Unable to start program
Hi, Sometimes I see a program (I think) but I can't run it, even though I'm using root. Like this one: -rwxr-xr-x XF86_S3V 2043768 I thought I could at least run it and get an error, but Linux says: command not found. I had this too when installing fortune.

Netgear 10/100tx nic
Hi all,
I'm trying to use a few netgear FA310TX 10/100 cards ('cause they're cheap!).
Although they are based on the DEC 21140-AF chip (tulip) they don't seem to
work well (or at all) with even the most recent tulip driver. I tried a
Genuine DEC nic (500tx) with a 21140 and it worked fine. Anyone know of a
driver that has been tweeked for the netgear?
Thanks!

Can't get my mouse to work
I've installed Debian 1.3.1 on my Gateway Pentium Pro and I can't get the mouse to work. I've received a lot of help from Rob Browning so I can supply a lot of information but we have run out of ideas and could use some help. Here's what we know: The mouse is a PS/2 mouse. It works fine under Windows 95. It does not work at all under Linux. When I run XF86Setup, I select PS/2 mouse and set the device to be /dev/psaux and apply the changes, but moving the mouse does not move the cursor. The /dev/psaux file exists and looks right. I believe the kernel has PS/2 support included because in /var/log/messages there's a line that says PS/2 Auxiliary pointing device detected -- driver installed. But in /proc/interrupts there's no mention of a PS/2 device or a mouse. I've also tried disabling both serial ports and the parallel port in the BIOS to see if there was some IRQ conflict, but that made no difference. So... what should I try next? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

What do I need in initrd to load kernel modules? [long]
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- I sent this yesterday, but I wasn't subscribed to the list at that time so I am 90% sure the message didn't get through. If it did, my apologies. Short version of question: == How do I load kernel modules from an initial ramdisk? Long version of question: = This is a bit complicated (more so than appears from the short version of the question above), so I hope you will bear with me. I have a parallel port SparQ drive which I want to install Debian 1.3.1 on, to boot from my Windows NT laptop. To get the kernel to recognise the SparQ device I need to add the Parport modules to it http://www.torque.net/linux-pp.html. As my boot partition is going to be on the SparQ cartridge, obviously I can't put the modules there. Instead, I plan to put them on an initial ramdisk (initrd). The idea is that the kernel will load the initrd image from a small FAT partition on my NT's hard drive and load the modules from the ramdisk. Having done that, it will be able to recognise my SparQ media and continue booting from there. Much of what I need to do I have already done, or know how to do. For example: * I have got the kernel modules that I need to access the SparQ drive, and can insert these into the kernel using insmod from Linux on my old DX-66. * I have copied a full Debian installation onto a SparQ cartridge from my DX-66, and created a swap partition on it too. * I have made a FAT partition on my Windows NT machine to hold the kernel, initrd image file and lilo boot sector, for use with the NT boot loader. * I have set up lilo with the initrd option on my DX-66, and a test linuxrc file is running from the ramdisk correctly. * I know how to include a proc filesystem on my initial ramdisk and to change /proc/kernel/real_boot_device to point to my SparQ drive. * I know how to use mknod to create /dev/pda1 ... /dev/pda5 on my initial ramdisk as the device files for the partitions on my SparQ cartridge. What I cannot seem to do is to get a shell script that loads the kernel modules to run as linuxrc (ie. the file that automatically runs from the initial ramdisk). In fact, I can't get *anything* to run as linuxrc, aside from the test linuxrc file referred to in the documentation (a binary which prints out environment variables). When I use any other file as linuxrc, the kernel mounts the initial ramdisk and then does one of three things, depending on how I have set up lilo.conf: (a) If I have specified root=/dev/hda3 (the root partition on my DX 66) in lilo.conf, mounts this file system and runs init, without running linuxrc at all (apart from the test linuxrc referred to above). However I know that initrd has mounted properly, because it is accessible in /initrd when the system has finished booting from my hard disk. I can also manually execute linuxrc from there. (b) If I have specified root=/dev/pda1 in lilo.conf, I get a kernel panic. This indicates that the kernel modules to access the SparQ drive have not been successfully loaded. (As an aside, even the *test* linuxrc file which works under (a) above, doesn't work when I specify root=/dev/pda1, so it seems the kernel panic is occuring even before the linuxrc file is normally executed.) (c) If I have specified root=/dev/ram in lilo.conf, the kernel hangs as soon as it has mounted linuxrc. No kernel panic; it just hangs. (Again, interestingly, this hang seems to occur before the linuxrc file would normally be executed, because even the test linuxrc file that I can get to work under option (a) does not run when I specify root=/dev/ram.) The documentation suggests that *any* executable file can be run as linuxrc, including shell scripts, but nothing I have tried (apart from the test executable mentioned above) has worked. For example, I have tried using simple executables such as /bin/ash and /bin/ls as linuxrc files, but to no avail. I have also tried to run shell scripts as linuxrc (also copying the appropriate shell to the initial ramdisk) but with the same result. I figured that the reason must be because my pseudo-root file system does not have the correct files and libraries required by the linuxrc files that I need to run. The only files I have on my initrd file system are insmod (to load the modules), a shell (to run any scripts), /proc (so that I can change real_root_device), /dev (with a few files such as ttys1 and pda1) and the modules themselves. I don't know what files *must* be in the root file system to enable an executable to run or modules to be loaded, but apparently the files I have put there are not enough. Having concluded that this is the reason for my problem, I have tried to create a proper root file system on my initrd in various ways. First, I have copied the initrd root file system that is created by the Debian 1.3.1 rescue disk. This works fine if I don't mess with it (ie. the Debian

