2002-11-29 Thread Jerome BENOIT
Hello All,

I have just build a buid a new kernel with the patch LPP
and configured my Debian boxe as suggestd in the document file.

Every thing look find, exept the last stage:
the picture stay.
Apparently the command line

`echo 101 /proc/progress '

in the suggested `/etc/init.d/rc' script does not work.
I tried the command by hand, `/proc/progress' stood unchanged.

Any idea ?
Thanks in advance,
Jerome

My question is, will TV output on, say, a GeForce 4 MX or some cheap nVidia
card be difficult to configure for video output to the television; are the
Linux drivers easily capable of doing it?  I currently have a pretty plain
installation of Debian Woody with a newly compiled 2.4.19 kernel.



from where can we get the `2.4.19 kernel' for Woody ?

router + laptop: naive question

2003-12-22 Thread Jerome BENOIT
Hello List

I am currently configuring my router which I plan to use exclusively 
with my laptop to connect to the internet through wire or/and wireless 
connections:
now the IP of my router is in fact the former IP of my laptop,
whereas my laptop has a local IP ( 192.168.2.NNN ):
formely I could connect from other computers to my laptop (scp),
now I cannot: is there a way to configure my stuff in such a way that
the other computers think that my router is in fact my laptop ?

Yes, but it is completely dependent upon the router, so nothing really
related to you computer. Check the router's documentation/manufacturer.
Unfortunately, my router is quite a black box and its documentation
is very poor:
can we do that througth the dhclient ?

Though your intention is clear and well described (and well understood, I
think), your question remains naive, as you wrote. Because it can be done,
but requires a sound understanding of networking and especially a deep
cooperation of your router. As long as the latter remains a black box, I
don't bet on your chances. 
good to know.

Have you thought of getting a good one (or a Linux extra box as router) ?

As a matter of fact I would like to be sure that I cannot do anything

I have to envisage to buy a good one.

Depending on your cash-flow, pocket-money and whatnot, (interest, time and

You probably have the modelines option set to 0,
Indeed !

which appears to be the
default in /etc/vim/vimrc in some recent Debian vim packages. You can
override that in ~/.vimrc if you want.
I'm not sure I agree with the default; if hazardous modelines are
possible then that in itself is a bug which needs to be fixed by more
than just changing the default, but you may want to read about it for
yourself.

Re: wireless + wired + dhcp +... : unproper default route

Thanks for your reply.

Matt Foster wrote:
Quoting Jerome BENOIT ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):

Thanks for your reply: fellowing the below advice
I wrote an adquate script that I put in the directory
/etc/network/if-post-down.d
to set a default route when it is missing:
route add default gw default ip

According to the man page we can specify the Iface,
instead to let the kernel to chose for us,
by adding something as `dev eth0':
I have tried it, but each time
the default route seems to be blocked after a while
(except when I set the kernel favorite Iface).
My basic idea was to write after some basic checks:

route del default
route add default gw default ip dev fastest connected iface
but as I sait I got into troubles:

I guess I missed something:
any idea ?
Thanks in advance,
Jerome


This may just be me being dense,
I was asking for a hint.

Please note that I am not (yet) familiar with network stuff.

but why the 'if-post-down.d' directory, as
opposed to the 'if-up.d' directory? Surely it would be more logical to
change the routing tables when a new interface comes up? 
in my /etc/network/interface I wrote

iface eth0 inet dhcp

iface wlan0 inet dhcp
  wireless_option value
so the routing table is managed by the dhcp manchinerie.
This work fine when only one iface is involved,
but troubles emerge when the two ifaces are involved.
For the post-down why, please see below.

What kind of troubles ddi you have with the route exactly? 

Up to now I encoutered two cases:
1]
my wireless iface (wlan0) and my wired iface (eth0) are plugged
(my automation scheme used ifplugd): I can do basic stuff.
Now if the iface that hold the default route is unplugged,
then the default route is removed by ifdown (called by ifplugd).
In other words I have no more default route,
hence my post-down action to set up the default route
(when the other card is still present):
route add default gw default ip

This just mimics what /etc/dhcp3/dhclient-script does.
And it works.
2]
My second point is that the choice of the default route iface
is done by the kernel since the above command contains no `dev' option.
So as my wired connection is far faster than my wireless connection,
I want the eth0 iface as my default interface when possible:
to do so, I try the fellowing:
route del default
route add default gw default ip dev eth0
and to check the routing table:

ping ping.symantec.com

If the default iface was eth0 before the `del' action,
the  pinging is ok;
but if the default was `wlan0',
the pinging is ok for a short time,
and then it is lost.
Note that for my wlan0 iface, I have to used the fresh ndiswrapper 
driver, so may be the trouble come from there.

