strcpy HELP!!!!
I'm using libc6 2.0.7pre1-4 and strcpy gives me a segmentation
error!
I've attached my C test program for inspection(source only).
I only do a few things. malloc memory for a variable(forgot a
corresponding free)
copy a string in this varible, copy this string to another
string, print both
on the screen. The exact error message is attached to the
source.
I will now check bug track.
Thanks in advance
Philip

This is your fault. You need to allocate memory for temp2.

No wonder. You have to allocate memory for temp2 string before copying to it.
do temp2=malloc(strlen(temp1)+1); in between of two strcpy and everything's
gonna be OK.
Good luck.

The protocol used by netdate gives the time with an accuracy of about one second, the ntp protocol is more accurate. Another big difference between netdate and xntpd is that netdate sets the clock once while xntpd is a daemon that connects to the server at regular intervals and tries to correct drift even when not online.

Hi Jim, I'm trying to help a friend install Linux from a laptop. The problem is that it can have a floppy or a CDROM drive installed, but not both.

Not supported in the bios. Been there, done that grin My problem was I didn't even have a CD-ROM I could plug in... Somewhere on the debian distribution is a file called rawwrite2 (I believe), which you can use under a DOS based system to copy images onto floppy disks. I'm not going to tell you how to do this tho, as it's all laid out in a very readable, step-by-step fashion in the Debian Installation manual. This should also be on your Debian CD somewhere. Basically, make the 9 (I believe) install disks (yes, I know this is tedius, but a lot more fun than installing Win95 by floppy!), and that will take you through and install a working, but basic, debian installation. From that point you should be able to mount the CD-ROM and install the rest of the stuff. You could also do it via FTP from your Win95 machine using ethernet is you have a PCMCIA network card.

Re: strcpy HELP!!!

Re: Sound problems
Tkdesk always looks for one at /dev/audio and tells me that it doesn't exist. I know that /dev/audio doesn't exist but how do I get it there? I looked for a sound card driver package, and only found AWE ones and nas. Have you recompiled your kernel with audio support? It's not enabled by default IIRC. OK, I've just had exactly the same problem so I can help you on this one. First download the package kernel-source, and all the files it links to on it's page. Install them all. Also, download tk8.0, tk 8.0-dev, tcl 8.0 and tcl 8.0-dev. Install them. Now, change into the directory /usr/src/linux, then type 'make xconfig' while in X-windows. Configure all the options you want, including sound support. Save and exit. Now, in /usr/src/linux, type 'make dep ; make clean'. When that's done (assuming there were no errors), type 'make zImage'. When that's finished, go into directory /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/. Your new kernel, called zImage, should be there. Now, if you boot off floppy, just replace the kernel image on your floppy disk with zImage, and reboot with the floppy in. Incidentally, after doing all this, I still get patchy midi sound through kmidi. It will play bits (the same bits each time) of a song, then just stop playing until a new song starts.

I can't tell if fetchmail is even running (I start it at login using start-stop-daemon -S --exec fetchmail -- -d 5000) although it shows up on TOP every now and then. How can I check if it's running, and if it's retrieving any mail, where is it putting it? Can you get the messages running fetchmail from command-line ?

Permissions on /dev/ttyS1 (Was: Re: debian 1.3.1 troubles)
I have been troubled with intermittently changed permissions on /dev/ttyS1, and have been searching for some cron job that might have caused it. Your comments about the pppd source gave me a clue. I thought that if pppd changes these permissions, then restores them on exit, an abnormal exit could cause the problem. I just started ppp, then killed pppd with kill -9, and found that the permissions on /dev/ttyS1 were now 640. Also, /var/run/ppp1.pid and /var/lock/LCK..ttyS1 were still in place, which would be problematical for some modem operations. Why does pppd find it necessary to fiddle with these permissions anyway? Bob you wrote: Joseph Carter writes: Congratulations, you're now part of dialout and can now .. dialout! The bad news is that SOMETHING at least on my machine keeps changing it back to mode 640! This is naturally QUITE annoying. Seems the only one that gets changed back is ttyS1, which leads me to believe pppd is doing it. Not a clue how at the moment. From a quick glance at the source, pppd should save the mode and restore it on exit. I just tested this with pppd-2.3.3 on hamm. Seems to work. -- _ |_) _ |_ Robert D.

afterstep-1.0 package somewhere?
Hi, Does anybody still have an afterstep_1.0 package lying around? I accidentally installed 1.4, and I hate it. Completely new configuration, which I don't want to learn right now (other than that it looks very nice, though I already noticed some problems with the pager after less than an hour of use).

I want a libc6 package _ | TU Delft, The Netherlands, Faculty of Information Technology and Systems | | Department of Electrical Engineering| | Computer Architecture and Digital Technique section | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | - -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Bad/Counterfeit memory? [Was: Upgrading to hamm]
FWIW, I took the suggestion to try 2.0.32, and my system still acts up with 128M in it. 64M is fine. I think it's the new SIMMs. They don't fail memtest86, but gcc and dselect won't work... I haven't tried to test *just* the new SIMMs yet, but I'm suspicious of them simply because they have a Micron Technology logo on the chips, which has been carefully laser(?)-etched to the point where it's nearly impossible to see. There is a diamond pattern over the MT logo. The outfit that sold them to me told me that they were Micron chips, and it took me a *long* time to discern the MT logo at all. I suspect that they're rejects, or don't test out at 60ns like they're marked, or something... Can anyone verify this? I tried them at 70ns and they still don't work. Be careful when buying Major brand memory, and get a commitment to the manufacturer name in advance if possible.

Re: more on emacs and version control
Ulisses Alonso Camaro wrote: Hi all I would like to know if there is a way to customize emacs-vc to use by default the master files (,v files) in other directories. I would like to keep all master files in a ROOT-MASTER-FILES/PATH where the real file is directory This doesn't actually answeer your question and perhaps you've already considered this, but you might be able to accomplish the same effect by making your RCS directory a soft link to where you want the master files to live.

Note, though, that: 1) this is a directory, and not a file! 2) I already purged xemacs* ! Sure. The directory is not empty when xemacs will be purged, because the conffiles are still in it. *After* this the conffiles will be deleted, but the directories remain. Only directories should be left over, and they are not doing much harm. So you're saying debian, by project, leaves directories behind? Too bad :^ Not that they are so evil, or take too much space, but as sure as it can be, it's not the Right Thing To Do (tm)... ONLY when in the directory a conffile was. This is because we differentiate between removing and purging. Removing does keep the conffiles (this is logged and good because you keep your configuration). If you want to get rid of the conf files, you purge the package, but then no directory clean up is done. Normally, all directories that are not needed anymore are removed. In this special case, they are not. Thanks for the explanation. Since we're talking about leftovers, these messages are, AFAIK, due to leftovers from some packages, and they are not directories. Can you tell me how to get rid of them?
