The setfont program is what you want if you only want to change the font. It is in the kbd package. BTW, have you run Slackware before?

Help needed: weired name resolving behavior
I just managed to nail down a problem that appears every now and then with name resolution. One of our name servers - the first listed in resolv.conf - is currently down and I was not able to resolve anything until I changed the order of the nameserver entries in resolv.conf. Before I did that e.g. ping www.uni-hamburg.de just gave me ping: unknown host www.uni-hamburg.de after a decent while. I always thought that the nameserver entries are tried subsequently until one try succeeds or there is none left and that's what the resolv.conf man page says, too: [...] use the name server on the local machine. (The algorithm used is to try a name server, and if the query times out, try the next, until out of name servers, then repeat trying all the name servers until a maximum number of retries are made). [...] Just for completeness, my (fairly simple) resolv.conf domain dkrz.de nameserver 136.172.100.240 136.172.60.68 136.172.60.241 So, am I missing something? Am I doing something wrong?

Installing Debian Problem: can't see parallel port CD
Hi, A friend of mine wants to install Debian on his laptop. He recently ordered the CDs and tried to install it using a CD drive attached to his parallel port. He tells me that unfortunately linux didn't recognise the parallel port, or atleast, couldn't access his CD through it. Any ideas? I'm sorry this information is a bit vague at the moment, but I haven't been able to have a personal look at it yet. My friend is actually a senior member of the mathematics department of my university and has a fair degree of influence, so it would be good to have him become a Debian user. However if he can't get Debian working soon, I suspect he will go for another distribution.

Re: Matlab for Debian?
We have matlab 5 working on our Debian system. There is one inconsistency with a library, but you can resolve it with the information given on Mathworks web site and the installation manual. matlab 4 will not work, because there is no license manager. Our license server is a SGI machine, so we don't have experience with the license manager running on a Debian system.

want to check your info/{pre,post}{inst,rm} files.
It might be easier to dpkg --get-selections, backup /etc, /home,
/usr/local and whatever else, and reload, doing dpkg --set-selections

Re: Matlab for Debian?
( Re Message From: Mark Phillips ) Can you get Matlab for Debian? Someone told me that Matlab is only supported by RedHat. Does anyone know? Thanks. Mark Phillips [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Mathworks sell Matlab for Linux. It would probably work on any well-put-together Linux distribution. However, MathWorks are careful about what platforms they are prepared to guarantee support for, and at present they mention Red Hat 4.x or Slackware 96 with X Windows X11R6. See http://www.mathworks.com/productsdata/matrix/ and select the Intel PC - Linux platform in the left-hand panel. An alternative to MatLab which is worth considering is octave, which is GPL software closely compatible with MatLab in many respects. The main differences are a) Octave graphics is distinctly less capable than Matlab's, and not interactive (being based on gnuplot by default, but you can try to enhance this using some other graphics package -- not trivial, but possible); b) MatLab's many toolboxes and other add-ons for particular classes of task have little counterpart in octave (though there are quite a few contributed m-file packages for octave), and the equivalent of MatLab's dynamically linkable .mex files has only recently been approximately emulated in octave (I don't yet know how close this emulation is). However, as many have found, the close compatibility means that many, though not all, .m files written for MatLab will work in octave with little or no modification. I don't think (though I stand to be corrected) that any MatLab .mex file will work as it stands with even the latest octave. You would probably have to work out how to create your own. For octave, ftp to ftp.che.wisc.edu/pub/octave Pre-compiled binaries are in ftp.che.wisc.edu:/pub/octave/BINARIES: I'm not sure whether the very latest (2.0.8) has yet been compiled up for Linux.

i had the same problem. You can check that -10.deb is about 500+ K
while -10.2 is about 270K. The reason is that -10.2 is packaged
without modules - no FvwmTaskbar, no FvwmPager etc.
I've downgraded to -10.deb
OK
Guess I will also downgrade to -10.deb which works fine for me. Perhaps
the FvwmTaskbar and FvwmPager will be packaged seperately in the near
future.
No, sorry to say you're wrong here.
There must be a reason they were omitted from -10.2.
And although I'd be inclined to say this statement _should_ be right,
I (the one who packaged -10.2) don't know the reason, and I feel
like there sortof isn't one.
Another of life's little mysteries.
Now here you are absolutely right. Other people have reported that
simply rebuilding -10.2 fixed the missing modules, so that's what I
plan to do when I release 10.3, but why-oh-why they are missing in 10.2
is completely beyond me.

