Using YARD to create boot floppies?
I'm trying to use YARD to create a boot/root floppy pair for emergencies. The trouble is that I can't seem to get them to work and I believe I'm missing something. The boot floppy works fine and prompts me to insert the root floppy. That goes fine, i.e., it gets to the login prompt. But at that point I'm stuck. The login root, and any login I try, yields the following message: login[12]: invalid password for `UNKNOWN' on tty1 Where is the UNKNOWN coming from? I've checked and double checked to /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files before the root floppy is created and everything looks fine. I've also copied /etc/login.defs and modified the CONSOLE line to look like CONSOLEconsole:tty1:tty2:tty3:tty4 with no success. I suspect I'm missing some library necessary for /bin/login, or I'm missing some security file somewhere. Anyone have any ideas? Anyone ever used YARD before on a Debian system? It wasn't packaged so I installed it from source. Specifics: Debian 2.0 beta (everything is the latest available from the frozen distribution).

Bo pppd not support IPX?
Hi, I've being trying to get a Win95 machine to dialin with a IPX connecting, but adding the settings for IPX as per the man page, causes pppd to fail, saying that the ipx settings are invalid. I take it this means the pppd isn't compiled with IPX support, as ipx is enables in the kernel. Why not? Is it enabled in the hamm one? I don't want to upgrade to hamm on this system yet, so I'll need to download another pppd, where from? Thanks, Tim. --- -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null
Re: scsi drive recognition problems
I've seen reports on the aic7xxx and linux-kernel mailing lists about device-negotiation error under the more recent versions of the driver. Many of them sounded quite similar to what you've described. You might try creating a custom install-disk, using an older version of the driver... you can find them at ftp://ftp.dialnet.net/pub/linux/aic7xxx/OLD/. I've been having problems when (re)installing the Debian distribution using the 2.0.8_1998-06-23 *14* installation disk images. On two different systems, with two different Adaptec controllers (AHA-2940AU and AHA-7880), I have had major problems getting the rescue disk to recognize my second scsi drive. I have not had this problem (at all) with the 2.0.6_1998-05-12 distribution disks. At times, I have had to revert to using the 2.0.6_1998-05-12 set, rather than use the newer 2.0.8 set (it's only been recently - and even then, with difficulty [I get timeout errors, if the second drive is recognized at all]) to get both disks to be 'seen' by the installation media. I am using one IBM DCAS-34330W, and one IBM DCAS-34330 (drives a and b in that order). I don't know what the problem is, other than maybe a 'newer and better' aic7xxx driver being used. There are no errors generated when the second drive isn't found; only when it is, and then (sometimes) timeout errors. -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null

xfstt final setup questions.
Hello everyone, I found a nice large thread in the June archives that talks about xfstt a good bit, it begins with http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-user-9806/msg00176.html I installed xfstt and copied over all the *.ttf fonts from the windows/fonts directory on the win95 partition to /var/ttfonts/winfonts and added the FontPath unix/:7100 entry to /etc/X11/XF86Config and when I first tried starting x it failed and spewed a ton of errors so I switched to a new virtual console and typed xfstt and then switched back and tried startx again and this time it worked, and I am able to select ttf fonts in Netscape now and WOW!!! what a difference, it's really nice. I'm assuming the problem lies with init.d but the above thread seemed to suggest that the latest xfstt installs the proper init.d for you so once you copy over the ttf fonts and add the FontPath line to XF86Config you are set to go, but I'm not there yet as I must manually start xfstt in another console. So what do I need to do? Thank you everyone, Chris -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null

Leafnode segfaulting in texpire fetch
Texpire started segfaulting on me a couple days ago, right
at the very beginning of the program. Today, fetch also started
segfaulting. It's working now, but I just wanted to let people know in
case it happens to anyone else.
Purging and reinstalling leafnode (1.4-10) did not help, but deleting
/var/spool/news (230MB) and reinstalling fixed it. I suspect one of the
configuration files got corrupted, but I'm not sure. (I'll have to
re-download all the news, but a lot of it was supposed to have expired
anyway.)

Re: SOLUTION? how to hold mail in another machine temporarily
is the next most preferred contact. Host B knows that it is not the final destination (because of the MX record for host A) so it queues the mail in /var/spool/mqueue (if it's a linux box). Host B will attempt to deliver that mail for as long as the timeout period allows. That's correct. I just thought I'd add that you don't want to list host A in your sendmail.cw file (the list of domains for whom you want to accept mail). Since you said you have to put aliases on host B, it made me wonder if you were doing that. You don't want sendmail to accept the mail, per se, you just want it to relay it [eventually] to A.

