two random questions...
Hi everyone- I have a couple unrelated questions to which I'm hoping someone might have answers. First, I've installed APS for my HP DeskJet 682C. Everything works wonderfully for PS files, but now when I pipe plain text to the printer (via lpr), I get output that looks as if it's been rotated to landscape format and is printed with a smaller font than I'm used to seeing for plain text output. (It's almost as if it's been enscript'ed with the -2r arguments.) It's only very slightly annoying, but I'm just curious as to why this is happening. Secondly, I'm using the ctwm window manager, and I want to have the pointer warp to newly mapped windows. For example, if I'm using Netscape to view a secure document, Netscape puts up a modal warning dialog box. I'd like to be able to just hit the Enter key on my keyboard rather than having to navigate the mouse over to the dialog box. Does anyone know how to do this?

The code you showed doesn't need anything but perl. If the command whence perl

you should be fine. I think I'd uninstall and re-install perl were I you.

there is something wrong w/ perl.

Existant Font isn't found!
I am trying to run a number of programs like filerunner and tkman, but get
errors like:
font -Adobe-Helvetica-Bold-R-Normal--*-120-*-*-*-*-*-* doesn't exist
However this font _does_ exist as can be seen when I execute the command:
$ find /usr/lib/X11/fonts \( -name fonts.dir -o -name fonts.alias \) -exec
grep -i -e '-Adobe-Helvetica-Bold-R-Normal-.*-.*-120-.*-.*-.*-.*-.*-.*' {}
\; -ls
which produces the following:
helvB12.pcf.Z
-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--17-120-100-100-p-92-iso8859-1

These files come from the xfnt75 and xfnt100 packages which, according to
dpkg --status, are installed just fine.
However I only installed these packages just recently and I wonder whether
X isn't configured properly and doesn't recognise these fonts.
Any ideas?

Magicfilter depends on being able to tell what kind of file it is. I think the file has to begin with %!PS-Adobe- for it to be detected as PostScript. Is that the case?

Re: CGI Error
I took his script, just as it was posted earlier, and installed it

I sent him the same script I made, and it doesn't work on his
system, I am using perl5.003, and Apache 1.1.3 (Debian/GNU). He
also had the permissions the same as I had mine set on my working

xntp, ntpdate, setting the local clock
Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Hi, I'm using xntpd (for no good reason), have setup my ntp servers in /etc/ntp.conf, have ran ntpq to find that xntpd is working great. However, the local clock isn't being set, according to reftime in ntpq | rv. I'm unsure if the offset being roughly 2881775 is a problem, but I know that's a lot (probably about 8*60*60*10, since I'm at GMT+8, yep). I'm also not sure what to do about the timezone issue. My /etc/init.d/boot is set to UTC ( GMT=-u ), and I have a TZ assignment in my .bashrc which corrects the clock in X-windows ( TZ=UTC ; export TZ ). /sbin/clock -r gives the correct time, so I think that all I need to do is to learn how to set the local clock, so I can automate the procedure. I see a note: ntpdate will decline to set the date if an NTP server daemon (e.g., xntpd) is running on the same host. (/usr/doc/xntp3/html/ntpdate.html) That could be a problem.. :-) Should I be using ntpd (vs. xntpd), or .. ??

PCMCIA modem is silent
My friend's Toshiba laptop has a PCMCIA modem card. When it is dialing the number, you can't hear it - it doesn't make any sound. I've tried lots of things like atm1, atm2, checking for interrupt conflicts, but nothing seems to work. I've even tried borrowing someone else's modem card and trying that, but still no sound. The funny thing is that there was a time when the modem did make a sound. That was when RedHat was installed on the laptop. It is only since Debian was installed that it seems not to work. There is one thing which I wonder may be responsible.

A little hitch on this one is For non profit organizations and educational institutions, it's free. For commercial use, you have to pay. Therefore, It's not exactly free. Anybody care to compile it as a .deb file? I subscribed to the nntpcache mailing list for a long time. Development is on-again off-again but it does seem to creep along. WHat I like about it is that it is smart enough to know that if nobody is reading a group, it does not pull articles for it. If someone requests articles in a group that has no cached articles, it will go and get some. Basicly, it is like DNews. It pulls articles based on what is being read. It sure saves network bandwidth and disk space. Actually, a program could be built to do this with cnews + nntpd + suck. The program would have a cache table that it passes to suck in the form of a sucknewsrc. It would tail the nntplog and if a group is read that is not being cached, it could be added to the sucknewsrc and then get-news would be kicked off to pull some articles. If a group is not read in a configurable number of days, it is removed from the sucknewsrc and no articles would be pulled for that group until someone starts to read it again. Since cnews, suck, and nntpd are pretty stable programs and are already debian packages, a small glue program to do this should not be too difficult. It could be done with inn as well.

