xdm question
I successfully upgraded to slink from hamm. Yahoo! It only took about 10 hours over 3 days to do it. apt is your friend!!! One question though. I rebooted my system and xdm started. I never use xdm, but I thought okay I'll try it. It wouldn't let me log in either as root or as a normal user. I did a ctrl-alt-F1 and found xdm in /etc/init.d/. Is it okay to remove xdm from here without any adverse effects? Well, I did it anyway :) but I was just wondering if I should seek an alternative solution.

Debian who?
Hello People: I'm a Brand Spankin' Shinning Newbe with a Brand Spankin Shinning New Debian install using floppies, all seven of them D/Led from Debian.org, so now what? The man pages don't work. Nothing will install because of dependency errors except for joe (works great but there must be something better). Can't get the computer on the internet because that machine isn't connected and doesn't have the software, yet. Games won't install either. Really wanted to get it up and running to learn Linux, C, C++ and a few other things. Besides, I'd like to replace WinDoze95 with something I can depend on and understand how it works and maybe even tweak a little. So, what do I do now? Actually, I've spent over a month reading How-to's and Install.txt and anything else I could find. Problem is, nothing seems to work, even though I've tried installing several times, manually configuring things, and asking everyone that seemed to maybe know something. The install seems to boot from the hard disk ok, I get about three and a half screens of report between Loading Lilo ... and Login. Everything looks fine and seems to terminate successfully except for one itty bitty thing: Mounting local file systems ... not mounted anything Ok, that's probably a biggie but I did install vfat so I could read floppies made on the Win95 machine. Does anybody have an idea of what I did wrong? What should I do now? Thank you.

Man pages, C/C++, etc . is all in packages which need to be installed. If you don't have the connection to netwell, installing via floppies will work for some things, but looking on the bigger picture, if you can not get a CD ($10 with 3-day delivery), you are pretty much screwed. Get the connection running, and you can download everything. Will just take some time. Actually, I've spent over a month reading How-to's and Install.txt and anything else I could find. Problem is, nothing seems to work, even though I've tried installing several times, manually configuring things, and asking everyone that seemed to maybe know something. Again, base system does not come with many packages. It's base. Packages included are just about enough to get you into shell, with CD support, so you can install what you need. It also comes with ppp, to get you on the net. If you don't have a CD drive and modem, get one of them. The install seems to boot from the hard disk ok, I get about three and a half screens of report between Loading Lilo ... and Login. Everything looks fine and seems to terminate successfully except for one itty bitty thing: Thats normal dmesg stuff for a base kernel. You can get rid of most of it by recompiling the kernel, but floppies will not do, since the file is 12M long. HTH, Andrew --- Andrei S.

Re: Debian who?
Also, as to not mounting any local fs's: The message appears at the boot when system reads your /etc/fstab file, where partitions and directories to mount onto them are located. Check it out, seems like your /etc/fstab is blank, although in that case / and /usr would not mount either, so you would not be able to do anything . Andrew --- Andrei S.

Final test build of XFree86 for slink -- PLEASE TEST
Sorry for the wide crossposting. XFree86 3.3.2.3a-10pre11v2 is available at http://master.debian.org/~branden/xfree86. If there are no problems with it, it will be rebuilt tomorrow with the changelog edited to change its Debian version to -11, and uploaded to master. I cannot stress how important it is that this release be tested. I have abandoned two of my goals for the slink release because it is too close. 1) The merging of a lot of patches from the xlib6g buglist regarding locales and XKB data. These are not release critical, and I'm pushing the envelope enough as it is. I am sorry to neglect Debian users who do not use ISO-8859-1 by default in this manner, but addressing these bugs is very, very high on my priority list for potato X. 2) There will be no bogus xfnt* or xslib(g) packages that depend upon their counterparts with new names.[1] Thanks especially to Anders Hammarquist, Ben Collins, and Robert Woodcock for helping me realize the other two goals I had for final slink X (packages ready for alpha and sparc without modification, and making xf86config and XF86Setup aware of /etc/X11/Xsession). [1] Jason Gunthorpe, apt author, has assured me in no uncertain terms that Santiago Vila's proposal to create bogus packages with the names of the old font and static library packages is the wrong solution because apt cannot be guaranteed to do the right thing. Indeed the scenario of: package A depends on package B package B conflicts with package A is pathological. The existing Conflicts: of the new font and static library packages with the old is completely within the spirit and letter of the Debian packaging manual. To create bogus packages would not be. This issue is best addressed with something like an auto-upgrade script. I am willing to work with anyone who would like to develop a solution that is not abusive of the packaging system. This is a problem that must be solved outside the existing packaging system. Any bugs filed against the X packages complaining about this will be closed or reassigned. Sorry to sound defensive, but I have been harassed enough about it. In retrospect, it was a mistake to rename the packages, but that genie is out of the bottle. In practice, this problem is not grave because the contents of the font and static library packages have not changed substantively since they were renamed. -- G.

