Re: Why libc6?

Why have this enormously difficult and disruptive move from libc5 to libc6? I'm basically unable to install any new .deb packages until such time as Debian 2.0 is released, because it would appear to be quite difficult to upgrade to libc6 without a CD-ROM, since FTP upgrades are tricky over a modem connection. I'm sure there are advantages to the new GNU libc, but as far as I recall no one has explained them on this list. What advantages does the new but incompatible version have, to justify the effort? From my glibc web page (http://www.imaxx.net/~thrytis/glibc) the advantages of glibc 2 over libc 5 and glibc 1: Thread safe Glibc is now thread safe. Functions with interfaces which prohibit a thread safe design (such as strtok) have been reimplemented with a reentrant counterpart. The stdio implementation in this version has been rewritten to be really thread safe, not wrapped in locks as the libc 5 has been. Better scheme for handing name databases The name lookup code has been rewritten to provide a clean and extensible way of handling different schemes. The math library has been improved The library should be more correct and faster for some functions. New functions from POSIX and XPG4.2 Several new functions from these standards have been added, and some existing functions have been improved to be closer to standards. Stable interface This library has been designed so a new incompatible libc interface should not be needed in the future. Reduced dependency on kernel header files The kernel header files are almost never used for libc. This allows more flexible changes in the kernel headers without breaking things. Trackable bug report mechanism Glibc uses GNATS for tracking bugs in the library. A glibcbug script included in the library distribution provides an interface for reporting new bugs. Users can watch the bug database using the www GNATS interface at http://www-gnats.gnu.ai.mit.edu:8080/cgi-bin/wwwgnats.pl Header files and name space is clean The header files and the name space are now clean. This is necessary to be compliant with the various standards. One source tree The same source tree with only a handful of individual files is used for the ports to i386, m68k, alpha, mips, sparc, and ppc (perhaps some day soon even arm). 64-bit clean Glibc has been improved to take better advantage of the 64-bit Alpha architecture.

free backup tailored for removable disks
I've checked the packages via www.debian.org, but all the backup packages there are aimed either at diskettes or tape drives. I have a Zip drive, and don't want to purchase a tape drive. Conversely, I don't want to backup a 1.2 gig drive to floppies. The commercial packages like bru might do it . . . but the two I've found for Linux are absurdly expensive. I have no problem buying commercial software, but when backup software for DOS or Windows or OS/2 or the Mac is available for $29, I can't justify buying a $100 Linux program. Someone will say use tar or use afio or use dump. I might, but as far as I can tell none of those except tar inherently support removable disks (multiple volumes). Tar can do multivolume backups, but from what I've read if one sector on the disk is corrupted, you lose the whole backup. So: are there any free (or cheap) backup programs for Linux, which by design support multivolume archives? (I kinda miss DOS. PKZip 2 would be perfect for my job, but unfortunately the InfoZip ZIP doesn't natively handle multivolume archives.)

We've never had a problem with restoring. I believe the really finicky one is dump not tar, although dump does have some really nice features for doing incremental backups.

Port 139 is the netbios port (check your /etc/services file if you want to see), which probably means you already have a nmbd process running which you need to kill.

Sound question.
I have successfully compiled the sound driver with support for my cheap Ensoniq Soundscape clone (made by Reveal). This installs fine, and I have verifyed that I am getting sound output by cat'ing a few .au files to /dev/audio, and I even picked up the mpg123 player to try out the Windows95suck.mp3 *grin*.. however, there is one problem and I'm not sure where to look for the solution. When playing .au files, the sound will play for about 8-10 seconds suddenly beccome choppy and then I'll get this error message: cat: write error: I/O error Also, when using mpg123, it plays each 2 seconds of sound like 6 times before moving on to the next 2 seconds. This is REALLY annoying, as the output sounds correct. I imagine this to be some sort of buffering problem.. but I don't know where to look. The sound buffer is set to 65535 (the maximum) so I don't see a problem there.. and yet...

Xlock questions
I have some questions related to xlock: 1. In `xlock -mode random', one of the modes is the Linux logo. It is (I think) supposed to bounce around the screen. Instead, it just sits there, and also seems to stop the `random' rotation of modes. Why does this happen? Is there a fix? I looked at the current bug reports for xlockmore, but didn't see this listed. I've got: XLock version xlockmore-4.02.1. 2. I'd also like to know how to request that mode (the Linux logo) directly. Is it an `-imagefile'? If so, where is it? I couldn't find it anywhere, except in the xlockmore source pacackage (which I don't keep on my system). Is it compiled in to the xlock binary? 3. I can't seem to get `-mode image' to work. I tried: xlock -imagefile FILE -mode image with FILE in each of several formats (xpm, xbm, ras, gif). For the xpm file, xlock said unrecognized format, despite the explicit mention of XPM in the man page. For the others, I just got a blank screen. What's the trick? 4. Is there a way to get xlock to activate itself automatically, after a specified amount of idle time? If not, is there some other screen saver that will do this? Or some utility that can be used in conjunction with xlock? Thanks. -David =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= David S.

