2 CPU machines
Hi, I've just put Debian 2.0.30 with version 6 of the deadlock patch on a new 2 CPU machine. The messages file tells me that the two CPUs were initialized OK and that the machine is running roughly at 400 MHz. If I run bogomips, however, I still get out 198 MHz. I'm guessing that bogomips is not designed for 2 CPU machines. Is that right and, if so, how would I find out on the fly how fast the machine really is going? Thanks J.

Re: Incoming PPP question - subnetting
Kevin Traas wrote: Hmmm. What's the netmask on the ethernet interface? If it's set to 255.255.255.224 then everything should work fine even though Yes, it is. Then NT's routing algorithm is wrong or there are other routes afoot. Run netstat -r on the NT box to verify that the routes to the ethernet interface have 255.255.255.224 as the netmask. the NT box sets 255.255.255.0 on the PPP link. This is because the routing algorithm chooses the route with the most matching bits (that is, the one with the longest netmask). Let me know. Interesting thought. I'll give this a try. I've got things working right now by setting up the PPP connection and then manually setting routes on each end. However, if I can automate this, that would be great. With your msg above, I may not have to make any changes on the NT dialin box/router. I'll let you know. On this subject, though Right now, the NT box dials into the modem pool via PPP. Is there any way I can have the Linux box (PPP server) setup a static route to the NT subnet at the time the NT box dials in? (I could set up a script running in the background with a sleep 60 or so that looks to see who's logged in and configures the routing table based on that, but this would be quite a hack - there's got to be a better way) Sure, you can give pppd the path to an ip-up and an ip-down script which will be called when the connection comes up. -- Jens B.

quota bug ?
Hi, I have just installed the quota utility on my system. I did everything by the book but when I would run quota as a user it would say Disk quotas for ... : None . I checked and rechecked everything but it didn't help. I run quotacehk about 2 times and also /etc/init.d/quota start . Then I rebooted and it worked fine. I thought that /etc/fstab can be read immediatelly after it is written and no deamon needs to be restarted . I guess I am wrong. Any ideas ?

Re: setuid root CGI's - how bad it is?
Eloy A. Paris wrote: Hi, (sorry for the off-topic question but I don't know where to ask) Excuse my ignorance but how bad is it to have a setuid CGI script? If you insist on a script, a perl script written by a knowledgeable and paranoid programmer could be safe. A C program written by a bozo would be less safe. There are probably programmers who could create a not too dangerous cgi in sh, though not safe, at least in standard linux. In short if the creator of the script is knowledgeable about the attacks that might occur, the resultant cgi will be safe, but if the cgi creator doesn't have a clue, the cgi will not be safe no matter what it's written in. I know there should be big security issues with this but I don't know what it is. I have a CGI script that needs to write files in a user's home directory. How can I do that?

Linux floppy disk problem
I'm trying to install Debian Linux 1.3.1 and everything works fine until I try to make a boot disk from the install menu.

Re: Debian print server
I just happen to be working on a similar problem tonight. One thing that appears to be needed is to stop and restart lpd (a kill -HUP does not do the trick!) by going into /etc/init.d and issuing a /lpd stop then a /lpd start and changes to your /etc/printcap should then take effect. I have not needed the -l 515 for my lpd ... it seems to listen to the proper port by default and my lpd manpage tells me that -l is for logging. You might need to do the stop/start on BOTH machines so that all changes are read correctly.

Debian print server
Hi, I try to build up a print server printe (192.168.1.3) for my little local network based on Debian 1.3.1.

xlib6(g) 3.3-5 problems
Hello, recently I installed xlib6 (3.3-5) and xlib6g (3.3-5) because these packages are needed by other packages of X programs in hamm. This resulted in several problems: 1) Some packages (mostly still from Debian 1.2) depend on elf-x11r6lib which was apparently provided by older xlib6's. If I update these packages, should (will) they depend on xlib6 instead of elf-x11r6lib? 2) The new xlib6(g) breaks fvwm2. It doesn't work (it quits without an error message), while fvwm95 runs fine. I guess, fvwm2 isn't available as libc6-package. 3) xlib6g-dev provides xdevel and conflicts with xdevel. This gives a kind of a dependency problem with the older xlib6-dev package.

