FIXED - Can't start X ! root
Thanks for the quick reply, Jens! Good news, though! I've just figured out the problem on my own Turns out that when I'd configured things, I'd screwed things up in the /etc/X11/Xservers file. I'd made a duplicate of the original, X server line (line 1), changed the first line and put a hash in front of the second, backup line. The old second line ( = Console ) had now been moved down to line 3. After reading the comments in that file (line 5 6), it turns out that my solution was to delete the backup line, thus moving line 3 back to line 2. As soon as I'd done this, everything was fixed I guess if line 2 doesn't equal Console or Anybody, then it defaults to RootOnly Which I guess is the safe way to do it Anyway, thanks for the quick response. Later, Kevin On Mon, 18 May 1998, Jens B. Jorgensen wrote: Kevin, this is probably a feature (only the maintainer and his/her hairdresser know for sure). The X server, because it gets into your hardware, needs root permission. Historically this meant the server executable was setuid root. Naturally this is a security hole so they've probably left setuid off by default now. This works fine generally because the easiest way to run X is through xdm. Since you're new to X I'll explain that xdm (the X Display Manager) basically replaces the text login screen with a nice X login screen. xdm is generally started at boot time also. This way X can be run as root conveniently, you get a nice, pretty login screen, and to top it off xdm will run the server with authentication turned on. All in all it's the way to go. I'd be happy to help you get it configured. Kevin Traas wrote: I'm fairly new to X, so this might be an RTFM question. If so, please point me to where I can find an answer.

ksh core dumps
Hi,
I'm using ksh to run some scripts that generate java code. INormally I
would run these scripts on a Solaris (thus the ksh) but it's so much
faster on my Linux box... :-)
Anyway, today I got one script which is crashing ksh !!!
~/javaSDK/generate sdk SQLViewEntity
SQLViewEntity...
Memory fault (core dumped)
Now I don't publish this script here because I can't (it's
copyrighted), because when on it's own this script does not crash ksh
but it does when invoked by the other scripts, and because I could not
isolate the cause of the crash. It involves a for loop with an empty
list of parameters, accessing ${12}. Well, maybe I could send the
scripts to someone interested in debugging this though.
But basically it seems to execute some code inside a loop where it
should not go since there is nothing to iterate on (for i in ; do ;
done). I say that because by changing what's inside the loop I get it
not to crash anymore. Now I cannot pinpoint what I have to remove. T
here are many unrelated things I can remove that fix that (but my
script no longer does what it's supposed to).
So I downloaded the source code, compiled it, and run my script with
the compiled code and... it does not crash ! So there is nothing I can
debug unfortunately. Now the ksh I get (after stripping) is different
from what I have installed on my machine, although they are both from
the same package version (maybe the compiler is slightly different).
I feel the ksh in the distribution should be fixed. But how ?
I can send the core file to anyone who asks, all gdb tells me is:
Core was generated by `ksh ./450s.MIRXxx.ulinks.java'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.
#0 0x400516c3 in ?? ()
A simple recompilation probably is not enough. I believe the core dump
is caused by writing or reading past the end of some array/string so
the bug might seem to go away with a recompilation but would come back.
I have:
- a hamm installation
- ii pdksh 5.2.13-3 A public domain version of the
Korn shell
- pdksh_5.2.13.orig.tar.gz - the source code
- pdksh_5.2.13-3.diff.gz - the debian patches

