Re: Two ethernet cards
Hello Neil: via the card configuration tool from the manufacturer, you should be able to change the IRQ and I/O mapping for the card(s) in question. Peter Neil Booth wrote: I have 2 PCI Planex ethernet cards in my machine, the first uses tulip.c as its driver, and the second uses de4x5.c. When I inserted the second card today and rebuilt my kernel (no modules), during boot-time initialization the tulip driver initializes successfully as eth0, but the second driver fails with:- eth1: region already allocated at 0xe400 because that I/O port was grabbed by the tulip driver. Is there a way around this, or can I not use these two cards in the same machine? I can't see any jumpers or switches that might change either I/O port on the cards.

I like how lynx automatically started up dselect (or dpkg?) when it recognized the package. That was neat. But when I told it to try and install the package, it also wanted libc6. Leaving a broken copy of gpm. So I uninstalled gpm. Now I have NO gpm and no clear way to re-install the old version. In dselect, can I 'downgrade' to the old version on the CD? Try going to libc6. The problem should go away.

Re: PPP Problems cont.
Hi Guys: This is what I do. I don't log in. Loging in implies V.120. V.120 sucks. When I get the CONNECT is just start ppp negotiation. This approach seem to work with several ISPs. I'm using a Zyxel ISDN modem at 128 so don't be confused with the init or dialing strings. Below is my provider file ABORTBUSY ABORTNO CARRIER ABORTVOICE ABORTNO DIALTONE ATB40K44J3 ATDI98609234+98609234 CONNECT '' -- these are single quotes When the modem generates a CONNECT string, the box goes right into LCP negotiation and authenticates via PAP. In my options file I have a line which states my login name as follows: name [EMAIL PROTECTED] In my pap-secrets file I have a line which provides my outbound password for the userid in question as follows: [EMAIL PROTECTED] * password Hope this is of some use.

Re: Waiting for scripts in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d
Hello: Wouldn't it just be cleaner to use dial on demand (diald) which would automatically bring up and/or turn down the link based on idle time. Peter -Original Message- From: Moore, Paul [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'Debian Users' debian-user@lists.debian.org Date: Wednesday, October 21, 1998 6:41 AM Subject: Waiting for scripts in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d Background: I have my PPP connection to my ISP set up, pretty much out of the box. In /etc/ppp/ip-up.d, I have some scripts, one to send queued mail, one to get a newsfeed via slrnpull. I will probably add extra scripts later (mirror my homepages, download new packages, cache web pages, whatever...) My ISP also sends my Email via SMTP while I'm online. I can tell when it's finished by fingering the post machine, and checking if it has any messages left for me. What I'd like to do is to write a script which starts the PPP connection, then waits for all the ip-up.d scripts to run, and for my mail to finish arriving, and then drops the connection with poff (actually, I'd like it to ask me whether it was OK to go offline, and allow me to override, but that's not too hard). So, my question - can I do this? My guess is that I somehow need to loop checking on the status of the various processes (probably by parsing ps aux output) until everything has completed. But that may be messy, and it almost certainly needs significant admin when I add new ip-up scripts. I thought about using pstree or something, to look for children of the pon script - does that work? Any pointers? Thanks, Paul Moore. PS Is it possible for a script to tell if it's running under X? Ideally, I'd like to query the user via a dialog box if in X, but use a normal stdin read otherwise... -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:2.1 N:Iannarelli;Peter FN:Peter Iannarelli ORG:GenX Internet Laboratories TITLE:Engineer TEL;WORK;VOICE:1+ 416-929-1885 TEL;WORK;FAX:1+416-929-1056 ADR;WORK:;Madison;20 Madison Ave.;Toronto;Ontario;;Canada LABEL;WORK;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Madison=0D=0A20 Madison Ave.=0D=0AToronto, Ontario=0D=0ACanada URL: URL:http://www.genxl.com EMAIL;PREF;INTERNET:[EMAIL PROTECTED] REV:19981021T105212Z END:VCARD

Thanks I'm having trouble with the VGA16 server during the configuration portion of dselect. It asks if I want it to create the configuration file and when I say yes I get a message saying that the file was not created. It then repeats the question but at that point the display becomes skewed where the message starts a third of the way across the screen and the keyboard no longer responds to anything but ^C. That gives an error and the configuration of the other files continues but the screen is still skewed and the only response I can give until the process is complete is ^C. I'm installing from a CheapBytes CD if that helps. Do they offer any kind of support? I bought the 4 disc version and the installation isn't very clear cut for us newbies.

