CVS Version: 1.9.29-1 breaks wrappers?
Hi, I just upgraded my system from cvs 1.9.26 to 1.9.29 and now get this message: cvs checkout CVSROOT/modules cvs [checkout aborted]: -t/-f wrappers not supported by this version of CVS Does anybody know what gives? The html docs still have the -t/-f wrapper stuff but it says something about not working with client/server CVS: The file `cvswrappers' defines the script that will be run on a file when its name matches a regular expresion. There are two scripts that can be run on a file or directory. One script is executed on the file/directory before being checked into the repository (this is denoted with the -t flag) and the other when the file is checked out of the repository (this is denoted with the -f flag). The `-t'/`-f' feature does not work with client/server CVS. ^^ ^ I guess I must have a client/server cvs? I am running it locally on the machine that hosts the repository. Is there any substitute for wrappers? Should I file a bug report. For now I have removed the wrapper commands. thanks, Stuart
Maxtor dynamic drive overlay

Hello all, I'm having problems with using apt-get dist-upgrade to get from Debian 2.0 to 2.1. My system currently has many slink packages installed, but not all of them, and I would like apt-get to just upgrade them all for me. I've got apt 0.1.9 installed and I've edited my /etc/apt/sources.list to point to frozen. I do a apt-get update and everything appears to be fine. However, apt-get dist-upgrade does nothing. Even though I have /etc/apt/sources.list pointing to frozen, it just upgraded a couple of packages (rvplayer, pine, some other things) and quit. Didn't upgrade my entire system... I know I have more outdated hamm packages than that. Also, I can't do apt-get install anything. It just says there is no installation candidates. I've double checked my /etc/apt/sources.list as I've said, and run apt-get update a thousand times. It simply doesn't seem to see that there are all these wonderful new packages out there to upgrade.

root disk
Hi all, After being a long-time loyal slackware user, I've decided that slackware has become to buggy and antiquated. I've looked around and debian looks like a good bet to me. Soo... here's where the problems begin: I've a scsi controller (Initio INI-9100 UW) on my machine that isn't supported by the 2.0 proper source tree. However, I found a patch for it, and it has applied cleanly to every kernel source I've tried it on (2.0.32 - 2.0.36) I've even made a boot disk with a kernel that supports this controller. Now, the problem I'm having, is that since this kernel patch seems to never have made its way into the kernel source tree proper, I can't find a debian boot disk that'll recognize my controller. So, I figure, I'll make a root disk that my boot disk can load as a ram disk. Now, I realize I have no clue where I might find the various thing I may need to be part of this root disk. Is there anywhere I can find such a root disk, or is there some way I can reverse engineer the rescue.bin boot disk in order to extract from it the install utility? any help would be much appreciated... -Pete Rijks http://www.nd.edu/~prijks \|/ Dept. of Computer Science and Engineering -*- University of Notre Dame (Class of 2000)/|\

Of those programs, all except dselect have `find again' invoked by slash enter (ie leave the search blank). Most of the exceptions to the slash are programs that are expecting you to type in text, and take the slash to be just something you're typing in. Don't know why dselect is an exception for find again, but it's a an exception for lots of UI things, so maybe it's just dselect...

NE2000 PCI Card
Hi, I'm not sure if this is the correct place to ask for help on this, but it may be something in Debian that's tripping me up. I'm trying to set up network support with Debian 2.0 running Linux 2.2.1. The machine is a K6-266MMX with 64MB of RAM. So far the Win95 side of the computer has the network up and running, so I'm pretty sure that the IP address and etc are correct. The problem I have right now is that the kernel won't recognize the NE2000 PCI card. A friend and I tried autoprobing it, and making it a module and loading it after compile, but neither has worked. We also tried to forcing recognition by putting an append line into LILO, but that didn't seem to work either. Are there any other ways to get the card recognized or did we miss a step or something? Thanks in advance, Ming Hsu Spiritus, minitus, invustrus appares. Tiny spirits of fire and light, find the ones I seek tonight. -Will O' the Wisp, Gargoyles.