Module Version
I'm a bit of a Linux Debian Newbie, so excuse me if this is a bit of a dumb question. I've recently changed the setup if my machine. I have two IDE hard disks and an IDE CD-ROM drive (Oh I wish I could afford SCSI). My motherboard is a Pentium Triton type thing with two on-board IDE channels. I also have an AWE32 Plug and Pray card. I had been using DOS Loadlin to initialize the cards and then boot into Linux, but I got bored with that. My original setup was. Motherboard - IDE Primary - Hard disk 1 - Hard disk 2 Motherboard - IDE Secondary - CDROM AWE32 - IDE Tertiary - Not used. After reading various documents about IDE and SCSI I decided (rightly or wrongly) That I would get better performance by changing to the following setup. Motherboard - IDE Primary - Hard disk 1 Motherboard - IDE Secondary - Hard disk 2 AWE32 - IDE Tertiary - CDROM So I did this. I also installed LILO to boot directly into Linux, set up isapnp and Installed that into the startup scripts using the install thingy that I forget the name of now because I'm at work. Now my problem was, the IDE controller on the AWE32 is PnP. So it is not initialized until the isapnp script is run. And this is run after the Kernel is booted, so it doesn't spot the CDROM because the controller doesn't exist so to speak. Excuse me if this is a bit long winded, but I'm getting to the point. After reading some more Documentation to do with isapnp I found a little 'c' prog in one of the README files (README.ide I think) that acted like a module, but just told the kernel that the IDE controller existed after it had been set up by isapnp. I compiled the 'module' and did an insmod. Lo and Behold my CDROM drive worked. I'm impressed. It took some digging, but I got it to work. Now. The only problem I have is that when I insmod the 'module' I get a warning saying that it was compiled under kernel version 2.0.29 and I have to force it to load. Am I right in thinking that this is because of the headers of libc5 (I read the unofficial e-mail from Linus about Debians attitude towards kernel headers). And if so, is there any way that I can compile this module so that it doesn't matter what kernel version I am running? Would it be all right to do this? The module is only about 4-5 lines of code. I could always just put up with the warning, but I prefer to have things tidy. What is the Proper way (tm) of doing this.

shadow passwd
With my many recent problems with my machine, I have decided to upgrade to 1.3. I think the developers have done a nice job with the instalation disks, because I noticed a few added features that might help out new users to debian/linux. Anyway, I decided to go with shadow passwd this time around, I know it's bad that I haven't gotten to it before, but basically it was a toy for awhile... now I'm getting some usage/users on it. This brings me to my question. Is there away to take my backup I made of the /etc/passwd and convert it to the shadow passwd? I know for Solaris that you can cut/paste users into /etc/passwd, then run a command to move the encrypted passwords into the shadow file. I'm sorry to ask such a basic question, but I'm currently doing an ftp install, so I don't have manpages/info on it, and I know the users want to get back on as soon as possible. I hope you can forgive me this once, heh.

Hi,
I've installed 'suck' on my Debian/box over the weekend and
run it to get news OK. However, I'd like to know how should
I make it to save the news articles in some directory according

I'd like to have all articles save in:

Installation problem
Hi, I have a PC on loan from work, which I would really, really like to install Linux on. I successfully installed Debian on the last two PC's they gave me, but am having trouble with this one. The problem comes when I start the rescue disk (1997-05-30) right at the beginning of installation. It starts up fine, loads root.bin, loads linux, uncompresses it and starts to boot the kernel. Some messages fly by and then it simply reboots. The text disappears too fast to get anymore than the last two lines of text which are along the lines of :- Ramdisk blah initialized blah Loop device driver blah installed blah This happens every time. I even tried compiling my own kernel and replaced the one on the rescue disk with it. Same result. It's a Tulip Vision Line de 486dx/e (33Mhz - EISA) with 40 Mb of memory, a .5Gb IDE drive and a Colorado 250 Mb Tape Drive (Through the Floppy Drive).

The command mailq should be on your system. It essentially runs sendmail -bp which prints the queue. You may wish to use mailq | head or mailq | less depending on the size of the current queue.