Thanks,
Jerome

You mean freezes, does the popup appear that announces he is preparing

 2GB isn't half of 1GB.

I am sorry for my english:
2GB is the half of 4GB

 In any case I would expect that the useable
 swap space is less than the partition size you allocated due to book
 keeping overhead.  On my machine, cfdisk shows 255.47 MB.  'free -m'
 shows a total of 243MB.  The overhead should not be very significant
 (ie half).  On my system I have about 5% overhead.

 You can't get every option at the same time.  For example, you can't
 have ethernet support as module, then make the tulip driver built-in.
 Also some features require other features.  For example you must
 choose to enable auto-network configuration (bootp/dhcp) at boot time
 in order to have the option of choosing root-over-NFS.
 
 In general see what features that particular option might require and
 select it.  (the Code Maturity option is a requirement of a lot of
 other options)

 Jerome,
 
 I am not sure I fully understand your problem, but here goes...
 
 The purpose of the make menuconfig process is to create a current
 .config file that the system uses for the rest of the compile process.
 If there is an EXISTING /usr/src/linux/.config file, it will use it
 as a starting point for your configuration.  At the end you will be
 asked if you want to save the new config, and if you say yes, the
 original /usr/src/linux/.config is re-named to .oldconfig and a new
 .config file is created.
 
 If you start off with a clean kernel source tree, it will NOT have an
 existing .config file, hence the fall-back to the arch/i386/defconfig
 file placed there by the kernel maintainers.  This is a very
 CONSERVATIVE file that will NOT prompt you for any options considered
 experimental by the kernel maintainers.  If you look at this file with
 a text editor, you will see that CONFIG_EXPERMENTAL is not set.  This
 provides a very basic or bare-bones starting point and probably is
 your problem.  The RTL8139 module selection only shows up when you
 choose the prompt for experimental... option under the main Code
 Maturity Level section at the start of the menu process.  Turn it on
 first, and I bet you will see the RTL8139 module option listed later on
 in the Network Devices section.
 
 The .config file for your current operating Debian kernel is stored in
 /boot as config-kernel version.  I would use this as your starting
 point for the compilation, as most of the things that will mess you up
 are already taken care of.  If you only want to make some minor changes
 over your current setup, then this is the way to go.  Here is what I
 would do:
 
 1.  In your /usr/src/linux directory remove any existing .config file.
 You can probably do this by running make clean and/or make mrproper.
   You should probably do this to remove any stale files from previous
 compiles and make sure you have a clean source tree.
 
 2.  Copy the /boot/config-X file to /usr/src/linux/.config.
 (Note that is a DOT CONFIG in the /usr/src/linux directory!!)
 
 3.  Run your favorite config program to select/modify the options you
 want. (make config, make meuconfig, make xconfig).
 
 4.  Run make dep
 
 5.  Proceed with the rest of the compile using either of the available
 methods.
 
 This should get you going
 
 Cheers  Good Luck!

FYI: I sent an email a week or two ago to this
list which was somewhat wordy but did explain
that I need CDs specifically. But I got no
replies, probably because it was too wordy, so
I decided next time to send a much shorter,
more direct set of questions. Sorry for the
lack of context that time around!

For those curious about why I need CDs...
here's the wordy explanation.

My Debian machine is at home. It's not on the net,
so I needed to install from CD. I'm typing this
email from my work PC, which I can't mess with,
so I don't have Debian installed on it, so I can't
directly use aptitude to download packages.

