netscape libraries error
parts of my new machine have arrived at the office, so now it's fast enough to be more than an xterminal (this isn't the same machine that's having the troubles with PAP/PPP). So I installed netscape. But I get the message, yryttyp1:hawknetscape netscape: program is version 3.01, but resources are version 3.0. This means that there is an inappropriate `Netscape' file installed in the app-defaults directory. Check these environment variables and the directories to which they point: $XAPPLRESDIR $XFILESEARCHPATH $XUSERFILESEARCHPATH Also check for this file in your home directory, or in the directory called `app-defaults' somewhere under /usr/lib/. eyryttyp1:hawk I've never had version 3.0; this is right after an install. I encounterd this a couple of months ago; some days it worked, other days it gave this message. But since it was running on a 486 even when it worked, there was no point in continuing . . . rick -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: Pentium error
Umm -- isn't ^] your telnet client's responsibility? Err, I can't answer that decisivly but lets put it this way, I'm using Debian's standard telnet client which works with CTRL-] with everything else Of course, since it's a mostly graphical OS (not many console mode programs) telnet is pretty much a waste of time anyway. OS/2 Warp has a telnetd as well -- same value. True... but it would be oh so nice if there was some easy way to remotely maintain an NT box without having to have a Windows box to run PC Anywhere from (or similar).

How do you do this? My mc (3.5.17, from Debian 1.3.1) doesn't seem to
support .deb packages by default, and neither the .ar files that they
really are (just .tar files).
IIRC you add this snippet to /etc/mc/mc.ext

Better yet is to get an unofficial later version. Try

Can I use Samba with dial-up?
I have to connect to a client through their Win/NT network to get to their Unix machine. They want me to use Dial-Up Adapter from Win95, but this means that I have to drop all other useful work while I boot up that abomination. I can't make it work anyway, and as usual with MS stuff I can't find out what is going on. Can I use Samba to dial out on a modem and connect to their network? I can see how to use Samba across a network, but not how to use it with a direct dial-up connection. Since I actually want to talk to a Unix machine, can I do without Samba altogether? Does MS Dial-up Adapter use ppp? If so, what kind of negotiation does it do? (I'm sure the customer won't know.)

Re: Proposal on PPP
On Tue, 18 Nov 1997, A. M. Varon wrote: Hi, [Hope some developers are listening.] Could it be possible that all default windows manager in debian have an Icon pointing to xisp (a graphical dialer, used to interface pppd/chat.)? It's very easy to setup even for a newbie. I think almos 30% of the traffic in the deban-user mailing lists concerns about PPP. Redhat has an implementation in it's xconfigurator( sort of like a control panel.), and the dialer of redhat is easy to use. Could it be done also to debian? About a year an a half ago, Bruce requested that someone write an ash script that used dialog to help guide a user through setting up a ppp connection. The idea was to have something that could potentially fit on the boot floppy, giving people the ability to obtain only one floppy, and download the rest of the OS over the ppp link. It was good idea, but I was the only one who bit. Actually, at first there were for or five people interested in working on it, but by the time I transfered out here, I was the only one left. This was the first time I ever attempted to write an application for other people to use, so it was pretty rough. The package is dunc. It's since been rewritten and works a lot better than the original, though it still suffers from my inexperience, and the fact that its written in ash (IMO). Since its never been useful enough for anyone to say Hey, look what we have on our boot floppy (it never even made to a boot floppy, in fact), I decided that it really wasn't important enough to pursue actively. I do plan on rewriting it in perl, but it will not use dialog, since the install program no longer uses it. I don't know what the install program will use, so I'm not sure that dunc should be bound to its original constraints anymore. I'm also aware of a number of pretty good X based PPP setup tools, and would be happy to hear that debian had adopted one as its default X based PPP configuration tool, but we do still need a terminal based tool, in my view. I'm a bit behind in the PPP world at the moment, and was never an expert in any case, so I'm still perfectly willing to abandon dunc in favor of a better tool, or turn it over to a different maintainer. There doesn't seem to be too many interested parties though. Anyway, please give dunc a try, and let me know about any oddities.

Re: Help needed intalling debian
On Tue, 18 Nov 1997, David Welch wrote: Hi, I am brand new to linux and debian. I have been trying to intall debian on my Toshiba T1910 laptop (intel 486sx33, 4mb ram). I have downloaded all the required files from debian/stable/disks-i386/current. When I try to use rawrite to copy resc1440.bin and drv1440.bin to disk I get either address mark not found or sector not found error. Attempting to boot with the rescue disk hangs my computer. I was able to copy the other disk image files without problems. There are several possibilities for these errors. First make sure you have a top quality floppy (Check it with Norton DD or some such). Bad floppies is the most common cause of failure. It is also not clear exactly how you are using rawrite (BTW, this should be rawrite2.exe, found in the same directory). If you are running windows, you will want to get to the dos prompt for this, as windows will interfere with the write process. If you have '95 the problem is more complex and I will deferr to someone with more experience with that problem. In addition, many laptops have problems with the bzImage that is provided on the installation disk. Depending on which section of disks you downloaded, there should be a special subdirectory that contains a tecra and a v30 directory. The tecra kernel is a zImage and should work on your machine. I would try these resc and drv disks and see if that helps the problem.

