Re: WINE useage
BRIAN SCHRAMM writes: I downloaded the latest version of Wine from the Wine web page. I extracted it and read the readme file for compiling it.

So to solve this, you would add the following to the line in the Makefile that builds the executable target: -L /usr/X11R6/lib I'm not familiar with the gnome software or its build process but I think /usr/X11R6 is a pretty standard path for X so I'm a little surprised that this wouldn't already be in the Makefile. Anyway, I hope this helps. I went through this last week with gnome. The problem is that the Makefiles are missing the -lXpm flag for some of the $x_libs variables in the Makefiles. I couldn't convince the configure script to add the -lXpm flag so I had to do it by hand to the Makefile in the directory were the compile failed.

Re: Two Miceh
Asher Haig writes: I've been looking for an answer to this question for a while (it's actually two questions, I suppose). Both questions regard using two mice, one on /dev/psaux (Touchpad on a laptop) and one on /dev/cua0 (Kensington serial mouse). The first is with GPM: It appears I can do this with the -M flag, but does anyone know exactly how? I've been trying to make it work and have yet to be able to. Here you go! I have a 2btn mouse on /dev/psaux and a keyboard pointer on /dev/ttyS0(don't use the /dev/cua* devices they are not being used anymore, especially for non-communication devices) and I use gpm to control both on the console and act a a repeater(see the gpm man page) for X. /etc/gpm.conf: device=/dev/psaux responsiveness= type=ps2 append=-M -m /dev/ttyS0 -t ms -r 2 -R I think this is not needed(the -M = -R) but it works. Second: In X: Is it even possible? I haven't seen anything that says how, but it'd seem like it wouldn't be overly difficult. Or at least it shouldn't be. Again see the gpm man page on the repeater section. /etc/X11/XF86Config(Pointer Section) Section Pointer Protocol MouseSystems Device /dev/gpmdata Emulate3Buttons Emulate3Timeout50 EndSection Note that you can modify the responsiveness of the individual mice/pointers/pads with gpm but that only works for the console pointer. When using the /dev/gpmdata device gpm does not modify the inputs. So if one is more responsive than the other you will have to live with it or adjust xset to a happy medium for the two in X.

Re: Can I stay current using source packages instead of binaries?
Peter Mutsaers writes: Hello, Normally I stay current with hamm using dselect or dpkg directly. This uses binary packages. The drawback is that sometimes (most often) the real package doesn't change, but only the patches that were made to 'debianize' it. Now I wonder whether it is possible (e.g. like the FreeBSD ports system) to stay current using source code; thus one only downloads the underlying package once, and gets new versions of the debian patches only. Thanks, This is a VERY interesting concept. I would think that this could even be applied to the binaries. Since much of the changes are to text based config files or the Debian control files. I envision a patch based upgrade for the Debian revision updates. Just update the files that have actually changed, and then update the dpkg status files to reflect the upgrade. Of course if there is a binary update then that would be included in the update package. This would be a huge savings for those of us who live off of dpkg-ftp over a dialup connection.

Re: hptools and magicfilter

Is there any filter more recent than that ? After printing some test pages and seeing that everything was ok i saw that the printer was always printing in high quality. Since most of the work doesn't need that quality i started to think about a way to tell the printer to print in econofast mode. Looking through the debian list mails my colleague found someone (sorry don't remember your name) that mentioned hpset. We asked him about where to get it and got it. Apparently hpset works but I still couldn't get econofast to work. After relooking into hpset docs I saw that they mentioned something about filters and so i tried but to no avail. I'll show you my printcap file, and explain what i was trying to do. Basycally I wanted to have 2 different names for the same printer. One printing in high quality and the other for the lowest quality : My printcap : lp|dj|hpdj660c|HP Deskjet 660C:\ :lp=/dev/printer:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hpdj660c:\ :sh:pw#80:pl#72:px#1440:mx#0:\ :if=/usr/sbin/dj550c-filter:\ :af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs: lpecono:\ :lp=/dev/printer:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hpdj660c:\ :sh:pw#80:pl#72:px#1440:mx#0:\ :if=/etc/myfilter:\ :af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs: The myfilter file looks #!/bin/sh hpset -o stdout econo /usr/sbin/dj550c-filter That person was me. I think the problem is that the stdin to your myfilter, which can be anything, and the stdout from hpset, which is hp escape codes, are not of the same format and probably get misinterpreted by magicfilter and are probably not even appended to each other. You need to prepend the hpset output to the processed stdout of ghostscript and send them to stdout as one unit to the printer.

