compiling debian packages (was Re: number of problems...)
On Mon, 15 Sep 1997, David wrote: Is there a window maker package for the stable release? for most packages in unstable, you can easily compile them for stable. i don't actually know of any exceptions, but i expect that there would be a few programs which absolutely depend on libc6 development tools. so, to compile an unstable package for stable you do: 1. make sure you have all the development tools installed - compiler and dev libraries, dpkg-dev, debmake, and others. remember, you need to install the -dev packages for any libraries which the package is dependant upon. e.g. libc5-dev for all packages, xlib6-dev for X programs (many X progs also require xpm-dev), etc. in your case, you'd want to set up one of your machines as a complete development system - install every development package you're ever likely to need and do your compiling on that. 2. mkdir /usr/src/foo cd /usr/src/foo 3. download the source files. for the hypothetical package foo version X.X, that would be: foo_X.X-1.diff.gz foo_X.X-1.dsc foo_X.X.orig.tar.gz 4. extract the debianised source code with: dpkg-source -x foo_X.X-1.dsc 5. cd foo-X.X 6. edit the source and Makefile(s) if required. 7. compile the program and build a package by typing: build 8. if all goes well, you can install the package with dpkg as normal. cd .. dpkg -i foo_X.X-1_i386.deb be warned: the above is mostly accurate but quite simplified. for simple packages it will be as straightforward as this. more complex packages will be harder...start with something simple for practice. Otherwise I imaging this is annother of those I'm using the unstable stuff and really shouldn't be... yeah. you don't want to run unstable at the momentespecially X stuff. X just got released re-compiled for libc6 recently. wait until it settles down a bit before trying it. in general, however, it is quite safe to follow the HOWTO that was posted here recently on upgrading to libc6/unstablethen you can run select packages from unstable - just don't do a full upgrade to unstable at the moment! craig PS: hunt around for more info on compiling debian packages before trying this. somebody (i forget who at the moment) is maintaining a FAQ/web page which is much better than the notes above. i can't remember the URL right now...search through the debian-user archives, there was some discussion on it within the last few weeks. -- craig sanders networking consultant Available for casual or contract temporary autonomous zone system administration tasks. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: Printer Advice: HP 870C or Epson Stylus 800
According to Civ Kevin F. Havener [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I'm contemplating buying one of the two subject printers. Has anyone out there used either of these two printers under Linux? Easy to use under Linux is the key criteria. Color printing is nice to have but most of my important printing needs are black and white. Will use ghostscript. Epson has optional postscript. Anyone know what this is? Appears to be software (like ghostscript) that emulates postscript. Is it OS dependent as I suspect (resides on my computer) or is it actually installed into the printer? Any clues you can give me are appreciated. I just recently upgraded from an old NEC pinwriter to the Epson stylus color 800. I use magicfilter for printing and installation was as easy as it could be. After upgrading to ghostscript 4.x I could even print in color up to 720dpi. Ghostscript 5 even supports Epson's 1440dpi, but I'll wait for the debian package. I don't know anything about the postscript option, though. Bye, Andy.

howto enlarge root partition by merging with other?
Hi! Well, I did it. There is only a few MBs on my root partition (which is also my usr partition). Now I simply killed my OS-half partition and converted it to ext2. So far so good. What I would like to do now is enlarge / by merging it with the newly created partition. Do I have to copy everything to a backup, run fdisk and then copy it back? Or is there an easier method? (No, I don't just want to mount it) And is this process really all that easy? Can I just copy the backup on the new, now larger, partition, run lilo and it works again?

Re: Sound Blaster AWE32 and Sound Blaster AWE 64 Gold
Hmm ... I have a SB16 and midi works fine without isapnptools, maybe that's the difference. You probably have a waveblaster extension mounted to i/o 330 using the MPU 401 interface. The SB 32 has a build-in (non MPU 401 compatible) Emu8000 waveblaster that need to be initialized to work correctly. I tried pnp extension for the kernel too and the whole sound card stoped working. Now I have the normal kernel with the awe patches installed and use isapnp to initialize all devices on the sound card. BTW: The normal SB 16 compatible sound works without any special initilization, only the midi part needs extra handling to work correctly. Torsten -- What do you use for the isapnp config file?