Re: qpopper and qmail
I'm having a little trouble getting qpopper_2.2-4 to work with qmail_1.01-1 on a bo system. I rebuilt the qpopper package with the changes suggested in the qmail package for $HOME mailboxes. The problems I am having have to do with inability to create and use the temporary maildrop file in /var/spool/pop. I've tried messing with directory permissions and some other build definitions in the makefile and popper.h, but so far no luck. I have a feeling this is some kind of setuid/setgid type problem, but I'm kind of ignorant about most of that stuff. I think I'll get this figured out eventually, but if anyone has already gotten qpopper to work with qmail and would be willing to share configuration information, I'd really appreciate it. I run qmail on a bo system, together with qpopper and I also battled with this. I have the following in my /var/spool directory: drwxrwsr-x 2 root mail 1024 Nov 19 16:28 mail drwxrwsr-x 2 root mail 1024 Nov 19 16:28 pop Only qpopper uses this. I think the spool files go in one directory and the lock files in the other. Qmail of course writes all mail and locking into the user's home directory. I installed the qpopper*.deb file first and then replaced the binary with the patched one. You might have to create the mail directory if you are not converting from sendmail or smail.

Re: squid
A thought. We run amd here which we use to remotely mount /usr/share (amongst others that probably don't make any difference to squid). Could that have anything to do with the problem we're experiencing with squid? (i.e. it fails to start at boottime but works fine if restarted by root from the commandline once the coputer is up) Since amd starts so late in the boot scripts, we've found at least one script (/etc/rc.boot/svgatextmode) that relies on files (/usr/share/consolefonts) which are on a filesystem that hasn't been mounted yet! This of course means that this script fails to run. Just an idea...

Re: how to reduce colors used by netscape?
I am using a program that requires several colors available to operate ptoperly. For example, if netscape is open and I use the other program, whenever I enter its window with the mouse pointer, all the colors outside that window change. do you need the programs at the same time? If you use netscape with the -install option, it uses a private color map; it will not consume any colors from other applications. however, the solor map is switched away as you enter/exit netscape. From your description, the other program may already be doing this. rick -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: fat32 in installation vfat module?
I'm interested in submitting a 'Beginner's Debian Installation Guide' of some sort. I have about 80% of the framework of one completed, but am concerned about the lack of fat32 support. As is stands, if someone has a new computer formatted in fat32, they would have to format a fat16 partition to download the packages into. the vfat module in the Not correct. In no case do you have to download the packages onto a non-Debian partition. dselect can automatically grab the packages you need on-the-fly via PPP, Ethernet, Token Ring, or whatever network system you have. There is no need to download them beforehand; in fact, doing so will probably be much more difficult. I was under the impression that the base install doesn't come with full PPP support (it says this during installation). After the base install (from floppy), you still are unable to dialup. If you could dialup, that would, of course, solve everything. Thanks, Matt -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

IP Masquerading and the IP Masquerading kernel
I just upgraded one of our servers from the 2.0 kernel to the 2.1.64 kernel. Unfortunately it wasn't as seemless an upgrade as I would have hoped for.

Does anyone know of any changes to the use of the IP Masquerading in the linux kernel?

