Packages being removed from a stable release is often mentioned in the news of the new release, see here for example. http://www.debian.org/News/2005/20050416 There's also a page here, listing software that cannot be packaged, http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/unable-to-package None of these are easy to find, and not really what you are looking for, so I can see why it's a bit frustrating.

Re: mozilla, cups and kprinter: Printing is no fun

Dear all!
Are there any suggestions as to howto setup printing systemwide for
firefox, iceweasel, icedove and other gnome applications?
We have nfs-mounted home-directories, use a cups-server for printing,
and most users use kde and kprinter.
We use debian sarge, but I tested the following also with etch, since
etch is close enough to be released.
# aptitude purge firefox
# aptitude install firefox
$ rm -rf .mozilla/
$ firefox
...to set all to default values.
There are several issues:
1. all printers detected by firefox's printing system have paper size
set to 'letter' ignoring
# cat /etc/papersize
a4
Manually editing all the printer settings to a4 is not preserved on
upgrades of firefox.
2. selection of a printer is not remembered. Each time a user prints a
page, the first printer in the list is selected. Ie. if a user prints 5
web pages on printer C, each time printer C has to be selected manually.
3. firefox's print dialog doesn't care about printer options. It is not
possible to select or deselect duplex printing etc.
4. header and footer lines (containing page numbers, urls, etc) are
printed only half or are completely outside the printer's margins.
5. firefox 1.5 default print command,
lpr ${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME: '-P'}${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME}
doesn't work at all at our configuration.
I guess there are some settings in about:config that could be changed,
but this has to be repeated each time there is an upgrade of firefox,
this has to be repeated for icedove, this has to be performed for each
user. I would rather have a system setting for all workstations and all
users.
How do other debianists deal with it? Is there a 'nice' debian solution,
just editing some files in /etc?
Today, a technical assistant considered these (especially 2. and 3.) as
release critical for herself and went back to use Windows NT 4.0 again
instead of debian sarge.
For myself, I wouldn't consider M$ software a solution, but I am also
terribly annoyed by not being able to print properly and hassle free
from mozilla applications. (In particular, it's always that extra step
of manually selecting the printer 'default/postscript' and redirecting
it to kprinter.)
Thanks,
Johannes
NB:
On debian etch:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060830
Firefox/1.5.0.7 (Debian-1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.7-2)
xprint xprint-common are not installed. Those, if anything, made matters
worse, the last time I tried it.
Go into about:config and delete the problem printer setting.

Re: exim4: how to handle other addresses on my ISP?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Chris Metzler wrote: Here's my situation and what I want: 1. I have a machine with no domain of its own, in the sense that I haven't registered a domain or anything like that. My ISP is speakeasy.net. Outgoing email goes to a smarthost. Incoming email is pulled in by fetchmail and handed off to exim4. 2. Various users on this machine have email adresses registered with the ISP of the form [EMAIL PROTECTED] When one of my local users sends an outgoing email, exim4 appends @speakeasy.net to the local username. 3. Likewise, if you were to send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], fetchmail on my machine should eventually grab it and pass it to exim4 here. This apparently means that when I've configured exim4 using dpkg- reconfigure, I need to tell exim4 that speakeasy.net should be added to the list of domains for which this machine should consider itself the final destination. If I don't do that, then when exim4 receives from fetchmail an email for [EMAIL PROTECTED], exim4 immediately passes that email back on to the ISP's smarthost (because we aren't a final destination for @speakeasy.net), and around and around we go. 4. But if I do that -- if I tell exim4 that speakeasy.net should be added to the list of domains for which this machine should consider itself the final destination, then that means I'm unable to send email to other users of this ISP that have nothing to do with my machine (since they all have addresses like [EMAIL PROTECTED]). Right now, if I send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], exim4 notes that it's been told that *I'm* the end destination for email to the domain speakeasy.net, and cheerily reminds me that there's no one on this machine by that username. Is there a simple solution to this? Or is it time for me to roll my sleeves up and learn exim4 in more detail? If someone can clarify what I'm doing wrong through dpkg-reconfigure, or point me at some helpful documentation, I'd be very grateful. Just send your mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and it will be delivered locally instead of sent to the smarthost.