Re: Reply-to and what the standards have to say about it.
Hi, I scanned the following RFC's; and gleaned (in strict chronological order), what they say about the reply-to field. The standards scanned were: 822 987 1026 1123 1137 1138 1148 1327 1495 1838 2157 2156 In all of these, Reply-to is explicitly said to be set by the originator or the author of the message. There is an example that says the originator may put the mailing list address there if they wish to. But they may not. And it was never ``designed to be used for mailing lists'', as someone has claimed here. I use a MUA, as I said before, that correctly allows *ME* to be in control, and I may reply solely to the list on any list I so choose. I hope this clarifies things. manoj __ August 13, 1982 - 19 - RFC #822 Note: The Reply-To field is added by the originator and serves to direct replies, whereas the Return-Path field is used to identify a path back to the origina- tor. 4.4. ORIGINATOR FIELDS The standard allows only a subset of the combinations possi- ble with the From, Sender, Reply-To, Resent-From, Resent-Sender, and Resent-Reply-To fields. The limitation is intentional. 4.4.3. REPLY-TO / RESENT-REPLY-TO This field provides a general mechanism for indicating any mailbox(es) to which responses are to be sent. Three typical uses for this feature can be distinguished. In the first case, the author(s) may not have regular machine-based mail- boxes and therefore wish(es) to indicate an alternate machine address. In the second case, an author may wish additional persons to be made aware of, or responsible for, replies. A somewhat different use may be of some help to text message teleconferencing groups equipped with automatic distribution services: include the address of that service in the Reply- To field of all messages submitted to the teleconference; then participants can reply to conference submissions to guarantee the correct distribution of any submission of their own. Note: The Return-Path field is added by the mail transport service, at the time of final deliver. It is intended to identify a path back to the orginator of the mes- sage. The Reply-To field is added by the message originator and is intended to direct replies. 4.4.4. AUTOMATIC USE OF FROM / SENDER / REPLY-TO For systems which automatically generate address lists for replies to messages, the following recommendations are made: o The Sender field mailbox should be sent notices of any problems in transport or delivery of the original messages. If there is no Sender field, then the From field mailbox should be used. o The Sender field mailbox should NEVER be used automatically, in a recipient's reply message. o If the Reply-To field exists, then the reply should go to the addresses indicated in that field and not to the address(es) indicated in the From field. August 13, 1982 - 22 - RFC #822 Standard for ARPA Internet Text Messages o If there is a From field, but no Reply-To field, the reply should be sent to the address(es) indicated in the From field. Sometimes, a recipient may actually wish to communicate with the person that initiated the message transfer. In such cases, it is reasonable to use the Sender address. This recommendation is intended only for automated use of originator-fields and is not intended to suggest that replies may not also be sent to other recipients of messages. It is up to the respective mail-handling programs to decide what additional facilities will be provided. APPENDIX A.2.4. Committee activity, with one author George is a member of a committee.

To judge from the Linux on Laptops Page (http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/kharker/linux-laptop/), Toshiba in general seems to be quite compatible with Linux, and HP far less so (though, or maybe because, it has the more interesting hardware). But the exact models I'm interested in have not been reviewed there. So, is anyone out there running GNU/Linux on one of these machines and can tell me about his experiences?

Problems with irqtune...
Hi all: I've been following the list for a while now and I am really impressed by the degree of cooperation everyone has here. Well, at last I've decided to write you as I have a problem I haven't been able to solve alone, though I am not a newbie in Linux, or at least not too much :-) I have a problem with irqtune. I use Debain 1.3.1 almost upgraded to r7 and when I try to execute irqtune it complains about insmod not being able to load module '/usr/lib/hwtools/irq_tune.o'. I have tried to make the insmod manually and then it complains about not being able to find the kernel version the module was compiled for... The module is in its correct place, and I have made a depmod over it and also a depmod -a... My kernel version is 2.0.33 from the debian package and I have made same changes to the kernel and installed a custom one... is that the reason, perhaps? I have made the changes totally by hand ( I mean using 'make menuconfig', 'make dep', 'make clean', 'make zlilo'...) and then I have installed the modules I have compiled with 'make modules' and 'make modules_install' and everything else works smoothly... Well, I have no idea about how to fix it, and why it happens... so any idea would be greatly apreciated.

Re: How to print A0 documents on A4 printer ?
Hi, The program is COOL, COOL and COOL. It is doing exactly what it says and it is doing that job well. So, I highly recommend this program to those that need to make an A0 poster from a A4 document, but have only an A4 printer. Just don't forget: the program multiplies the dimension of the postscript file with the number of pages it needs to compose the final document (this is also stated in the man page of the program).

