If there is anybody interested, here is the recipe to build a "debugging pine": Get the Debian sources (.orig.tar.gz, .dsc and .diff.gz) and unpack them as usual: dpkg-source -x pine_3.96L-3.dsc Now you have to decide whether you want a "debugging pine" or not. For a debugging pine, just modify pine-3.96L/pine/makefile.lnx so that the line saying "DEBUG= ..." reads like this: DEBUG= -g -DDEBUG After that, the .deb packages may be created in the usual way, just go to the pine-3.96L directory and type: debian/rules binary This will take about half an hour on a 486-66 (the machine I have). I understand this recipe may not be "self-evident". Would things be better if I make "debian/rules binary" to display a little message saying exactly which file have to be patched? (it already stops to warn the user that the .deb's should not be distributed).

The best way to install netscape is to copy above file to your /tmp
directory and have _debian_ package called "netscape" installed.

You do not need to run sumba as a daemon unless you expect it to be very heavily loaded (a lot of Win... clients).

It'll run with a nicelevel of 19, so any process with a higher priority will take precedence over it -- ie every other process in your system. I've run the client for the last four days with no detrimental effects upon my machine's performance... although I guess there's probably a minor slowdown (a couple percent) given the extra context switching the kernel has to do (although this is only a guess... I'm no expert on how the kernel does its tasking). I just checked and there's 6x86 optimized code you can select when you configure the client. I think it's option 3... but autodetect would probably autodetect it. Looks like the 6x86 will run faster than the Pentium, too, because it's optimized for integer calculations, which the rc5 client uses exclusively.

Re: [off topic] Q on CVS
Hi, I think the official way is to release the directory, and checkout a new version. However, if the module is large, this may take some time (but it is not a hack, and you need not fear any errors). The other option you have is to put all the local changes on a branch, and revert to the main branch when the repository is changed, and start a new branch. This maybe more admin work than you are willing to do. While we are at it, you say: >> cvs -q update 2>&1|egrep "^C|^M"|cut -f2|xargs rm -f;cvs update Why are you not trying cvs -n update, so that the local files are not changed, instead of just quieting cvs down (or was it a typo?) % cvs -n update 2>&1|egrep "^C|^M"|cut -f2|xargs rm -f;cvs update manoj -- "There is considerable evidence that great empires and civilizations have been undone not by barbarian invaders but by climatic change." 1977 CIA report Manoj Srivastava mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mobile, Alabama USAhttp://www.datasync.com/%7Esrivasta/> -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

swap-free weirdness (Was: fsck from cron)
I found one of the strange messages given by my machine before the lock up. It was something like this: swap-free: weirdness free_one_pmd: bad directory entry 01000 I don't know if this message has anything to do with the lock up, but I'd like to know what it means, and I serious, what to do to prevent it.

[off topic] Q on CVS
Sorry for the list abse, but I'm looking for some help with CVS. I need to find a way to impose changes from the central repository on locally checked out modules. Some modules may have a few hundered files. Sometimes these files get modified locally in a "quick hack" during production. The issue being worked around will be fixed properly and committed to the vault where it needs to be distributed, etc. The files in the repository are authoritative and should replace the local files, rather than merge with them. Conflicts get even uglier as the files in question are usually config files, or shell scripts (I know I've preached about not using CVS for config management on this list before, but I have no other options currently.) I'm using the following command to achieve this with version 1.8.1-1: cvs -q update 2>&1|egrep "^C|^M"|cut -f2|xargs rm -f;cvs update It would sure be nice to have a straight forward way of doing that instead of this hack. Is there a force option to "checkout" or "update" in 1.9? Does(will) 1.9 require libc6? Is there another way to achieve this? Thanks in advance, and sorry again for the non-debian specific question.

Why don't you use the supplied /etc/ppp.chatscript and
/etc/ppp.options_out? Also, /dev/cua1 is obsolete device name,
use /dev/ttyS1 instead. Anyway, if chat dials and have connected
(you may check that by

), I still see one thing missing -- in case you have PAP authorization you
still have to append your /etc/ppp/pap-secrets with the following line:
daedalus * xxx
(substitite xxx for your password)
and add the following command line options to pppd:

Hope this helps.

Well, the link isn't exactly broken ... libtcl7.6.so (or whatever the exact name is) _still_exists_ in /usr/lib. Shouldn't it have been automajically removed when libtcl8.0 was installed? I changed the links by hand, and ldconfig doesn't report any errors anymore. How can xlib6g not exist yet if tk8.0 exists?

lpr: unable to get official name for local machine
Hi group: Please can anyone tell me what might have sparked the message: lpr: unable to get official name for local machine I have re-installed the lpr from lpr_5.9-13.1.deb, but no cure that way. hostname gets the right answer for the machine name (bay). Root can cat to lp2 and print. /etc/printcap seems normal. Using the official 1.3 CD-rom, I had a functional lpr until my CD-ROM got a series of errors which caused overwriting on the disk and hung the machine. fsck then had to clobber some files but I don't know which. Perhaps I am supposed to record all those inode numbers but if so there has to be a way to make fsck do it - should I be getting them recorded? I don't understand why read errors should have such a major effect, even if my hardware is a bit weird. By that I mean that when mounting the CD-Rom I often have to do it twice, as below: bay# mount -t iso9660 /dev/sjcd mnt mount: block device /dev/sjcd is write-protected, mounting read-only SJCD: timeout in state 4 end_request: I/O error, dev 12:00, sector 64 isofs_read_super: bread failed, dev 12:00 iso_blknum 16 block 32 mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sjcd, or too many mounted file systems bay# mount -t iso9660 /dev/sjcd mnt mount: block device /dev/sjcd is write-protected, mounting read-only ISO9660 Extensions: RRIP_1991A bay# - I have installed maybe 50 packages off it with no problem; until this series of errors while reading xemacs-support.

Tcl/Tk 8.0
I'm trying to upgrade to Tcl/Tk version 8.0. I've downloaded the packages (yes my system is already using libc6). When I dpkg -i the tcl file, I get this: ldconfig: warning: can't open /usr/lib/libtcl.so (No such file or directory), skipping ldconfig: warning: can't open /usr/lib/libtk.so (No such file or directory), skipping But 'ls' shows that both these files *do* exist and are links to the previous versions. Is this a bug? Should I move the links to the new library versions by hand? Also, tk8.0_8.0-2.deb depends on xlib6g, which doesn't appear to be available. Where can I find it, and how does it differ from xlib6?

Well, tcl is a general scripting language, while tk is a toolkit that allows tcl scripts to have a graphical (Motif-ish) look under X. You will need tcl to run tk. For more info on the versions and dependancies, don't forget to look in the PACKAGES file. A question of my own.. what does the /p1/p2/p3 stand for in the program version of tk or tcl Is that just a way of listing a minor revision under tk/tcl?

It should still work. depmod might complain if you don't compile everything as modules that you did last time, and thus don't overwrite all the old modules. After having a few problems with depmod not working quite right when run under the old kernel before booting the new one, I'd recommend removing /lib/modules/2.0.29/modules.dep or whatever just before rebotting so it gets recreated by /etc/init.d/modutils. > > kernel-package will make installing it all much easier. > > Yea ...
