Undefined reference to '...'
I've encountered a condition in GNU C++, where I define the following
template function...
templateclass T
class ancestor {
private:
...
public:
ancestor()
~ancestor()
};
templateclass T
ancestorT::ancestor()
{
...
}
...
and use it in a main program...
main()
{
ancestorint something;
something...
}
The program compiles without errors, but when the linker is to link the
object files, it is persistent that the reference to 'something' within
the main program is undefined to 'ancestor...'. Every reference to
the object 'ancestorint' is reported as undefined in the program.
Does anyone have a clue as to why this occurs, and if there is a cure
to this?

Re: Linux for sale
For curiosity, what were the names of these two superstores? I don't think I have seen Linux being sold in any stores here... (Mass.) I looked at my comp usa ads (from the newspaper) recently and saw an ad for professional linux in it. It was for $100, but the fact that they have it at all impressed me.

Re: Linux for sale
I know that Linux is now on the shelf at Fry's Electronics ... that is the Electronics Supermarket in Silicon Valley ... these are HUGE stores, larger than the average grocery supermarket. They see thousands of people through their doors every day. I saw some Linux books (with CDs) at the local bookstore in the mall here in Penticton, B.C., Canada (pop. 30,000). We don't have a computer store that carries a full selection of software in town (the closest superstore is an one hour drive away). So there are probably just about as many units of Linux in stock in town as there are of Win 95 at any one time. That's getting to be pretty good market penetration. :-) Cheers, - Jim pgpBLQderB4nz.pgp Description: PGP signature

Some of them obviously belong to packages like tetex, but I can't identify
others. I would like to run through the list of installed packages
and check every package to see whether all its files are present.
Is there any tool to do this?

Make it idiot-proof, and someone will breed a better idiot.
I've attached a script that I wrote after I had a partial
disk failure. It worked for me but it is slow (30 minutes
on my P133). The results are interesting even on an
uncorrupted system. Your mileage may vary.

(xconfig or make xconfig doesn't work) xf86config is the name of the program which sets up the proper configuration according to your hardware.

Make sure that you have all the technical specs for your monitor handy when you run this. As well how can I integrate all X-programms and games on the X-screen? There is currently just the desktop and a shell for input. Which window manager are you using? The fvwm95 package sets up some buttons which are useful and can be customized. More importantly, the menu package should be installed. This provides menus for many of the Debian window managers and many packages hook into it. Once you have installed it, look in the /usr/doc/menu and find out how to further customize your desktop as you like it. In the case of fvwm95, you can add buttons and other things as the window manager starts up but you must be careful not to edit the /etc/X11/fvwm95/system.fvwm295 file itself to make the customizations since this file is rebuilt EVERY time the update-menus program is run by you or a package just installed. Rather you must make all of your customizations in the /etc/X11/fvwm95/system.fvwm2rc95-menu file and then run update-menus yourself to build the system.fvwm2rc95 file. The next time you start fvwm95 the new changes will be visible. Some programs do not hook into the menus so you can do it yourself. What you need to do is to put the appropriate file in the /etc/menu directory. The documentation is in the /usr/doc/menu directory. Hope this helps, Carlo *** *Carlo U.

Private XF-Mail package available
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Ok, folks, I have taken a stab at making a debian package and I will admit that I cheated a bit :) I have been using the XF-Mail GUI email package and really like it. I like it so much that I wanted to share it so I grabbed the .rpm and built a .deb from it. You are actually going to need to packages and I have placed them both on an FTP site for you to grab. Here are the instructions: ftp://corsica.shorelink.com/pub/debian and grab the xforms_0.86-2_i386.deb and xfmail_1.1-6_i386.deb packages. Install the xforms package first then then xfmail package. I have the Debian xforms0 package installed and the installation of the new pages along side of it has not seemed to break anything on MY system but if it breaks something on your system you should be able to back everything out using this procedure: dpkg --purge xforms dpkg --purge xfmail dpkg --purge xforms0 Then reinstall the old xforms0 using dselect or manually. It looks like the new package overwrites parts of the old xforms0 package and points the symlink to the newer libforms.so.0.86. As I said, so far, this has not broken anything on my system and I have a great new email program (supports POP3, IMAP, SMTP, POP3 mail transmitting, sorting of incoming mail, PGP, etc). I created the packages by doing an alien -g package name then a debian/rules on each package and finally a dpkg-buildpackage on each one. Seemed to work ok. email package and really like it.