I have installed debian 1.3.1 r6 on my computer and (following the directions from att worldnet for using linux with their ISP service) attempted to get my modem to dial out. I compiled support into the kernel for both slp and ppp. During the boot phase the messages which scroll past the screen (and get dumped to the /var/log files) contain several lines for PPP so I assume that the correct kernel got installed in LILO. I created a shell script in /usr/sbin called ppp-on which contains a line pppd connect 'chat options supplied ... but running this script gives the error mesages kernel does not support PPP. Any ideas? I am now writing this in the office, my debian machine is at home. I will get my kernel options file, the exact ppp-on script, kernel log messages, etc if more info is needed here.

How to convert Microsoft mail to Netscape mail ?

Debian as mail server and firewall
Hi, A friend of mine runs a small (16 machine) ms windows based network. It is a mix of nt and win95. He just had a T1 installed an now wants to setup a mailserver. He has been having some trouble setting up microsoft exchange, so he asked me if I thought LINUX could do the job, and if I could set it up. I pretty sure Linux can do the job. I not quite so sure about me, but I figured with a little help from the list maybe. If the mail server goes well he also wants me to setup the box as a firewall. I also suspect that they will want some kind of web server eventually. Anyway the mail will be read by netscape on the windows machines. The users know nothing about unix. Basicly, he is going to give the machine. I have to set it up making it simple and invisible to the users. They really can't need to know anything other than their normal microsoft stuff I have only installed Debian a single user machine. I do not have networking experience. I figured this would be a good learning experience Any advice on how to do this is very much appreciated. By the way His boss is sortof leaning on him so he needs me to get this up and running by Friday. I figure the probably need smail and samba to do this. Are the special kernel issues to consider when I build the system. Anyway How hard is this to do and can anyone help me.

Re: [off topic] Mail with no destination?
But Art, what I am talking about is a message with _NO_ headers even so much as hinting at the _destination_ for the message. Fetchmail, errored out (rightfully so as far as I am concerned) because is was presented with a message that had no destination! I say 'rightfully so' since it is pretty obvious that fetchmail knows that exim has no way to determine what to do with the message. Actually, I think that fetchmail errored out because there was no valid from:, sender, reply to:, etc. headers. I am assuming here that fetchmail actually was 'not concerned' that there was no addressee of any sort but instead was concerned that there was no way to 'bounce' this particular message so it just plain refused to accept it (effectively blocking my ability to retrieve mail from the ISP). I have not yet received any (meaningful) response from my ISP but I really do want to know how a message that has no destination headers of any sort could possibly have ended up in my mail account!

Can someone help me? Pine does not do this by itself. The docs state that Pine will support this, by allowing you to define multiple folders for incoming mail, but it won't do the filtering for you. You need to use something like procmail, which is available in .deb format from ftp.debian.org. Procmail is very easy to set up. For example, here's a sample of my .procmailrc, which sends all mail from the Debian mailing list to a special folder: :0: * [EMAIL PROTECTED] ./mail/archive/debianuser :0: * [EMAIL PROTECTED] ./mail/archive/debianuser This procmail recipe grabs all messages with the To: or Cc: header being debian-user@lists.debian.org, and places them in ./mail/archive/debianuser. Pine has been setup so that it treats this file as an incoming mail folder (in addition to the default INBOX). Procmail is powerful, easy to configure, and well documented. When you install it, you'll get the procmail man pages, and other manpages called procmailex, which are examples of procmail recipes.

Newbie installation help on Toshiba 105cs

However, to make things interesting, I'd actually like to install it on a Syquest SyJet 1.5GB cartridge in my SyJet that I have hanging off an Ataptec APA-1460A PCMCIA SCSI adapter, on which I also have a 16x Teac CD-ROM drive. What I *don't* have are any real-mode card and socket services drivers. Is there any way that I can do this? Or will I have to install it on the hd first, and from there perhaps create an installation on the SyJet cartridge? I *really* would prefer not to have to dump everything off the hd, as I don't have a tape drive and have many applications on the hd that I would need to save (I've been updating and installing stuff on this laptop for almost 2 years now).