Using 2.1.108 kernel
Hello all: Yesterday I tried to get the 2.1.108 kernel up and running. I did get it running however I hand one problem, may ethernet card (3Com 3C905 vortex) stopped. I am currently running Debian's latest released kernel 2.0.34 and all is find. With the 2.1.108 kernel, ifconfig reports the NIC is up and running. Additionally I can ping the network interface from the machine that is running the 108 kernel, but I can't access anything on the network. One note, the kernel seems to add a route and the /etc/init.d/network file adds a route for that network interface. Any ideas or thought on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

If I run apt-get update I get a message that the system integrety is ok. But I was attempting to install kernel 2.0.34 using dselect and I discovered the following dependency problem: A number of important packages (gcc, glut3, dpkg-dev, alien, kernel 2.0.34 etc) all recommend (if not require) libc-dev. This appears to provided by libc5-dev or libc6-dev. I assume I want libc6-dev?! However, whenever I select libc6-dev in deselect it gives me a dependency error with libc6! The corresponding error with apt-get dselect-upgrade is the following: -- Updating package status cache...done Checking system integrity...ok Sorry, but the following packages are broken - this means they have unmet dependencies: libc6-dev: Depends:libc6 - AND if I dont select libc6-dev then dselect unmarks alien, rpm, gcc ,etc! This is definitely a vicous circle! Has anyone else had these problems? The apt-get -f dist-upgrade went pretty much ok- it kicked me out near the very end without installing imagemagick4g but I used dpkg for this and everything else seems ok.

Apt upgrade
Has anyone been able to use the apt upgrade method to Hamm? I get all sorts of problems. First of all the installed system says it wants perl 5.004 I think. It has the following questions require 5.004; Now my poor self is trying to reamin truly Debian and I have not seen perl version 5.004. Then it complains about there not being File::stat; I guess its because there is no correct perl version. Secondly using the sources.list file deb http://ftp1.us.debian.org/debian frozen main contrib non-free deb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian frozen main contrib non-free deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/binary-$(ARCH)/ which was the example file posted by someone on how to upgrade using apt I get the following error messages: Fetched 1420k in 0s (4282k/s) Updating package file cache... E: Opening /var/state/apt/lists/ftp.debian.org_debian_dists_frozen_main_binary-i386_Packages - ifstream::ifstream (2 No such file or directory) Anybody knows what is going on?

Compiling the kernel?
Hello, I'm a fairly new Linux user, and am really starting to enjoy Linux and the Debian distribution. I'm running Hamm which I have downloaded and installed in bits and pieces with the help of dftp and dpkg. I also have the KDE beta4 desktop, the glib version of Communicator 4.05, and the Tkdesk file manager. I'm impressed - not bad at all! Anyway, I'm trying to learn how to configure and compile the kernel. I have the 2.0.33 kernel source and header packages properly installed (dpkg is happy anyway), and the /usr/include links set up correctly as stated in the source documentation. I then do the following: cd /usr/src/linux make mrproper make xconfig (then configure, save, and exit) make dep make clean make zImage The compile proceeds for a few minutes, and then exits with these lines: as86 -0 -a -o bootsect.o bootsect.s make[1]: as86 Command not found make[1]: *** [bootsect.o] Error 127 make[1]: Leaving directory 'usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.33/arch/i386/boot' make: *** [zImage] Error 2 It does leave a vmlinuz image file in /usr/src/linux which is about the same size as my current kernel, but when I install it in /boot and run lilo, it complains about kernel image too large, or similar words. I restored the original so it's no problem as far as running, but does anyone have an idea what the problem might be, or where to read up on it? Will appreciate any help.

