Upgrading to unstable
Upgrading to unstable used to be easy. Login, get list, choose yer kit, install. Play. Lovely. The current unstable tree seems impossible to me to upgrade to without horrid dependancy stuff creeping in everywhere. My main problem seems to be with lib6g+ (or something similar), tk4.2 (I have tk42) , tk7.6 (I have tk76) and stuff like that. Choosing just a simple thing like tkirc for upgrading results in a large mangled mess of dependancy conflicts. Anyone got any suggestions for getting started in this tree?

ird registration
Hi folks, I`m in the middle of writing an IRC client but have been halted in development by odd behaviour of the Debian ircd package. Ircd is installed as per default. This should be no ident and anyone can connect. According to the rfc the login process is like this. PASS anything NICk nick USER user hostname servername :whois Now, if I telnet to scorch 667 (my hostname) it connects and dumps me at the login bit so... PASS oz NICK oz USER oz scorch scorch :blah blah JOIN #blah I then get an error saying JOIN : Register first Now, according to the rfc, if I register with USER twice, I`ll should get ERROR : already registered. This isn`t happening. Typing in USER on it`s own gives; ERROR: not enough parameters ... as per rfc this is correct. But , USER registering properly seems to have no effect. Is there something different about this ircd in someway? I`ve written bots before in C and these worked correct to the rfc. Something is amiss.

Sound Module missing / isapnp AWE64
Hi folks, I`ve got my hands on an AWE64 Value and am trying like buggery to get it working. Installed ISAPNP , shoved it in the init.d files BUT.. In order for this technique to work Soundblaster needs to be installed as a module. Trouble is... using xconfig the Sound stuff can only be compiled straight in. The modulise option is ghosted out. Looking in /libs/modules I see the sound module is missing altogether. Hence.. the AWE will never get initialised. In modconf , the sound option is missing altogether. P.S. After solving the above trouble I could also do with some help in setting up my isapnp.conf for this card. If anyone has one of these working could they mail me their .conf?

In-Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-UIDL: 179f80f31b22629d9ef130200f90548d I couldn't try anything with FFS yet (anything but some floppies I could not mount, see my question below), but I think there is a chance that you should try mounting each single partition on a single mount point, as you do with any partitioned disk, that is: NOT /dev/hdd but /dev/hdd1, /dev/hdd2, /dev/hdd3, /dev/hdd4. Nope, the problem is definitely the kernel not recognising the partition table on bootup. So god knows whats wrong. I`m gonna rip the drive out, shove it back in the miggie and analyse the drive with reorg. Possibly the old AFS filesystem I was using on a couple of partitions has rearranged the parition table. QUESTION: which filesystem is on Amiga FLOPPIES? Now your question made me curious and I tried mounting some Amiga 600 floppies, say just the Workbench ones and not games, to be sure not to be dealing with strange filesystems. (Actually, I have a communication package for Amiga here on the PC, I got it from a BBS, and it would be nice to give it to my brother's Amiga just via floppy.) I tried both the following: mount -t affs /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy Amiga formatted floppy disks (ffs for an A600) cannot be read by any machine other than an Amiga without some extra hardware. This is due to an inferiority in PC floppy controllers. ;) Actually, the affs filesystem support here is currently configured as a module, but this works quite fine for hpfs and msdos (and a lot of other things such as PPP). Just to be sure, after I send this message I immediately try rebuilding the kernel with affs support 'Y' and not just 'M'odule. But the answer is probably that floppies do have another kind of filesystem and you won't see any appendix to this message with it works inside.

Amiga Filesystem mounting bother.
Hi there, After some very successful tests with UAE I`ve decided to strip my A1200 drive out and shove it in my PC.

It`s configured correctly in the BIOS as Secondary slave (/dev/hdd?). The drive is split into 4 partitions all formatted on the amiga using standard FastFileSystem. SYS: DH0: DH1: DH2: I`ve created a mountpoint called /AMIGA. Doing... mount /dev/hdd /AMIGA -t affs produces the following; # mount /dev/hdd /AMIGA -t affs mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdd, or too many mounted file systems # Here`s the bootup log from /var/log/messages.

The drive I`m sure is on /dev/hdd as it spins down now and again then when tryingt to mount it it spins back up.

ldconfig 1.2.8 troubles
I`ve recently attained the iconnect 1.2.8 cd and was upgrading in small steps my aging 1.1 (with bits of 1.2 and uinstable) system. I upgraded ldso and now ldconfig gives errors like below. ldconfig: warning: can't open /usr/lib/libslang.so.0 (No such file or directory), skipping ldconfig: warning: can't open /lib/libXm.so.2 (No such file or directory), skipping I`m scared to turn my box off now incase it doesn`t boot again. ;) Help!

Perl/io/dpkg-ftp and start-stop-daemon (again(again)).
Hi folks, I asked for help on this problem last week but since having to change addresses suddenly I didn't get any replies (you might have seen them bouncing) so here it is again. My linux box is almost unusable because of this so I look forward to some help on the matter. 1: Due to the ridiuclous dependancies involving Perl,io,libnet and dpkg-ftp I now find dpkg-ftp broken. From previous experience of this I had already the .deb file for io,libnet and dpkg-ftp. Installing these using dpkg -i managed to install them correctly and dselect shows no errors or files need configured. Perl also appears to be installed OK , though I don't believe it (more on that later). When attempting to use the ftp option of Dselect I get this error; dselect (subprocess): unable to run query/setup script process `/usr/lib/methods/ftp/setup': no such file or directory query/setup script returned error exit status 2. obviously I've knackered it up through all the install/remove/install/remove stuff I was doing trying to get round those daft dependancies. 2: This problem is worse since it stops logging and halts mail delivery. When my box boots I get the following errors showing multiple times as the init process attempts to run the various daemons. eg. /etc/rc2.d/S10sysklogd: /usr/sbin/start-stop-daemon: No such file or directory. This is the same for all daemons attempting to run.. When just sitting as root and trying to execute start-stop-daemon frmo ANY directory the following error occurs. bash: /usr/sbin/start-stop-daemon: No such file or directory. This is odd since it's finding the correct program and the path for it but is saying it can't find it. Spook! I've looksed in /usr/sbin and start-stop-daemon is definitly in there. Help much appreciated. I've went so long now (for a newbie) without reinstalling that I don't really want to start over again. Brian Skreeg - [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Fish Technologies Ltd.)

Re: Perl/io/dpkg-ftp and start-stop-daemon (again(again)).
When I do 'dpkg --status perl' and 'dpkg --status perl-base' it prints out the corresponding lines: Package: perl Status: install ok installed [cut] Package: perl-base Status: purge ok not-installed [cut] Yep that's what I get. It's perl I have installed and not perl-base . I can't uninstall it in any way at all. Even using force options. As the removal script can't find the perl executable and biffs out (think I've said this before). So I can't reinstall a working version. dpkg status says it's installed OK but I know better and so does it when it tries to uninstall it. This system is deadlocked in this repect. The perl package also tells that it replaces both the 'io' and 'perl-base' packages when it's installed. I'm not sure what has caused your problem, but maybe installing the 'perl' package helps. Yup, I know this and this is where the dependancy trouble comes in. It seems the perl package in unstable is far from complete or working. Hope this keeps you from having to reinstall. No really. I fear the worst. Ozzy, __ _ _ / \ \ \ / / / / / |-Brian SkreegIRC:_Ozzy-| \__/ \ \ |-Lead guitarist extraordinaire-| \__/_/ |-I don't look like two zombies-|