This means you don't need a special CD-ROM driver. By default, IDE/ATAPI CD-ROM drives are supported in the initial kernels you start with. The problem is which device is it, since you have 2 hard drives (your hard drives are IDE too right?).

Re: URGENT: problem of dependencies
i want to install a many machines with a debian 1.3 distrib, kernel 2.0.33 and my own selection of packages. my problem is that a packages named crisofts (some programs we have made) must be installed after apache. crisoft is in the same section than apache and the same priority. why crisofts install himself before apache ? It is a known problem of dselect that it does not always install packages in the right order. This will probably be fixed in its successor, `apt'. The solution for dselect is to rerun the install and configure steps a few times until everything is installed and configured. It is not pretty, but it works most of the time. If there are dependency problems that remain, don't hesitate to post again to the list. HTH, Eric -- E.L.

Low memory install help
I need help trying to install Debian on a system with low memory. I have made the Rescue disk and the Low memory root disk. Setup goes fine until after Copying root filesystem from floppy to /dev/hda10 This copies from drive A: and completes with done. Should it be copying from drive B: if that is where the Low memory root disk is? After it says it is done, it next says the following: VFS: Can't find a minix or minix V2 filesystem on dev 03:0a. Mount /dev/hda10 (type minix) on /mnt: wrong filesystem type, or bad superblock on /dev/hda10 sbin/swapsetup: cannot create /mnt/etc/swappartition: directory nonexistent sbin/swapsetup started OK Then I return to the menu and choose to REBOOT. It then says to wait for the boot: prompt and enter lowmemboot root=. Am I supposed to enter something after the =? I tried everything. Not entering anything gives me the VFS: Cannot open root device 00:00. If I try /dev/hda10 it comes back with Mounted root (msdos filesystem) readonly. Unable to open an initial console.

How to have GCC via nfs?
After struggling with NIS and AMD I have finally given up. Now does anybody know how can I set NFS to give gcc to a remote machine? Basically I have a machine that loads /usr/bin from another machine, but I have problem setting gcc and other programs to search for their init and .h files from /sys/usr/include/... Can Debian be used in such a set up?

some scripts cause ksh to core dump
Hi,
I'm using ksh to run some scripts that generate java code. INormally I
would run these scripts on a Solaris (thus the ksh) but it's so much
faster on my Linux box... :-)
Anyway, today I got one script which is crashing ksh !!!
~/javaSDK/generate sdk SQLViewEntity
SQLViewEntity...
Memory fault (core dumped)
Now I don't publish this script here because I can't (it's
copyrighted), because when on it's own this script does not crash ksh,
it does when invoked by the other scripts, and because I could not
isolate the cause of the crash. It involves a for loop with an empty
list of parameters, accessing ${12}. Well, maybe I could send the
scripts to someone interested in debugging this though.
But basically it seems to execute some code inside a loop where it
should not go since there is nothing to iterate on (for i in ; do ;
done). I say that because by changing what's inside the loop I get it
not to crash anymore. Now I cannot pinpoint what I have to remove. T
here are many unrelated things I can remove that fix that (but my
script no longer does what it's supposed to).
So I downloaded the source code, compiled it, and run my script with
the compiled code and... it does not crash ! So there is nothing I can
debug unfortunately. Now the ksh I get (after stripping) is different
from what I have installed on my machine, although they are both from
the same package version (maybe the compiler is slightly different).
I feel the ksh in the distribution should be fixed. But how ?
I can send the core file to anyone who asks, all gdb tells me is:
Core was generated by `ksh ./450s.MIRXxx.ulinks.java'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.
#0 0x400516c3 in ?? ()
A simple recompilation probably is not enough. I believe the core dump
is caused by writing or reading past the end of some array/string so
the bug might seem to go away with a recompilation but would come back.
I have:
- a recent hamm installation (less than 1 week old)
- ii pdksh 5.2.13-3 A public domain version of the
Korn shell
- pdksh_5.2.13.orig.tar.gz - the source code
- pdksh_5.2.13-3.diff.gz - the debian patches