Re: Motif programming blues
Can anyone tell me why the following code (in attachments) doesn't work, or point to me someplace that describes in DETAIL the XmLabelWidget class? The lesstif docs describe functions fine, but precious little in the way of the widgets and gadgets. Problem: you give memo no arguments, you get a blank box. Give it arguments, the label text is msg, not the arguments you gave it. I typed this verbatim (minus some syntactical differences, like ANSI-style function headers instead of KR, and moved a variable declaration to the top of the function instead of in the middle) from Douglas A. Young's The X Window System Programming and Applications with Xt: OSF/Motif Edition. I figure this qualifies as fair use since the damn code doesn't work. There is nothing wrong with the codes. I have also compiled the program with Motif 2.0 and the program runs correctly. This is simple program and should run just as well under Motif 1.2 which Lesstif hopes to compatibile with. I have used Lesstif 0.8 before and I do noticed hiccups here and there (widgets losing their positions, program crashing etc). The same program however, works find when compiled with Motif 1.2. If this problem you are referring is a bug then it is a minor one. Maybe you can try setting the label text after the widget is created(XtCreateManagedWidget) as opposed to during it's creation.

Re: xlib6(g) 3.3-5 problems
Hello,
recently I installed xlib6 (3.3-5) and xlib6g (3.3-5) because these
packages are needed by other packages of X programs in hamm. This resulted
in several problems:
1) Some packages (mostly still from Debian 1.2) depend on elf-x11r6lib
which was apparently provided by older xlib6's. If I update these
packages, should (will) they depend on xlib6 instead of elf-x11r6lib?
Once the bug (i.e. them depending on elf-x11r6lib, that's a bug) has been
fixed, they will depend on xlib6. But you can ignore dpkg's error messages
(--force-depends)
2) The new xlib6(g) breaks fvwm2. It doesn't work (it quits without an
error message), while fvwm95 runs fine. I guess, fvwm2 isn't available
as libc6-package.
Nor is fvwm95. But fvwm2 has been compiled with the -rpath option,
that forces it to use the libs in /usr/X11R6/lib, which are now libc6
on your system.

The load is about 1 when running Wine + Word and Matlab and appbar (a task bar a la NextStep for MS-Win 3.11). I got some messages which I could not dechipher yet. Wine is slow to load but I don't perceive it a slow when writing documents. I haven't tested raw speed of other programs like for example Matlab 4.2c but graphics on the last were fast enough for me. The color/font configuration needs probably to be tuned. I haven't read the documentation yet. (I am in moving period so I have no much time right now). As it had happened with Debian GNU/Linux, _it_would _really_boost_ _wine_development if many people in this list give it a try ... AND report bugs. Well...that's just my humble opinion.

Re: [ 0.84 Debian compile ?]
On Sep 18, joost witteveen wrote Have you tried to apply the debian patches for mutt_0.81 to mutt-0.84? Maybe the problem existed before 0.84, and the maintainer fixed it.

I've reapplied the relevant parts of the 0.81 patches, and uploaded 0.84-1 this morning. A general remark about my mutt packaging: I don't release a new version of mutt as soon as it is available. In my experience, unmodified copies of the upstream mutt package can be quite buggy, possibly due to its fast development process. A couple of days after a new version is released, Michael, Liviu and others will have fixed the big bugs, and I'll release a mutt package based on the version that is then crystalized out.

Re: 'tell' is missing from libc6
It appears the tell(path) command is missing from libc6. What
should I be using instead?
The only tell that I could find in libc-5.4.33 is the following one:
file sysdeps/linux/tell.c:
off_t
tell (int fildes)
{
return __lseek (fildes, 0, SEEK_CUR);
}
That's the one.
If that is the right function the replacement should be obvious using
the syscall lseek, but you should prefer the use of ftell on FILE* if
possible.
In this case, I don't have a FILE*; only a path number.
If this is the wrong function you should tell us what tell(path)
is doing, I haven't heard of such a function yet.
To quote C: The Complete Reference (by Herbert Shildt):
The function tell() is part of the UNIX-like I/O system and is not
defined by the ANSI standard.
Thus, I think libc6 should include it. It appears that libc6 now includes
a manpage for ltell (which, I agree, is what the function should have been
named in the first place). However, for compatibility reasons, there should
be a #define tell(a,b,c) ltell(a,b,c) in unistd.h.
Can anybody confirm if ltell exists in libc5?