Plus the fact I have to hard boot the system everytime it does that. Anyone else can help? What I would do is boot the linux rescue floppy and get to a shell and fdisk from there to set up your partitions. Once you've done that, do a dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hd?? bs=1024 count=1 then reboot, with a dos boot floppy, execute fdisk /mbr, format each dos partition with the /s option (format c: /s). The reason for the dd line is dos for some reason requires 5?? bytes of zeros at the beginning of its partition. Rather than look up the number (I'm pretty sure it's not something sensible like 512) I just suggested 1024 bytes of zeros.

Re: Sound configuration not in initial install
David Webster wrote: Well Windows and OS/2 don't seem to have a problem with letting you configure your sound stuff right up front. How hard is it to add a sound item to modconf screen used in in the Drivers Configuration phase of the install?. Afterall, these drivers are all modules and each could have it's own documentation for configuring io, irq, dma, etc... if need be. We seem to have no trouble putting dozens of ethernet card configs in the net option. What makes sound so different? Sound support in Linux is dependent upon the number of people willing to work on the project. Linux's popularity has always been with the server 'crowd', those wanting to use Linux as a web/file/print server. Thus the presense of so many ethernet cards supported in the kernel's config. Personnaly, I don't know why they decided to move some of the config out of the kernel, and into /dev and /proc. Start with http://alsa.jcu.cz/ (Advanced Linux Sound Architexture), or maybe someone on debian has a clue. If Linux is ever going to seriously challenge Windows on the desktop we've got be able to allow newbies to completely configure their system right up front without the daunting requirement to go through a complex kernel reconfig and recompile. The Debian Kernel-Package is a nice start for this but a lot of the complexities should be hidden and auto-recompile of the kernel with only the options the user has selected should just simply happen. If we all agreed that Linux was 'gunning' for the Windows desktop market then we'd all agree to the above. However, not everyone is in agreement on that point, except that many *do* agree Linux is competing head-to-head against Windows NT. Many developers are simply *uninterested* in the desktop environment. Work is being done (look at the ALSA website) but not as fast on the sound issue as compared to work on the kernel itself. It all depends on the numbers of developers and testers willing to work on the sound issue. Also, part of the problem is the current absence of a sound standard for Linux. That's what ALSA intends to be, but that means the people behind this are starting from scratch (well, using OSS/Lite as a base, but their API will be from scratch). The Debian install script is nice (better than RH). But they should allow us to configure our sound right up front, even if it means a large list of modules in a sound option, much like what the net option is becoming. The inital dselect should then give you a very base system including the packages needed for a recompile and then go straight into a recompile process building the custom kernel from the user's initial options. (including sound). After the new kernel is booted we should then bring up the dselect (optionally) again with all the various package combinations as it is now. That describes what many hope the end result will be. i know that is wishful thinking, but as soon as I get my ssytem finally configued the way I want it I intend to begin working a completely new installation system as my first order of business. Something much, much more familiar to Windows crowd complete with documentation that actually shows you how to do it. Its not wishful thinking. First, take a look at the 'linuxconf' project. I don't know if its Debian compatible, but they may be already doing some of the things that you describe. i also find it quirky that the kernel-package documentation never tells you you have to edit your /etc/modules file if you add/delete modules from your kernel.or simply edits it for you. If you have new modules that require optional paraemter you also have to manually edit the /etc/conf.modules files (more nonsense). Plus the thing never seems to get all the modules copied to the /lib/modules/X.X.XXX path(particularly the fs modules) nor is the module.dep file ever 100% correct. I hope to maybe work on that someday, too. This Unix culture has a long way to go in the ease of use category. But no question about it the efficiency and performance is unparralleled.

As root, run pnpdump -c foo look at foo; this should contain all the settings you want. If it is a PCI card and the above doesn't work, then try lspci -vv bar In either case, having set up the kernel OK, you'll want to move foo to /etc/isapnp.conf; this will run the script you created earlier at boot-up (and initialise the card to those settings). It's also worth looking at Documentation/sound in your linux source tree, and using the latest kernel (2.2.1) HTH, Matthew p.s a few notes on recompiling your kernel. I prefer menuconfig to xconfig (YYMV though).

