least two pages of 
packages.

Regarding the kernel docs ... You are talking about 
/usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-2.5.69/Documentation/, right? What file to read? 
There are so many files and I found none named "READ ME FIRST", "Bull starts 
here" or at least index.html ;-) I also looked in the kbuild subdirectory 
with not much of a success.

Re: How to compile a 2.5.x Kernel

2003-06-14 Thread Mariano Kamp
Ok found g++  stupid me ... 
Now I get:
scripts/kconfig/qconf.cc: In destructor `virtual ConfigItem::~ConfigItem()':
scripts/kconfig/qconf.cc:291: error: non-lvalue in unary `&'

And that doesn't tell me anything ...

google told me that:
http://groups.google.de/groups?q=/qconf.cc:+In+destructor+%60virtual+ConfigItem::~ConfigItem()%27:+scripts/kconfig/qconf.cc:291:+error:+non-lvalue+in+unary&hl=de&lr=&ie=UTF-8&selm=20030429095010%243d33%40gated-at.bofh.it&rnum=1

Someone changed the kernel sources to get it running. Alright ... I now 
believe Hugh was right. I am probably not up to the job. I was just assuming 
that shortly before 2.5. will turn into 2.6.x rc it would be installable by 
me, but was wrong.

Thanks for all the help and comments...

How to pass in a password to the ssh command line client?

2002-12-25 Thread Mariano Kamp
Hi,

  I am using eclipse (http://eclipse.org) to access a cvs repository by
using ext:. The problem is that it asks for the ssh password on the
command line. Anything I can do to pass it in automatically?

  The short help of ssh looks like this:

mkamp@hamlet:~$ ssh
Usage: ssh [options] host [command]
Options:
  -l user Log in using this user name.
  -n  Redirect input from /dev/null.
  -F config   Config file (default: ~/.ssh/config).
  -A  Enable authentication agent forwarding.
  -a  Disable authentication agent forwarding (default).
  -X  Enable X11 connection forwarding.
  -x  Disable X11 connection forwarding (default).
  -i file Identity for public key authentication (default:
~/.ssh/identity)
  -t  Tty; allocate a tty even if command is given.
  -T  Do not allocate a tty.
  -v  Verbose; display verbose debugging messages.
  Multiple -v increases verbosity.
  -V  Display version number only.
  -q  Quiet; don't display any warning messages.
  -f  Fork into background after authentication.
  -e char Set escape character; ``none'' = disable (default: ~).
  -c cipher   Select encryption algorithm
  -m macs Specify MAC algorithms for protocol version 2.
  -p port Connect to this port.  Server must be on the same port.
  -L listen-port:host:port   Forward local port to remote address
  -R listen-port:host:port   Forward remote port to local address
  These cause ssh to listen for connections on a port, and
  forward them to the other side by connecting to host:port.
  -D port Enable dynamic application-level port forwarding.
  -C  Enable compression.
  -N  Do not execute a shell or command.
  -g  Allow remote hosts to connect to forwarded ports.
  -1  Force protocol version 1.
  -2  Force protocol version 2.
  -4  Use IPv4 only.
  -6  Use IPv6 only.
  -o 'option' Process the option as if it was read from a configuration
file.
  -s  Invoke command (mandatory) as SSH2 subsystem.
  -b addr Local IP address.

  I have also looked at the man page with not much of a success. I need
something like a parameter -pw xyz to customize eclipse.

  Any ideas?

Cheers,
Mariano

Re: How to pass in a password to the ssh command line client?

2002-12-25 Thread Mariano Kamp
Fraser,

  thanks very much for your help. 

  It is still not working though ;-( I ran ssh in verbose mode... Maybe
that gives insights? Not to me.

  Anyway, I can always fall back to start the eclipse ide in the
foreground and enter the password on the command line ;-(

Cheers,
Mariano

Re: How to pass in a password to the ssh command line client?

2002-12-25 Thread Mariano Kamp
Hi,


  I tried:

  ssh-agent
  ssh-add (entered passphrase)
  ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  And Bang ... It is still asking for the passphrase ...

  Ok, whatsoever ... I stick to entering the password by hand. The funny
thing is, that I created a key today for the first time, but was
accessing this repository for months without entering the password
manually. I wasn't working on that project for couple of weeks and now
it is not working anymore. What I changed is: SuSe 8.0 -> Debian
Stable/Testing/Unstable (same effect, no matter what version I use) and
upgrading from eclipse 2.0.1 to 2.1 M4. Any of this changes or some
change at sourceforge cut me off.