I curently use this netgear card. It is a great card because it is cheap
and uses the latest Digital Tulip chip. I have recently upgraded to
frozen and it is working presently. Prior to frozen I had a stable bo
system running. I had no luck with this card until I upgraded to kernel
2.0.32 which contains the .79v of Donald's tulip driver in the kernel.
You must use at least kernel 2.0.32 and compile in support for the tulip
card.

I get the feeling that most, if not all of the people who

be...). Pine does indeed offer filtering. It's different than what
procmail does, but they still call it filtering. If you open up the pine
configuration and scroll down a ways, you'll see a couple of options for
display-filters and sending-filters. A good example of pine filters
is the pinepgp package, which automates pgp signing, key verification,
encryption, and decryption. I used the attached filter, part of the
pinepgp package, to PGP sign this message. I don't know anything about
how to write one, but, as you'll see by viewing the attachment, a pine
filter can be a simple shell script. But I don't know which arguement
to the script is what. I'd be willing to bet pine filter writing is
documented in the pine-docs package (the contents of which are

This must be a mistake, not ? There's nothing wrong with those files. Actualyy, they're just links to the real files. If you look on your CD, you'll find in every directory a file named TRANS.TBL which keeps the corespondence between the long name of the file and its MSDOS name. Also, it is stated there if the file is a directory (D), link (L) or file (F). Under Linux, you'll see the CD with long names and links (somehow similar with Win95 shortcuts). And a suggestion for those who maintain the Debian ftp sites: can you put a TRANS.TBL file in the non-free but which should have F instead of L. I say this for the following reason: at the office I have an Win95 machine with a CD burner. I can burn Joilet or ISO CDs, but not Linux CDs. When I download from msdos-i3 directory I get all the files that have links to them in msdos-i3. But they come with MSDOS names. If you'll put a TRANS.TBL with those MSDOS names and F in front of them I will we able to burn them on my CD using ISO. As I do not have Internet connection home (just e-mail), I have no other option to take non-free. (I have to agree that dselect is smart enough to find out which file contain which package even if you change the name of the file: I came to this conclusion after burning a Joilet CD which, under Linux and without Joilet patch, looks like Win95 files from DOS.

Re: Hard Disk Size
Hi, IIRC, as long as you keep your boot sector/partition within the lower 1024 sectors of your hard drive you should be alright. I've got a 9.1 GB SCSI drive that works fine with my Debian system. As a thought, if Linux couldn't handle large filesystems I don't anyone would have bothered implementing RAID for Linux. :) It's already done. I'm running here with 2 0.5GB scsi disks as RAID-0 with /var mounted there. Also something like 20+20mb swap partitions on those drives - improves the systems responsivity a lot.

Linux freeform text database
Hi Debmeisters, This isn't specificically a Debian question, but I'm hoping that the combined knowledge locked up in this group might be able to point me in the right direction... I've recently acquired myself a little old laptop, which, with help from the group, is now loaded up and chugging along with Debian installed on it. This year I'm also doing my Masters, and so I'm going to have to be keeping track of a whole lot of literature and ideas and things like that. I've decided that my brain isn't up to the task, so I might need a bit of software help :) What I'm basically looking for is something along the lines of a freeform text database that will run under Linux (prefereable GPL'd or Freeware). Another possibility is DOSEMU, but native linux would be the prefered choice. Something which I can just use as a searchable cardfile or something like that would be good, but I have yet to find something like that that'll work under linux. I have got edb, which is a database that runs under emacs, but i'm not yet sure if that's really what I'm after. Also do know if I can be bothered working out how to create a new database (am I the only one who can't remember a million M-x emacs commands?). Surely there must be something like this around? I can't be the only linux user who has ever thought something like this would be A Good Thing. Any advice, tips, pointers, or anything like that would be greatly appreciated!