The files are disk images so they can not be copied to the disk. You have to use rawrite2(on dos) or dd(on linux) to put them on the disk. See the install documentation in the directory where you found the images. If you try to mcopy the file to an msdos floppy, or try to cp the file to a mounted floppy, clearly the disk image will be too large. You might try this: cp disk_image_name /dev/fd0 I have used this to create install disks in the past. Has something changed? Nothing has changed. You are coping directly to the device as opposed to copying to a mounted file system. The image files are complete disk images in a raw binary format, including the filesystem. That is why they can not be copied to mounted file system. The file system its self takes up space on the disk. Try doing something like this on a blank formated disk that is in the drive but not mounted: DISCLAIMER THIS WILL DESTROY THE CONTENTS OF THE DISK. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. /DISCLAMER cp anyfile /dev/fd0 Then try to mount it. You can't because you have just destroyed the filesystem by doing a direct copy to the device and not the filesystem. -- Brian - Never criticize anybody until you have walked a mile in their shoes, because by that time you will be a mile away and have their shoes. - unknown Mechanical Engineering[EMAIL PROTECTED] Purdue University http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis -

smail - exim = mail now broken
Hi I am in the middle of setting up my internet mail on my Debian 1.3.1 system. I was using smail set for local mail delivered , and fetchmail to retrieve mail from my ISP at school. So local mail worked and ISP mail was delivered to me too. In looking through the mailing list archives I got the general feeling that sending mail via SMTP to my school, with smail would not work, because the FROM: header needs to be rewritten from [EMAIL PROTECTED] ( local machine) to [EMAIL PROTECTED] my internet mail. Most of the archives suggested exim, so I un-installed smail and setup exim, just like smail I ran the config program (eximconfig), and setup for local mail delivered option, figuring that I would start there and work my way up (since that is were I was with smail). Now mail does not work at all. In /var/log/exim/mainlog it says something like: [EMAIL PROTECTED] unknown mail domain , sending error message to root.. , [EMAIL PROTECTED] mail domain unknown message frozen. Fetchmail seems to be doing its job, forwarding mail to port 25, but exim gets the mail and has no idea what to do with it WHY? I setup exim exactly the same as smail, why does it not deliver? can some one help me get my mail back so I can move forward with getting it to send internet mail? thanks Ken

I'm trying to set up network support with Debian 2.0 running Linux 2.2.1. The machine is a K6-266MMX with 64MB of RAM. So far the Win95 side of the computer has the network up and running, so I'm pretty sure that the IP address and etc are correct. The problem I have right now is that the kernel won't recognize the NE2000 PCI card. A friend and I tried autoprobing it, and making it a module and loading it after compile, but neither has worked. We also tried to forcing recognition by putting an append line into LILO, but that didn't seem to work either. Are there any other ways to get the card recognized or did we miss a step or something? If you in the past used the NE2000 option it has now branched into 2 different options. i for ISA and 1 for PCI. The PCE one is below the NE2000 option. It ises the ne2k-pci module for PCI, IIRC.

Re: Installing Sound Card
Well, basicly, it's all been said how to get the card working. I hope you succeed at that. I was never able to get my card working, though. What you can do is this: WHenever setting up the sound options in kernel, do the loadable module support. As I was explained before, kernel will initialize the sound before isapnp kicks in with initializing the card itself, and you will have nothing. So just answer M ( At least in hamm it's this way) to Sound card support? question, and after you made your zImage, or bzImage, move to the modules directory and make modules Then reboot, etc etc. You should see no message saying Sound initialization started' Then to go the /usr/src/kernel-***/modules/ and insmod sound trace_init=1 (or init_trace=1) That should work.

