Re: Sound support in kernel-image-2.0.30
why don't you simply use make-kpkg to compile the kernel? Will Lowe wrote: On Sat, 4 Oct 1997, Tom Ed White wrote: How can I find out which sound cards, if any, are supported in this kernel image? If you're using the standard debian-installed kernel, I don't think ANY are automatically supported. I want to know if I need to recompile my kernel for sound. I suspect that many of the drivers are already there, since the device file is present. There's no way to get around compiling the kernel. This isn't such a bad thing, as the kernel-install process is simple enough that a trained monkey can do it :). Assuming you've installed the kernel-source.2.0.30.deb, it's 1) determine your soundcard configuration (DMA, IRQ, addresses, etc.) 2) as root, a) cd /usr/src/linux b) make menuconfig (or make xconfig, if you're running x and tcl/tk) c) select sound and follow the prompts at this point, take a look at the other stuff in your kernel; if you don't have scsi, disable scsi support, etc makes the kernel smaller and faster --- you'll probably also want to make sound a module, unless you use your sound card 24/7 3) make dep 4) make clean 5) make zImage 6) make modules 7) make modules_install 8) mv /vmlinuz /mvlinuz.old (or some other backup name) 9) cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/zImage /vmlinuz 10) modify /etc/lilo.conf to have a stanze for each kernel -- keep the old one around until you've run the new one a while (you might instead make the new kernel into a boot disk, so you don't have to play with lilo.conf yet -- to do this make zdisk with a disk in the drive) 11) run lilo and then reboot Email with questions.

Converting a ps file from letter to A4 ? fig2dev ?
I am trying to make the sag (linux System Administrators' Guide) from the LDP. The complied version that is stored there is in letter paper size while I need A4 paper size. Is there a site (perhaps in Europe) that has an A4 postscript version? Is there a way to convert the ps file that the LDP stores from letter to A4 ? Is it true that if I'll make it myself I will have an A4 version (that is, is the letter paper size not an integral part of the formatted files) ? The following is from the Makefile: # # This is the Makefile for formatting the Linux System Administrators' Guide. # You need LaTeX2e (probably a recent version), fig2dev (version 3), and ^^^ # the usual UNIX tools to run everything. The distribution contains # all formatted files (especially figures). # Is there a debian package that contains fig2dev or an equivalent utility ?

And it should act like a AWE-32, because I have the suspicion, that they mostly enchanced the software driver, not the hardware. (I wouldn't be surprised, if the hardware is nearly the same. I have a AWE32 with the 64upgrade, and they say that I have a functionally AWE64, so it is another sort of Winsoundcard) What you want is awedrv, which is available as a debian source package.

You just have to install and congfigure isapnp, that it is (and add the sound module to the modules autoloaded at boot time, if you want. You can even load a sound font bank at boot time). The awedrv does not support all the SB 64 capabilities, but from what I understand the extra channels are provided by software anyway. Yup. The Awe driver supports a good part of the AWE32 stuff.

One was on the fileserver. I replaced the cards, and now all of the machines can ping each other again... however, nothing else is working like it used to. When a win95 station tries to connect to it, it gets a Network is busy error (Samba is running on the server). (as a sidenote: smbclient -l server gives the correct response) When trying to connect to the server via telnet, it takes a horrendous time (in the order of minutes) between where it says Escape character is '^]' and Debian GNU/Linux 1.3 shadowglen.ml.org The fileserver is also acting as a router to the rest of the internet, and I can't connect to anything outside the net either (two ethernet cards, one for external net, one for internal) I know this is somewhat vague, but I'm not even sure where to begin. I'm guessing (randomly, really) that the internal network is getting flooded with packets from somewhere, but I haven't started running anything unusual.

Re: procmail emulate mail error
Is there a way to make procmail emulate a mailer error. E.g. when I'm spammed, procmail (or actually some program that would be run from procmail) would reply with something along the lines of an unknown user. This seems like a fairly complicated script and I'm not sure it would actually work (e.g. sendmail may change some of the headers indicating a success). I'm thinking that maybe a few of these spammers remove bounces from their address pool. Not sure if this is what you want, but you can add addresses/hosts to reject in /etc/mail/sendmail.rej [or wherever you specify]. Just add the following to sendmail.cf -- # reject list of originating email addresses and domains FR/etc/mail/sendmail.rej -- sendmail.rej just contains addresses/hosts that you wanna reject. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] baddomain.com -- etc. D. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: Network frustration
On Sat, 4 Oct 1997, Mike Patterson wrote: Ok, to start with, my network was working beautifully until this afternoon. Then, without (explainable) reason, two of the computers on the network had their network cards die. One was on the fileserver. I replaced the cards, and now all of the machines can ping each other again... however, nothing else is working like it used to. When a win95 station tries to connect to it, it gets a Network is busy error (Samba is running on the server). (as a sidenote: smbclient -l server gives the correct response) When trying to connect to the server via telnet, it takes a horrendous time (in the order of minutes) between where it says Escape character is '^]' and Debian GNU/Linux 1.3 shadowglen.ml.org The fileserver is also acting as a router to the rest of the internet, and I can't connect to anything outside the net either (two ethernet cards, one for external net, one for internal) I know this is somewhat vague, but I'm not even sure where to begin. I'm guessing (randomly, really) that the internal network is getting flooded with packets from somewhere, but I haven't started running anything unusual. my guess is that your problem may be broken DNS, mostly because of the telnet delay. is named still running on your name server machine? can it resolve hostnames and ip addresses? can other machines on the network use it to resolve names? are all the zone files intact? any errors in /var/log/daemon.log? check /etc/resolv.conf on the server, too...is it pointing at the correct name server? another possibility is that you have another faulty ethernet card somewhere on your network - it's odd to get 2 or more cards die at the same time...maybe you had a lightning strike nearby or some bizarre voltage spike on your ethernet, maybe induced voltage from running your cables too close to a huge coil/transformer/electrical motor or something like that (these are only guesses, of course) anyway, if there's another broken card it could be causing all sorts of havoc on the network. do you get a lot of packet loss when you ping the fileserver from a workstation? btw, to scan your network for suspicious/anomalous packets run tcpdump and watch the output for a while. monitor the activity on your ethernet. BTW, it's a good idea, IMO, to practice this when you have a happily functioning network so it's easier to tell the difference between normal network activity and strangeness. also try installing the courtney package on one of your unix machines (it's available as a debian package) - it can detect some types of attacks against a network. it's definition of an 'attack' is rather simplistic though. it's purpose is to detect port scanning probes like satan. if you're really worried about a network attack, use packet filtering on your external router (e.g. ipfwadm if it's a linux box) to block out all incoming packets except those you know you need. when your users start screaming because you inevitably forgot :-) one or two unimportant ports like www and smtp, tweak the rules so they're a little more open. if you are really concerned about network security *DO NOT* make your fileserver the same machine as your internet gateway. resurrect an old 386 box from gathering dust in a cupboard if you have to and build another router/firewall box.