Debian and they Year 2000 problem
The Year 2000 problem has been discussed extensively, but when anyone asks about Linux the answer is always 'The kernel is OK up till 2038, other than that it is an application problem' It seems to me that the Debian distribution, by breaking up the applications into a large number of manageable packages, could help to address the year2000 problem for Linux users. If we knew the year 2000 status of every package then we could see which areas were OK and which ones needed work. Something along the lines of a database (flat file type) with package name and version and Year2000 status, with Year 2000 status being one of Unknown No date dependancies OK Not OK I would expect the majority of packages to be in the 'No date dependancies' or OK catagories without any work required. The database would only deal with that particular package, leaving the issues of dependancies on other packages to the normal Debian depandancy machanism.

Most important part: RUN LILO, otherwise you won't be able to boot from that partition.

Upgrade from an older Debian system ??
Hi, Thanks to everyone willing to reply to (sometimes annoying ?) questions ! I am not a newbee to Linux, but somewhere in between I guess ... My system is Debian 1.2 with kernel 2.0.27 and a pcmcia 3c562/563 33.6 LAN/modem card (Olivetti echos p100d). Heaving read the Web page about upgrading to Debian 1.3 from an older version I followed the dpkg-instructions there without any errors. I had just installed pcmcia-cs 2.9.5-3. Before there was no pcmcia package installed. Now I have trouble starting the PCMCIA Card Services (it says: Card Services release does not match). The /sbin/cardmgr dates April 29 and /lib/modules/2.0.27/pcmcia dates Dec 7 1996. Incompatible ? So I cannot access the network for the moment. Upgrading to Debian 1.3 and a new kernel maybe could resolve these incompatibilities. The only problem is that I do not know how to proceed despite the advice given, that (using) dselect should do the rest of the upgrade to Debian 1.3. Up till now I have successfully upgraded the base-files package. For this to succeed I had to copy the package to disk together with the Packages-file of the distribution site. Now dselect shows a installed and available status (I have done an update in dselect). My old version of Debian came from a cdrom. What should I do now ? Which packages should I install and which not? If I use the Packages-file from the distribution site, then I must upgrade all my packages ? Ot could I have a mix of them ? Without having an internet connection it is practically impossible to copy all those packages one by one -- floppy -- disk.

Re: switching from ide to scsi
On Tue, 9 Sep 1997 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Hi all,
I decided to go the right way with one of my server and use scsi disk instead
of ide. That machine has already got a scsi controller (aha2940) that drives
a dat tape, so I only need to buy a scsi disk.
That machine is using debian 1.1 on ide and will probably use 1.2 on scsi.
What would be the best way to move data (and all) from the old ide disk to the
new scsi one?
Since that machine is a main server and need maximum uptime, downtime has to
be as low as possible. These are my questions:
- installing debian on scsi before moving data is not a problem, if I can plug
in the scsi disk, install debian on it, move data and then unplug ide, but
I don't know if this is doable (I read about having problems with ide+scsi
disks in the same machine). Can I test the new installation without removing
the old ide disk (just in case ..)?
Hi Marco, I had missed this message before, sorry. You are much more an
expert sysadmin than I am, anyway here I am: I have _no_problems_ here on
a P90 with:
o a small IDE disk taken away from an old 286 and connected to one of
two (ISA + PCI) on-board IDE controllers (what a waste on this Intel
Premiere motherboard), the PCI one (but with the ISA one it works the
same)
+
o SCSI disk connected to an Adaptec 2940.
The only thing is that the bios does not allow me to say SCSI
_before_ IDE, so LILO has to stay on the IDE disk.
- I know I could back up all the ide disk (maybe with tar? to cope with device
files?) and then untar, but I know I should at least be careful with:
- changing mounts (hda? to sda?)
- rerunning lilo on scsi after changing lilo.conf
- anything else?
Yes, you have to change some characters in /etc/fstab on the destination
root, possibly not only hda to sda but also some number may change of
partitions you use to mount and you have moved to the SCSI disk.
BTW, I usually avoid to spread links to mount points with name reflecting
the actual location of the device, and in case I really want things such
as /mnt/ide1/ or /mnt/ext2_2/ then I put symbolic links in /mnt/ with a
more generical name to use in links, e.g.:
nick:~# ls -la /mnt
total 8
drwxr-x--- 8 root users1024 Jun 15 20:04 ./
drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 1024 Aug 15 20:34 ../

