Re: sound programs part 2
Hmm, I thought Debian bplay was compiled with buffer lockdowns out, since they can cause crashes. So my guess is that even as root, you are not really getting them, but the check isn't made so you don't see that message. It probably doesn't matter, since I have been able to do pretty cpu intensive stuff on my P133 while recording without any drop in quality. btw: have you managed to make the delay options (-t and -j I think) work with raw sound files ( I havn't tried other types)?

Hello all. I have finally gottne nis setup on a few machines but nfs is giving me problems. Basically what happens is when the client mounts the server all ownerships are lost.

Any interest in SNMP web based network monitor?
For the past couple of weeks I have been using a package called MRTG. Both the current release and the beta for the next release are running nicely, showing html graphic display of SNMP data. The package is set up for monitoring network traffic but can be easily modified to monitor other parameters. There are several things that are nice about this package. 1. The graphs are generated as gif files with a html that can be put right onto your web server for easy access by anyone with a web browser. 2. There are no other data collectors necessary. MRTG handles it all. 3. The log files don't grow, The data is kept in daily, weekly, monthly and yearly form with corresponding graphs. ( Drawback is that an old time can't be looked at in detail.) 4. The only additional packages needed are libdg that I believe is in unstable and the current pearl that stable is using. (I compiled libdg from it's origin and didn't find it until later in the Debian tree so I 'm not really sure about it.) If there are folks that are interested I'd like to try and package it. Never done that before but I think that it would be a nice addition to Debian. Several folks have told me that this would have come in handy for different tasks. When I set it up at work, some of the data that we got was extremely interesting. Cheers, Chris -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Controlling the FPU under Linux
Date: Mon, 13 Oct 1997 16:28:12 +0200
From: Thomas SCHIEX [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I'd like to know if anybody has experience in finely controlling the FPU
under Linux (I'm under Debian 1.3.1). I need to control the rounding mode of
the FPU (rounding up or down instead of to nearest).
Here is a program to set the FPU modes (assuming you are using an
Intel machine).
/*
Code to initialize the ix87 FP coprocessor control word.
This code must be run once before starting a computation.
Bit(s) Description
-- ---
0 invalid operation (FP stack overflow or IEEE invalid arithmetic op)
1 denormalized operand
2 zero divide
3 overflow
4 underflow
5 precision (indicates that precision was lost; happens frequently)
The first 6 bits control how the chip responds to various
exceptions. If a given mask bit is 0, then that exception
will generate a processor trap. If the mask bit is 1, then
that exception will not trap but is handled by a default
action, usually substituting an infinity or NaN.
Default is all masks set to 1.
8/9 precision control
00 IEEE single precision
01 (reserved)
10 IEEE double precision
11 non-IEEE extended precision
Default is non-IEEE extended precision.
10/11 rounding control
00 round to nearest or even
01 round toward negative infinity
10 round toward positive infinity
11 truncate toward zero
Default is round to nearest or even.
This code (0x0220) sets these bits as follows:
1. Precision mask 1, all others 0.
2. Precision control: IEEE double precision.
3. Rounding control: round to nearest or even.

Yes and no. This is because you created you mdtab by hand, and not with mdcreate. Mdcreate computes a checksum and puts it in the mdtab. When mdrunning a md partition, the checksum is computed and is compared to the one stored in the mdtab. If they're different, the md device isn't started. Having checksums can prevent you major problems if for example you add new disks and the devices change: You have /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1 as a single MD disk. /dev/sda has SCSI ID 0, /dev/sdb has ID 6. You add a new scsi device with id 3. Your /dev/sdb becomes /dev/sdc ! You'll probably trash your md device on next mount... The same can happen if you add/delete partitions... So, to have this checksum added to your mdtab, recreate it with mdcreate. Phil. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