Re: breakage of setserial in Sarge
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Uwe Dippel wrote: setserial is broken, with respect to several aspects. Here is my story: Internal Modem on ttyS2 (COM3), IRQ5. Since the Linux kernel is too dumb to find out (the BSDs always find on their own, but this is another topic), I install setserial. Immediately it asks and suggests 'autosave once'. Okay, done. But it doesn't recognise my modem with the correct parameters. So I have to issue setserial /dev/ttyS2 irq 5 Now the modem works. How to save the state for after a boot ? On RH I used setserial stop. Tried, doesn't work. That's okay, we are on Debian. man setserial says: /etc/serial.conf But it doesn't exist. The archive says: dpkg-reconfigure setserial. It asks me if I want to save the current state (autoconfigure once), and I say 'yes'. But still, it doesn't survive the boot. It also does not produce a serial.conf. We have to admit, that man setserial is wrong, and the function of saving the configuration beyond a reboot is broken. Here is how to do it: Install setserial, click 'autosave once'. Make your modem work using setserial with all necessary options. Once it works and setserial -bg /dev/ttyS* shows the good values, apt-get remove --purge setserial apt-get install setserial Now the reboot should be okay. Reason: 1. the automatic configuration at install is the only time when the file is written. A dpkg-reconfigure will simply do nothing. Plus it fails to warn that it will *not save anything*. 2. contrary to logic and man pages, the config is saved as /var/lib/setserial/autoserial.conf 3. the dpkg --configure started immediately before install is logically wrong: since there is no setserial before you install setserial, all settings are default settings, taken from BIOS / Kernel. There is no need at all to save them 'autosave once'; because any reboot will bring them back. Only after one or more setserial commands will a 'save' be of any use. Worse: only *after* using setserial does 'autosave once' make any sense. But then it does not accept new values any longer. Shoddy quality control, sorry to say. For those not having read the full story and asking how should it work ?: 1. go back to saving the configuration under /etc/ 2. do not 'force' an autosave at install. Rather ask: Do you want to save your settings now ? Probably you don't, because you installed setserial to change the default settings, right ? So you better chose No now; fix the settings for your serial ports. When you are done, run dpkg-reconfigure setserial to store your settings to be permanent and survive a reboot. When the choice is 'Yes', the current menu comes up. At the suggested 'No', the dpkg --configure setserial is exited. When the settings are done, dpkg-reconfigure setserial will 'autosave once' create the serial.conf in /etc/ Uwe Perhaps you should read /usr/share/doc/setserial/README.Debian.gz See /usr/share/doc/setserial/serial.conf for a sample serial.conf file if you need one. Also check bugs.debian.org as there are some known bugs which will affect SOME users.

Re: libc6: did it move from unstable to testing?
Kevin Coyner wrote: O.k., so it seems as if libc6 has moved to testing and that packages.d.o is just a bit behind. No problem. But I guess I'm still a bit surprised that this upgrade forced me to uninstall php4 (at least the forced uninstall is better than simply breaking it). Anyway, I need to run php. Am I correct in assuming that if I want to run php4, I'll have to apt-get -t unstable install php4 and that if I do this, that it will seek out all of the upgrade dependencies it needs from unstable. For example, if I check the dependencies of php4 unstable, I see that it requires apache-common 1.3.27, yet my current testing version is 1.3.26-1.1. So will this automatically get updated to unstable too? And perhaps further dependencies down the line as well, in essence making this box a sid box? Sorry for the detailed and probably somewhat obvious question, but I switched over to Debian last summer, and am loving it. But this is the first time I've encountered this type of situation where a testing package upgrade (libc6) caused an incompatitibility with another testing package, in the case php4. Perhaps that's why they call it testing? There was an announcement two days ago or so in Debian-Devel. It was mentioned that there would be some problems with a number of packages for a while. Specifically mentioned was php4 as I recall. The recommendation was to either wait a couple of weeks or so to do updates, or to install php4 from unstable. The announcement was aprox 30 hours before the libc6 move to testing.

