xlib6 dependency problems
I'm running a Debian 1.3 system on a fairly small hard drive, so I don't want to install X. However, many console-based programs require that xlib6 be installed. What should I do?

Re: USR Modem Hangs Intermittantly
I have the same problem with my OEM USR Sportster 28.8! However, I only have problems under Debian and not Win95. I get pauses and hang-ups very frequently that are about to drive me insane! I have the S12=0 set on both platforms as has been mentioned in past threads. Is the Linux PPP more senstive to line noise? PPP almost always terminates in these instances with a SIGHUP signal.(I don't send it.) (/var/log/messages snippet) Jun 24 08:37:22 servis pppd[249]: Hangup (SIGHUP) Jun 24 08:37:22 servis pppd[249]: Modem hangup Jun 24 08:37:22 servis pppd[249]: Connection terminated. It is ossible this is an IRQ problem, or even a DMA problem. On my last computer I had the high DMA channel of my SB16 selected wrong and it screwed up my modem in the most subtle way (zmodem stopped working, everything else seemed fine). If it is an ISA modem or is operating with PnP disabled another thing to check is your bios settings: make sure your PnP setup reserves the proper IRQ for ISA cards. Good luck. Maybe the register to set is S10 which pauses after loss of carrier before hang up? Anybody have any suggestions for us?

Re: how to use the X chooser?

What do I need to do to get the chooser to come up? Do you mean that you are running xdm on the supposed-to-be xterm? You shouldn't do that in your case. The only things you need are: - xdm with the above config on the computer that is supposed to run the programs (the server) - an X server on the computer with the display So if you want to set up an X treminal, have it run something like /usr/bin/X11/X -indirect ip_of_server or /usr/bin/X11/X -query ip_of_server at boot time. The first line tries to get the chooser from the server, the second directly opens a connection to the server. Do 'man Xserver' for more options you might like.

Loopback/Hosts trouble
Hi all I am setting up a new machine to be used as a gateway/IpMasqurade server. It's going well except for one problem. If I ping it, presumably using loopback because it's not connected to anything, I recieve a network unreachable error. This is only happening when I use it's name, any service works if I use localhost, so I am assuming the loopback interface is up and running fine but there is something weird going on with the host lookup.

Partition Magic, a commercial program which does a bit more than fips, such as moving and enlarging a partition. It also comes with the OS/2 boot manager. I've used both, but prefer Partition Magic.

Re: I need a disk partitioner!!!
I think the program you are looking for is called fips. I don't know quite where to find it.

kernel 2.0.30 causes masquerading problems
After compiling a new kernel for my debian 1.3 system, I've run into a
little problem. At least I think the new kernel is to blame as this is
the only thing to have changed recently.
First, I use IP masquerading so my networked NT 4.0 box can access the
internet. I've made a little rc.d script (S20/K20) to set the rules
which
goes as follows:
-- BEGIN --
case $1 in
start)
/sbin/ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.2.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0
/sbin/ipfwadm -F -p deny
/sbin/ipfwadm -I -p accept
/sbin/ipfwadm -O -p accept
echo Firewall and masquerading rules set
;;
stop)
/sbin/ipfwadm -F -f
/sbin/ipfwadm -I -f
/sbin/ipfwadm -O -f
;;
*)
echo Usage: /etc/init.d/ipfw {start|stop}
exit 1
esac
exit 0
-- END --
This worked fine with 2.0.27 but is broken now. There are no error
messages or anything. Here is the contents of /proc/net/ip_forward:
-- BEGIN --
IP firewall forward rules, default 0
C0A80200/FF00-/ - 204 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 AFF X00
-- END
Perhaps the version of ipfwadm is out of sync with the kernel version?
Mine is from netbase 2.13-1. Other than that, I can't think whats wrong.
Anyone have any ideas?