X hangs (ATI MOBILITY RADEON 7500 on Sony VAIO PCG-8A6M, GRX316Gwith X)

2002-09-02 Thread Mariano Kamp

Hi,

  I am not sure how to describe this problem properly. Basically my machine hangs 
every now and then. Sometimes it takes 20 minutes, sometimes five and it is also 
sometimes running for 60 minutes until it hangs.
Hangs means, I cannot do anything anymore. At least CTRL+ALT+DEL/BS and CTRL+ALT+F1 do 
not work anymore.

  I do have the feeling that it happens usually when I am also accessing the disk, but 
it is very hard to be sure with these things.

  Is there any log I can have a look at? /var/log/messages and XFree86.0.log doesn't 
seem to have something meaningful regarding the crash in there.
  The last possibly relevant message is: xfs: ignoring font path element 
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/CID (unreadable).

  I do currently have X11 configured for "vesa". Is there any better driver for my 
card? How do I know?  



Cheers,
Mariano

ACPI on notebooks? Can I burn my machine?

Hi, 

  I use a Sony VAIO PCG-8A6M, GRX316G and wondering how I can tell if

  I read that it is possible to burn my laptop if ACPI is not activated.
Is that true?

I'll try that. But I know for sure that the machine is still pingable
after a crash.
With 5/20/60 minutes I want to say, that it doesn't seem to happen every
time after 5 minutes. And it always happens when I am doing something.
It would be an interesting test to let the laptop run the whole night,
but I am afraid to do that, because I read that my laptop will burn when
ACPI is not working properly and I learned that there is no out of the
box ACPI and I would need to learn how to patch a kernel etc. first.

X hanging the whole system at startup

2002-09-06 Thread Mariano Kamp

Hi,

  I installed woody and after booting the machine x hangs the whole
machine (at least numlock doesn't work anymore). Is there anyway to
interrupt the startup procedure to prevent x from starting?

  I am also wondering what the reason for that is? Issuing startx by
hand does work. 

  Does anybody know where I do set the window manager (xdm etc?).

gtk2 gtk-demo Couldn't Load font Sans 10 falling back

2002-09-06 Thread Mariano Kamp

Hi,

  I tried gtk-demo from gtk2 with woody. Unfortunately I get the message
"Couldn't load font "Sans 10" falling back to "Sans 10" two times and
then "All font failbacks failed!!!" ... Any idea how to solve this?

  I've seen some messages about something similar, but it didn't seem to
be related to my problem. At least I haven't seen a connection?!

Still getting kernel panic when compiling my own kernel

2002-09-27 Thread Mariano Kamp

Hi,

 I still haven't given up yet to compile my own kernel, but I am nearly
there. Meanhwile I removed the kernel and the kernel source packages and
installed them again. But even from the scratch without changing
anything I get a kernel panic from my compiled kernel. Aren't the
default settings being supposed to be the same as the standard kernel
shipped? The standard kernel is working though. 

  Problem is it doesn't support acpi out of the box and afaik I need
acpi if I don't want to burn the processor on this particular machine
(as described on linux-laptop.org).

  For the record .. I am using woody on a sony vaio grx316g.

  Btw. I also bought a null modem cabel to get the console messages from
the kernel before the panic, but unfortunately I found out that my
laptop has three usb, and firewire and ..., but not a serial port :-(
Are there any other ways to see the kernel messages? I believe that the
file system is not mounted at that point in time and probably because of
that I don't see any relevant messages below /var/log.

Cheers,
Mariano

Well, as I am trying this for three weeks now and tried more than thirty
different kernels. I am not going to follow this path. 

My question is: How can I get the settings for the kernel shipped with
woody (24.18-bf). It works. And I can start from there.

Or .. Would it help to go to a newer version than woody? Would it have
xfree 4.2 and acpi already built in?

Because I kept the standard kernel and added it to lilo. So I am able to
resurrect the system, but obviously without the features I need (acpi).

I did this a couple of times. See other postings. 

As I am very much suspecting the procedures to be the source of trouble
(why else should not even one of my roll your own kernels work) I will
go into the details again.


apt-get remove kernel-source-2.4.18 kernel-package
rm -rf /usr/src/linux
rm -rf /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.18.tar.bz2
rm -rf /lib/modules/2.4.18

apt-get install kernel-source-2.4.18 kernel-package
cd /usr/src
tar xvjf kernel-source-2.4.18.tar.bz2
ln -s kernel-source-2.4.18.tar.bz2 linux
cd linux

make-kpkg clean
make-kpkg -config=x --revision=sonyVaioGrx316G kernel_image
dpkg -i /usr/src/kernel-image-2.4.18_sonyVaioGrx316G_i386.deb

reboot


Hopefully I got the steps right.