Re: Private XF-Mail package available
I thought rc5 was responsible for this, but I guess I had just never looked very closely before. With nothing running but the ordinary Debian stuff (I don't have any deamons running other than the base ones) syslogd uses as much processor time as it can get (60% with rc5 running for example, ~98% otherwise) filling up /var/log/messages with: Aug 31 17:15:04 Beleriand syslogd 1.3-0#11: restart. Aug 31 17:15:04 Beleriand kernel: klogd 1.3-0, log source = /proc/kmsg started. Aug 31 17:15:04 Beleriand syslogd 1.3-0#11: restart.

I believe this is affecting performance, since rc5v2 does not run nearly as fast as advertised on a Pentium-133 (this is what started me looking at this stuff, and since I read that syslogd is a tcp/ip related daemon I blindly suspected rc5). If anyone knows what is going on here I would be very interested. select is in man(2) but it didn't look like it should be a userland concern, and It didn't make a lot of sense to me. While on the subject of odd things that I don't begin to understand: since I fixed my chatscript so my modem hung up when DTR went low (by initializing the modem with ATZ and ATD2), my computer occasionally decides to connect itself to the internet without my doing anything at all. I run pon, later run poff, and a few minutes or hours later I hear my computer dialing. It has done this twice now. I have looked for residual ppp or chat processes with ps -ax but I don't see any. On both occasions rc5v2 was running, set to communicate freely on all ports. I don't have diald installed. Last question: when I ftp from home to sunsite.unc.edu, the ftp process freezes after the first line from sunsite, like this: $ ftp sunsite.unc.edu Connected to sunsite.unc.edu. 220-Welcome to the SunSITE USA ftp archives! Quit (core dumped) I have to use ^\ to kill it. It works fine when I telnet to my university and the ftp from there. I have tried ftp -p, but the results are the same.

kernel source?
Hello: Forive me if this a newbie question, but I can't seem to find my question documented anywhere. I'm a long-time slackware user, and compile a new kernel with my eyes closed. I've decided to give Debian a try, and everything's been going well. Here's my one problem. I selected to install the kernel-source for 2.0.29 and 2.0.30 from my new 1.3.1 cd using dselect. Afterwards, it shows that it was installed, but my /usr/src directory is still empty. #1 Where is this source? #2 Do I still compile using the make config like before? #3 If I just pull the kernel source via ftp, can I compile like before (slackware) or do I risk damaging any of Debian's package management features?

mirror regets whole Debian archive
I had for 6 months used mirror to mirror the Debian distribution through the site uiarchive.cso.uiuc.edu. On August 30, 1997, MY MIRRORING PROCEEDED TO GET THE WHOLE MIRROR, REPLACING FORMER IDENTICAL FILES. I did not change mirror sites, I did not change my mirror.defaults file, though I did turn my computer on after a 3 week vacation. This regetting-the-whole Debian archive also happened to me last year under different circumstances when I made many changes in my computer's clock setting, my debian mirror site, ... . This is a bit inconvenient with my modem, requiring a week of constant connection to my ISP. Checking some dates as my mirror replaces files, I present three example files [my computer has Eastern Time in the US]: filedate before date now date at ftp.debian.orgdate at debian.crosslink.net and at uiarchive [on Eastern Time in US] --- -- perl_5.003.07-10.debApr 22 5:24 Apr 22 13:24 Apr 22 8:24 (5 hour) Apr 22 12:24 perl-debug_5.003.07-10.deb Apr 22 5:23 Apr 22 13:23 Apr 22 8:23 (5 hour) Apr 22 12:23 ucbmpeg_lr2-2.deb Mar 20 19:52 Mar 21 4:52Mar 20 22:52 (6 hour) Mar 21 03:52 Either uiarchive.cso.uiuc.edu has added 8 hours to its archive dates on files, or my computer has somehow changed its dates. My computer only adjusts system-time via ntpdate or xntpd, and has without-problem made these changes for some months now. I just returned from a vacation of 3 weeks. QUESTION 1: When xntpd and ntpdate change Linux system-time, or when clock changes the computer's CMOS time, do the filename dates change? Could something horrible (nothing I have seen) have happened to my disk-drive/scsi-bus that changed file dates? I ran some experimental tests, mirroring the file debian/bo/binary-i386/hamradio/rspfd_0.04-1.deb from various sites.