Since your set-up works with the pre-compiled kernel, it follows that you
have a problem either with the configuration of your own kernel or in the
loading of modules.
Have you enabled ethernet in the kernel as well as incorporating a driver
for your particular network card?
If you have configured these as modules, are you either running kerneld to
load them automatically when required, or else running modprobe at boot time
to load them once and for all?

Re: Partitioning (fwd)
Hello Andrew, there are a few things you need to do first with your drive before you can move your linux onto it. You have to partition it forst, you said you want two plus swap. What are they / and /usr if I may ask? If this drive is going to be home to any servers run on it you may want to add a third partition /var. If instead you are going to need space for space for user accounts you may want the third partition to be /home or something to that effect. The way you want it is not very good for the OS. Having logging and user accounts in / is very dangerous because if / fills up you won't be able to use it. May I make a suggestion on how to partition your hard drive. /dev/hdb1 50megs/ /dev/hdb2 50megsswap /dev/hdb3 1000megs/usr /dev/hdb4100megs/var This is one senerio to look at. your logging is in a different partition and / is not effected by what /var does. The other thing you could do in this situation is make a symlink from /home (where user accounts are stored) to something like /usr/friends/. This way user accounts are stored on /usr partition and root won't fill up so easily. Another alternative is the following. /dev/hdb1 50megs/ /dev/hdb2 50megsswap /dev/hdb3800megs/usr /dev/hdb4300megs/home This senario you have your user accounts on a different partition and your /var is off / so your logging is in /. I don't like this way because you have to consider how much space to give users and the only way to give it is from your user partition. The first example I think is the best. because your logging and user accounts are not in / and you use as much or as little of /usr. After you decide on how you want to partition your hard drive it, you have to make a file system. After you do those two things you have to mount the new partitions and maybe edit your fstab in /etc. Once you do those three things you should be rackin' and rollin'. I hope it works for you. I hope this helps you. Paul On Mon, 8 Dec 1997, Andrew wrote: Owing to the fulness of my Linux partition, I have bought a 1.2 Gb harddrive. I'm intending on transfering Linux to this, leaving win95 to fester on my old 800 Mb one.

Can I just copy everything directly across and point LILO at the new hard drive, or are there other issues at stake here?

crc error
Hi,
I had a major crash on my debian this weekend and now I
would like to know how would I go about retrieve some of
the files that I'd like to keep.
Here is the symptom:
1) At boot, I got about 3 line of text printed out. One
of which said: crc error and the next line immediately
said: System halt
2) I tried to boot with the emergency disk which allowed me
to boot up the system OK with:
a) the /usr partition not cleanly umount message and
a force fsck was executed and the e2fsck dump (e2fsck
crashed).
b) same as a) with the /var partition.
3) I did an e2fsck manually and still gotten the same dump
as 2a).
3) I tried to mount the unclean partition so that I can copy
some of the files that I'd like to keep and the cp also
crashed with similar message as the e2fsck above.
BTW, the crashed began when I was using the MySQL with Perl
script to update the database which is the data that I'd like
to keep...
Anyone here can help me out here. Please send suggestion...
I think that I'm S.O.L. !( at this moment.
Thanks!

RE: Debian Problem after Compiling Kernel

Are you sure that you compile the correct driver for your
networking card into the new kernel? I get errors like
this after I have recompiled the kernel with the wrong
ethernet card driver. If you think you did this correctly,
did you compile the driver as a module? Are you sure that
it is loaded early enough in the boot process? (I usually
compile networking into the kernel - since memory is cheap.)

incorporates the 2.0.29 kernel. Installation goes without a hitch.
Everything works fine. I download the latest developers kernel (2.1.71)

ip-up script in PPP package with 'persist' option
A friend of mine who I recently converted to Debian is encountering a conceptual problem with the PPP package. He has a dynamic IP, but wants to keep his connection up as much as possible. So, since the Debian ppp options file includes the persist option by default, we thought we were okay. And it does work -- ppp redials if the connection is lost. But he also would like to know his new IP when the computer redials, so I wrote him a quick Perl script to upload his IP in a little HTML document to his ISP, so he could find his IP from any 'puter with a web browser. The problem is, we don't know where to call this script from :) I tried putting it in the /etc/ppp/ip-up script, which ostensibly is called whenever ppp brings its connection up, but evidently is not called with the persist option. Is this a bug in the PPP package, or a problem in my logic? Ben -- Brought to you by the letters R and E and the number 9.