sound interference
The sound card(SB16) on my Debian box picks up electronic interference when I use the line-in as source(external radio). It sounds like I a helicopter, whop, whop, whop, whop and it fades in and out. It only happens under Debian, when I am booted in Win95 it doesn't happen. Setup: Debian 1.3.1 kernel 2.0.30 real SB16 with speakers on line-out and portable radio on line-in Any suggestions?

Re: Need help hacking print filter.
Dale Scheetz writes: I am printing postscript files to my HP DeskJet using printcap and a gs filter. Things work as expected, but I have several minor glitches that I can't figure out how to deal with. When I print a plain ascii file I simply cat the file to the printer. The printer defaults to high quality print mode, so to save ink I cat a set of 4 characters that push the printer into draft mode. My problem is that I can't figure out how to get the filter to prepend these characters to the front of the input stream, so all my postscript files use ink like crazy. Is there any way that I can get the characters prepended so that postscript files will print in draft mode as well? I use magicfilter but that is just the wrapper to process various input file types. For the actual ps filter I first use a program that I found on sunsite called hptools(/pub/Linux/system/printing/hptools-1.2.3.tar.gz). It has most of the esc sequences coded into the program and can either send the codes to stdout or directly to the port. Anyway for printing ps files you need to send your esc codes to a temp file then concatenate the gs output for your printer type to that same temp file and then send all that to stdout. Something like this(it may not be pretty but it works!): #!/usr/bin/tcsh # econo gs filter called as: econogs source.ps #the hptools program hpset -c econo ! /tmp/prt.$$ # send econo esc codes to tmp file # send the input file through gs and concatenate to the tmp file cat $1 | gs -q -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -r300 -sDEVICE=cdj550 -sOutputFile=- - /tmp/prt.$$ # sent the resulting file to stdout cat /tmp/prt.$$ # clean up rm /tmp/prt.$$ In addition I get an error message every time I print a postscript file. The message: Error: /undefinedfilename in (stcolor.ps) Operand stack: Execution stack: appears at the top of the first page (alone thankfully). Is there some way to get this error message to the null device instead of the printer? Well if the above is coming out on stderr then you could trap this and send to null and the other to stdout. But that is not the best solution. I am using alladin-gs and am not having any errors. I don't know what version off hand(not at my machine). Good luck. As I said these are fairly minor problems, and I'm sure HP would be happy if I couldn't reduce my ink usage, but my prospective use is going to go up so I could realy use a solution. The econo mode makes ps printing about twice as fast! Which makes it much easier to print more and waste paper...

Account Maintenance Package
Hi all, Here at Purdue the Engineering Computer Network staff have developed a very awesome account management package called ACMAINT. They currently use it to manage all the accounts and machines on the network.(Over 13,000 users with over 336,000 accounts on approx. 800 Sun's, 120 HP's, and handful of IBM's, SGI, etc!) From any machine on the network you can change any account on any other machine via a client server arrangement. The source and doc are in ftp://ftp.ecn.purdue.edu/pub/ACMAINT/. I don't think it has been ported to Linux but can be built on 20 different *nix's including BSD4.2, BSD4.3 BSDPOSIX so it shouldn't be to difficult to add support for Linux. It is very customizable. I believe it was written in tcl/tk and uses an oracle database. All the developers have since left the network and so the code is for the most part frozen. There is a mailing list mentioned in the README's which is still active and the route to get support. I have used it on the computers at school and was very impressed but have not tried to get it to run on my single personal Linux box at home(don't see much point). I just thought I would mention this to the list in case someone would be interested in taking a look at it.

