keyboard locks
I'm trying to install debian for the first time, from the LSL Debian 1.3.1 CD. If this helps, I have: an AMD K6 on an Intel 430TX chipset installing from the CD via MSDOS-6. Everything is fine when I boot up - I get the 'uncompressing Linux...' message and the screen scrolls through all the hardware as it says in the installation html document. BUT: when the scrolling hardware screen gets to the keyboard, I get a pause and then 'keyboard timed out' flashes up twice. The installation then scrolls through more hardware and puts up the 'Color-or-Monochrome Dialog Box'. Trouble is that the keyboard has locked and I can't do anything except a hardware reset. The keyboard has a PS/2 connection, but should that cause any bother? Anybody got any suggestions? Please? - Harry -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Don't answer 'y' if you have some other card made by Media Vision or Logitech since they are not PAS16 compatible. ProAudioSpectrum 16 and compatibles --- PAS16 has a SB emulation chip which can be used together with the native (16 bit) mode of the card. To enable this emulation you should configure the driver to have SB support too (this has been changed since version 3.5-beta9 of this driver). With current driver versions it's also possible to use PAS16 together with another SB compatible card. In this case you should configure SB support for the other card and to disable the SB emulation of PAS16 (there is a separate questions about this). With PAS16 you can use two audio device files at the same time. /dev/dsp (and /dev/audio) is connected to the 8/16 bit native codec and the /dev/dsp1 (and /dev/audio1) is connected to the SB emulation (8 bit mono only).

Ok. You also need to install (still using disks) the pcmcia packages. You will need pcmcia-cs and pcmcia-modules to match your installed kernel version. Once you have installed these, it should then recognize your network card and let you connect to the network. Since we have dhcp service here, I also installed dhcpcd when I did this not too long ago. This should give you enough network service to be able to use dselect's ftp method to install the rest (or the NFS method, but I didn't have an NFS server with Debian available when I did it, so I just used the ftp method.) After you install everything, you should compile a custom kernel (as usual); install the pcmcia-source package and compile a custom version of the pcmcia modules to match your new kernel. You should also check out the Linux laptop home page at http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/kharker/linux-laptop/ which has more information about running Linux on a laptop than you wanted to know. It appears as though there is in fact a link to a page dedicated to the Compaq Elite series there.

question on using lpr
I just installed Debian version of Linux on my PC. I created a sample C program using Vi Editor. When I entered the command "lpr proga.c" it looked like this: 1st line 2nd line 3rd line 4th line ..(you get the idea). I am new to UNIX; however, I have been in the computer industry for 30 years (MVS, VM, Windows) and have never seen anything like this. What is so incredible is how each line aligned itself in a staggering formation. Anyways, can somebody help me. What do I need to do to format this properly? Is there any documentation on the arguments and options? Also, how can I copy a file from my harddrive to a floppy (i.e., A: in Windows or MS-DOS).

Re: debian re-install?

No. But you can do it *without* the floppies. ;-) I suggest you install the kernel-source and kernel-package packages, and read their documentation.

Find out which kernelversion the patches are made for. Download the official kernel sources from ftp.kernel.org. You cannot use the kernel source provided by Debian, because they may already contain some patches. Unpak the kernel source into /usr/local/src. This should create the directory /usr/local/src/linux. Enter this directory and type the command: patch -p0 < some-path/patchfile Now you are ready to compile the kernel. I suggest you install the Debian package "kernel-package".

Ehm, no. a+s means "add an `s' bit to all (user + group + other) permissions". That's not what you want. Anyway. UUCP has a weird setup, but it works. I needed the following: - uucico anly available to users in the group "uucp" - uucico must be setgid "dialout" to access a tty device. Those points conflict, you cannot make a program setgid dialout and only executable for group uucp at the same time. So, uucico is now placed in the directory /usr/lib/uucp, which has permissions: drwxr-x--- 2 uucp uucp 3072 Jan 29 16:40 . Only users in the group uucp can access files in /usr/lib/uucp. So now we have satisfied both above mentioned points. If you want other users to be able to use uucico, relax the permissions on the directory /usr/lib/uucp ..

This is something i've been lost in tring to fix. the cables are all fine and i've tried 2 hubs and still have noticed the same thing. Any ideas on this? Hmm got off track there but i had to ask on that... Now i also have an old IBM PS/2 Model 80 386 and an even older PC2000 XT (8086 maybe) sitting in the closet. The IBM runs fine with it's 2-4 mgs of ram (i forget right now) and it's 70 mg hard drive with dos and win3.11 installed. The XT i don't even know if it works yet. Now what i want is a direct connection from these to my P200 server -without- the use of any software. ie a dumb terminal.