I'm not a Debian guru; I just prefer the environ-
ment to Windows. In my spare time, I've written a
novel on it, using vi, LaTeX, ps2pdf (and python).
But much of my hardware didn't work, e.g. I wanted
to use the CD-drive to do scheduled backups, and
to be able to print, but I was using an ancient
version of Debian which didn't have all the
drivers or kernel modules. So I was stuck with
a dual-boot Windows solution, which was not
ideal. I'd rather not need to boot into Windows
ever! I decided to freshly install a more recent
version of Debian.

So, I downloaded ISO images, and just created
the first 2 Debian CDs. This proved to be more
than adequate to install a functional base
desktop system in under 2GB of disk, but a few
things were still missing. I didn't want to
create all of the other 12 CDs just to get a few
packages, so I thought I'd ask what CDs they
are on. Although I can use the web at work to
discover package dependencies, I didn't know
how to discover which CDs those packages are on.

In my case, the answer seems to be disk 3, and
the link http://www.debian.org/CD/jigdo-cd/#search
lets you search for specific files. So I now have
a two stage process I can use to find all the
dependencies, then find the CDs they are on.
(Since my PC's apt database only knows about the
first two CDs which it has been exposed to, it
had no way of telling me to insert CD 3 when I
want LaTeX. Indeed, there was no way inside
aptitude to select LaTeX... it's not listed yet.)
I didn't know this online search facility existed,
so I think that will solve my problems.

Thank you to one and all, and I hope this has
satisfied any curiosity.

Loki

This is a font problem.  You need to have all the same fonts (or
suitable substitutes) or the characters will get mangled like you are
seeing. 


How can we have the necessary font on a Debian (Etch) box ?

This is one of the drawbacks of using a document format that

because my username on workstation and remote1 differ.

I'm curious if there is a way I can configure ssh to automatically use
the username foo when connecting to remote1.


The configuration file ~/.ssh/config is meant to do so: for further information:

man ssh_config

Of course there are other solutions.  I could use an alias or shell

different usernames per remote host.

I compiled 2.6.12.5 http://2.6.12.5 with gcc-4.0 without any trouble 
yesterday. A whole lot of warnings, but no errors. Thus I also suggest 
using gcc-3.x for your kernel as Marc Wilson said, or get a later kernel

Yep. Udev had a bug like this in unstable a few weeks ago. It should
still be in the BTS. It is fixed in unstable, but I don't know why it
isn't in testing. Do you have any custom rules in /etc/udev/rules.d for
your network hardware?


no

What kernel module do you use for wifi?

I use ndiswrapper (1.15 stable)

Which version of udev is that? 0.091-2?


0.091-2



One new thing about the 0.09x udev packages is that there is now a
built-in mechanism to generate persistent naming rules for network
devices. (The installer runs into trouble when network devices switch
names on reboot after the base installation.) I suspect that something
went wrong with this generation of the persistent rules on your system.

Please post the content of the file

I think it is suspicious that your PCI 10b7:9200 device shows up twice
as eth0, especially since the first occurrence has the same MAC address

Well, I have no experience with bridging network devices, but I have the
impression that it has led to some confusion when the persistent udev
rules for the network devices were created. I would first try to disable
bridging and configure udev correctly for the individual devices.

I think you should comment out one of the eth0 lines in your
z25_persistent-net.rules. Then you have to find out the correct hardware
addresses for both cards and put them in the appropriate lines in this
file. If the bridge is still active you might be able to get the
addresses with brctl showmacs br1, but I don't know how to reliably
tell which card is the wireless one. If the bridge is disabled you
should be able to use a combination of ip link, ifconfig,
iwconfig, udevinfo -a -p /class/net/eth0 and udevinfo -a -p
/class/net/wlan0_temp to identify the HW addresses unambiguously. After
you set up the persistent rules file correctly you should get eth0 and
wlan0 after a reboot. (Note: Some tools might report the hexadecimal
numbers in the HW address using uppercase letters [A-F]; for the udev
rules you need to use lowercase [a-f].)

Once it works for the individual devices you can activate the bridging
again. If this screws things up it is probably appropriate to file a bug
against udev.

Have you tried kpdf? I ditched acroread a few months ago for it.