Hallo, at first please excuse my very bad english, but i have a big problem by installing the DEBIAN-Linux on my new Pentium. In the last years i have used a 486DX2/80 machine with 32 MB RAM. Its works very good. There ar no problems with Linux. Now i have additional an Pentium 166 with 32MB RAM too. Win95 and Win NT and OS/2 are working verry good. If i trial to install my Debian-Linux with a Boot-Disk (extractet from the CD) the machine will break this booting after the Message now booting the kernel . The machine goes down and starts a new booting with exact the same Process. This will never end. My guess is that your new machine has a hardware configuration that cannot be handled by a 2.0.33 kernel.

Re: Problems creating a bootable Debian installation on a Jaz drive (fwd)
Hello all -- I have recently been trying to make a bootable Debian installation on a Jaz drive. I did this by using 'cp -a' to transfer files from my scsi hard drive to the Jaz drive. I then changed the Jaz drive version of /etc/fstab so that it would mount /dev/sdb1 (the jaz drive) as / and commented out the mount lines for the normal scsi hard drive / and /home partitions. I made a boot floppy for this configuration (copied vmlinuz to a temporary location, used rdev to set the root device as /dev/sdb1 on the temporary copy, then used dd to transfer that copy to a floppy). The problem is /proc -- I have tried three different things with it, and all have their problems... 1.) If I cp -a the whole /proc directory to the Jaz drive, the boot (with the boot floppy using /dev/sdb1 as the root partition) will proceed okay until the initial login prompt. Then it basically freezes, and after a wait, starts producing lines like the following: Don't copy the contents of /proc. It is not a normal filesystem. The `files' that it shows are actually a fancy interface to the kernel, they do not exist anywhere on a disk. You have to have a directory /proc though. The proc file system is used by programs such as top and ps. scsi: aborting command due to timeout: ... at which point it is necessary to push the reset button and restart the machine, and boot into the Linuz which used the scsi hard drive as the root partition. 2.) If I make a /proc directory on the Jaz drive, but do not copy the contents of /proc from my hard drive to the Jaz drive, the same happens as above, except that it doesn't get all the way to the prompt before the scsi timeouts start; it gets through the lines about starting sshd, then does what I described above. (If it helps, in a normal boot, the next lines printed out at boot time after the one about sshd are ones concerning starting remote file services and such.) 3.) If I totally ignore doing anything about the /proc directory on the Jaz, the boot will proceed and will get to the prompt okay, but will complain during the boot process. For example, after the message about checking the root file system, it will print out the following: [ apparently many programs use /proc in some way or other ] My advice would be to compile a new kernel (make-kpkg) that includes the proc file system, not as a module, and then see what happens.

Where did my init.d/boot go?
Since hamm was frozen, I started the process of updating my bo system. I've been running hamm now for a week or so, and using FTP to update all of my out-of-date packages. Last night I installed some of the new packages, ( of which the only important one I remember was sysvinit ), and when I rebooted my system, I was no longer able to open a tty, and thus even though I logged in, and Linux validated my password, it was unable to give me a shell. After examining the boot messages, and seeing a line that said 'unable to find /etc/init.d/boot', I booted up from a beautiful little slackware rescue disk, and saw that my boot was now boot.OLD. How do I find out what package did this? I assume that whatever package moved my boot to boot.OLD, was intending to write a new file. Do I need this new boot file? My system seems to be running fine w/ my old boot. Bill Van Devender -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Printing with an old tractor
Hello, I have a problem that should have a really simple answer that I nevertheless have not been able to find. I have an old, powerweak computer into which I have just been able to fit emacs and latex. This works fine, but: How to print DVI files? The printer I dispose of is an old Citizen dot-matrix, I suppose 180 DPI. I could theoretically use ghostscript for printing, but I'm confident that that would be *very slow indeed*. Is there a slimmer way of getting DVI files onto a dot-matrix printer? Best, Johan W. Klüwer. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: Linux freeform text database
I've used a thing called grok some, but not extensively. It may be just what you are looking for. From the help intro: Grok is a program to present unstructured data in a row/column format using an index card paradigm. Each database row (line) is a card; each database column (field) is an item in the card. Items can be presented in the card as various types and shapes. The presentation of a database is determined by a form. The forms can be easily edited with a graphic layout tool. It comes with a couple of examples. It runs well under linux and other unix systems, which is a big plus for me. There is not currently a debian grok package, but there are linux binaries available.

patch for 2-step mirror-ing
Hi! Phone fees prevent me to mirror over my modem. But since I have access to a fast connection at my university, I practice a 2-step method: Make a list of files to get on my local machine runing mirror -n other options | sed -n 's/^get file \(.*\) as .*/\1/' and use the fast connection to put them on a tape. Then I restore the tape at home and rerun mirror (still working on an offline sollution). Unpatched mirror needs to be connected during the list generation - even when used with a local_ls_lR_file (uhhh - expensive !!) I modified mirror (2.8-16bo) to avoid staying/getting online when run with -n and a local_ls_lR_file. I *think* I didn't break mirror when called without -n and/or local_ls_lR_file. Since someone asked for a similar solution some time ago, I think others may also be interested in this patch. I'd appreciate, if someone could test it. Since it is 2K gzipped I don't want to bother the list with it. Please ask and I'll send it to you. Maybe this could be include in the debian-package and/or forwarded upstream if it stands the test?