Re: Rebooting under a customized kernel

That is, on boot up while it's doing the, what is it LILO 2.22 something like that, it gets started and then starts over, and over, and over, and. So, I noticed that my initrd.img is pointed to /boot/initrd.img-2.4.18-386, whereas the custom kernel is 2.4.18. Note that 2.4.18-386 is the previous kernel, which I can boot into. So, I'm thinking there should probably be a custom initrd.img for my custom kernel, no? Depends on how you built your kernel. If you built all the nessary stuff to boot into the kernel, you do not need an initrd.img. In which case, you would remove reference to it from your /etc/lilo.conf file (in the section that references your new kernel), and rerun lilo. Sounds like you are looking at the new kernel after booting on the old initrd.img. Actually, you can reference both in lilo.conf and boot from either. See man lilo.conf. Also man mkinitrd. There is also good information in /usr/share/doc/mkinitrd as i recall. Something like this: ## portion of lilo.conf default=Linux image=/vmlinuz label=Linux read-only image=/vmlinuz.old label=LinuxOLD initrd=/initrd.img read-only optional ## end of lilo.conf Make sure image initrd point to the required file locations, or symlinks to the required locations.

Re: D-Link DFE-530TX: the -REAL- driver
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Raphael Bustin) writes: I found a very interesting page on D-Link's website: http://support.dlink.com/faq/view.asp?prod_id=487 wherein a clue may perhaps be found. It seems that Revisions A, B and C of this board (the DFE-530TX+) do indeed use rtl8139.o from the standard distribution. However: For Rev. D1 and D2 of this card, the web page says, quite specifically and in no uncertain terms: DFE-530TX+ revision D1 and D2 must have the driver compiled from the floppy. Indeed. This evening I gave up on this debian installation and decided to rebuild it from scratch. Interestingly enough, the rtl18139 driver fails to install even during the initial OS setup. This would explain a lot. It seems I either need to get a less-exotic NIC, or deal with building this module from source. There is nothing exotic about these cards. The DFE-530TX uses the via-rhine driver. The DFE-530TX+ uses the RealTek RTL8139 chip. Early DFE-530TX+ cards have a generic RealTek ID, later cards have a DLink ID. If you have one of the later + cards, it may need a driver which recognizes the later ID.

Re: newline in terminal??
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Rohan Deshpande) writes: Hi everyone, I was just wondering why this is happening: When I am typing in a terminal, i.e. a long directory, at the end of the terminal's width, the text does not start on a new line. It just overwrites what text is already on screen; it works properly if all the text is entered in but i can't see all of the text. Any ideas? You have non-printing character in your command prompt, perhaps? This can cause all kinds of strange things to happen. Especially when on the bottom line of the terminal. If so, try this (from man bash) -- \[ begin a sequence of non-printing characters, which could be used to embed a terminal con trol sequence into the prompt \] end a sequence of non-printing characters Paul -- * For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son, * * that whoever believes in Him should not perish...John 3:16 *

Put a file called local (or whatever you want) in /etc/init.d/ and then use update-rc.d to set it up to run. See man update-rc.d.

Re: Dual Serial port
Did you ever trace those pins? They go nowhere! After many years in the business, I have never found any equipment where ALL these were implemented for anything. [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Lazar Fleysher) writes: Hello everybody! Most probably this is a strange question but I thought maybe some one knows the answer... As far as I understand a regular 25 pin serial port has 2 serial ports built-in on one chip. All serial lines which are needed for most communitcation devices (TxD RTS DTR RxD CTS DSR DCD RI) are doubled! The secondary ones are almost completely specified by the RS232 (STxD SRTS SDTR SRxD SCTS SDCD) one would need to choose SDSR and SRI and I think that is possible with some pins left. With that, it implyes that it is possible to operate 2 serial devices on a single serial port prived there is driver support for it and one will have to build a cable-splitter to split primary and secondary serial lines to go to separate devices. That are your thoughts? Are there any resticions in the way the data is stored inside the serial port itself? -- * For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son, * * that whoever believes in Him should not perish...John 3:16 *