XFree86: bad inconsistent state of xserver-vga?
I'm trying to install XFree86 3.2 from the Cheap*Bytes disk for Debian 1.2. I can't. The first time, I was able to partially install. That is, dselect worked flawlessly, but XF86Setup couldn't configure properly and everything locked. I decided to try to install version 3.3. I downloaded the .tgz files directly from xfree86.org, and it completely failed to work, either. So, I deleted all files in any directory related to X and tried again with the .deb files from ftp.debian.org. Unfortunately, I can't use dselect for this, and without that I can't tell what the dependencies are! Would dftp help? Since this failed, I used dpkg -i to remove them all again, and tried dselect and my CD-ROM again. However, dselect is now incapable of installing. I get error messages that xinitrc is not found -- but in that case, why can't the installer (xbase-configure) create it? Here's the message, which appears in a very attractive dialog box: Not all of the configuration and application default files are installed. The file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc is missing Odd. I also can't uninstall -- dselect informs me that xserver-vga is in a bad inconsistent state and suggests reinstalling, which doesn't work. What's up? Would it help to purchase a new (1.3.1) CD-ROM? I was hoping to wait for 1.4 and the dselect replacement, but I can probably spare ten bucks if it'll solve this problem. I'm using a clone system, AMI BIOS supporting an AMD 5x86-75 (really a 486-133), a 500 MB IDE hard drive (DOS/Win3) and a 1 GB IDE drive (2 OS/2 partitions, 1 HPFS data, 1 Linux swap, 1 Linux ext2), 48 MB of RAM, and a Jaton 57-P (Trident TGUI 9680) video card with 1 MB of VRAM.

hdparm HOWTO ??
I'm running Linux on a used 486DX2 66 (got it for less than $250) and really want to get the most out of it... Just looked into hdparm tonight. It seems the -u1, -m xx options are good choices. However there are several warnings of possible filesystem corruption regarding these options. The package only comes with a manpage, which is obviously oversimplified for a person like me who don't have much knowledge of hard drives. Just wondering if there are some sorts of hdparm HOWTO that have more details about using the program. I want to use hdparm -u1 -m16 -Z /dev/hda for my Seagate ST-3780 hard drive on VLB IDE connector (controller with OPTi something chipset? not quite sure).

Much faster, but a bit too complicated, perhaps. Could these maybe combine into a new method, skipping the FTP bit, and just make symlinks (or copy the file into a directory) and install from there instead.

Are you running a server with lot of users or do you create extraordinary many sessions (xterms/rxvt/login/rsh)? Each session takes a tty, so most X sessions takes quite a lot, though I personally never had problems. However, if a rogue script is executing rsh's or rxvt's in an infinite loop, you will of course run dry at some point.

Perhaps your environment is pointing to something non-standard. Check for settings of the TERMCAP or TERMINFO environment variables, and unset them if present.

Re: kernel 2.0.30 causes masquerading problems

I think the problem isn't related with 2.0.30, since I use it with
IP masq. enabled without any problem for two subnets of win3.x, Linux, and
win95.
From your script, the main difference I can see is that I firstly
deny access:
ipfwadm -F -p deny
ipfwadm -F -a m -S ${NETWORK1}/24 -D 0.0.0.0/

Re: DuhDraw/libcurses.so.1
When you recompile, make one small change to the Makefile. Change any instances of -lcurses to -lncurses. That should do the trick. (Note you will have to have the ncurses-dev package installed.)

I am on the mailing list. So I would get to see the emails that come to the mailing list. Sudhakar Hello Sudhakar, fellow debianers, :) First thanx to everyone who helped me on this. The ftp web accounts are all working great now. There really wasn't alot that really had to be done but this is exactly what how i have it setup. You may wish to place things else where cd / mkdir webftp drwxr-sr-x 7 root root 1024 Jun 29 22:58 webftp Now copy the /home/ftp/bin lib and etc dir to /webftp cp -ap /home/ftp/bin /webftp cp -ap /home/ftp/lib /webftp cp -ap /home/ftp/etc /webftp I also copied and changed the welcome.msg aswell. I added another directory here where the user accounts go /webftp/web. Change the group of the web dir to webusers cd /webftp mkdir web drwxr-xr-x 4 root webusers 1024 Jun 29 21:48 web Then add a group to /etc/group and place the users in that group. I'll use webusers as the group and user1 and user2 as the users. webusers:*:109:user1,user2 And add this line to your /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file. This allows all users in the group webusers to ftp in and saves you from having to add a guestgroup for each user. guestgroup webusers Now just add your users and edit the /etc/passwd file (always using caution when doing this. I'd recommend makeing a passwd.bak just in case) You need to change the users home path to: user1:passwd:5000:5000:Web User:/webftp/./web/user1:/bin/true user2:passwd:5001:5001:Web User:/webftp/./web/user2:/bin/true *Make sure you add /bin/true to /etc/shells Remember to move the users home directory to /webftp/web with the perms drwxr-xr-x 2 user1 user1 1024 Jun 29 23:05 user1 drwxr-xr-x 2 user2 user2 1024 Jun 29 23:05 user2 With these permissions all the users can cd to the other accounts and see what they have. I really don't see this as a problem as everything there will be accessable via the web anyways. change the permissions as you see fit. Now they can ftp in and put stuff in thier own directories (but not others). I made the /webftp/web dir for the users home dirs and added a index.html to /webftp/web to include a listing of all the system users. One optional thing i did was to make a link: ln -s /webftp/web /home/www-data/web This was created so none of these users needed a public_html file. they just need to put thier files in thier home directories. The url would then be http://www.your.site/web/user1. No ~ is needed before user1.

besides checking what speed you set in your ppp.options file, run pppstats -i 1.