Re: reply:StarOffice,printing and dj, again!
Thanks for the replies. For Paul Thompson: I wasn't sure exactly what that did and that was a test to see what condition the message was in when it came back to me. Now I know. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears Netscape will pick the proper format for the message and recipient if you pick the 'send both types' box before transmitting. That one time I forced it to send in HTML. Bad idea for some. I've turned this off. Let me know if it doesn't work properly. For the rest who provided guidance on my printing problem. The Star Writer package inserts the postscript stuff at the beginning of the file. The first line is '%!PS-Adobe-3.0 EPSF-3.0' and the file is saved as a .sdw file. I saw somewhere that the filters don't check the file suffix but instead look for the clues in the file itself to determine the filetype and filtering stuff. However, the little test file goes right through and prints all 6 or so lines. Looks like the file is not going through the filter(s). Let me get a little lengthy to understand the route the file takes. When I print from Star Writer, let's say, the lpr command is used. At this point, the input filter from printcap is applied (dj550c-filter) which starts magicfilter (#! /usr/sbin/magicfilter) which then applies the magicfilter configuration file to identify the file type, then passes that information back to dj550c-filter which then hands it over to gs (if it is a PS file) with the appropriate command line parameters and then to the printer. I don't think the file type is identified properly and as a result, is passed through as regular text. Is there a way to test whether the problem is with magicfilter or gs, or a way to test each separately? thank for the help, tony mollica [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Only one primary partition. At home I've got about 3 primary partitions and 6 logical on a single disk. The only thing I can recall being important is use dos fdisk to generate dos partitions and Linux fdisk to generate Linux partitions. I saw that suggestion somewhere and it seems to be accurate. I've never had a problem running Linux on a combination of logical and primary partitions and I've had Linux coexisting with DOS since 0.12. The only problem I've ever had was with DRDOS 6 when it used to scramble the partition table and reorder it. That would cause problems like moving your /dev/hda3 partition to /dev/hda4 or something similar. It was easy to fix by editing the /etc/fstab file, however, but it did give me a bit of a sinking feeling until I figured it out. I stopped using DRDOS fdisk after that. Jim. - Received message begins Here - hello again, I hope I understand you correctly you want to take a 100 megs of your win95 partition and use it with /home to make a grand total of 400 megs? or did you want to take my first suggestion and add an additional partition of 100megs as /home? If you can do that but I would not recommend that you are getting into ligical partitions and they can run into problems. linux only recognizes 4 primary partitions. your stuck if you want more. if you want to take 100megs off your win95 partition you will need something like partition magic to repartition your drive with out losing any of your data.

Re: dunc pppd configuration script
John, I am not sure that I even want to get into this flay but some comments about my own observations with the issue are: Some ISPs using CHAP present the username/password sort of thing (of course username: might be something else like login:, account:, etc. but actually don't use them for ppp logins. If the script wakes up getty on such systems, a ppp login attempt will fail. I personally am trying to play around with the multiple ISP problem here and while in principle it ought to be trivial it is proving to be anything but! I believe that in part, a problem is that it is not at all clear who is doing what with whom (and which whom) as far the files are concerned when trying to use such things as xisp or dunc and the like. Inasmuch as hamm seems to create the /etc/ppp/peer directory and the etc/chatscripts/provider file, I would suggest that any user configuration tool default to naming the provider files with name related to the users input thus in effect making the existing provider files example files. pon itself seems only to lack the ability to accept either an arguement (which might be a security problem) or a choice which should not be a problem. I am strongly in favor of the idea that pon should be setup to use named provider files and never use a file actually named provider (of course this is an issue with the maintainer of that package and not you). I believe that if the pacakge configuration for pon worked that way, it would be much more obvious to the sysadm how the system works and what changes need to be made to enable other ISPs. I also feel as though the whole process, as it currently exists (in bo), of setting up an ISP connection is horribly messy. It seems like some options and parameters are stuffed into unlikely places (and often duplicated). I am pretty sure that this is at least in part due to several different philosophies about how to establish a connection all in use at the same time as well as evolution occurring in the fundamental software used for the process (pppd changes probably being the most significant influence). In addition the existing documentation that the individual is likely to encounter that deals with setting up just ONE ISP much less multiple, conflicts on how to go about the process. It looks to me as if the latest version of ppp provides for the solution of the options file problem in a clean manner as long as the pppd developers remain consistant in their default settings for future upgrades. As I am sure that you are aware; this really is a _SERIOUS_ problem for Linux in general and is anything but a trivial one for you to solve. New user perception is likely to be that getting on-line should be a simple matter--after all to get onto AOL, Worldnet, fill in the blank is just a simple matter of answering a few simple questions and letting the software take care of everything else. I doubt that most people starting off with Linux have any idea of just how difficult it is to obtain some of the critical information that is built into these custom ISP sign up programs. I don't know your own priorities but suggest that ALL connection methods be considered for eventual inclusion in your setup software, even slip. Again, it is a bit presumptive for any of us to assume that something like slip will not be the critical factor for someone new wishing to use Debian Linux. I do agree that the priority for something like that should be lower than trying to make it nearly foolproof to connect to a main line ISP. best, -bill [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] --Please note [EMAIL PROTECTED] does not work-- --nor does anyone@anyhost.wconsult.com-- ==and yes eventually I'll get the mailer figured out== from a 1996 Micro$loth ad campaign: The less you know about computers the more you want Micro$oft!