Re: xcontrib and xproc packages
The xproc package, as well as several other packages, has an obsolete dependancy on the virtual package elf-x11r6lib. This virtual package used to be provided by xlib6, but it was removed almost a year after it had been announced as obsolete. Installing the package with the --force-depends option to dpkg will allow you to install it anyway. If I run force-depends, won't dselect decide that the elf-x11r6lib package no longer exists, therefore uninstalling xproc and xcontrib? Dselect is too much of a helpful tool to give up. dselect will bring up a conflict resolution screen whenever you exit from it complaining about the unresolved dependancy. It should however, leave them selected. You can exit that screen by using 'Q' to tell it to override. I think you have to hit R first, because dselect will deselect all packages depending on the not existing package. You could also fetch Paul Seelig's equivs package from http://www.uni-mainz.de/~pseelig/debian.html This is a dummy package. You can place elf-x11r6lib into provides: and rebuild it (instructions how to do this should be inside the package by now). Then you install it using --force-conflicts. This way you will have a package which provides elf-x11r6lib and dselect/dpkg won't complain any more.

traplayer?
Has anyone on the list been able to get traplayer (a non-X interface to Real Audio's raplayer) to work with Debian 1.3.1? I keep getting an unexpected end of file error with it.

You can rule out a traffic flood by simply pulling the connection to the outside world. Then see if your internal services perk up. another possibility is that you have another faulty ethernet card somewhere on your network - it's odd to get 2 or more cards die at the same time...maybe you had a lightning strike nearby or some bizarre voltage spike on your ethernet, maybe induced voltage from running your cables too close to a huge coil/transformer/electrical motor or something like that (these are only guesses, of course) Have you added another machine to the network that is plugged into a different mains power circuit? If you are using coax for your ethernet, the shield is running at power-line ground. If there is a difference in ground potential between two systems on the ethernet, you have a recipie for disaster. Same goes for any serial cables that you might have added to a terminal that is plugged into a different power circuit, many manufacturers of serial devices do not properly isolate pin-1 from pin-7 (on a DB-25 connector) and can cause ground loops. Example, if you run a coax to your buddy next door, you might have serious trouble if there is a diffefence betwen the ground circuits in the two houses. Even something as minor as a bad connection in a power strip can cause trouble. If you have a voltmeter, you might remove the coax connection at each machine, one at a time, and measure between the connector shell and the computer chassis. If you read more than a volt or so, you might have trouble. Replace the connector before checking the next machine. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: savelog with immediate compress
Yes, thank you. However, that would cause the useless creation of the .0 file because it will be nearly empty... :( each savelog would take up 2 files.

And this really shouldn't take significantly longer than running savelog once. Note, though: BUGS If a process is still writing to file.0, and savelog moves it to file.1 and compresses it, data could be lost.

Re: re- thinkpad install
Thank you very much Carey, your suggestions were very helpfull. Problem : However, the CD-rom access is still not mounted. and I do not know how access it.

I do not know what mem_base,irq to use in the boot command : Future Domain TMC-8xx/950 tmc8xx=mem_base,irq How do you add another driver to debian ? for example: Future Domain TMC-8xx/950 tmc8xx=mem_base,irq Does something like this need to be placed into the lilo.conf file ? under /proc/scsi/scsi it says:- Attached devices: none under /proc/devices it contains: Character devices: 1 mem 2 pty 3 ttyp 4 ttyS 5 cua 6 lp 7 vcs 10 misc 12 tpqic02 36 netlink Block Devices: 1 ramdisk 2 fd 3 ide0 7 loop 9 md 36 ed Therefore I do not think the CDrom has been recognized.

For some reason, the Thinkpad inverts the meaning of some floppy control lines. You always have to put floppy=thinkpad when you boot.

The following only applies to the unstable tree: xlib6 has once provided elf-x11r6lib and X programms had a depend on this virtual package. But elf-x11r6lib has been dropped and xlib6 now conflicts with it. But there are still clients which depends on the package (they have bugreports filed against this).

Am I right in my understanding that you just need to copy over a rescue disk, isapnp, and possible bash (to write initrc with) into the initrd environment? Anyone done this? How your isapnp.conf file looks like? can you send it to me? You just have to install and congfigure isapnp, that it is (and add the sound module to the modules autoloaded at boot time, if you want.