From Slackware to Debian
Hello ALL, I have just joined this list. Hello to all you debian people. I have just received my debian 1.3.1 CD and have had my first try at installing it. ( Well it failled sob .. more on that later ) I have been running Slackware for several years now. However I am no expert. I have several questions about debian. I asked the question on the linux.misc news groups but they said I should ask here I hope some helpful souls can assist me. The questions are as follows. As I have had some experience with slackware please all you ex slackers think what were your experience when switching to debian. * What are the major differences between Slackware and Debian? * I have noticed that there is a difference between the debian boot up and the slackware bootup files. Is there any good documentation on this It looks like it is SysV style how close is it to SVR4 what is the differences ie can I read up on SVR4 init and know all about the debian init?. * This one has got me worried. I have heard that there is a one group per user. I am sure this does not effect a normal user but I would still like to know what exactly it means as I am interested in writing some edi messaging software and would like to really understand all the implications of this scheme of setting up rights. Is there some good reference on how this all works. My install Problems. For all those loong suffering people that are able to help me I would really appreciate your assistance with my install problems. Well IT DONT WORK!! Well actually it works but I have only got the basic system about 18MB used when I do a df Let me tell you about my system. - 486DX 80 - 16MB ram. - 820 MB harddisk, - VGA on a mono screen. - cyclom 8port board(Great thing). - 1.44 floppy disk drive - NE2000 compatible network card. NOTE : no CD ROM The harddisk is partitioned this way - I have a Dos and Win3.1 on a 250 MB partition - 32 Mb Swap partition - 500+ for Linux How I installed it - * I have a Win NT box which has a CDROM. * I copied most of the bo directories on to the Dos Partition using Win for Workgroup and sharing a directoy so that I can see it from my NT box. * I couldnt copy all the debian distribution because I did not have enough space. 250MB is not enough to hold all of the debian distribution. * I left out the X and the Ham radio stuff. I got all the - base - develop - net and most of the others - I did NOT have the packages.gz file. * I copied the boot directory to the dos machine and ran rebooted from there. The Install seemed to run OK. I thought I selected all the required packages. (it seemed it be able to pick up all the available packages even when I did not have package.gz) I thought it would install the the packages with a * character ( in dselect). However when I rebooted it only had 18MB installed and no man no less no nothing. I tried running dselect again and zippo nada nothing gets installed. I must be missing something simple ** Another question is with the NE2000 install. I used to give the command ether0=0,0x300,eth0 to lilo ( or something else ? cant remember) but the debian install didnt like that incantation. Instead i put in io=0x300 that seemed to work BUT when I rebooted (after the install) it locks up at boot up.( Just afetr it says its going into multiuser mode and there is a ne on the first column of the next line). I can get it to continue by hitting CTRL-C. How can I get the ether= incantation inserted in the right place? Where is the right place? ** An another problem is that once I Installed Linux I could not my DOS partition anymore. The install routine did not give me the option to specify my other DOS partition to boot. There are several lilo things around but it just seems to make thing worst So now I have rebooted with a dos pc and used FDISK to set my DOS partition as active so that i can use the box and get ready for another install. SO what I would appreciate is some hits and clues so that I can get a good second install. Thanks in advance. I was also planning to put several partitions on the hardisk there was some documentation with some suggested partition sizes for a 1.6 gig hardisk. I think it was 50 MB swap 30 MB root 40 MB var 450MB usr 1000MB home I was thinking that I should have something similar like this 32 MB swap 25 MB rootis this a problem ? 30 MB var is this a problem ? 300 MB usr Dont think this is a problem is it ? do I need 450?

Re: Postgres
Mario Jorge Nunes Filipe wrote: Once again I'm here to talk about Postgres. It was suggested previously that a new package to exist should be created using libc6. But (and correct me if i'm wrong) libc6 will only be final with hamm, so it might make some sense to create a package still using libc5 and maybe another one with libc6. What do you think about this ? Since I'm on unstable, I don't personally need a libc5 copy. My own efforts are concentrated on trying to find the date problem which appears to come from the change to libc6. Once I solve that, I'll release a package for hamm, since Siggy Bentrup appears to have left the scene. (He hasn't responded to my email at all.) Unfortunately, most PostgreSQL developers aren't using the new libc, so it may take a while. Another question relates to the process of upgrading, wich for what i could gather is just a process of dumping the db and reloading. Unfortunately, it's not quite as simple as that: Bear in mind that you will need to dump postgres95 data using its own version of pg_dumpall; this will probably fail to preserve SQL permissions. Also, reloading will fail if any column names are reserved words or in mixed case, since PostgreSQL 6.2 is more restrictive in both cases. I think that the old and new versions ought to be made to conflict; the user should dump his old data and restore it manually. If you try to automate this, it is likely to give someone a false sense of security and end up going horribly wrong. -- Oliver Elphick[EMAIL PROTECTED] Isle of Wight http://lfix.co.uk/oliver PGP key from public servers; key ID 32B8FAA1 -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Well, besides being better :) Debian's packaging system is more granular, allowing you better control over what packages you want to install. The packages also generally come with a better default configuration than slackware, making administration easier. Debian packages are also more intelligent on upgrades, allowing you to upgrade bits and pieces of your system (or the whole system) without rebooting or reinstalling. * I have noticed that there is a difference between the debian boot up and the slackware bootup files. Is there any good documentation on this It looks like it is SysV style how close is it to SVR4 what is the differences ie can I read up on SVR4 init and know all about the debian init?. The working of the SysV init scripts we use is described in /etc/init.d/README * This one has got me worried. I have heard that there is a one group per user. I am sure this does not effect a normal user but I would still like to know what exactly it means as I am interested in writing some edi messaging software and would like to really understand all the implications of this scheme of setting up rights. Is there some good reference on how this all works. Debian can be configured to install all users into a single group, or to install one group per user. The advantage of the second configuration (which RedHat also uses) is that users can set their umask to 002 and have files group writable, which when put in directorys set g+s for a project group, allow users to share files in groups with less effort and potential for error. -- Scott K.