I cannot find in the menu how to import a public certificate (*.fdf

$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list

#acroread:
deb http://ftp.debian-unofficial.org/debian testing main contrib
non-free restricted
deb-src http://ftp.debian-unofficial.org/debian testing main contrib

The only thing aptitute is able to do is remove cvs ... which I use
all the time. Am I doing something wrong or debian-unofficial does not
have acroread anymore...


debian-unofficial seems tohave some trouble.
Any how you can get acroread from Marillat site:
have a look to

www.debian-multimedia.org

firefox connects to undesired place

2006-06-09 Thread Jerome BENOIT

Hello List,

by doing 


lsof -i

I have noticed that firefox connects my box to

aXXX-XXX-X-XXX.deploy.akamaitechnologies.com

where X stands for a decimal digit.

I do not like it:
since my observation I am trying to filter cookies,
but apparently this come from somewhere else.

Any idea ?

I have some trouble with secure-testing.debian.net :

May be you have a similar issue:

Re: ntpdate troubles

2002-06-19 Thread Jerome BENOIT


So I would guess this means that you cannot get to the machine
you are ntpdate'ing against.  You showed that it worked when you
did it against ntp.apple.com.  I assume that it also works when
you debug it by hand?  If so, I would guess that Joris'
suggestion is a good one:

  Joris on my machine, I haven't got ntpdate to work out the
  Joris hostnames of any ntp server. I just pinged them, copied
  Joris the ip's and dpkg-reconfigure'd ntp to look for the
  Joris ip's. It has worked ever since.




I have just tried

ntpdate 17.254.0.26

and I got exactly the same error message
(17.254.0.26 is the ip btained via ping for ntp.apple.com)

Very strange !

Another stupid question: You *ARE* doing this as root, right?  It

Yes



The manpage for ntpdate says that -d won't actually set the
clock.  Does ntpdate -v -B ntp.apple.com work (that is, without
the -d)?


without the -d it does not work.

That the point:
I CANNOT set the clock !

-d and -q seem to neutralize the setting operation:
in a few words, ntpdate only fails to set the clocks.



If not, then you are probably correct that it's a privilege
problem somewhere  Of course, at boot time it *WOULD* be run
as root.  Unless you are using a name at boot time and that name
is not being resolved into an IP.  Did you try rebooting, making
sure that ntpdate would use an IP at boot time?


There is the same error message in the syslog file.




So many questions.  So little time.  (No pun intended! :-)

Thank you for your message.

My kernel is a standard one: 2.2.19 (potato).
But I biuld my own kernle with `make-kpkg'

may be I removed an option that I should not.

Since I have the same troubles with another

Have you done any messing with capabilities?  In src/kernel/time.c:

/* In order to modify anything, you gotta be super-user! */
if (txc-modes  !capable(CAP_SYS_TIME))
return -EPERM;

Also, are you using a standard kernel or a custom one?  I'm thinking that
maybe the adjtimex() system call got broken somehow, as that's what
ntpdate uses to set the time.

 You can't. It's a one-way trapdoor function. Wouldn't be much point

I guess that I missed something:

I just installed the 3.3p1-0.0potato6, and did not have the X11 forwarding.  
So I changed...

/etc/ssh/sshd_config:
X11Forwarding yes

/etc/ssh/ssh_config:
Host localhost
ForwardAgent yes
ForwardX11 yes

All worked after that...  Hope it helps,

Re: OpenSSH-potato

2002-06-26 Thread Jerome BENOIT

Restarting the uptodate sshd after the suggested correction
on the my computer and on the remote host
seems to fix the problem:

Note that added lines in the `/etc/ssh/ssh_config'
were present in the previous package:
is it a bug or a secrity feature ?

Thanks for your helps,
Jerome

Potato and sftp

2002-06-28 Thread Jerome BENOIT

Hello All !

it seems that `sftp' is not available for the Stable and testing
distribution:
I just wonder why:
is it linking to the fact that the openssh package version was
old ?

Thanks,

Ok I got it !
I guess that I was supposed to insert a media inside the recorder.

Anyhow, it works fine if I do so.

Sure.  Use cdrecord-ProDVD or else dvd+rw-tools.


Right cdrecord-ProDVD works,
but my concern was the patch.

Anyow, I have installed cdrecord-ProDVD on my box.

IMHO you should always use the best solution available, and the patch...
ain't it.



My concern was also to manage the issue in a Debian way:
the best solution is certainely to install the cdrecord-ProDVD