Re: K6 and Debian (and heatsinks)
Most CPU fans I've seen come with a pad of conductive [something] which goes between the processor and the heatsink. I would think that something like this would be essential, given that the surfaces are probably not perfectly flat (on a nano scale). I think it's more a case of sheer laziness. The thermal grease doesn't come with the heatsink/fan combo, so has to be purchased seperately, and applied. It's not laziness, it's more like criminal negligence (my limited english shows here, but you'll get the idea). If a shop that build the machine says it doesn't matter, then I question their professionality. At work, if we happen to see a tube of thermal grease, we'll apply some, but we don't break our necks looking for it or anything. You can get a tube of it from almost any shop that sells electronic components (chips etc.) - at least here in Finland. It costs about 45 FIM = about 9 USD and lasts for about 40 machines. If you want to try - put your finger on a bare processor ( 486DX33) and power on the machine with some load on the cpu and see how long you can keep it there ;-) Note: some Cyrix etc. chips stay almost cool until they start to do something.

Re: K6 and Debian (and heatsinks)
frank wrote, Rick Hawkins [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote They work wonderfully. I have a k6-166 running at 210/83 quite happilly. However, it needs some cooling at this speed; until i get something more than this cheesy $2 fan, I need to keep the side off to compile (but not at 166/66). How is the heatsink (between the fan and the CPU, right?) attached to the CPU? Are you using heatsink compound (thermal compound, heatsink grease) between the heatsink and the CPU? I used a $2 tube of heat sink compound from radio shack. And, for the moment, an audio cassette tape to prob up the fan, as it slides down (board is upright in the tower). I just added a second case fan, blowing down from the top half of the case, and this with a cheesy fan now seems to be enough--I closed the case, and it's done a couple of kernel compiles so far. It seems that the front case fan isn't doing much--it doesn't seem to blow much air at all, but then it's partway blocked from it's mounting hardware, and really doesn't have a good source to draw from. Maybe I'll move it to the top of the case to blow more air in. Hmm, now that I'm stable at 210/83, maybe I should play with voltage and go for 250 :) Does anyone have any experience with this? In the old days, voltage regulators and power transistors and such hot-running ICs usually were not just attached to their heatsinks bare, but were smeared with heatsink/thermal compound first in order to provide better heat transfer than a bare connection would provide. yes, do this. It was the difference between running stably and not. However, I have gathered that the typical CPU heatsink is just put on bare. Is this just laziness on the part of assemblers or is there some legitimate reason to think the heatsink compound is not needed with CPUs? Laziness. It should really be there.

Various configuration issues
Hello, I purchased Debian 1.3 a couple of weeks ago (with donation) and I installed once already. I mucked things up a little and reinstalled. My first linux was SLS, then Slackware, then Redhat, and now Debian. I like the Debian philosophy so I'm going to stay with it. My first configuration issue is installing Netscape Communicator. On my previous install I used netscape's install script but I'd like to do it via dpkg so the software will be registered with the system. I already have the communicator tar file, I need a .deb file and instructions on how to make dpkg install it. The second thing I'd like is to be able to mount my DOS vfat drives (/mnt/c /mnt/d) so that user michael has rwx permission for the drives. I want to do this so that when I run netscape I can configure it to use my Win95 Netscape files. Does that work? The third thing is that when I run pon as root everything is fine. But when I run it as michael I get permission denied on two of the /etc/ppp scripts. I think it is the out script and the chat script. I did add michael to PID in the /etc/groups file(pid:x:michael or something like that, does x mean no password?) And lastly, I need a program that lets me adjust my XFConfig file while the server is running (S3 805 chip). I need to adjust my screens diminsions a little because when I adjust it via monitor controls it mucks up some of the Win95 adjustments. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

One problem which I'm encountering right now is that wwwoffle wants glibc6, and I've been taking the moderate approach to upgrades, i.e.: the latest stable. So, I'm thinking of running a squid version since wwwoffle requires glibc6, but there's a squid version that'll use 5. I like glibc6, I just don't want the pains of an unstable release, even though I have room for a spare distro on my hd. Sometimes you might be surprised at what you can do by compiling the program yourself. The gimp .99.15 package in the Debian distribution claims it needs libc6, but if you get the source distribution yourself you will find it compiles just fine under libc5.