Re: bug ?: Disappearing DOS partitions
If you haven't fixed your problem, I can help you. Just send us what your able to see from DOS (with DOS FDISK) and/or from linux with cfdisk and with fdisk if you have it on your system (they do not present the same information as far as I remember). Just a comment to what Bruce said: I think DOS cares which partition is the extended one. I think it wants it to be partition 4, but I'm not sure I remember that correctly. I don't think that's true. Maybe MS-DOS FDISK cares about that but not MS-DOS. I mean, I have tried and used many different configurations of extended partition where the extended partition has been the 1 the 2 or whatever you want. Comment: in fact we should be more specific as what's the meaning of 1st, 2nd. as you could write the information about the 2nd partition (not starting at the first cyilinder) in the 1st line of your partition table. IN any case I thing there is no such a limitation from the MS-DOS side. What MS-DOS FDISK cannot handle is to create more than one FAT _primary_ partitions. If one already exists then it allows you to create an extended one only. There is however an old good DOS application which is more flexible than MS FDISK and has been long used by the BSD people. Its name is PFDISK and can be found (both source and DOS binary) in for example NetBSD ftp under the tools tree (check out www.NetBSD.org). PFDISK would also allow you to modify (save first a copy of your PT from within PFDISK writing to a file in the DOS partition) the master partition table. This master partition table contains info of only 4 partitions and it is located at the beginning of your HD. I can help you with more details if you need. FYI, I also had several primary DOS partitions. MS-DOS sees them all. I've done it on my system with both versions 5.0 and 6.x of MS-DOS. If your unseable DOS partitions were primary (just check what cfdisk sees as DOS partitions: if they are on /dev/?daN with ? = s or h and N 4, then they were logical partitions in the extended partition; else if N5 they were primary partitions and (forget FDISK) you could recover them with DOS PFDISK and the info you got from linux cfdisk/fdisk (I can help you if you need it).

Re[2]: 'tell' is missing from libc6
for what its worth...
There is no man page for tell on hp-ux, dec unix, or aix. However, a
simple program that calls tell will load so the routine exists in all
of those environments. Using nm confirms tell, ftell, telldir,
and variants with one or more _'s in front (but no ltell).

Re: Download
Hello Leslie, I really reccomend that you get a CD ROM to start out with. I am a somewhat experienced user, and I still wouldn't know how to install from ftp from scratch. What with creating and formatting a partition, geting your initial disks set up (I believe Debian still uses these? it's been a while) and other things I think ftp install could get very confusing very fast. Also, the CD ROM gives you hundreds of megs of neat stuff. Even the bare minimum will take a painfully long time to download over most links. I don't know about you, but my ISP is way too flaky for that process to go smoothly. Take a look at www.cheapbytes.com. They have current CD's very cheap.

I've just finished the hardware part of building my very own PC Compatible (AMD K5-166, Amptron PM8600 motherboard, 32MB RAM, S3 Trio64+ 2MB video card, Creative Labs SoundBlaster Vibra16 audio, Hitachi 7730 IDE 4X CD-ROM, Quantum Bigfoot 4.3GB IDE HD, Teac 1.44MB HD, soon to be getting a Seagate [Conner] 800MB Tape Drive) and am tweaking Windows95 into submission. When I formatted for 95 I left 1.3GB unformatted for use by Debian Linux 1.3.1. I will be using Benedict Chong's excellent utility PowerBoot to make the system a dual-boot. I chose Debian at the behest of Chong and my longtime friend Phil Hansford. My CD comes from Workgroup Solutions (Linux Mall) but I will buy another direct from the Debian Organization to support their good work. Are there still any pitfalls to using Debian Linux with the K5 chip or any of the other hardware I mentioned above? Eventually I plan on upgrading to the K6 chip...I've heard some Linux horror stories about the K6 not working. Anyone on this list use PowerBoot to dual boot? I'm gonna need a *lotta support* from you folks, and I promise when I become a Linux guru I will help the newbies on this list.

Sounds very nice! I'm green. When I formatted for 95 I left 1.3GB unformatted for use by Debian Linux Why did you piss away so much space on MicroBarf W$95? You'd better served devoting it to Linux (I think Debians distribution was a terrific choice that you'll live to be pleased with, though). 1.3.1.

While I don't have direct experience with either the K5 or the K6, I'm sure someone on the list has and will allay your fears.