Brian K Servis writes: Casey Feskens writes: Still having problems keeping ppp from dying out. Telnet works without any problems whatsoever. So does ping. FTP and Netscape seem to be the biggest problems. FTP works fine until I begin downloading files. It works for awhile, then my whole ppp connection begins to hang. Same with netscape. I can connect to a site or two, but soon enough it just hangs the whole connection. I have to kill all the processes to get out and then reboot the machine or redial 30 or so times to get a connection started again. Can anyone give me any ideas? I need help desparately. Casey Not that this is any help but all of a sudden I started getting the same behavior with Debian 1.3.1 and Netscape 3.01 Gold. However I can repeat the failure by submiting a form in Netscape. This will freeze my PPP connection until lcp-echo-failure kicks in and ppp dies. Like you the logs don't show anything usefull. I used to not have any problems with forms. The only thing that I have changed is gone from 1.3.0 to 1.3.1 the one thing that changed besides all XFree86 v3.3 related files is libc5 from v23 to v33. I think you said you were using Debian 1.2 so there shouldn't be any relations here. Oh well, more info for the masses I guess. Anybody else have any hints, this IS really anonying. As a small update to this. Submiting forms with lynx works fine, it is netscape that seems to be causing me the problems. Maybe I will try a different grapical browser,=(, to see if that changes anything. Brian -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] at Fri Mar 21 08:21:20 1997 ... widget-servis kernel: Kernel panic: EXT2-fs panic (device 03:41): ext2_read_inode: unable to read i-node block - inode=288873, block=1155094 The current ps shows a find on / which is the only entry to survive the parsing of the mount command in the checksecurity script. I tried killing the find command with no luck, even kill -9 didn't work. The load avg. climbed up to 3 and held steady. Time to reboot? What happened?

You probably have found a bad sector and/or your partition table is broken. THe only thing you can do is to try a badblocks and add the badblock list to the ext2 fs. Or reformat and reinstall :-( Well, I couldn't even do a shutdown so I closed by eyes and crossed my fingers and hit the reset button. Fsck came up with a bunch of errors and stale inodes, etc. I ended up loosing a few files most of which I restored. All seems to be ok now. The funny thing is that the checksecurity script had just run and I noticed it was checking drives I didn't need checked so I modified the checksecurity.conf file and ran it by hand to see if I had fixed it. If anyone wants to be a saint and send me copies of any of the following I would appreciate it. I don't want to download the whole packages over my modem just for a few files. /var/lib/dpkg/info/fvwm2.conffiles /usr/doc/apache/examples/extensions/README /usr/doc/netstd/bootpc /usr/doc/CGI-modules/examples I also lost /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/compat/[basic,mousekeys,default,iso9995,japan,misc,norepeat,pc] but I downloaded xbase and extracted them because I needed X and these prevented it from working.

Re: Compiling gs 3.33 for HP660C printer
Chris Brown writes: I was looking at the man pages HOWTOs etc. for GostScript with the intent of using it with my HP 660C printer. It looks like the standard distribution esecutable won't work for me so I got the source and was going to compile it. It looks like the best option for monocrome wonld be to set it up with the laserjet driver however I'm not really sure if there is a good option for color. There are probably other drivers that I would find usefull that I'm not familiar with or not thinking of now. Any suggestions would be greatly appriciated. I suggest using the Alladin Ghostscript in non-free. It has some new drivers for the Deskjet family of printers. The deb package has them included. The available drivers are cdjmono, cdeskjet, cdjcolor, cdj500, cdj550, deskjet, djet500, djet500c. I uset the cdj550 for mono and color printing by changing the -dBitsPerPixel option of ghostview. You might want to look into using apsfilter or magicfilter to setup different printer names for color, b/w, etc. Brian Mechanical Engineering [EMAIL PROTECTED] Purdue University http://widget.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis
X crashes when switching from VC
Hi all, Occasionally when I switch from a VC back to X(alt-f7) and try and use the mouse immediately X crashes and exits. If I don't use the mouse for a couple of seconds it does not crash. I am running xdm but have had it happen when just starting X using xinit. I am running gpm on the VC's. The error message when it crashes is: Fatal server error: Cannot open mouse (Device or resource busy) xdm error (pid 226): Server for display :0 terminated unexpectedly: 1 Gpm is started with the distributed init.d/gpm script and my /etc/gpm.conf file has the following lines in it. device=/dev/psaux responsiveness= type=ps2 append= The pointer section of XF86Config is: Section Pointer ProtocolPS/2 Device /dev/mouse Emulate3Buttons Emulate3Timeout100 EndSection /dev/mouse is a soft link to /dev/psaux 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root5 Jan 11 16:54 mouse - psaux My graphics card is a Diamond Stealth 64 with a S3 Trio64 chip and 2M Dram running in 8bit 1280x1024 mode(which by the way I can't even get Win95 to do!). I know that if I don't use the mouse right away it won't crash but I don't think that should be the solution. Any helpful hints ideas on what is going on?