Re: Modem Commands
Also, is there a page somewhere that lists the hayes/at modem commands? Try the modem manufacturers home pages. Even if they do not have hayes/at modem commands you can probably get it from what they do have. For example, I believe that www.zoltrix.com can help. Another option, which I never tried, is to make a web serach for it.
missing man files
[EMAIL PROTECTED] missed the man files in his struggle. I just discovered today that there are a large number of man pages included in debian seven disk download for hamm.

Once you have upgraded to the -10 versions of the X packages in slink you can also 'dpkg --purge xbase' as it was just a dummy package to help in the migration of the upgrade.

Auto Login at Boot?

Can this be used to auto login under numerous terminal under different
user id's and passwords.
i.e.

I usually keep three terminal open. One as root, one as user under a
command shell and one as user under an X terminal. I use root because I
haven't found out which files I need to give user rights to in order to
PPP.

PPP from install disks.
I remember someone mentioning that PPP support was on the install disks. I am about to install debian on a machine via PPP/ftp if possible. The ISP that my friend is with uses PAP, and I have had no luck setting up PAP in the past (though I have never used pppconfig) so I have two questions. 1) is pppconfig on the install disks? (the base system) 2) does it simplify setup for PAP dialup? Thanks in advance. -Dano

I get messages like this one when the network hangs: Feb 11 02:18:52 groumph kernel: Socket destroy delayed (r=0 w=320) Now, I discovered that doing: # ifconfig eth0 down # bash /etc/init.d/network reconnects me on the network.

Lilo help for NT
Hi I was wondering if you anyone could give me a hand with using LILO to boot into Linux (and NT). The setting is as follows: primary master: Ultra DMA drive -- NT 4.0 primary slave: none secondary master: IOmega Zip Drive secondary slave: Toshiba 40x ATAPI CD ROM SCSI: Hard drive -- Linux (debian distribution 2.0 r3) NT was installed first onto the first primary master drive using CDROM. Linux was installed later, also using CDROM, onto the SCSI drive. I have NO floppy drive and do not intend on getting one. I was able to install the linux kernel and base files fine, however when it comes time to reboot, I was unable to get into it because NT OS loader has control of the MBR on the primary master IDE drive and it is not aware of a linux installation (or lilo). How can I install lilo so that I can boot into both NT and Linux without loosing my installation. - oberon

Besides, I'd like to replace WinDoze95 with something I can depend on and understand how it works and maybe even tweak a little. So, what do I do now? You currently have a very minimal set of packages installed - i.e. enough to enable you to install the rest ;).

In debian you are supposed to put scripts which you want run when connecting in '/etc/ppp/ip-up.d'.

Re: magic cookie error
I've seen this question a lot on this list, and although this (xhost) is a working solution, it seems to be considered to be a bit of a security hole (anyone logged on to the localhost can access the X-Server, and thus monitor keys and find out peoples passwords). If you set the XAUTHORITY variable in your environment as root to be /home_path_of_the_person_running_the_xserver/.Xauthority, eg by adding: export XAUTHORITY=/home/user/.Xauthority to the .bashrc of root (if you are using the bash shell), then root can open windows on user's xserver. Beware, however, that you will have a problem if you try to start an X-server as root, as it will try and use an old/non-existent(?) copy of .Xauthority from user's home directory. To get around this, you would need to unset the XAUTHORITY variable in root's environment.

Here's what I have set up prior to invoking pon: -- eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:4B:27:E5:5B inet addr:10.0.0.21 Bcast:10.255.255.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:179677 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:94941 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 Collisions:0 Interrupt:16 Base address:0xfcc0 Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric RefUse Iface 10.0.0.0* 255.255.255.0 U 0 00 eth0 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 00 lo default 10.0.0.21 0.0.0.0 UG1 00 eth0 -- As you can see, I have a default gateway configured, which is a requirement for the ADSL connection.

