Subject: [Q] make-kpkg compile OK, dpkg install fails
Date: Tue, 26 Sep 2000 17:54:39 -0500
I'm trying to get an APM enabled kernel for my laptop, which is running
Stormix (hail) distro, with kernel 2.2.16.
I install kernel-package and the source, and configure my kernel (make
config, can't find menuconfig or xconfig) by answering (default) to
every question except APM (yes, I want it).
Now I compile according to the kernel-package README (make-kpkg). It
compiles.
I install with dpkg and I get a complaint about conflict with
pcmcia-modules, and the install fails.
I don't know what to do here, and tried the various make-kpkg options to
try to affect the modules. Doesn't let dpkg succeed.
I also tried compiling with make bzImage, make modules, make
modules_install, make zlilo. With that everything completes but when I
reboot with the new kernel I get continuous module dependency failures.
(Now Debian Potato uses a 2.2.17 kernel that starts off saying "APM
enabled", and follows with "APM disabled by request". Now I didn't
request it, and a global search with KDE find for "apm" yielded zilch.
All I really want is an APM-enabled kernel and would download one from
Debian if it existed.)
I tried installing Debian 2.2.17 kernel and used its /boot/config file
as my .config file, changing the APM question to what I want. Still no
joy.
So how do I successfully compile and properly install my kernel? I'm
hoping "the Debian way" works.

what you want is known as traffic shaping, and is a kernel feature.
You'll most likely have to recompile the kernel to get it.

That depends on the type of connection (modem/DSL or LAN). But the files
are in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/.
However it will probably be easier to edit your configuration with
'netcfg'. Also you could use 'linuxconf' for this.

Date: Tue, 26 Sep 2000 20:13:25 -0400
I've installed an HP DAT drive on my RedHat 6.1 server, but I'm at a loss on
how to make the OS recognize it. Upon rebooting the server, it recognized
the Adaptec SCSI card, and installed that, however I'm clueless on how to
make the OS realize that there's a tape drive present. I'm familiar with
SCO Unix, and would use the 'mkdev tape' command, but I'm unaware of it's
equivalent in Linux, specifically RedHat. I've searched the HOW-TO's, but I
can't find anything there regarding tape drives. I'd appreciate any help
anyone can give me, and could you possibly email your response as well so I
don't miss it?

Date: Wed, 27 Sep 2000 00:22:29 GMT
This isn't specific to Linux or gcc but it might help. The 6x86 CPU
is, at its default speed, basically overclocked, and they can run
extremely hot relative to other processors. You might find that it is
more stable if you put a bigger heatsink/fan on it. Compiling is very
CPU-intensive and more vulnerable to stability problems than most
things you can do. I have had no problems compiling the kernel
(2.2.17) on my 6x86-PR150, this is Slackware 7, but I think they both
use egcs-1.1.2 so it shouldn't be much different.

You should check out www.webmin.com. It does alot more than just what you

It comes with Mandrake-Linux 7.1 and works great. It's all written in Perl

the web browser. You can even partition and format a hard disk through the

I never use the install function. I always do a "make bzImage
modules" when I compile. No installation problems with that. I
have my kernel source tree in my user directory and compile as a
normal user, so I can't be caught by surprise with a kernel going
were it's not supposed to. Now I just have to pass the extra
parameters to make the modules directories at a different place. I
tried all of this; no problems.

Hmmm, not sure what you mean here. Usually, this isn't a problem,
I've transferred kernels before. On my dual-boot box, I just made a
tar-ball of the running distro on my other computer and un-tarred it
on a 2nd hard drive of the new computer with the help of a rescue
floppy. In this instance, I had trouble getting lilo installed on
the new computer. Honestly, I'm not sure if the problem was what
you described or that my rescue floppy uses a 2.0.39 kernel with
older versions of utilities like lilo. Anyway, I got it working by
copying the kernel to the Windows drive, booting into DOS, and using
loadlin to boot the kernel and get Linux up. From there, using the
distro's lilo & friends (not the rescue disk), everything worked
fine.