ACPI patch and other necessary things have been left out since two weeks
to reduce complexity.
I also attached the current .config file. But this doesn't make much
difference as no config has worked so far. But as this one is a clean
and untouched one, we probably can start from there. The only thing I
changed is:

CONFIG_IDE=y
CONFIG_EXT3_FS=y


Any help is appreciated.

Mariano

Which one is "kernelimage"? I found one called bzImage, size ~500K.
should I copy it to /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18? on my system /vmlinuz points
to /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18 and /vmlinuz is configured in lilo.conf.

Re: Still getting kernel panic when compiling my own kernel

2002-09-28 Thread Mariano Kamp

That is what I did all the time. This thread was about how to do it a
different way.
Anyhow it seems to work now. Still I've some problems, but need to dig
into that. At least I am able to boot now and I am not sure what I did
wrong before. I ***guess*** is was something about dpkg -i and my
assumption that it does run lilo, because I now ran lilo by hand (to use
the manual approach described by Klaus.

So, I'll investigate further and come back to the list if it is still
not working.

Thanks to everyone for supporting me.

Where to get the new installer?

2003-12-05 Thread Mariano Kamp
Hi,

  I am stuck with the woody installer. It doesn't have a current rhine driver 
(see next posting). I tried with an alpha version of the new installer, but 
it always fails after discovering usb. This also happens with the new 
net-installer.

  When trying to download the beta from debian.org (http://gluck.debian.org/
cdimage/testing/netinst/i386/beta-1/sarge-i386-netinst.iso) I always get a 
404. I guess this is related to the security issue. For whatever reason: I am 
not able to get my hands on it. 

  When downloading sarge from one of the mirrors it comes with the old 
installer.

  Any idea where the new installer is mirrored (I found some reference to 
debian-developer sites, which are also down)?

  It works with Knoppix (besides a lcd-screen issue). Any idea how bad it is 
to start out with Knoppix and then use it as a Debian system?

Cheers,
Mariano

Cheap PC / unknown components. ALDI/Medion MD 8080 XL anyone?

2003-12-05 Thread Mariano Kamp
Hi, 

  I bought one of the "cheap" PCs from a german discounter. I am wondering if 
anybody has been able to install Debian on it? Any pointers would be nice.

  www.linux-hardware.de wasn't helpful.

  Allmost all the components are unknown  when looking at the /proc/pci 
output. This is interesting, because I believe they used "brand" components. 
My guess is that they are a little bit modified to make sure that prices are 
not easily comparable. Is this likely to be true?

Paul,

  thanks for taking the time.

  Yet, it is the same pc. What I don't want is a Knoppix System. I want 
debian. Looking at the etc directory and some other stuff, I believe there 
are differences between Knoppix and Debian. 

  Yes, in theory it should work on Debian when it works on Knoppix, but when 
having to use the old installer then the modules are very much out of date. 
In this particular example, I don't get the network up, so it is pretty much 
pointless to use the old installer. Btw. The old installer was not even able 
to cope with a 160GB hd.

Cheers,
Mariano

Sorry?
Pointers in the sense of links to websites I haven't been able to get from 
google myself. Best case would be a pointer to an experience report

Thanks for clearing that up.

The discounter is called ALDI and the Modell is Medion MD 8080 XL as described 
in the subject.

If this is of interest I could post a /proc/pci output, but it is pretty 
meaningless as it in most cases says "unknown type". The box itself is a p4 
3ghz, 512 mb ram, some intel board which I haven't figured out yet etc.etc.
When I am able to get the network up and running an compile a current kernel I 
hope there will be more information.

Well, I did two postings at the same time,  because I thought it would be 
easier to divide the problem in two topics: a) Anyone also using this 
particular computer and help with aquiring the new installer.

Absolutely. The via-rhine module is to old in woody (see my other posting). 
The module from knoppix *and* the new installer does work. 
Unfortunately the new alpha version of the new installer stops working at some 
point (usb-discover) and I am not able to get my hands on the beta version as 
gluck is down. So my second and more important questions is: Anybody 
mirroring the new installer (see other posting)?

Well, I booted from the first woody cd and apart from the installer not being 
able to work with my whole hdd (just 120 of 160 gb) I am able to install the 
base system. When trying to setup the network to upgrade to sid I have the 
a.m. problem with my card I am stuck so far. 