Re[4]: Installation 1.3 failed (SOLVED: tape ultra scsi)
My install problem resided in an ultra [ie, fast-20, 20 MHz, not wide-scsi]
speed scsi drive.
Ultra-scsi worked, tape drives worked, but an ultra-scsi disk drive and
a scsi tape drive would not work on the same daisy chain.
On bootup, I entered my Adaptec 2940UW setup to disable ultra-scsi speed.
Below I give the history of my problem with some error messages I saw.
I have two disk drives, one ultra-scsi and one fast-scsi,
which Debian uses well.
Last month, I bought a used Exabyte 8200 tape drive for $160.
My problems apparently started when I attached a tape drive (any tape drive).
I made a perfect backup on tape, so the tape drive worked.
But a week later, I finally (should have seen earlier) noticed some bad files
on my Debian distribution.
I tried to correct the problems through massive dpkg installs and reinstalls.
But after two weeks more commands were failing, so I decided to upgrade the
package dpkg to Debian 1.3.
I had used without problem numerous other Debian 1.3 packages for months,
so I expected little problem upgrading dpkg and I did not look at any
readme's.
Of course, this naive upgrade added even more problems to my already numerous
bad binaries.
I proceeded to install Debian 1.3 from scatch.
Installation of Debian 1.3 from scatch produced errors.
This combined with the dpkg problems I had been having for two weeks,
led to my conclusion that I miss-interpreted how to install Debian.
I then sought help from the Debian community.
Some of the errors I saw I list below.
Some of these are very weird, reflecting binary corruption.
1. Installation of Debian 1.3 left first line of /etc/lilo.conf with
boot=
instead of
boot=/dev/sda2
During installation, when I entered OK for
NextMake Linux Bootable Directly From Hard Disk
I might get
Currently it is impossible to boot from the second harddisk.
Please boot the system using the rescue boot method
and configure LILO manually.
2. During Debian 1.3 installation, by hand I altered /etc/lilo.conf with
boot=/dev/sda
then entered
/target/sbin/lilo -r /target
This seemed to work, but rebooting I got the error
.
.
.
LILO loading Linux
Uncompressing Linux...
crs error
--System halted
3. I could almost get a floppy boot-record to work, since
the installation indicated no problems.
On booting from floppy, the boot stream looked perfect,
but hung eventually after giving the line
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.
4. During install, after configuring the network, the installation routine
cycled back to setting color (the very first step of installation).
5. After installation, I could boot, but after login I could not interract and
within about 5 seconds I was given the login prompt again.
Amidst all my problems, I had long ago turned off my Exabyte tape drive
residing at the end of my scsi daisy chain, EXPECTING THE SCSI DAISY CHAIN
WOULD ACT AS IF I HAD TERMINATED AT THE LAST DISK DRIVE.
I NOW KNOW THIS IS NOT TRUE.
Removing the tape drive, Debian installed cleanly.
So, I stopped suspecting Debian and started suspecting Exabyte.
I substituted a DDS-3 4mm tape drive, but got the same problems that I got
with the Exabyte drive.
So, my problem appeared to be tape drives in general.
With either tape drive attached and turned on, Debian 1.3 installation would
fail.
As I altered my computer system elsewhere, I would check Debian's initialization
of swap space, then its initialization of a Linux partition.
These both usually failed when I had the tape drive attached.
If I got a seemingly clean Debian 1.3 installation,
with the tape drive attached, on booting I would get the following errors.
6.
scsi : aborting command due to timeout: pid 61; scsi 0, channel 0, id0,
lun 0 Read (6) 02 38 58 78 00
aic7xxx: (abort) Aborting scb 0, TCL 0/0/0
7.
INIT: Entering runlevel: 2
INIT: ID 1 responding too fast:
disabled for 5 minutes.
every five minutes.
I tried making my scsi cables strait, though this required that
I have the geometry
-- ---
|computer| - |ultra|
-- |scsi |
|tape drive| - |disk |
---
This straight geometry had two scsi cables somewhat in parallel,
creating even more error messages.
I would guess that one wants cables perpendicular, not in parallel.
And I would guess that scsi cable twists matter little so long as one does not
form 360 degree curves.
I tried APS Technologies SCSI Sentry, a digital active terminator.
This removed the installation errors when initializing swap space or

how to use the X chooser?
I'm trying to set up a machine as an xterm, so I want it to run the chooser on bootup and then xdm... the Xaccess file seems to indicate that if you make it contain just this line, it'll work: * CHOOSER BROADCAST But if I make that change, xdm still just comes up and I don't see the chooser. What do I need to do to get the chooser to come up? -- see shy jo -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