Date: Wed, 27 Sep 2000 00:43:08 GMT
I've got all three here, and it depends on what you're doing =-]
The Alphas and PPC boxes are very good at floating point math, since
both of them have architecture optimized libraries and lots of floating
point registers. My PPC box is just a 2x225MHz 604e but it routinely
stomps my 2x450MHz PIII at FP.
Integer wise, it's a toss-up. About everything does equally well
MHz for MHz, so the more the merrier.
Application support, on the other hand, for i386 is much better than
for either Alpha or PPC. People typically only compile for i386, so
lots of things have to be recompiled for PPC and Alpha. The PPC
being MSB byte ordered can sometimes throw simple applications off.
I don't think that there is anything that PPC is the best at, but
it can compete with all of the other architectures very well. This
is coming from a long-time Mac bigot. But now I've become more of a
UNIX bigot and only use the Mac for printing and DNET OGR crunching.
Since LinuxPPC doesn't support MY multiple processor configuration,
I've stopped using it for anything but testing. The box also has
old, flaky memory so I can't compile anything reliably. If Apple
would just support ECC memory, I might think of running a MacOS X
server, but since they don't, it's not even an option. Only an
extreme optimist would trust normal memory.
This post is 100% my opinion, feel free to post your own.

Hi,
What did you mean by "can't find menuconfig or xconfig"? If you can't do
make menuconfig then you need some more packages(libncurses-dev if I
remember it right).
You will have to recompile the pcmcia modules again for the new kernel
you
want to install. It can be done with make-kpkg too. After installing the
pcmcia source in the same manner as the kernel source, try make-kpkg
modules_image in the kernel source tree and you get the pcmcia debball
for
your new kernel. Yes, there is debian way to do things :-)
Hope this help

You have the wrong newsgroup here. Even if most of us are plagued with winblows
one time or another we usually aren't too interested in helping those who crossed
over or those who haven't had the chance to upgrade their winblows to Linux yet.
You seem to have done the right thing, the only instances where it wouldn't work
1-The PC is crashed
2-Your fingers have touched either a key or some keys
3-You have moved the mouse.
4-No screen savers were installed
5-The PC is off
6-Shut down on dos

With netscape it doesn't seem to do much.

Subject: hosed X font server?
Date: Tue, 26 Sep 2000 18:11:12 -0700
After my first attempt at backing up the whole system to an HP 20 gig IDE tape
drive as root via:
tar cvf /dev/ht0 /
when I tried to log in as user I kept getting dumped back to the graphical
login screen. When I rebooted all went well until X windows tried to start
automatically and I got a black screen. After _quickly_ bailing out, I
found I could boot into run level 3 O.K. When I tried to do anything
involving writing to a file the error message said file system was full.
Had to delete some log files before I could do anything else.
When I try "startx" the error message is:
Failed to set default font path 'unix/:-1'
_FontTransSocketUNIXConnect: can't connect: errno=111
Fatal Server Error:
could not open default font 'fixed'
When I look at /etc/X11/XF86Config I see:
font path "unix/:-1"
I've done a couple of successful rescues in the past, which for
my level of experience is a small triumph, but this one has me snowed. I
can't figure out why the file system suddenly is full after creating an
archive on the tape. Also, I can't figure out the font server problem.
The docs I've read don't seem to address this. I'm almost to the point of
blowing Linux away and reinstalling, but I wouldn't learn anything that
way.
I'm running Redhat 6.0
Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.

Upgarde to SuSE 7.0 then download the latest Netscape 4.75 from their website,
not from Netscape. It works great under Gnome and they true fonts look good.

The internal LAN NIC.
e.g.
your router will have 2 IPs, 1 is the IP assigned by your ISP.
the second is for your internal network.
supposing you use 192.168.10.1 as the IP for your LAN then the
windows machines should have 192.168.10.1 as their gateway.
better yet, setup your router as a DHCP server (thats what I did) also
and leave windows alone. :)