XFree86 SVGA server has a problem...
I've had quite a few problems using XFree86 on my Debian installation. I have a K6-233 with 64MB SDRAM and a Matrox Millenium II video card. I was told to upgrade XFree86 to 3.3.1 to get Millenium II support. After that, X was working fine, but would only load the VGA16 server; I wanted better resolution. So I was told to edit my /etc/X11/Xserver file to put SVGA where VGA16 was. Then I loaded X and the server would load, quit back to text mode, and I would see errors like 'X server error: you do not have permission to load this server. I tried changing it back to VGA16, to no avail. What's going on? -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: K6 and Debian (and heatsinks)

This is why I always put heatsink goop on the chip, without it the heatsink/fan doesn't do much. The problems you can get from an overheating processor are varied and can be quite subtle. I'd rather not have some odd problem because someone decided 0.10$ worth of thermal compound was too much trouble. Basically, if the tempurature of your chip is higher than the tempurature of the heat sink you are in trouble. I've seen heat sinks with what appears to be ductape on the bottom (It isn't though) and that doesn't seem to do much of anything. Be sure to realize that some Pentium chips dissapate ~20 watts of power, that's ALOT of heat, the chip can go from room tempurature to untouchably hot in about 20 seconds! If you have a Cyrix chip then be sure to use set6x86 to enable the power saving mode, it will keep the chip cooler than a Pentium if your machine is mostly idle.

building twin
There was some discussion about this a couple of months ago, but with a 486, as well as a configuration that let me play with it without compiling, I didn't follow everything. Now I'm trying to build it, and during configure get:| checking for dnet_ntoa in -ldnet... (cached) no checking for dnet_ntoa in -ldnet_stub... (cached) no which packages should these be in?

Re: Various configuration issues

On my previous install I used netscape's install script but I'd like to do it via dpkg so the software will be registered with the system. I already have the communicator tar file, I need a .deb file and instructions on how to make dpkg install it. The install wrapper is in /hamm/non-free.

Once you have it, copy the communicator tarball to /tmp and install the netscape-wrapper debian package. dpkg -i netscape*.deb The second thing I'd like is to be able to mount my DOS vfat drives (/mnt/c /mnt/d) so that user michael has rwx permission for the drives. I want to do this so that when I run netscape I can configure it to use my Win95 Netscape files. Does that work? Mounting is no problem. Add this (as one line) to your /etc/fstab and it will be done automaticaly during boot. /dev/hda1 /mnt/c vfat rw,nodev,noexec,uid=0,gid=103,umask=007,quiet 0 0 I have a group dosdisks with gid 103. This line will allow access only to users who are in this group. But I think netscape will search for and save the config in ~/.netscape and there is no way to change it. Saving the config in ~/.progname is usually a good thing. The third thing is that when I run pon as root everything is fine. But when I run it as michael I get permission denied on two of the /etc/ppp scripts. I think it is the out script and the chat script. I did add michael to PID in the /etc/groups file(pid:x:michael or something like that, does x mean no password?) This was answerd by someone else already. This x is because you use shadow passwords. And lastly, I need a program that lets me adjust my XFConfig file while the server is running (S3 805 chip).

I like glibc6, I just don't want the pains of an unstable release, even though I have room for a spare distro on my hd. Sometimes you might be surprised at what you can do by compiling the program yourself. The gimp .99.15 package in the Debian distribution claims it needs libc6, but if you get the source distribution yourself you will find it compiles just fine under libc5. This may also be the case with wwwoffle. To be honest, wwwoffle sounds to be the more intelligent solution anyways. It is worth a try. I have wwwoffle_1.2.de in a backup directory, but it requires libc6 as well. So get wwwoffle.dsc, .diff.gz and .orig.tar.gz from source/ Do dpkg-source -x wwwoffle.dsc CD into the sourcedir. ./debian/rules binary Do a quick prayer.

I already have the communicator tar file, I need a .deb file and instructions on how to make dpkg install it. I think you put the tarballs in /tmp by default, but optionally I think you can put both the install package and the tarball in the same directory, then install the package, but I've never done it and I don't recall where I read that. I haven't learned the in's and out's of dpkg yet either, but you should be able to extract this info from the .deb (so you can read it) and then run dpkg without dselect.

I want to do this so that when I run netscape I can configure it to use my Win95 Netscape files. Does that work? I can think of a few reasons this might not be a good idea. First of all, vfat has no permissions, so there are security implications which I wouldn't want to open up without more understanding. Second, it's vfat, and I disapprove for ethical reasons. However, all you'd have to do to use your bookmarks from vfat would be to automount your vfat partition in /etc/fstab, and then make a symlink from your $HOME/.netscape/bookmarks.html to your vfat bookmarks. (man ln) Previously I've done something similar with /root/.netscape/bookmarks.ht ml.

I need to adjust my screens diminsions a little because when I adjust it via monitor controls it mucks up some of the Win95 adjustments So you don't just want to configure XF86, you want to fine tune your monitor timing. There's a package with tune in it (xvidtune?). Use the search key in dselect /, enter tune, and \ to repeat the search. I used the XFree86-HOWTO, which goes into great detail about how to manually adjust your monitor timing, far beyond the capabilities (for safety reasons) of that tune program, but unless you have a lot of time on your hands and like math, it might not be what you want. You might also want to visit your monitor manufacturer's website to see if linux monitor timings are posted, many do and if yours doesn't ask the webmaster or email the support dept to see if they're available. Sometimes monitors are sold under different names, and you may have to do some work to find out the real manufacturer. Sometimes the timing information is available in the monitor manual, too (if so, the XFree86-HOWTO can help decipher how this should fit into your config file, also see the relevant man pages).
