Verizon DSL success?
Has anyone had success getting Verizon DSL to work? I did the setup in Windows :( and then rebooted to try w/ Linux. I am running Woody, pppoe, and I ran through the pppoeconf setup. I looked at the connect session with ethereal, and am getting (in this order): PADI PADO PADR PADS PPP LCP configuration requests and acks (PAP negotiated) numerous attempts to send username and password PPP LCP Termination request (due to failure to authenticate) PPP LCP Termination Ack PADT PADT I have read through all of the READMEs and HOWTOs, and it looks like I have everything set up right. Any suggestions before I go out and by a Linksys router that can handle the pppoe connection for me? I am not currently subscribed to the list, so please cc me on replies. Thanks.

HTML editor
Any suggestions for a good HTML editor that does color highlighting & understands PHP? My favorite editor is HomeSite, and I have yet to find anything comparable for Linux. I've tried running HomeSite with WINE, but haven't gotten that to work :( thanks for any suggestions. Michael _ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
Re: HTML editor
Thankd for suggestions everyone. I've settled on Quanta for KDE - very similar to HomeSite & it understands many other programming syntaxes (sp?) including php. thanks.

Serial port problems
I am having trouble getting the serial port on my laptop to work. I have a Dell Latitude running potato. The port works fine when I boot into Windows - it is Com1 at x03F8, irq 4. I have had no luck getting it to work in Linux, however. After boot, "dmesg" gives me: . . .

Problems compiling kernel
I'm trying to compile a kernel to get wireless lan support for my laptop computer. I have kernel-source-2.4.16, and the pcmcia-source package from woody. Using make menuconfig, it appeared that the kernel would include support for pcmcia, so I didn't do anything with the pcmcia package. I followed the steps in the README, and upon attempting a reboot locked with the message "kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k binfmt-464c, errno = 8" scrolling down the screen. That didn't work, so I attempted to compile pcmcia separately (no errors) and use make-kpkg kernel-image and make-kpkg modules. Making modules errored out with "Module /usr/src/pcmcia-cs failed". I'm obviously doing something very wrong - if anyone would care to walk me through this, or point me to a source of information that explains the whole process and how it all fits together, I would appreciate it. Michael Dickey __ Do You Yahoo!? Send your FREE holiday greetings online! http://greetings.yahoo.com
modules won't compile
Output from make-kpkg modules_image is below (most output - I
redirected to a file, but some info still showed up on console??)
This error occurs no matter what kernel source I use. Kernel sources
and pcmcia-cs source are from woody.
what am I doing wrong?

unresolved symbols in modules - GPL issues?
Hopefully someone can help with this. I am trying to get my linksys WPC11 card working on my laptop running Debian woody. I compiled kernel and modules, including pcmcia (Debian 2.2.20 source, pcmcia_cs source 3.3.30 from sourceforge.net - Debian pcmcia_cs source wouldn't compile for some reason) and compiled the prism2 wireless drivers using the linux-wlan-ng-0.1.12. package at ftp.linux-wlan.org No problem so far. Installed modules (kernel source, pcmcia_cs, and wireless, and booted with the new kernel. My Xircom ethernet/modem combo card works fine, along with everything else, but lsmod doesn't show any wireless modules. "depmod" gives me: depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in lib/modules/2.2.20/pcmcia/prism2_cs.0 depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/usb/usbcore.o "insmod prism2_cs" gives a whole list of unresolved sumbols and ends with "Note: modules without a GPL compatible license cannot use GPLONLY_ symbols insmod prism2_cs failed" I get the same GPL note for "insmod usbcore", so I don't think it's a problem with the prism2 drivers, but before I spend hours trying different things (earlier version of pcmcia_cs source?) I'll ask if any of you have experienced this and know what I can do to fix it. Thanks for your time. Michael Dickey __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: KDE i386 binary debs
Go to http://kde.debian.net - there you will find the lines to add to your /etc/apt/sources.list file. You won't get KDE 2.2 for Potato, but the 2.1 that you can get is pretty solid. If you want 2.2 you will have to upgrade to Woody, - not recommended if you are doing it specifically for KDE, since to make that work right you will have to install some packages from unstable...

Cannot install prism2 modules for Linksys wireless cards...
I posted a question about the prism2 drivers for my laptop - unresolved symbols and the note "modules without a GPL compatible license cannot use GPLONLY_ symbols" I just compiled a new kernel for my workstation and compiled and installed the drivers from linux-wlan-ng-0.1.12, (pci this time) and I get the same errors: "depmod" gives me: depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in lib/modules/2.2.20/net/prism2_pci.0 "insmod prism2_pci" gives me a whole list of unresolved symbol errors and ends with the same "Note: modules without a GPL compatible license cannot use GPLONLY_ symbols.

The README for the linux-wlan-ng-0.1.12 drivers says that they have been tested on woody & the 2.2.20 kernel, so I'm not trying something totally new here. Somebody please help - I am absolutely stuck here! I'm willing to do the research to get this figured out, but I haven't been able to find much info on this error. Has this happened to anyone else?

The nvidia packages in Woody didn't work - didn't even seem to be complete, but the drivers from the Nvidia web site compiled and worked with no problems. Thanks for the help (Wayne too). Michael
X locks up
Just started experiencing this problem with a fresh install of woody on my laptop. X locks up as soon as I try to do anything, and ctrl-alt-backspace won't kill it, nothing will. This happens running twm or KDE window manager. I have no idea how to troubleshoot this. Any ideas? Michael
Re: X locks up - more info
More observations: when this happens, fonts are all messed up - larger than they should be, and parts of them are missing. When I telnet to the computer, XFree86 is consuming ~99% CPU resources, however even after I kill all x-related processes the desktop is still locked up. The only way I have been able to get out of this is to do a hard reboot.

With no LaTex experience at all, I picked up the Lamport book and managed to write my 100+ page Masters thesis. That book was a lifesaver! Michael
Xserver security setting
After upgrading to 2.2r3 I found that X would only start in 800x600 mode. I tried running XF86Setup again (maybe not the right way to go about fixing this?) and successfully got all the way through the setup until it started the Xserver with 1024x768 resolution and saved the config file. I then tried startx, and it didn't. What I got was: X: cannot read security setting from /etc/X11/Xserver _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111 giving up. xinit: Connection refused (erron 111): unable to connect to X server xinit: No such process (erron 3): Server error /etc/X11/Xserver only has one entry for the SVGA server What am I doing wrong?

Modules issues
After installing the kernel & modules I just compiled I find that when booting there are all sorts of error messages, most including something about modules.conf being more recent than modules.dep. I can only glimpse the messages before they are gone. Everything seems to work fine, though. Is there something that I can do to clean things up and eliminate the errors? Michael __ Do You Yahoo!?