Could these maybe combine into a new method, skipping the FTP bit, and just make symlinks (or copy the file into a directory) and install from there instead.

.gz -- gzip extension. gzip is a program used to compress files, comparable to .zip files in dos/windows. To un-gzip a file the command is gzip -d filename.gz or gunzip filename.gz, same thing. Then you can read it as a regular text file. I prefer using: zcat filename.gz |less. zcat uncompress the file to standard output for reading and piped through less to control the scroll. This way you can keep your documents compress for storage, without the hastle of uncompressing them all the time. For more info look up manpages on gzip, gunzip, tar, zcat, zgrep...

Re: apcupsd, genpower, and PowerShute(TM) Black cable.

Cheers, Colin. apcupsd is derived from apcd by Pavel Korensky [EMAIL PROTECTED], but unfortunately without a configuration file (many parameters selected at compile time) and without slave support. I thouroughly hacked apcd for private use adding the following features: - - Close and reopen logfiles on HUP signal. - - Make shutdown dependent on the remaining battery load. - - Slave uses init for shutdown. - - Master uses shutdown code from lates sysvinit (2.71) (Not mentioning many code cleanups) On Sat, 28 Jun 1997, Brian White [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I tried using apcd at one point which supported smart-signalling. Unfortunately, it did system shutdown itself instead of telling the system to shut down and this was unacceptable. I choose to run shutdown by itself because I had to assure that the last action on master is to shut down the ups. Instead I should probably follow the genpower approach and supply a small program that does this from the command line. Apart from this, apcd is ready as a debian package but I didn't find the time to upload it, feed the changes back to the upstream maintainer, etc. Whoever wants this package, drop me an email. A further project might be a program able to communicate with a java applet to enable monitoring the ups from any java capable browser. This might then be a complete functional replacement for APC's power-chute software, and even better because it will work over the net on any client. But I can't tell when time allows this...

Re: Compiling a new kernel
In the instructions that came with the kernel source package, Linus
recommends making symlinks in the include directory to directories in the
usr/src/linux/arch directory.
I also remember reading that libc5-dev contains a set of headers.
Someone on the list recommended that the directories in the include
directory shoudln't be deleted and made into symlinks. Is this correct?
Yes, it's correct. But it's got very little (actually nothing) to
do with compiling the kernel (the symlinks you are talking about is
so that user-programmes can see parts of the kernel, something
that nowadays isn't very usefull any more. That's why Debian libc5,
and anyone's glibc(=libc6) do it differently).
Also is glibc the same as libc6?
Yes.
if so why?
Basically, because glibc comes after libc5. The soname
of libc5 is, you guessed it, 5. Because gnu libc is a major step
forward, the soname had to be changed (increased).
This leaves us with a gnu libc that has a soname 6, and thus we
(and the rest of the linux world) call it libc6.

Re: .gz ??? what, how?
This is not readable by an editor. Is there something special about the .gz?? It is GZipped. you can unzip it with `gunzip', or use `zmore' instead of `more', or `zless' instead of `less'. Ofcourse, these are all pagers. But I bet there's some emacs mode to read and write gzipped files. jka-compr Putting the following line in ~/.emacs: (require 'jka-compr) you can then simply edit a gzipped file and Emacs will uncompress it automatically.

This is from a mail I sent some time ago: Apparently hwtools does not contain the most recent version of irqtune. Using irqtune 0.5 will solve your problems. I have addressed the package maintainer about this. Two solutions: 1. Wait for the new hwtools package. 2. Get the irqtune 0.5 from the website. You don't have to recompile, just copy irqtune_mod.o and irqtune from the tar to /sbin . Then change the invocation of irqtune in /etc/rc.boot/hwtools from irqtune to /sbin/irqtune ++ What happens is that insmod dumps core. You can test it by calling insmod directly, not through irqtune. This happens if you have compiled the kernel with mod_versions=yes (so far as I know). I have contacted the package maintainer about this, but didn't get a answer and there is no new version out (or I have missed it). Maybe I should file a bugreport.