I suggest you install LPRng wich is and enhaced version of LPR (commands and options are the same), also install magicfilter wich will configure you the printer system in a very easy way, then with "lpr " you'll print it.

Without the watchdog, you could kill the prozesses and everything would be OK again. This "systemoverload" could also happen due to a deny-of-service attack. And in this case the watchdog will bring the system to a sane state by doing a clean shutdown and a reboot. Or do you want to watch your server (if you had one) 24h/7days a week?

When I configure edit preferences navigator applications to use acroread to open URLs pointing to pdf files as follows: DescriptionPortable Document Format MIME type application/pdf Suffixs pdf Application /usr/bin/acroread %s I get an error when I open URLs that point to pdf documents.

OK. I had to make one small change because I don't have a ttyS0, but
I do have a modem on ttyS1.
% make testsp
cc testsp.c -o testsp
% strace ./testsp
execve("./testsp", ["./testsp"], [/* 31 vars */]) = 0
...
open("/dev/ttyS1", O_RDWR
It stops at this point, with "TR" lit on my modem. If I happened to
have my modem set to auto-answer, and something connected, *then* the
open() would complete.
If I already had something on there that had set CLOCAL, like mgetty,
it would have run through. BTW:
% strace ./testsp2

Re: Pgp 5.0 & Linux Install Question..
Hello All, Sorry if this too far off topic, but I thought there might be others out there with the same questions, or possibly some answers. Devon, I'm not completely clear on a couple of things with pgp yet... By way of explanation, I'm really a newbie at Linux, having migrated over from Win 3.1/95. I was using MIT pgp 2.6.2 with an RSA 2047 bit key. It's been awhile since I've really used pgp and wanted to update myself. I downloaded the freeware MIT 5.0 version, installed it on my Debian machine and was under the impression I _had_ to generate the Diffie-Hellman keys to be able to communicate with other 5.0 users. During the install process, however, I noticed immediately I was missing my pgp.cfg file. While thrashing around the pgp newsgroups and Deja News looking for answers, the impression I got out there is that freeware 5.0 pgp really isn't all that great, and is useless when it comes to communicating with folks that are usng RSA keys. At this point, I've deleted freeware 5.0. I'll probably go back to MIT pgp 2.6.2 and just copy my old keys to the Debian side of the house, at least until I've educated myself further on the 2.6.2 vs. 5.x varieties. I didn't really find any clear cut answers out there while looking around, but so far it looks like I'm better off with my RSA keys... If you have a different take on this or can enlighten me, I'd like to hear from you... BTW, Is there a Debian build for US pgp 2.6.2?

Re: How to share files with Win95 or NT
This was suggested in another message --- but not clearly. You say you have a shared WIN95 box with a CD available. I assume it is on the same side of the firewall as you -- meaning you would not have to go through your proxy server to *FTP* to that WIN95 machine. So, get a FTP daemon for WIN95 (I suggest WAR-FTPD -- 100%free software) and set that up. Make sure you set yourself up a user account on the new FTP server that has access to the CD-ROM as one of its directories. Now use dselect in FTP mode (in house, direct -- not through the proxy server). On 21 Jan 98 at 13:48, debian-user@lists.debian.org wrote: > See, the problem is I have a computer with no CD.

The solution is to use the mainboard's on-board controller instead. BTW, does anyone know when the kernel will have ultra DMA support?

Re: fips equivalent for ext2?
I assume you have disk space available, either on another partition or available to partition. Assuming that the new partition is to be /dev/hdxn. As root, you should do the following: 1. fdisk /dev/hdx Use p to see the existing partition arrangement, then, if it doesn't already exist, use n to create a partition for /home. This partition does not have to be on the same drive as the rest of the system. 2. mkfs.ext2 /dev/hdxn 3. mount /dev/hdxn /mnt (or any other convenient mount point) 4. cd /home 5. cp -a /home /mnt 6. umount /mnt 7. mount -t ext2 /dev/hdxn /home (Note that this does not damage the existing files on /home.) 8. create an entry in /etc/fstab that will mount this new home partition on /home. After testing this setup, and being satisfied that nothing is missing from the new home directory, you may reclaim the disk space from your old /home directory as follows: 1. umount /home 2. rm -fr /home (This irretrievably destroys all files from the old /home directory.) 3. mkdir /home 4. mount /home Bob On Wed, 28 Jan 1998, Ulisses Alonso Camaro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have a system with many users with /home mounted on the root partition. > I would to avoid this, my root partition fulls the system, and I would > like to try something different than reinstall the the system with a > different partition layout. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