On Tue, 18 Nov 1997, Debian List wrote: Hi!! Thanks again... Ok I tried the dpkg-source -x and here's the error I got: dpkg-source: error: tarfile `./mgetty_1.1.8.orig.tar.gz' contains object (mgetty-1.1.8/README.1st) not in expected directory (mgetty-1.1.8.orig) Help! ;) Ricardo I had a similar problem with the xemacs20 source package - here's what I did, soup to nuts: Got the .tar.gz, .dsc, and .diff.gz files from ftp.debian.org. Since I have a bo system, I then had to make certain that I wasn't using the ldso from hamm. (the dpkg-dev in bo has problems with the ldd in ldso 1.9.x) Then, after experiencing the same problem with dpkg-source, I untarred the .tar.gz file into a temporary directory, and moved it about. That is, I did (something equivalent to) cd /tmp tar -xzf /usr/local/incoming/xemacs20_20.2.orig.tar.gz Now, this should have created a directory called xemacs20-20.2.orig; instead, however, it created xemacs-20.2.orig (I think; I know that the name was wrong, but can't remember exactly how it was wrong). So then I did: mv xemacs-20.2.orig xemacs20-20.2.orig tar -cf xemacs20_20.2.orig.tar xemacs20-20.2.orig gzip xemacs20_20.2.orig.tar This created a new xemacs20_20.2.orig.tar.gz - I then replaced the copy I'd downloaded with this one. This may be all that's needed; however, I also took the extra precaution of modifying the .dsc file; in the .dsc file there will be a line like: ece482d641199333788fb56bc6ea5e55 20651833 xemacs20_20.2.orig.tar.gz I changed this to match my new xemacs20_20.2.orig.tar.gz - this first long gobbledygook string was generated by 'md5sum xemacs20_20.2.orig.tar.gz' - the number after that is the size as shown by ls -l. As I said, this may be unnecessary, but I did it anyway. Then to compile the thing, I didn't use dpkg-buildpackage. Instead, after running the dpkg-source command to extract the package, I found that it (the source) had been put in /usr/local/incoming/xemacs20-20.2/ So then, I did: cd /usr/local/incoming/xemacs20-20.2/ vi debian/rules Now, the debian/rules file is just a makefile; I added the configuration options I needed; you may have to make other changes, (possibly in other files) depending on how mgetty is configured. I then did a debian/rules clean debian/rules build debian/rules binary This produced (after _much_ compiling and whatnot) the .deb packages (more than one since the xemacs source generates xemacs and xemacs-support, etc.) I wanted in /usr/local/incoming. I then could use dpkg to install them as I would any newly-downloaded .deb package.

help with mounting particular CD

Can anyone give me pointers to a Debian utility that could give me the file system type that Debian so sucessfully has mounted? Apparently it's not iso9660, or at least FBSD won't mount it as iso9660. FBSD will mount other CDs as iso9660. The CD is supposedly accessible by Unix, Win 95 NT, and Mac.

RE: Can I use Samba with dial-up?
Þann 19-Nov-97 skrifar Oliver Elphick: I have to connect to a client through their Win/NT network to get to their Unix machine. They want me to use Dial-Up Adapter from Win95, but this means that I have to drop all other useful work while I boot up that abomination. I can't make it work anyway, and as usual with MS stuff I can't find out what is going on. Can I use Samba to dial out on a modem and connect to their network? I can see how to use Samba across a network, but not how to use it with a direct dial-up connection. Since I actually want to talk to a Unix machine, can I do without Samba altogether? Does MS Dial-up Adapter use ppp? If so, what kind of negotiation does it do? (I'm sure the customer won't know.) Is it possible to telnet through such a connection to the network beyond? It depends on how they've installed their system. Usually M$ requires a special M$ handshake with other M$ machines that dial into an NT administered network. But the NT can also handle normal PPP/PAP authendication on their incoming dialup line. If they use PAP authendication it's easy, the only abomination from the rule is the user authendication part, which you put into your pap-secrets file... it must look like DOMAIN\\username * PASSWORD Where DOMAIN is the NT Domain that is assigned to dialin users at your remote end. However, I was unable to use samba over the serial line... samba didn't work over it (this was last summer, so maybe it has improved some). But once you're connected with PPP (with dynamic IP address for their intranet), things should be according to your wishes. You may notice, that your remote NT server will behave strangely on an occasion. One part is, that when you are doing ftp it will freeze. This happens if you are downloading a large file, and there is a lot of delay on the network... usually you'll get the whole file, but won't receive the last signature packet. So, just monitor the file until its full and then kill the ftp session, to keep the file :-) Another really neat feature with NT server is, that after a while, especially if the RAS is configured to use DHCP for the incoming lines instead of fixed addresses.

Re: help with mounting particular CD

Re: Memory and printing

The files will have the postscript format. For example one file I recently printed was 6.2 Mb. The cheapest laser printer is HP 6L with 1 Mb of memory. Does this mean I will not be able to print my files which are larger than 1 Mb? Or doesn't it matter as long as my computer memory is large enough ? Any hint will be appreciated. The printer will be unable to print *pages* which pixels (as provided by Ghostscript) will not fit in memory. If you have 10 pages, each needing about 600k, you only need 600k for printing them as the pages are discarded from memory as soon they are printed. I suggest you purchase an additional 4MB JEIDA memory expansion card (about DM 100 = $ 56), don't buy the original from HP as it is much more expansive. They are also available with 1MB, 2MB, and 8MB in size. When I had the original 1 MB memory in my Laserjet 5L (very similiar to your model) I had problems printing some pages with a lot of text (e.g. a2ps double-sided), the printer was unable to compress this information to fit in 1 MB and left out some pixel (it did not even switched to 300dpi). The additional memory will also allow you to use download-fonts (is this supported by ghostscript?) and buffer some pages.