Re: How do I backup and restore
Stephen, You are probably best off with tar, primarily because it is available on the rescue disk. I'm going to assume that you'll be backup up to tape over the network--this will work just fine. First, to make the backup you should boot your laptop into single-user mode. If you use LILO, at the boot prompt type in Linux single where Linux is the tag for Linux. Once you get to the shell (you'll be asked for the root password) you'll need to execute the network startup (and DHCP, if you use that) because single user mode by default doesn't start up the network. If you don't use DHCP this should be as easy as typing /etc/init.d/network start. Now you're ready to back up. You'll need to have 'rexec' permission on the machine which has the tape backup. Just type tar -cf remote-machine:remote-tape-device / If the remote machine where a Solaris box called sunbox this would probably look like: tar -cf sunbox:/dev/rmt/0m / Let this finish and now you've got your backup. On the new laptop use the rescue disk and proceed through the installation up until you've partitioned the disk and initialized the root partition. At this point you need to get the network going. You've got two choices: 1) continue the install process as usual to get through the network setup, needlessly copying the kernel and devices modules or 2) be a brave hacker and go straight to the shell prompt to get things setup by hand. I recommend option 1. Once the network is configured (and up!) then choose the option way at the bottom of the install screen for running the shell. I'm not sure where your newly-initialized root partition will be but you can type 'mount' to print them out. It'll be something weird like '/target/blahblah'. Now you just need to do tar --directory /target/blahblah -xpf remote-machine:remove-tape-device Having completed this step you'll need to complete the install step to make the Linux bootable from hard disk. This is because the tar extraction will overwrite the kernel which was initially written on your root partition thereby rendering the lilo boot info foobar. This too you can do by hand from the shell prompt but you have to give lilo some weird params to tell it to do a chroot() and to use a different device for root, etc. etc. Now you're done! Easy, huh?

After choosing Install the Base System from the menu, the screen reads, The base system is being extracted from /instmnt/stable/disks-i386/current/base1_1.3tgz ... and it just hangs there. I've tried three times and it hangs in the same place and does not progress no matter how long I wait. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Linux AGP and VIA chipsets
I am going to begin building my own system for Linux when school gets out (June 5). After looking in the Linux FAQ's and install instructions I have some questions about the (Pentium) mainboard and other components that I wish to buy. 1. Does anyone else have a motherboard baised on a VIA Apollo 3 AGP chipset with 1Mb cache RAM? Or do I need a Intel 430TX type for absolute reliability/compatability? I'm looking at Biostar, DFI, and FIC brands. 2. Does X-Windows have support for the newer AGP video cards, specificly the Trident 9750 AGP video card? 3. Will generic ethernet cards ($25 PCI 10Mbit/sec) run well enough to allow me to hook-up my Linux computer to a Win-95 (my parents) so Ican have access to the internet through it? This would be initiallyso I can install Linux directly from the internet and later forinternet access. Thanks for your help.

redirecting display of program over telnet (with DISPLAY)
Hello! I remember reading somewhere that I can change the remote DISPLAY variable so I can see the applications on my local screen. My machine name is debian (I gave it a lot of thought...) I tried changing DISPLAY to debian:0 but it didn't work. Please help, or tell me what FM to R. TIA, Liran Zvibel. --- http://www.math.tau.ac.il/~liranz/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: redirecting display of program over telnet (with DISPLAY)
Step one: telnet to box where you want data to come FROM Step two: type `export DISPLAY=machine:display` where machine is your machine name and display is your display number -- debian:0 Step three: run an X app. Step four: enjoy the fun of running apps across the network (-: All this ASSUMES that you have given the other machine the permission to talk to your X. This is not ON by default. So Step One becomes: type `xhost +`. This lets other machines talk to X. -- --- How can you see, when your mind is not open?