Re: 3com 3C905B
I apologize for asking the question when it's been addressed so often, but the answers I've found in the mail archives haven't been simplistic enough for me. I have a hamm box freshly installed from CD. It has a 3COM 3c905B-TX NIC in it that doesn't seem to be recognized. I've about decided from the mail archives that the 2.034 kernel doesn't work with it. I do not know about 2.0.34 but it works with 2.0.35. I have a 3c905B and I have tested slink boot disks which came with 2.0.35. The current disk set, version 2.1.7, comes with 2.0.36, but the earlier disks worked fine with kernel 2.0.35 and 3c905B Ethernet card. I also have a Win95 box I can use to download packages/files. I assume I need to download the 2.035 kernel and install it. Can anyone give me detail instructions about what to get, where to get it, and how to install it so my NIC will start working (assuming this is the problem)? Do you mean instructions with compiling the kernel or getting the 3c905B working with 2.0.35 kernel? If you need help only with 3c905B I suggest you take a look at http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/vortex.html which is the home page for various 3c* drivers, including 3c905B. From the page you will find the latest driver, the one I have been using, and also precompiled binaries for 2.0.x kernels. If you trust binaries compiled by a stranger, you can get the 3c59x.o module I have been using from ftp://sunsite.tut.fi/pub/Local/linux-atm/tmp/3c59x.o MD5 checksum 56d45abc68e436e81cfab1637262b8d6 3c59x.o The module was compiled from 3c59x.c, version 0.99H which is the same version that you can find from the web page above. The module may work with 2.0.34 but you have to use insmod -f 3c59x.o since the module was compiled with 2.0.35 and you are using 2.0.34.

Thanks, Jim Mastracco * FINDINGS - On The Road http://www.geocities.com/Vienna/8207/nytletta.htm * * The file base14-1.exe should be base14-1.bin. I don't know if you made a typo in your message or if you renamed the file during the download. Assuming you're downloading to a DOS/Windows box, you'll need to download several files like this (base14-2.bin, etc, drv1440.bin, resc1440.bin) and you'll need rawrite.exe (or better, rawrite2.exe). Then at a DOS prompt, you'll use rawrite to copy the disk image to a floppy. IIRC, rawrite2 will prompt you for the image name (ie base14-1.bin) and the destination (ie A:), whereas rawrite will expect this info on the command line. MAKE SURE you have good quality floppies, and if you have any trouble reading one of them during the install, use another floppy and remake the image (and again and again until you get one that works - I've known people who have had to make four attempts before getting a floppy that works - floppies are notorious for failing on a linux install). Once you've got all the floppies made (7 I think), pop the first one in and reboot. This should start the install process. I would not expect the floppies to be readable by Win3.1's File Mangler (or any DOS/Win utilities); I believe the floppies are in a special format, but I'm not certain on this. Although you can run Linux on a 4 MB machine, you probably won't be able to run a graphical web browser (like Netscape) on it, because to my knowledge there are no graphical web browswers for Linux that will run without X Windows (I wish someone would develop one). By the time you get X and a browser installed, the machine would perform at less than a crawl. However, you can run lynx, which is a text-mode browser. It's very limiting in these days of the www, but it is at least a partial solution.

Here is the description of my system: I installed Red Hat package on my Pentium 200 MMX from local cdrom. A few days ago I installed Debian from scratch package by package on 486 with EGA and no CD-rom. The Red-hat problem: === mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt returns NFS character-set not found nfs_ch(..) but does mount the floppy alright despite this message. mount /dev/cdrom returns /dev/hdc not fount at /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab. What is this /dev/hdc? My fstab entry for cdrom looks like this: /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom is09660 noauto,ro. Should be iso9660, not is09660. Also, could your /dev/cdrom be a symlink to /dev/hdc? I believe you would want the line to look more like: /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro /dev/hdc should be the first drive on the second IDE port, which is the usual place to plug in a CD-ROM drive. I have dev/cdrom device and /mnt/cdrom directory but still it looks for /dev/hdc somewhere. Other problems: too many, I will send tomorrow, it's 4:00 am here. Gotta sleep!