If I play with the netmask (like making it 255.255.255.0) I can get a network route added, but either way I'm still not able to ping anything through that interface. I'd appreciate it if someone would point out what sort of routing entry I need to setup in order to make this work. I'm running an up-to-date slink system with kernel version 2.2.1. Thanx!

Re: hamm/pppconfig?
Larry writes: The first time I tried pppconfig it worked perfectly, but I just tried to change the phone number and now it won't connect. *Exactly* what did you do? *Exactly* what results did you get? I tried deleting /etc/ppp/peers/provider in an effort to erase the defaults and start over, but when I ran pppconfig the defaults were still there. What do you mean by the defaults? The default valuse displayed by pppconfig are not read from a file. They are generated internally by pppconfig when the provider files (/etc/chatscripts/provider and /etc/ppp/peers/provider) either don't exist or don't look right. What files should I delete to get pppconfig back to where it was when I first installed hamm? When you first installed hamm the ppp package installed a set of default files. Pppconfig ignored these and showed you its defaults. It then replaced the files installed by the ppp package with those it generated when you answered the questions. Look in /etc/chatscripts and /etc/ppp/peers for files named 'provider.bak'. Depending on exactly what you did, these files may contain your data. Rename each of them from 'provider.bak' to just 'provider' and run pppconfig again. If you are lucky your old data will come up. If not you will have to enter it all again. -- John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] (John Hasler) Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI
exim
When I use fetchmail to retrieve my mail, exim delivers the first 10 and then leaves the rest queued until cron next fires-up it's queue-runner. How can I tell it to go ahead and deliver everything as soon as it arrives? I've looked at exim's FAQ and tried a few options from there, but I apparently haven't gotten it quite right so far. The system in question is my home PC, so it shouldn't be under a heavy enough load for this to be a problem. Thanx!
Printing problems
Hello, Recently I was moved to Debian. I have installed Debian 2.0 'hamm' distribution. I succeded with ppp connection, X-windows, applications,...but I was not able to suitably configure the printing protocole! I have an Epson Stylus Color 600 local printer. First I read the printing-howto. I used magicfilterconfig to create the /etc/printcap file with the adequate filter and the /var/spool/lpd nad /var/spool/lpd/lp dirs. However when trying to print for instance the /etc/printcap file by using lpr /etc/printcap the following message was obtained: Connection to 'localhost' failed-connection refused job 'cfAxxxdebian' transfer to [EMAIL PROTECTED] failed When I invoked lpc status I found cannot open connection to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'-connection refused I am not in any network (is my home PC connected to internet by modem)! Would someone be so kind of explain me the right way to configure my printer? Thanks in advance! -- Dr. A.

Problems with Netscape 4.5 and shared libraries
I recently bought Debian 2.0 cd, because I couldn't afford Red Hat and I was bored in using Slackware, and I didn't have any problems until now. I installed Netscape 4.5 and when I run it, it claims that 'cannot load libXpm.so.4'. Now, I have the file in /usr/X11R6/lib, and other programs use it without no problems. It's symbolic link from libXpm.so.4.10. I tried with several other versions but I got same message. I've got same messages with other programs like some parts of Gnome and Enlightenment's Eterm. My friend told me that NS 4.5 should work with libXpm.so.4.10... Weird. If someone know how to make a script where I can define library path to /usr/lib/netscape, where I made symlinks of files NS needs, I would preciate if you would tell me how. I made one but it mumbled something about 'segmentation fault'. Btw, I installed NS to /usr/local/netscape, if it helps. thanks, John Tribal __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

Re: pine mutt
Hi Steve Lamb, you wrote on Sat, Feb 20, 1999 at 09:22:34PM -0800: *WHY!?* Anyone familiar with mutt would know that it was modeled after a newsreader, SLRN! So why contribute to bloat by having those two functions in the same program, especially mutt, when one can have mutt and slrn with similar key mappings, similar colors, etc, etc, etc... Well I tried pine at first (it did news, but not too good), then tried SLRN, which was pretty good, but had no nice filtering/scoring. Then I tried tin and it's IMHO great. mutt is also highly configurable (as tin), so if you put some work into it, you get them both to your liking. The biggest disadvantage of SLRN was the only basic filtering. In short, any patch to mut to mangle it to read news will fall severely short of slrn or any other dedicated news reader. Absolute agreement. Kind regards Frederick -- Linux *is* user-friendly. It's just a little picky about it's friends.