ppp-off not stopping dialup-connection
Hallo, My ppp-off script at one stage worked well, but now it will no longer reset my modem while removing the ppp-link. I do not know what I did to cause it. It will run and give the message ppp0 link terminated, but it would not reset the modem so the telephone line stays connected. How can I rewrite it to reset the modem? My ppp-off script looks like this: #/usr/sbin/ppp-off-- #!/bin/sh DEVICE=ppp0 # # If the ppp0 pid file is present then the program is running. Stop it. if [ -r /var/run/$DEVICE.pid ]; then kill -INT `cat /var/run/$DEVICE.pid` # # If unsuccessful, ensure that the pid file is removed. # if [ ! $? = 0 ]; then echo removing stale $DEVICE pid file. rm -f /var/run/$DEVICE.pid exit 1 fi # # Success. Terminate with proper status. # echo $DEVICE link terminated exit 0 fi # # The link is not active # echo $DEVICE link is not active exit 1 #END and my dialup script looks like this: modprobe ppp pppd connect 'chat -v ATX1DT424714 CONNECT' \ /dev/ttyS3 57600 noipdefault debug crtscts modem defaultroute user jhspies +ua /etc/ppp/pap-secrets sleep 45s#The approximate time it takes for the ISP to be ready runq popclient -v mailq Can somebody help please?

Re: Re[4]: Installation 1.3 failed (SOLVED: tape ultra scsi)
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Amidst all my problems, I had long ago turned off my Exabyte tape drive residing at the end of my scsi daisy chain, EXPECTING THE SCSI DAISY CHAIN WOULD ACT AS IF I HAD TERMINATED AT THE LAST DISK DRIVE. I NOW KNOW THIS IS NOT TRUE. Don't do that. Active termination doesn't work when powered off. The SCSI bus driver transistors in the device may shut down to a low-impedance state, partially shorting out the bus. The powered-down bus driver transistors can present a non-linear load to signals on their outputs, causing much more noise than there would otherwise be on the bus. I tried making my scsi cables strait, And I would guess that scsi cable twists matter little so long as one does not form 360 degree curves. I don't think twists in the wire matter one bit. The important thing about transmission lines (that's what the SCSI bus conductors are at 5 MHz and up) is that they must be properly terminated at each end to prevent reflection of the signal back from the end of the wire, and they must have loads with the right impedance. This means you leave all devices turned on, you remove the internal termination from devices that aren't at one end of the bus or the other, and you use correct active terminators at both ends of the bus. In many cases the SCSI controller is one end of the bus and provides its own termination. I tried APS Technologies SCSI Sentry, a digital active terminator. Active termination is a must. You can get ones without lights for half the price of the SCSI sentry. I DISABLED support for ultra speed. You might get this to work with all-ultra-SCSI peripherals on the bus, and make sure your terminator is the right one for ultra-SCSI. I find some SCSI cables don't work with some controllers. My SGI is horrible about this, and my Adaptec 1542 had some problems, too. The Belkin Space Shuttle cable works great on everything, but it may cost $40 for a cable. Most computer stores have this as their premium SCSI cable. Thanks Bruce -- Bruce Perens K6BP [EMAIL PROTECTED] 510-215-3502 Finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for PGP public key.

Not sure if this helps, but: I had similar troubles, because my modem needed to be set to a specific irq line and everytime ppp-off hung up, it didn't reset. I started using diald to manage the connection automatically, and this works fine. Diald starts pppd as needed, and kills it withing a minute or so of my exiting the app that requested the link. I've not had to manually reset anything yet. Maybe this is due to diald's keeping a hold on the modem, rather than pppd actually letting go each time the connection ended.

LILO--Dual Booting Two Linux Systems
I wnat to run a side by side comparison of two linux distributions--Debian and one other. I plan to install them on the same IDE drive under separate (monolithic) partitions. What does LILO need to recognize this set up? mbr on hda dos on hda1 swap on hda2 linux1 (/root) on hda3 linux2 (/root) on hda4 So far I can get linux to boot any number of kernels as long as they are on the same partition--the linux distro that I installed last. LILO works fine booting dos and linux, but not linux and linux. LILO doesn't recognize the hda4 partition as a place to find a valid /root. (the linux on hda3 was installed last). Pressing tab during bootup only gives me the choice of DOS and a couple of kernels on hda3 As an aside, the debian machine I'm at now has both DOS and linux partitions marked bootable. The Caldera machine (the target machine for this experiment) has only the DOS partition marked active, yet the linux installed on it boots just fine. Does it really matter? (No, I haven't tried it yet) I asked this question on the caldera list and searched using dejanews, but no luck--only some other poor schmuck like me trying to use LILO to boot two different distributions off two different SCSI drives. Is this question harder than it first appears? thanks .kfh -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
Spam filters
Hi folks,
Since I sent mail here about spam filtering, Scott Blachowicz
[EMAIL PROTECTED] has cleaned up the script involved in getting the
information about spam listings, making on script get information
from a number of sites (can override on command line), optionally
split the output into multiple files, and format the output either
for sendmail or mailagent (the default being[what else?] mailagent).
I hope this is useful.