Sound Card
Just a quick question... I have a plug play soundcard (sb clone). Right now I have the kernel using it as WSS. The sound often cracks, and I can only control DSP Mic volume with mixers. Is this a problem with WSS, or could it be a problem with my isapnp.conf file? I just want to know before I spend 8 hours trying to fix it. :) BTW, I'm pretty sure the brand is Crystal, but that's all I remember. joe pgpzpN4sUuTYf.pgp Description: PGP signature

Thanks Tom Hi Tom, you should install the following package (pasted from dselect description): +bin86 - 16-bit assembler and loader +This is the as86 and ld86 distribution written by Bruce Evans. It's a +complete 8086 assembler and loader which can make 32-bit code for the 386+ +processors (under Linux it's used only to create the 16-bit bootsector and +setup binaries). usually if you compile the kernel with make zImage the compressed (installable) kernel image is in /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/zImage. use this one for lilo, loadlin or however you start your system. don't forget to compile (make modules) and install (make modules_install) the kernels modules also Cheers Reinhold -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null

Re: Compiling the kernel?
Bob, Thanks. Looks like I had more than one problem here. I take it I should reinstall the 2.0.32 kernel headers package then also? I was confused about that and it didn't look right so I removed it.

Re: Compiling the kernel?
Reinhold, Yes I did the make modules and make modules_install, but I left that out since I didn't get far enough for that to be an issue. There was no image file in the arch/i386/boot directory (where I was expecting it to be), only in /usr/src/linux, which was strange, but is likely caused by my incorrect setup. Thanks for the tip on bin86. I don't know how I missed that, as it wasn't a dependancy for any package I installed. Between you and Bob, I've got some things to look into.

What I have been trying to do is set qmail, which I think I have gotten set up but I don't know. I have tried to install Elm about 300 times today with debian packages and compiling it myself, but none of that works either. If I try and install the Debian package for Elm it complains that smail is not configured. Do I have to have smail configured in order to use Elm. I would really like to use qmail. I have also tried to install Pine. I just need a MUA running so I can see if qmail is setup right. Any help on this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Compiling the kernel?
Well, the official Debian position is to link to the 2.0.32 headers,
however it should probably also work with 2.0.3{3|4}, as I doubt that
there are any significant changes (although I haven't checked).
See /usr/doc/libc6/FAQ.Debian.gz for the details (this is somewhat
controversial, particularly among non-debianites).
Here's what I have in /usr/src (as installed by default when I upgraded to
hamm):
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 1024 Mar 23 21:11 kernel-headers-2.0.32

Smail has somehow gotten halfway installed on my system and it wont go away.

Another way is to look into /var/lib/dpkg/info/smail.prerm and see what causing the problem. No-brainer approach would be to edit this file and put exit 0 right after #!/bin/sh line. I would hightly recommend execute the following: /etc/init.d/smail stop update-inetd --comment-chars \#disabled\# --disable smtp I myself wouldn't do it this way, but try to understand what does the smail.prerm wants to make it happy.

However next week we will have to install Debian on a PC which has no access to our network so we want to create a CD starting from the current mirror. unfortunately the mirror is located on a SUN and none of my Linux machines has enough harddisk to contain a CD. I tried installing the sources for debian-cd but they don't seem to contain any documentation. -( Thanks in advance, Nico Well, it is also possible to use CD images that other people have created (assuming that your SUN has good network connectivity and that it has hard drive space to spare) - if you want to make a CD for installing a bo (aka 1.3 or 1.3.1) Debian system you can get the official CD image in any number of places - the www.debian.org site should tell you where in detail. If instead you want a CD that can create a hamm (aka 2.0, or at this point really 2.0-beta, since officially 2.0 doesn't exist yet) system, you can look at the webpage http://www.uk.debian.org/debian-cd/cd-images/ , where Phillip Hands has put his 2.0-beta CD images (I'd suggest only using the 2.0beta1 images on that site, however). I know this isn't exactly what you asked about, but it may be much easier to go get someone else's CD image than trying to nudge the debian-cd scripts into working on a SUN.

Mutt configuration
Hi everyone, I have a problem configuring Mutt. All mail, unless I delete it, is saved in my spoolfile. I'm trying to configure the mbox-hook command to move all read mail to a different folder (mbox) but am unable to get it to work. The spool file is the users default mail file in /var/spool/mail/. The mbox file is the usual ~/mbox. In /etc/Muttrc I added the line mbox-hook $spoolfile ~/mbox I've also tried specifying the full pathname in place of $spoolfile and ~/mbox. I've tried swapping the spoolfile and mbox args in case I misread the syntax in the docs. Obviously I'm not doing something right. Any suggestions?

Re: dos partition long filenames
You also need to specify the vfat file system when you mount a partition. For example to mount hda1 as vfat: mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt I think if you don't specify vfat, it will mount as msdos by default, which will give you the truncated file names. Run the command df -T to see the file system of each mounted partition. Tom David B. Wilson wrote: Hi, I'm running a kernel (2.0.3something) with the FAT32 patch.