Replying to messages with gnus
In my .emacs file I have the following variables set: ; To send a blind carbon copy of every outgoing message to yourself, ; set the variable `mail-self-blind' to `t'. (from emacs help_info) (setq mail-self-blind t) ; To add a signature to messages: (setq mail-signature-file ~bob/.sig) (setq mail-signature t) When I use gnus to reply to a message, these variables are not recognized, although other settings from my .emacs _are_ recognized. These settings are used when I use emacs to send mail. Can anyone suggest what I should do to make them work in gnus? Bob -- _ |_) _ |_ Robert D.

Re: Netscape is ignoring cookies!

color broken after slink upgrade
I recently did an apt-get dist-upgrade on my hamm system to upgrade to slink. Everything worked smoothly, except now I notice that I am not getting color in a few places that I used to, namely aalib stuff and nethack. Where there was color before in these programs I simply get inverse text. ls --color still works, as does mutt, dselect, and mc. Note that I am not running X windows, this is all on the plain text console. Does anyone have any ideas as to what might have happened here? I assume its related to upgrading ncurses and or slang. Thanks, rcy

Local network
My primary machine is a Micron P166. It is connected by ethernet to my old machine, a ZEOS 486, that I use for backups. Both machines have a DOS/Win3.1 partition. I would like to telnet from linux on the Micron to Dos/Windows on the secondary machine. Can this be done? What DOS/Windows software is necessary?

John Leget [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Also check out the files in /etc/chatscripts/... these are used as well, i just manually changed the phone no here recently. I wish I would have done it manually, but it's to late now. I think the problem was caused by accidentally selecting PAP instead of CHAT, but I did this the first time used pppconfig and it didn't cause a problem then. The only difference is I changed back to CHAT before I used pon the first time. I finally found all of the pppconfig files in pppconfig manual and deleted them. Then I ran pppconfig again, but I still have the same problem. I also looked though the PPPD and CHAT manuals and tried a couple of changes, but nothing helped. Below are the before and after sections of the ppp.log. The only change is the phone number, but the first one worked and second one doesn't. Warning: I'm not an expert on this issue. Also, I'm running slink, and there have been changes to the whole ppp situation (file locations and names, etc.) since hamm (I think, it seems to have been a long time since hamm). From the log it looks as if the second number wants a pap connection, while the old number doesn't ask for it.

It looks like this: login_user_name * my_password First, start with a fresh set of config files (force a reinstall of ppp and then pppconfig), and then use minicom to verify exactly what your ISP wants to see. This may have remained the same, but verify it anyway. When the ISP starts sending what looks like garbage in the minicom terminal, thats the PAP request you are seeing. Verify your name and password are the same for the pap-secrets file as well as the chatscript file. Also make sure 'noauth' is in your provider file (a parameter send to pppd). 'auth' would cause your machine to interrogate your ISP's machine for a PAP connection, which won't work, of course, as the situation is the other way around. Hope it helps. -- Ed C.

When replying with gnus the mail-self-blind and mail-signature* variables are not honored. Instead use you can use message-default-headers, message-signature, and message-signature-file. I think the following should do what you want: (setq message-default-headers Bcc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]) (setq message-signature-file ~bob/.sig) (setq message-signature t) Somewhere along the way, 'mail' was generalized to 'message' (including posting on newsgroups as well as sending email). It is possible, of course, to customize the signature file (or virtually any other aspect of gnus). For instance, you can use different signature files for sending messages to different destinations. Instead of setting message-signature to t, write a form that evals to what you want. From the documentation for message-signature: `message-signature' (buffer: *Hyper Apropos*, mode: Hyper-Apropos) *String to be inserted at the end of the message buffer. If t, the `message-signature-file' file will be inserted instead. If a function, the result from the function will be used instead. If a form, the result from the form will be used instead. (By the way, I, too, found this change in behavior a bit obscure and not obviously documented.) I'm using xemacs, not fsf emacs right now, but I think this applies to gnus under fsf emacs as well.