Strange network
Problem: I try to telnet to my system, and after typing the first two or three characters of my username, my connection hangs. The system on the other end is apparently ok. System: Hooked In through an ISP called WantWeb, the system is connected to a Hybrid modem acting as a gateway to the net. The Hybrid modem takes outgoing signals and pushes them through a standard modem, and recieves signals beck from a microwave antenna. Notes: The Linux box is running debian 1.3 from CheaapBytes. It uses IP masquerading to service the other systems in my house, but this should be irrelevant. This is the machine I am telnetting to. Since I'm on essentially a dial-on-demand system, When someone (like me in this situation) tries to connect to my box, it might take a second or two to dial me, but then transmission should be fine. This was the case until recently.

Re: fat32 in installation vfat module?
I'm interested in submitting a 'Beginner's Debian Installation Guide' of some sort. I have about 80% of the framework of one completed, but am concerned about the lack of fat32 support. As is stands, if someone has a new computer formatted in fat32, they would have to format a fat16 partition to download the packages into. the vfat module in the Not correct. In no case do you have to download the packages onto a non-Debian partition. dselect can automatically grab the packages you need on-the-fly via PPP, Ethernet, Token Ring, or whatever network system you have. There is no need to download them beforehand; in fact, doing so will probably be much more difficult. I was under the impression that the base install doesn't come with full PPP support (it says this during installation). After the base install (from floppy), you still are unable to dialup. If you could dialup, that would, of course, solve everything. The ppp support is not fully setup, you need to provide some configuration, but all the programs needed for a ppp connection are part of base -- Proudly running Debian Linux!

Some of it depends on what you want to do with the system, of course. Is it going to be a file server or anything like that? The second thing to think about is the PC's somewhat dated partition scheme. You can only have 4 physical partitions on a drive, but you can divide those partition into logical partitions. All things being equal, it's better to avoid logical partitions if you can. It's also simpler for you, the installer. :- You'll want a root partition (where, among other things, kernels and temp files will be stored), a swap partition (*much* faster than a swapfile), a /usr partition (this is where most of the applications and such go), and a /home partition (for user accounts). The root partition doesn't have to be terribly large - 250MB *max*, probably more like 100-150MB. You have to decide how much swap you'll need, but the standard rule of thumb is 1-2 times the amount of physical ram you have, so in your case that's 64-128MB. (I seem to recall that there are issues with swap partitions greater than 128MB, but I don't remember any details, sorry.) I have a 500MB /usr, and it's starting to get a little cramped - 600MB ought to be plenty. That leaves about 600-700MB for /home, where you'll keep your personal files. Should be plenty of room, unless you'll be storing large quantities of incompressible info, like graphic files, sounds, or movies. You'll have to make the call on that. Put the swap partition in the middle of the drive if you can. This helps to minimize seek times and helps you get to swap a little faster. That's the theory, anyway. My system is a K6-200, 64MB sdram, Graphics Blaster3D, SB AWE64, Does anybody see any incompatibility problem with my hardware. Also would like to install X11.

Re: no write permissions for /tmp
Bob asked, Did you perhaps restore from backup? If for example you use tar, permissions on files created (including /tmp) are affected by umask. Root's default umask is 022 which blocks out write permission for group and others. Two ways to avoid this are: set umask to zero before restoring or use the -p option on tar. While inside /tmp, I untarred netscape. could this have done? /tmp had permissions of 751, which i've changed to 1777 which seems to help. hmm, and theowners and group were 888 and 999, which i've changed back to root. rick -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: Can I use Samba with dial-up?
I don't know exactly about dial-up with a modem conections, but I have conected the abomination with my linux box through a serial cable making it think it was a modem via dial-up, and it does use standard, yes I am saying standard PPP, I made de conexion with pppd on the linux side, and it worked. Also without samba I could use all linux services from W95 (ftp, telnet, ping... well I didn't try anything else). Using samba I could share printers and files with W95. I am sending my specific options file for that conection. I would say it uses PAP, I mean, my Internet Server uses PAP and before linux I used W95 to conect via dial-up. There is something else, I had to use +ua insted of user option with pppd to make linux conect to my Internet Server, maybe you have the same problem. As far as I know, and I am no expert, you should be able to telnet and ftp and all with no samba.

Re: TkSTEP...anyone done it?
Well, it does exist a deb package, it's in the unstable(hamm) distribution, you need to have installed the older version of libc5, the one which came with the oficcial debian cd's so that it does not conflict with libc6 which you will have to install to have the TkSTEP package installed and happlily configured.

if your graphics card is not capable or more than 256 colors don't bother to keep reading. I don't know where that configuration is, but there is another solution,you can start the X server on 15,16,24 or 32 bits so there will be more than enoght colors for all your aplications. startx -- -bpp 15 startx -- -bpp 16 . . . or if you use xdm you should coment out the local server line in /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers and with xdm loaded: X -query localhost -bpp 15 X -query localhost -bpp 16 . . .