Thanks for taking the time.

ok, great. All there is left is the splash? Nothing nasty with different /etc or 
kernel compiles? Ok, I just read on debian-announce that the system will be back on 
really soon. If that is not going to happen tomorrow I'll give the knoppix hd 
installer a shot and try to work on the X issue.

Great... The new installer is just wonderful. It solved my problems mentioned 
in the other Thread "Cheap PC etc.". The installation is not finished yet, 
but it looks **very** promissing.

Thanks to you (and the others) for sharing your insights.
I tend to agree and after beeing able to get my hands on a current version of 
the installer I don't see why I should use Knoppix for my permanent Linux 
boxes. The installation is running at the moment, but after having a peek 
at /proc/pci the installation with the new installer looks **very** good to 
me.

I'll still use Knoppix to show Linux to co-workers though ;-)

Mariano

Meanwhile I got my hands on the new debian installer and so I am at least past

I found your tool in Debian too and it rocks.

This will be a great help for the next steps... Great work!

That was it. The network module (via-rhine) coming with the woody installer 
was out of date.

Ok,  Paul mentioned E Condon also mentioned this approach. I will look it up

I used bf2.4. Anyway the new installer (and Knoppix) are able to cope with my 
hdd now.

After using the new installer and kernel 2.4.22 /proc/pci doesn't contain any 
"unknowns" anymore. Still "lscpi -vv | grep -i unknown | wc -l returns" 14, 
but it doesn't seem to me that this is a problem. We'll see.

It came with XP Home Edition, but as it never saw the light on my box, it 
shouldn't have hurt my box ;-)

>>Does that OS know what hardware it is

A friend of mine bought the same box and did send me screenshots what the 
other OS detected. Anyway the package lshw (and the newer kernel) did a great 
job in identifying the components, so I hopefully wouldn't need to fall back 
on that.

Just curious. You bought a Medion PC outside of Germany?

Compiling 2.6: Cannot stat "conf.vars"

2003-12-06 Thread Mariano Kamp
Hi, 

  I am trying to compile 2.6.0-test9 on i386/debian/unstable.

  When running:

make-kpkg --revision=medion3g --config=menuconfig clean kernel_image

  That's what I get:
 
  [..] (copied by hand)
install -p -o root -g root -m 644 conf.vars debian/tmp-image/usr/share/doc/
kernel-image-2.6.0-test9/conf.vars
install: cannot stat "conf.vars": No such file or directory
  [..]
  
  It's my first 2.6 compile and I am a bit lost here.
  I  created the missing file with touch, but it is removed in the process of 
doing kernel_image.

  I googled for conf.vars and make-kpkg, but haven't found anything useful 
regarding this problem. Same for /usr/share/doc/kernel-source-2.6.0-test9/
debian.README and README.debian. Also zgrep -i conf.vars on the mentioned 
directory didn't yield any results. Any ideas?
  
  I attached my kernel config. You can see my box here: http://
mariano.homelinux.org/lshw.out.html. Anything else I can provide?

  Hmmh. I just ran it again with 2.4.22 and I get the same error. I messed 
something up, because that has never happend to me before (on other boxes 
brought up with the old installer).

Cheers,
Mariano

Did you ever try the beta-1 of the new installer? Just curious ...
It worked very well for me and detected all the right stuff. Apart from having 
to use fdisk I believe almost everybody will be able to install Linux with 
it. 
And regarding the fdisk thing. I am not sure, but I believe to remember that 
there might have been an option to let the installer do the partitioning.

That's very interesting. Especially for installing 50 systems with a common 
set of software it is debian coming to my mind, not any other distribution.

Hi,

  welcome to Debian. A great choice ;-)

  The 128KBits line is a burden, but that should only be a problem if you are 
tracking unstable/sid. From yesterday to today I got 140 MB download (that is 
one day), but this won't happen if you go for testing/sarge. Between two 
releases of a package is a minimum gap of 10 days (afaik). 

  What kind of system are you setting up? A webserver you want to put on the 
net and never want to spare a second thought on it? Woody is probably good 
for you here. 
If you want more current software and are willing to take a little risk go for 
testing/sarge. Go to /etc/apt/sources.list and replace all "stable" with 
"sarge". Enter "apt-get update" to update your package database and "apt-get 
dist-upgrade" for upgrading the whole installation. This will also add new 
packages which you haven't had before, but are now available in the "stock" 
sarge distro. You likely will have to download more than 100 MB. The good 
thing is that you can interrupt the download process at any time and resume 
just there when doing an dist-upgrade again.