I tried changing DISPLAY to debian:0 but it didn't work. Remote host should be able to find your host by the name. So, in most cases it should be a fully-qualified domain name or (in case you don't have that - say because you are using PPP to connect to the internet) just a valid current IP address of your debian box. So, set DISPLAY to something like 203.234.22.33:0.0 and it should work. Good luck.

Motif - SWiM 2.1 Installation.
Hi, Our university kindly bought us Motif for Linux (SWim 2.1) from Linux System Labs (http://www.lsl.com). On the CD they send there is an installation for redhat, but nothing for debian. Generally they recommend to copy a big directory tree to /usr. As it's quite big I am a little bit concerned not to mess things up :( Any recommendations how to set it up right for Debian 2.0?

It's better to do a xhost specific.remote.host This will allow only the host that you specify to access your display. Quite a bit safer. It's still rather dangerous, as it doesn't see what account on the remote host is accessing your display. It just lets all users on that specific host display X apps on your screen. xauth is better, but I don't know how to use it. noah PGP public key available at http://lynx.dac.neu.edu/home/httpd/n/nmeyerha/mail.html or by 'finger -l [EMAIL PROTECTED]' -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBNWIEHYdCcpBjGWoFAQED/wP/fvzRMisTSZi9pQnXHHi3dD1uXvzG7eOc LKbf/XqOVPKX5qG/8kDbID2jWZIjUWqlxskk6qmYqrI+NBc+HkgZdB0ZC1Px9j5J hvQfVl/DxaIDvBrfxd8pttWkCCZIzeAD05dxoQRwSpxGyHnRByQ6tfdCAqy51od8 5E30WmKaHZw= =sLuJ -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: redirecting display of program over telnet (with DISPLAY)
Glad to help. Now that it works read xhost's man page and figure out how to allow only that machine to hit your box. You can put the command into your .xinitrc file and every time you start X that machine has access to you. Or as was mentioned previously -- look into xauth. This gives finer grain control of access. However if it is just two boxes you own or trust -- no big deal. -- --- How can you see, when your mind is not open?

Or do I need a Intel 430TX type for absolute reliability/compatability? I'm looking at Biostar, DFI, and FIC brands. All chipsets are supported I think. Some older buggy chipsets are even bugfixed in the linux kernel. 2. Does X-Windows have support for the newer AGP video cards, specificly the Trident 9750 AGP video card? Why don't you check for yourself on www.xfree86.org? If you want to use the newer xfree86 releases, you'll have to install packages from the hamm section of the debian distribution. Currently, it is frozen and I don't expect that it will be the stable release by early june yet. But that shouldn't keep you from installing hamm, it is very stable in practice. 3. Will generic ethernet cards ($25 PCI 10Mbit/sec) run well enough to allow me to hook-up my Linux computer to a Win-95 (my parents) so Ican have access to the internet through it? This would be initiallyso I can install Linux directly from the internet and later forinternet access. Mine works fine. Yours probably too. About the internet access through win95, forget that: win95 can't do routing and certainly not ip-masquerading (or did you get a subnet of real ip addresses?) Instead, put the modem in linux and make it the server on the network. Maybe it is a bit hard to set up if you are new to linux/ip-networking, in that case you could consider experimenting with a cheap modem, not disrupting your parents internet access. With some knowledge and effort, you can make your linux pc do the following (and much more): - internet router, firewall and masquerading host - web server, for your own pages and as a caching proxy server for your home network (speeds up internet browsing) - mail server, for sending (smtp) and retrieving (pop3) mail and for reading/keeping mailboxes on the server (imap/pop3) - windows print, file and logon server (make it act like an nt server for windows95) - nameserver - usenet news server - fax server Have fun, Joost -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