Re: Network connection
Hello Remo: Within the /etc/init.d/network file your network route command should be specified ( for your network ). Check this file to make certain that the route arguments are correct. Every time you boot your system, the ifconfig and route directives will be issued based on the contents of the network file. Otherwise you will have to manually issue this route command every time you boot your system.

Here's what I found that might be helpful to others starting out: 1. From a virtual console, pressing Alt-Fn on the keyboard switches control to virtual console n. However when X is running, the command is ctrl-Alt-Fn. (I don't remember reading this in the documentation.) 2. As Rafael pointed out, if you install one X server (an incorrect one, perhaps?), then install a second X server, /etc/X11/Xserver will still point to the old server. (Again, an undocumented feature.) Editing the first line of the script to point to the correct server solves the problem. Now that I have X up and running (almost), there is one more nagging problem I hope someone can help with. Everything seems to run, but there is no cursor bitmap, just a 1x1/4 white rectangle that moves in response to my mouse movements. In addition, it appears that the backing store is not working: moving a window to a new location on the display moves it correctly, but the old location still maintains a snapshot image of the window. (It's as if the backgound is not responding to the repaint event.) And in a seemingly related matter menues drop down correctly only the first time selected. After that the menu's bounding rectangle appears without the content. I can tell the menu is there (but invisible) for I can hilight and select menu items. Can anyone take a guess at what's happening here? What's missing or reconfigured wrong?

HELP, I screwed up my system
Hello all: This past weekend I did a raw install of hamm. I have a few problems but I got it running and fairly stabilized. Because I am The master of disaster I thought I would fiddle around with the lilo.conf. I changed it such that it now contains append=mem=64m, then ran lilo. Now when it boots, linux tell me I have 0/0 megs of memory. and then stops. Can someone tell me how I can restore the old lilo/boot or do I have to do a complete re-install of hamm again ? NOTE: I only have the debian rescue floppy to boot from. Thanks in advance Peter -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Install troubles
Hay Wolf: What I would do in this case is remove the hardware that you don't need to perform an install. It could be an interrupt problem, or something like that. Once the system is up and running, you can put the hardware back in. Just get ride of the sound card and modem. Also; Make sure your bios settings are in default mode and you are not using the memory hole. You could also try booting another PC (if you have one). If the same thing happens, you may have a bad floppy. Peter -Original Message- From: Wolf Logan [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Debian User debian-user@lists.debian.org Date: Tuesday, March 24, 1998 5:59 AM Subject: Install troubles Howdy! I'm trying to install Debian 1.3.1 onto my no-name system. I wrote a CD with the standard distribution CD image, and wrote a Rescue disk to install with. When I boot my system with the Rescue disk, it runs the loader, loads and decompresses linux, and begins the boot process. However, at some point (I don't know where), it reboots my computer. This makes it awful tough to see where it's failing, or in what way, since the screen's gone in less than an eyeblink. My system is a EFA P5TVX motherboard with 40MB RAM. It's got several cards in it, but nothing too out-of-the-ordinary: a Diamond Stealth 3D 3000 board, a Televideo sound board, an internal modem (cheap off-brand), and a NE2000 clone network card. I realize that I'm using cheap components, so I can't expect them to work perfectly, but this business of rebooting during install is a little disconcerting. Anyone have any clue what I should look for? --- Wolf Lochland Logan Ohlone Costanoan Esselen Nation xue elo xonia eune - I come from the rock The fact is, there may be hope http://www.talamasca.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: mt setblk fails
Hello Oliver: Try looking at the mt command. It provides facilities for manipulating a tape drive. I have in the past had to use the mt setblk 0 command to read tapes from Alphas and HPs. Hope this will help. Peter -Original Message- From: Oliver Elphick olly@lfix.co.uk To: debian-user@lists.debian.org debian-user@lists.debian.org Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Monday, January 19, 1998 7:24 AM Subject: mt setblk fails I am trying to read data from a DAT tape written on a foreign machine (probably a Sun). I use dd to read from it, but invariably get 0 blocks. I am able to read a tape written by a SCO machine, but the SCO machine cannot read a tape I write. Following the SCSI HOWTO, I tried changing the hardware block size with `mt setblk 0'. Any use of `mt setblk' always gives an I/O error. The HOWTO says that GNU mt does not support this option, and mt -V says that it is the GNU version. However the man page lists setblk as an option. There seems no longer to be mt source at tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/ALPHA/scsi where the HOWTO says a copy supporting the setblk option may be found. My DAT drive is a DDS-1 cannibalised from an HP 710 workstation, model HP35470A Rev 1009 SCSI revision 2.