EXT2 fs questions
Lately I was forced into single user mode while booting because e2fsck had discovered some problems with the HD. I was able to pass that after e2fsck -c. However, althought the fs is now states itself as clean, running e2fsck -f still shows some errors (problems ?). 1) Could it be that this is happening becuase it is an IDE disk which is suposed to repair badblocks by itself ? 2) Should I do something about these errors ? 3) I was trying to run badblocks, but failed. Probably becuase I didn't supplied badblocks all the parameters it required, such as the block size. How can I get this information ? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Linux freeform text database

I've recently acquired myself a little old laptop, which, with help from the group, is now loaded up and chugging along with Debian installed on it. This year I'm also doing my Masters, and so I'm going to have to be keeping track of a whole lot of literature and ideas and things like that. I've decided that my brain isn't up to the task, so I might need a bit of software help :) What I'm basically looking for is something along the lines of a freeform text database that will run under Linux (prefereable GPL'd or Freeware). Another possibility is DOSEMU, but native linux would be the prefered choice. Something which I can just use as a searchable cardfile or something like that would be good, but I have yet to find something like that that'll work under linux. I have got edb, which is a database that runs under emacs, but i'm not yet sure if that's really what I'm after. Also do know if I can be bothered working out how to create a new database (am I the only one who can't remember a million M-x emacs commands?). Surely there must be something like this around? I can't be the only linux user who has ever thought something like this would be A Good Thing. Any advice, tips, pointers, or anything like that would be greatly appreciated! How much documents or records should you database hold ?? If it't only a few, I would use simple text files (eventually with mail-like headers) and search them with grep. Or built a small Tcl/Tk + perl frontend for it. If you like to have binary files in your database, you could code them with mime. I know this isn't a real database. But you can use it, if you will not have much documents in it. Have fun with it.

Help About SPARC
Hi! Does anybody have any experience with UltraSparc and GNU/Linux? I know bo is not made for Sparc, but i think hamm is. A friend of mine installed latest available version of RedHat for Sparc (4.2), and is having troubles adjusting keyboard layout (is an spanish version of keyboard). Apparently no kbd-0.XX.rpm can be found in the distribution. Anybody has tried hamm in a Sparc? If so, is it available in NFS somewhere? This friend of mine needs an stable distribution, since he wants to work on his projects (he is a physicist), not to spend hours and hours investigating how to set the system up (unlike me ;-) The machine had Solaris installed, but I persuaded him to try a GNU/Linux system, so he did. Free SoftWare better than propietary (i.e. obscure ;-) SoftWare !!! Is Debian 2.0 going to be available for Sparc?

I'm not certain, but I don't think that the end result (ld.so.cache?) is in any way affected by parse order. The dlinker (1.9.7 anyways) has some mechanism by which it `knows' if the app needs a libc5-linked binary or libc6. BTW, what are the ENOENT(ld.so.preload)s that I get so often? Can I use this file to improve efficiency by creating it or something? 14 March '98 manpage says: File containing a whitespace separated list of ELF shared libraries to be loaded before the program. libraries and an ordered list of candidate libraries.

Cloning workstations
With a lot of luck I've succeeded in putting up a hamm system from scratch. Now I want to make identical installations on a couple of machines with almost identical hardware. What is the easiest way? Can it be automated (I bet many people has done this before..)? If I have to do it by tarring the disk to an NFS-server and then booting on a floppy an tarring up to the target, which files do I have to change with system-dependent info? Another question: I am going to transform some half-useless Pentium60- based win95 systems into UNIX workstations :-), but they only have 400MB-disks so I thought I'll have to put some stuff (perhaps /usr?) on NFS. How well does this work with Debian's Package System? It would be nice to fill the 400 MB with at least the most important stuff (editor, TeX and stuff) so they'll be at least partially useable even if the network goes down. So perhaps I could install that barebones system on the workstations and a complete install on the NFS-server, but I can't (can I?) force the installation of certain programs to /usr/bin and some just to /bin. Of course, I still want to take advantage of Debian's excellent upgrading system.