nick:~#
A few months ago I used to keep 2-3 Linux distributions working, and
moving from one to a more recent version I used to put such symbolic links
with names such as /mnt/linuxOld and - the other way - /mnt/linuxNew; then
after deciding I could definitely drop the older installation I just
checked that anything previously shared - home dirs with mail, development
stuff, ... - had been moved, e.g.:
find / -lname *linuxOld* -exec ls -l -d {} \;
Any advice is welcome.

Re: locales
Ralph Winslow [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Trying to make lftp work, I'd downloaded the version in hamm. This called for a new lic5 which caused the removal on damn near everything. Included in that was the locales package. I've restored almost everything, with the exception of the locales package which depends on libc5 being removed. I've tried to dpkg --force it down and a variety of other things, but nothing seems to work and every time I use perl (which is often) it shows irritating messages about the 'missing' locales package. Can anyone recommend how to proceed? Since no one else has responded to this, I figure I'll tell you my solution, which is brain dead to say the least. When I run perl, it says: perl: warning: Setting locale failed for the categories: LC_CTYPE LC_COLLATE perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings: LC_ALL = (unset), LC_CTYPE = (unset), LC_COLLATE = (unset), LANG = us are supported and installed on your system. perl: warning: Falling back to the C locale. Since everything is unset except for LANG, I tried unsetting LANG too. (In tcsh it's unsetenv LANG.) That seems to make it stop complaining. Hopefully someone with a real suggestion will answer too.

Help, delivery errors connected to debian-user?
I'm sorry to get bandwith with a pretty big attachment, but this thing really deserves the gurus' attention. These days I get quite a lot of delivery errors about messages usually reaching their goal: I see them regularly come back, resent from the mailing list server. I was thinking of Joey Hess address but it is absolutely _OK_, it seems instead that it is something in the path to the debian-user server (so I will get errors for this message too), I even got back an e-mail message which was sent to the list NOT by me (Subject: Re: Debian and win95)! I put (hopefully all) that stuff in a mail folder, gzipped and attached it to this message, all is there but the last message, arrived this evening, which finally made me decide not to wait and ask for help as I see that I'm not the only one getting garbage; that message is forwarded here immediately readable as flat text. Ah, Joey, when I wrote The domain kolluk.schaminee was not resolved, so I retry @schaminee.nl maybe with better luck. I was optimistically wrong, afterwards I got errors about that domain too... but I wonder: where was that rubbish coming from then...?!? :-) Not _really_ the guys at Taiwan edu I think :-) !

Re: depmod/modprobe error
Hi,
Steve == Steve Hsieh [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
Steve raindrop:/etc# depmod -a modprobe: error reading ELF header: No
Steve such file or directory
Steve I'm not sure if this is related to the fact that I built my own
Steve custom kernel (using make-kpkg).
This is a problem with the newly changed behavior of depmod
and friends, who suddenly stopped liking non .o files in
/lib/modules/version.
Newer versions of kernel package handle that right. For now,
try:
% find /lib/modules/2.0.30/ -type f -exec file {} \; | grep -v 'ELF 32-bit'
/lib/modules/2.0.30/modules.dep: ASCII text
Anything other than modules.dep showing up is something that
depmod can no longer tolerate. Remove those files, get a new
kernel-package, and things should be fine.