I would consider other options if they fall in the catagory of cheap (cost effective) and dependable, while at the same time available quickly through mail order using a credit card. I have the HP SureStore 6020i drive. As its model number suggests, it is 6x read, 2x write. For writing, I use the cdrecord program. It works flawlessly, even writing multi-session CDs and it even works from a master on an IDE drive. cwrite also works with this drive, BUT... it won't do multisession, and it is much, much more system-intensive than cdrecord is. cdwrite barely works with an IDE drive at 1x record speed; cdrecord easily works with my IDE drive at 2x record speed. For reading, you need to do a tad bit more up-front. It will read normal CDs without any problem. However, you must patch the kernel to get the drive to read multi-session CDs. Once the kernel is so patched, however, it is able to read multi-session CDs without any difficulty at all.

Re: /dev/md0
Phil, This is because you created you mdtab by hand, and not with mdcreate. Mdcreate computes a checksum and puts it in the mdtab. When mdrunning a md partition, the checksum is computed and is compared to the one stored in the mdtab. If they're different, the md device isn't started. Thanks for the information. I'll be running mdcreate in a minute.

exim / mh problems
Hello, I have been running sendmail on my machine at home for a long time with few problems. I use mh and exmh, and sometimes elm. When I recently installed Debian on a machine at work I decided to try exim instead of sendmail. I liked it so I replaced sendmail with exim on my machine at home. Now I am having some problems on my home machine. I can send mail fine using elm, but when I try to send a message using mh, I get the following: leisure:~ send Use /home/ken/Mail/drafts/2? y post: problem initializing server; [BHST] no servers available send: message not delivered to anyone The exim process is running in daemon mode; I can see it using ps. Another problem is with incoming mail. I use fetchmail to retrieve mail from my Debian machine (flounder) at work which runs qpopper. I believe flounder is configured properly because this worked great when sendmail was installed at home. This is what I get when I try to fetch mail: leisure:~ fetchmail -v fetchmail: 3.8.0 querying flounder.efficient.com (protocol POP3) at Fri Oct 17 08:13:53 1997 fetchmail: POP3 +OK QPOP (version 2.2) at flounder.efficient.com starting.

Re: Booting to SCSI
Hey everyone! Simple (hopefully) question. I've got an IDE drive on an Tyan motherboard with an Award BIOS. I recently went out and bought a Seagate Cheetah drive on a Symbios Logic (aka NCR) 53c875 host adapter (an AWESOME combination, BTW g) How do I make the system boot from the SCSI drive instead of the IDE drive? Tyan, likewise, supports booting from SCSI in newer versions of the BIOS. At least for S1563D, it does. Since you do not specify what board you have, I hope I am not misleading you. However, IFF your version of the board and Award BIOS will NOT boot SCSI (again, I suggest you check before doing the appended), you can swap the Award BIOS for MR-BIOS which _does_ allow such tricks (among other things, it also allows you to have four floppies, eight IDE drives, RAID-0 and RAID-1 from BIOS and other weird things). I am NOT fond of MR-BIOS for quite a few reasons (a Chabad prayer embedded in the strings being a very significant one :-), but it WILL provide a solution. ---MAV Type Bits/KeyIDDate User ID pub 1024/2971208D 1997/09/11 Marc A.