libc5_5.4.14-1?
Were can I find libc5_5.4.14-1? Several apps in 1.2.2 have dependencies on it an only libc5_5.4.13-1 seems to be available. Is this a bug?

rsh over ppp via slirp
I am having trouble getting an rsh to run over a dial in ppp connection using slirp. I have had no troubles with any other networking programs. If I do an rsh machine where machine is my provider then it does an rlogin as expected. If I do an rsh machine command the command never gets executed and the rsh never returns anything, it just hangs at the prompt. I can kill it with a ^C just fine. I tried watching the process on the machine with a second login session and nothing ever shows up. Does rsh use some ports or something that are not getting redirected correctly with the slirp emulation? I looked in /etc/services and didn't find any reference to rsh. I am doing this because I want to run xbiff from machine and display on my Linux box. I can run xbiff by hand from machine and have it display on my machine just fine. Any hints.

/dev/cua1 - modem problems - HELP!
Oh wise ones, I am having problems with my modem. The modem is a PnP modem so I have to initialize it with a dos PnP driver and then use loadlin to boot. This is the time line and scenarios: 1) Had 0.93 w/ 1.2.13 minicom/pppd/chat all worked great, ppp/slhc as modules. Modem is /dev/cua1 and is initialized by setserial at irq3. 2) Upgraded to 1.1 but needed 1.2.13 for a non-debian package. So I got the a.out gcc and libs and made a new 1.2.13 kernel. Slhc would not load saying it couldn't find kernel_version(a variable defined in slhc.c) hence pppd wouldn't work, minicom worked. I tried Pppd/slhc as both modules and built in. With the 2.0.0 kernel ppp/slhc would load as modules or could be built in but when pppd was started it said the kernel did not support PPP! Minicom worked. I had xringd in rc2.d which failed on the 1.2.13 system but didn't interfere with the 2.0.0 system when using minicom. 3) Got a new version of the non-debian package that worked on 2.0.x kernels. Got the latest kernel-source package from debian, 2.0.6. Made new kernel with ppp/slhc as modules. Same result as #2. Tried ppp/slhc built in, same result as #2. 4) Decided to try latest kernel 2.0.20. Built the new kernel with ppp/slhc as modules. Now when I tried minicom it said that that /dev/cua1 was busy!? I stopped xringd and minicom loaded but would not dial out. When I exit minicom the modem flashes, ie. off hook for a split second. Tried pppd and it loaded but chat did the same thing with the modem, wouldn't dial out but when it timed out on failure the modem flashed. I removed xringd from rc2.d with no luck. 5) I decided to boot with earlier kernels that I still had, all are now doing the same thing as in #4!! So I figured that some how /dev/cua1 got hosed so I did a MAKEDEV on ttyS1 and that did not fix it. HELP! The modem works fine under Win95 although it says it is COM3 at IRQ 11. I can't even dial out with minicom no. Should I reinstall the base package? How can a kernel hose the com port or other devices which it only uses and doesn't install? I am really desperate here!!