Only problem with sarge is, that for some package with loads of dependencies 
it takes a long time to trach it. KDE 3.1 has taken ages.

Cheers,
Mariano

Mmh. In unstable came a new version of the kernel-package this night, but that 
didn't help either..

Anybody any ideas? It breaks compiles with 2.4 and 2.6.

has been fixed in the latest release. It is neccessary though to delete the 
existing kernel source package (save .config) first, to re-get it and then 
everything works fine!

Q:No modconf in 2.6?

2003-12-07 Thread Mariano Kamp
Hi,

  I just installed 2.6 and to my surprise it came up nicely on first try. When 
trying to install modules though, modconf didn't show any? Is there another 
tool to be used.

  I've also seen this bug:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=192232

  Would that mean that there is no other way than modprobe to manage modules 
at the moment?

  I have an ATI Radeon 9800 XL card and want to use it with debian/unstable 
Kernel 2.6.

  From what my googling turned up so far I would need XFree 4.3? 

  In unstable I "only" found XFree 4.1.  On apt-get.org I found XFree 4.3 for 
woody. Would I be able to use it? Any other place I can go for?

Cheers,
Mariano

Hi Roberto,

  I'd also like to use 4.3. What did you do to get your hands on the experimental 
version?

Cheers, Mariano

Thanks very much for the information.
Actually one reason I was going for this computer was that I thought I could 
get rid of the nvidia troubles and get all I need from mainstream. 
From what I understand so dar that even would'nt be the case when XFree 4.3 
would have been in Debian already, right?

So I need to lookup alien to get this rpm driver to work, right?

Cheers,
Mariano

Any d-u equivalent for Mac OS X?

2003-12-26 Thread Mariano Kamp
Hi,

  I recently bought an Apple pb and now I realize with horror that d-u
is not the right place for my questions anymore ;-) At least not for the
pb related ones. 

  Anyway, any good suggestion for a good list on OS X related stuff?

Cheers,
Mariano

How to delete folders in Cyrus21/IMAP not under INBOX?

2003-12-27 Thread Mariano Kamp
Hi,

  I am running an instance of cyrus for myself. Problem is, I can 
create and remove folders below INBOX, but I am not able to remove 
folders I've created on the same level as INBOX.

  Any idea?

  Is there any admin gui?

  I stumbled over this problem as the IMAP support for folders with 
names containing umlauts is broken in Mail from macintosh (this bug has 
been introduced with the latest version - their testing ** really ** 
sucks). So I tried to remove the folders with umlauts, but am not able 
to. Permission Denied!

Cheers,
Mariano

Did you create these as an IMAP administrator perchance?

Well, to be perfectly honest - I don't remember. How can I check that 
out? It is sometime ago that I installed it, but I believe that I made 
my user an admin.
However I didn't create those folders with cyradm, but with an email 
client. Btw. I created folders with different email clients.

Anyway, log in as an administrator using cyradm, give yourself
delete-folder rights using "sam" and then delete the folder.
Well, I tried that yesterday and it didn't work. Today it worked. 
Great. It was probably something about the weekday ;-)

Thanks for your help!

Cheers,
Mariano

Problem with X in unstable, screen resolution isn't set to the configured values

2003-07-06 Thread Mariano Kamp
Hi, 

  since a couple of weeks I have the above described problem. My monitor shows 
that I run with 1024x768. The funny thing is that this resolution is nowhere 
to be found in my XF86Config-4 (see attached file). 

  I assumed that this was part of the problem with the gcc bug, but meanwhile 
I don't see why that is and the thread on debianplanet.org faded out, so that 
I am now trying to have a look at it again.

  The only thing I found in the log (see attached file), which *I* consider 
funny is that:
(WW) NVIDIA(0): Failed to verify AGP usage
(II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "1024x768"

  I googled for "x unstable debian screen resolution" and "Failed verify AGP 
debian x" with not much of a success.

  I'd also like to mention that it was working perfectly until some weeks ago 
and I didn't change anything, but letting the dist-upgrade on unstable run.

  Any ideas? Any more information I can provide?
  
Cheers,
Mariano

Re: Problem with X in unstable, screen resolution isn't set to the configured values

Hallo Florian,

  thanks very much for your help.

  I am using an LCD screen (forgot to mention this in first place ;-() and 
after setting both max boundaries to 100 everything works as smoothley as 
before. 

  I made a backup of the current XF86Config-4 file and will restore it after 
the next dist-upgrade.

  I also applied the tip regarding the mouse.

  Once again, thx,
Mariano