I AM DISSAPPOINTED THAT WHEN I CHANGE DEBIAN MIRROR SITES, THE PROGRAM MIRROR WILL OFTEN REGET THE WHOLE ARCHIVE. QUESTION 2: Does mirror replace a file if the mirror site indicates a file-date more than 1 hour newer than my computer's file-date, irrespective of time zone? QUESTION 3: When Debian went to version 1.2, many Debian mirror sites mirrored ftp.debian.org badly, dropping good files and failing to mirror others. I expect this problem will recur in the future. Is it reasonable to switch mirroring sites, or should I expect such a switch to reget the whole Debian archive? QUESITON 4: I suppose either my computer changed file-dates or the archive site changed file-dates. Which do you suppose happened, or do you suppose system-dates/computer-clocks matter here?

Re: Where can I find gs-aladdin 5.03?
Hello everyone,
I'm a newbie to Debian. I hope everyone can forgive my rudeness.
I uses my printer a lot. I used aps-filter + gs-aladdin 5.03 in my slackware
times.
Are you sure that was 5.03, on slackware? Really? I'd say it was 4.03.
Anyway, chances are, that anyone who sells Slackware CD's with gs-aladdin 4.03
on it gets sued (read the copyright on gs-aladdin), so that's the reason
it doesn't get included with debian: it's non-free.
That also gives you the clue as to where to find gs-aladdin 4.03: in
debian's non-free section.
Yes, I know I should package up gs-aladdin 5.0x for debian (I'm the Debian
maintainer), but I haven't had time so far.
I wonder where can I get the debian package of
gs-aladdin 5.03? I've already tired of making packages myself...:~~
Not yet available. However, just getting the sources, and compiling for
yourself shouldn't be too hard, I guess.

Re: R.I.P
John, Did you by any chance defragment the win95 partition? We have a machine where doing this seems to upset the linux partition - best guess was that the win95 defragmenter had a record of the disk partitioning, but hadn't noticed that FIPS had shrunk the linux partition. We couldn't quite believe that it could be designed this way, but you never know - it would take too much time to track it down more precisely!

wu-ftp...libraries for the guests!
Hi, I would like to know which libraries i have to copy for the ftp session to work properly for users defined as guests. I have about 200 users for whom i want a restricted access ftp (access to their home directories but not to the rest of the hard disk!). I configured ftpaccess and /etc/passwd properly, but the command ls wouldn't work for these users.

Re: wu-ftp...libraries for the guests!
Hi,
I would like to know which libraries i have to copy for the ftp session to
work properly
for users defined as guests.
I have about 200 users for whom i want a restricted access ftp (access to
their home directories but
not to the rest of the hard disk!).
I configured ftpaccess and /etc/passwd properly, but the command ls wouldn't
work for these users.
I copied /bin/ls into /home/ftpuser/bin, and I know now that i also need to
copy some libraries (from /lib to /home/ftpuser1/lib,
/home/ftp/user2/lib..) for ls to work.
But, does anyone know which libraries i need exactly, and if there is really
no other alternative.
ldd knows. But you'll have to ask her politely, like:
ldd /home/ftpuser/bin/ls

I am not brave Magossa'nyi enough to use more instable kernel than that. All Magossa'nyi you have to do is to compile the module for it, and Magossa'nyi modprobe ppa when you want to use it. You will have Magossa'nyi /dev/sda to mount the disks from. You can get it to be autoloaded by `kerneld' iff you edit the /lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.dep file after you `depmod -a`. Attached is a diff; you'll have to hand edit though; I doubt if this will work as a patch. I've found that `ppa' works best as a module, since that way, you can plug the Zip in with the computer already booted, and when the driver is inserted, it gets initialized. Otherwise, with it compiled in, you have to reboot before the computer will see the drive. (Sound is the similar thing. When quake screws up the sound driver, you can unload and reload the module to fix it. Otherwise it takes a reboot.) I'm using 2.0.30 with the `parport' patch and the Curtin ppa driver.