ppp/slhc won't load on 1.2.13 kernel under Debian 1.1
Hi all, I have to run the 1.2.13 kernel for MATLAB. I have compiled a new 1.2.13 kernel and modules using all the a.out gcc and libs, no problems. In /lib/modules I have separate directories for 1.2.13 and 2.0.0 with all the subdirectories with all the modules in them. But when I try to load the slhc module it complains that it can't get the kernel version and does not load. Hence ppp fails because of the dependency on slhc. I really need ppp to work under 1.2.13. Any pointers? The modules.dep looks fine. Am I missing a lib? Help! Thanks, Brian Servis [EMAIL PROTECTED]
anybody seen this?
Just thought I would start here to see if I can find a solution. I have a Micron PCI Pentium-90 PNP system with the EIDE controllers on the mother board. On the primary controller I have two 1.2G Western Digital HD's. The master is partitioned into 2 drives all for Win95. The slave is partitioned into 2 drives for Debian, swap and everything else(it is a home machine). I have a EIDE CD-ROM on the secondary controller. Here is the situation/problem. If I am in Debian and then warm boot into Win95, Win95 forgets about my CD-ROM drive. I have to cold boot the machine to get it back. I have it set as G: just in case Win95 is trying to assign the linux partitions, it knows the second drive is there. I am using LILO to boot manage and have Win95 as the default(other non-linux family members use it). I think this is kind of a catch 22 situation. The Linux folks will tell me to look at the Win95 side of it and the Win95 folks will tell me to look at the Linux side of it. Any pointers?

what happened to dpkg-ftp?
Does anybody know what happened to dpkg-ftp? I can't find it anywhere. I have looked in all the directories on ftp.debian.org and have searched the ls-lR file with no luck. I am wanting to look into doing an 1.1 upgrade over a ppp dial-up connection during the middle of the night. This brings up another question. What happens if the connection is dropped in the middle of the upgrade? If I restart the upgrade will it pick up were it left off?

various boot errors and module problems!
Hi, I could really use someones help. When booting I get the following errors when calculating dependencies. *** Unresolved symbols in module /lib/modules/1.2.13/net/3c501.o *** Unresolved symbols in module /lib/modules/1.2.13/net/3c509.o *** Unresolved symbols in module /lib/modules/1.2.13/net/8390.o *** Unresolved symbols in module /lib/modules/1.2.13/net/apricot.o *** Unresolved symbols in module /lib/modules/1.2.13/net/arcnet.o *** Unresolved symbols in module /lib/modules/1.2.13/net/bsd_comp.o *** Unresolved symbols in module /lib/modules/1.2.13/net/de4x5.o *** Unresolved symbols in module /lib/modules/1.2.13/net/de600.o *** Unresolved symbols in module /lib/modules/1.2.13/net/de620.o *** Unresolved symbols in module /lib/modules/1.2.13/net/depca.o *** Unresolved symbols in module /lib/modules/1.2.13/net/dummy.o *** Unresolved symbols in module /lib/modules/1.2.13/net/eexpress.o *** Unresolved symbols in module /lib/modules/1.2.13/net/ewrk3.o *** Unresolved symbols in module /lib/modules/1.2.13/net/plip.o *** Unresolved symbols in module /lib/modules/1.2.13/net/ppp.o *** Unresolved symbols in module /lib/modules/1.2.13/net/slip.o Then when the network is initiated I get socket: Invalid argument socket: Invalid argument This is from the network script in /etc/init.d. I have not touched it since install. The two command in the script are: ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 route add 127.0.0.1 Then after entering runlevel 2 I get the following error starting /sbin/syslogd starting /sbin/klogd syslogd: syslog: Unknown protocol, suspending inet service: Invalid argument The only thing I have edited in the /etc/syslogd.conf file is to comment the 3 lines for the news.* log files, and the above command was happening before I did that. Then once booted if I try and load the PPP module using modprobe ppp I get the following errors: tty_register_ldisc: wrong version dev_close: wrong version slhc_free: wrong version slhc_init: wrong version slhc_toss: wrong version alloc_skb: wrong version netif_rx: wrong version slhc_uncompress: wrong version slhc_remember: wrong version kill_fasync: wrong version n_tty_ioctl: wrong version slhc_compress: wrong version dev_kfree_skb: wrong version register_netdev: wrong version unregister_netdev: wrong version Failed to load module! The symbols from kernel 1.2.13 don't match 1.2.13 This all started after I recompiled the 1.2.13 kernel to set it up for my tastes. After make zImage and modifing /etc/lilo.conf and running lilo, I rebooted and did make modules then make modules_install. Does anything look familiar? If you need more info please ask and I will get you what you need. I am running my linux box at home with no real network connection but I am wanting to connect to a dial in account running slirp. I compiled in network support but no drivers for any protocols, just load a module when I want to connect. Thanks.
