Re: chroot ssh for login
i'm not quite understand your problem. Do you want to create a debian unstable chroot system under a production server which you could chroot into? if yes, then here is a simple step. 1. create a normal debian chroot system. debootstrap is good for this. 2. when you chroot into this system. set up your account, apt, . and update to unstable. 3. install ssh package. usually I will confiugue it to use a non-regular ssh port, eg . 4. /etc/init.d/ssh start inside the chroot system. 5. then you can ssh -P to your unstable debian chroot one. Chanop Once in the debian galaxy, I heard Alexander Koch say Hi all, can anyone probably give me an idea of how I can build a chroot ssh on a production server running Debian unstable? I could use ssh2 and the chroot feature, but that one is really ugly non-free I am not further considering it at all. Using debootstrap probably and then dpkg --root-dir= ? But then how do I get into the system, what do I have to do with the passwd entry and whatnot?

Re: via82cxxx chipset question
Once in debian galaxy, I heard Cheryl Homiak say It's possible this might get more answers on another list, but thought I'd try here first. I have a via82c597 rev 4 chipset and an Award bios. I have anabled the via82cxxx support in my kernel, but perhaps I do not understand what numbers to put in on the command line, or for which ide to put them in, because no matter what I do a 33mhz bus speed is assumed; if I try putting 66 even in I get something about this being impossible. I have included part of my dmesg here, and have included enough so you can see my setup and a couple of other messages that puzzle me. Any help would be appreciated. 33mhz PCI bus speed is correct. Don't bother changing it. I've heard that someone has tried and has corrupted his HD. To check the effect try your kernel with and without via ATA support. check with hdparm -tT /dev/hd? to check for performance gain. When you have via ATA support, you should be able to get higher performance trough dma tranfer. cheers, Chanop -- ,. | May Debian be with you ~~ [EMAIL PROTECTED]| | http://thai.anu.edu.au| `' pgpVnfnJrFvLC.pgp Description: PGP signature

The correct way to go. My mouse doesn't work in X, much as if I had the wrong argument to Protocol in 'Section Pointer' of XF86Config. Odd thing is, 24 hours ago it worked fine. It stopped when I was apt-get install'ing things left and right [1], so I'm not sure what triggered it. (it stopped working right after I installed ssh. Hm.) In XF86Config, the Protocol and Device for the pointer (mouse) were PS/2 and /dev/mouse (/dev/mouse isa symlink to /dev/psaux). In the console, gpm still works fine, and it has the equivalent settings in its config file (/etc/gpm.conf; device=/dev/psaux, type=ps2). I have a very normal, 3-button, contemporary-model Logitech mouse, with a PS/2 connector. In XF86Config, I tried changing the Protocol to (almost) everything listed in man XF86Config; and changing the Device to /dev/psaux and /dev/ttyS[0123]. In short, I tried every suggestion I found in the archives in debian-user and my head. No avail. I did find that changing Device to be /dev/gpmdata and Protocol to Microsoft, MouseMan, or MouseSystems, it worked fine except my mouse's middle button didn't work. I use this button a lot. I can Emulate3Buttons, but it's not the same. From your description I think you turned on gpm repeater mode, I guess. rerun gpmconfig again and turn it off with none when asked. In X you should use just plain PS/2 for most 3 buttons Logitech mouse. I use first mouse, mouse man, etc ... without a problem at all :) btw, this seems independent of WM (tested with twm; and enlightenment, both with and without gpm). Are you sure about this?

Re: emacs not obeying .Xdefaults in debian

Re: Logitech Mouseman + ps/2

The problem is the middle mouse button, what mouse Server to use and what device exactly is it running from. Its a ps/2 mouse and many have told me to just use mouseman/no emulate/no chordive actually tried them all but cannot for the life of me get the middle paste button to work.

Re: APM: Poweroff actually does a reboot
Once upon a time, I heard Moore, Paul say Hi, I have a PC with APM support at home. I've installed Debian (Potato) onto it and built my own kernel with APM support compiled in (I needed to build my own to add the APM real mode calls option, as the default kernel crashes on a poweroff call). Now, I can successfully shut down, but the poweroff command shuts down to power off mode, and then immediately reboots instead of switching the power off. Is this a known/common problem (I vaguely recall having a similar problem on this PC with Win98, before I removed it, and I have also had the same problem on a laptop running Windows NT). I think it's more of hardware/bios problem since I have one Gateway box among many Gateway box that refuse to powerdown :( And I couldn't find a way to overcome the problem. ANW, I always leave the box on all the time so it's not a big problem.

Re: Can't find XF86Setup, and other dselect questions..
Once upon a time, I heard Gregory Guthrie say I have an old (pre-2.x) system, upgraded to 2.0, then 2.1, 2.1R4. 1) I wanted to move into X GUI, and have a lot of X11 stuff under /usr/X11R6/... but do not have XF86Setup. Use xf86config instead. I ran dselect from my 2.1 disk (Essential Debian), and from both of my 2.1R4 disks, but found no X11 stuff on any of them. May be on 2nd CD, couldn't remember since I usually use apt http/ftp, sometimes dselect/apt. I tried to point dselect to www.debian/org via FTP, but it wanted to download 70+ MB, so I declined. have you used apt or apt-method in dselect?? I had assumed it would only download a few upgrades, and/or give me a selection option of packages before such a big download. Yes, put package on hold. Seems like this should be easy, what am I missing? Easy way is to use apt, and put unwant package on hold. Try sth like apt-get update; apt-get install xserver-svga After you configure XF86Config, X should run, IIRC, at least with X. Install your prefer X11 software after that. 2) If I put in various CDroms, does dselect remember what programs are available on each, or do I need to roll all of them through each time I want to find something? I think dselect does remember things, but you have to have dselect-multicd installed. Better way is apt, via apt-cdrom. 3) I see that Debian 2.1 is not Linux 2.2, but is 2.0.30; I want to get proper parport printer/Zip sharing, which seems to be in Kernel 2.2, what is the easiest way to get this. Since you have slink, install kernel-package and roll your own latest 2.2.15pre16 should be a good idea. 4) On initial boot, we got a nice dselect'ish menu, what type of install to do, .. with a default set of packages.

Re: What happens with pakages ssh2
Once upon a time, I heard Dave Sherohman say Jaume Teixi said: Afer doing an update on frozen distribution, now ssh2 appears as Obsolete/local so, what happens ? Don't know if it's related, but, after encountering the exact same problem, I went out to the Debian website, grabbed the latest ssh2 deb, and installed it. It conflicts with ssh, so I had to dump that. Now the machine in question is refusing both ssh and ssh2 connections. (Of course, I discovered this when the machine isn't local and it doesn't run telnetd, rshd, or anything but sshd, so now I have to go visit it to revert the ssh install. *sigh*) I've noticed that packages which apt claims are missing will frequently be available from the Debian web site. Perhaps they've been pulled because they don't work any more... Grab ssh-nonfree and ssh2 if you want both ssh is openssh (free version). And you could bind port of ssh2 to 22 instead of default and make it fork ssh1d when ssh1 client connects.

I assume it is. What is gnome going to do with gpm? It's X, isn't it? If you are talking about gdm, gnome display manager. For the current version, you should stay away from it if you want XDMCP function, last time I tried, it broke. It's fine if you just wanna use it locally.