Re: ip-up script in PPP package with 'persist' option
On 8 Dec 1997, Ben Gertzfield wrote: The problem is, we don't know where to call this script from :) I tried putting it in the /etc/ppp/ip-up script, which ostensibly is called whenever ppp brings its connection up, but evidently is not called with the persist option. Well, are you sure that it isn't being called? On my machine, I just checked this (by adding in the persist option and then fiddling with my modem's power cord to get it to drop the connection a few times and force pppd to redial), and it appears that /etc/ppp/ip-up is indeed getting called again when ppp connectivity is re-established. For what it's worth, my ppp is version 2.2.0f-23.

Looking for Linux rplay testers
rplay is an audio system I developed on Suns a few years ago that until now had never worked very well on Linux. I spent some time this past week learning about the OSS driver and added some code to get rplay working well on my Debian 1.3 Linux 2.0.32 systems. I'm looking for people to test this new version and let me know whether or not it works. If you're interested you can obtain the GPL source distribution from: http://rplay.doit.org/dist/rplay-3.3.0a1.tar.gz My plans are to someday create a debian package for rplay and maybe convince the maintainers of the xpilot, xlockmore, xboing, fvwm, and ctwm packages to enable the builtin rplay support. Thanks. (I'll include the README.linux and README files below) rplay README.linux - notes for Linux users. Linux support is based on the Open Sound System driver included with most Linux kernels. /dev/dsp is used by default with CD quality output -- 44100 Hz, 16-bit, 2 channels. These parameters can be changed using the --audio-* command line options and/or ~/.rplaydrc. When /dev/audio is used, rplayd uses 8000 Hz, 8-bit, 1 channel, and ulaw output. /dev/mixer is used to control the volume and configure output ports. rplay supports headphone, lineout, and speaker. Ports that aren't enabled have their volume set to zero. The --audio-fragsize rplayd option can be used to control audio device buffering. Fragment sizes must be a power of 2 greater than 16. By default, rplayd lets the audio driver pick an approriate fragment size which has about a 0.5 second delay. Example sizes: 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192 Reading audio from CDROM uses /dev/cdrom by default. Make this a symbolic link to your real CDROM device. For example: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root8 Oct 1 12:46 /dev/cdrom - /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom1, /dev/cdrom2, and /dev/cdrom3 can also be created if available. Tracks can be played using: $ rplay cdrom: # play entire CD $ rplay cdrom:5# play track 5 $ rplay cdrom:1-3 # play tracks 1, 2, 3 CDROM support only works on non-SCSI CDROM devices, I think. rplay 3.3.0 README Copyright (C) 1993-97 Mark Boyns [EMAIL PROTECTED] RPlay is a flexible network audio system that allows sounds to be played to and from local and remote Unix systems. Sounds can be played with or without sending audio data over the network using either UDP or TCP/IP. RPlay audio servers can be configured to share sound files with each other. Support for RPlay is included in several applications. These include xpilot, xlockmore, xboing, fvwm, and ctwm. The RPlay audio server is known to work well on Linux, SunOS 4.1.x, and Solaris 2.x. FreeBSD, Irix, and HPUX are known to work but the current status of these drivers is unknown. Linux support is based on the Open Sound System (OSS) driver so other systems using this driver might work with a few modifications. See the COPYING file for license information. See the INSTALL file for compilation and installation instructions. See the NEWS file for a list of user-visible changes. See the PORTING file for help with porting RPlay to other systems.

Can I stay current using source packages instead of binaries?
Hello, Normally I stay current with hamm using dselect or dpkg directly. This uses binary packages. The drawback is that sometimes (most often) the real package doesn't change, but only the patches that were made to 'debianize' it. Now I wonder whether it is possible (e.g. like the FreeBSD ports system) to stay current using source code; thus one only downloads the underlying package once, and gets new versions of the debian patches only.

Logical partitions created with DOS fdisk are completely unusable by Linux, and often will result in cfdisk reporting a broke partition table.

It doesn't have a cd-rom (well it does but it's pcmcia), and all of my Linux stuff is on cd-rom !..My cd-rom is supported with kernal image 2.0.30 and newer and I can solve this but my resc1440 disk uses k.image 2.0.29 so I need to get a rescue disk that has 2.0.30. The real problem I am having is that without my cd-rom I can't install the base system and it is too large to put on a floppy to install it WHAT CAN I DO? Do you have a PCMCIA or parallel port ethernet card that you can use to network to another computer with a cd-rom? I was able to do an ftp install that way by mounting the cd-rom on my desktop and ftping from that.
