Re: stupidity and disaster
Hi, If your new bash is in /usr/local that's likely the problem. You need a /bin/sh at boot time. /usr/ won't be mounted until later if it's on a separate partition. All binaries needed to boot have to be in /bin. Your filesystem is probably fine, just put a bash back in /bin and things will likely work after an fsck. If you're feeling ambitious and can risk the change go ahead and upgrade to 2.0 and that will fix everything too.

Re: stupidity and disaster
My suggestion: Get a rescue disk (like the one you used to originally install debian). If you dont have one handy, use another computer to download an image from somewhere like www.debian.org and make one, following the instructions. Boot up with the rescue disk. Dont activate a swap, partition or format anything. (he he, but you prolly know that). Look for the option that lets you mount a partition. Mount the partition that bash lives on and undo what you did. Remove the rescue disk and reboot. I dont know why what you did did not work, but I am sure we will slap our foreheads and say, no wonder when one of the gurus explains it to us.

Ethernet Question
Hi Everyone, I've managed to get tcp/ip networking up and running on my Debian machine. I have my 3com 3x509 configured to ip address 192.168.0.1, I have one other machine on my local network(for now) and it is ip 192.168.0.2. How can I get my debian machine to see(ping) the other machine? My hub shows activity but ping just sits there like it is receiving nothing. Does this have something to do with the routing table? I've been studying a little and the more I read about the routing tables the more confused I get. Could someone clear my up on this?

Re: sound recording under linux
Hi. I do a lot of this kind of thing, so let me tell you what my setup is. I have two boxes that I use to make my music with. One is an old 486-66 msdos- debian dualbooter, and the other is a K6-166 linux box. They are both on ethernet, and I have the MS SMB client for the dos side of the dos box (named psychosis). I use Impulse Tracker 2.14p3 on the dos side of psychosis to make my music, (IT is a free mod-type tracker, www.noisemusic.org/it/) save that, reboot into linux, from which I pull the .it file off psychosis onto phaktory, the K6 box. I then add any effects with CERES SoundStudio (a commecrial multi- track wave editor for Linux. A demo version is available on sunsite.), save it to a .wav, and burn CDs with my HP CD-RW drive. I would look at SoundStudio for your multitrack recording needs. I think there are also a few other linux multitrack recorders floating around. Check the apps/sound/editors subdirectory on sunsite... As far as the drum machine goes, I don't know of any decent software drum machines for Linux, but if you get IT working under DOSEMU or something, that is a pretty good solution. I think you can get the sound working under dosemu with recent versions, but if not, you can create your drum loops silently and then mess with them in SoundStudio. For more information about my music (including some mp3 clips) point yourself at http://minion.ml.org.

I've got a cheap hack of a sound studio on my pc -- only under windows now, though, and I'd rather do this under linux. I do multi-track guitar recording in the following way: record a few licks with the microphone next to my amp. I have the output jack on my soundcard split in two -- one cable going to my speakers, and one going right back in the input jack of my soundcard. Then I can play the first track I recorded, and play another on my guitar while recording -- thus the two tracks are automatically mixed. Granted this is no professional studio, but it does the trick, and fairly well. The requirements, though, are that I need a full duplex driver for my Sound Blaster AWE 32 pnp ISA sound card. This driver is free for Windows. I can purchase a full duplex driver for linux from a company (I forget their name). Anyway, before I spend on the full duplex driver, does anyone know of some good software that I can use -- I need a midi drum programmer, some decent recording software, and some mixing software (that can merge two sound files). I've got most of this for free under Windows, so I'd like to keep it free for Linux. (BTW, the midi drum machine is called The Wizard -- it's pretty sharp, I'd like something similar for linux).

What netmasks should I use on the fw? Please help, I'm getting more and more confused the more I read about this. yes, this is possible, but you will have to make a few small changes to the cisco. you'll have to change the netmask on it's ethernet interface to a /25, and you'll have to route the second /25 via the firewall's eth0 interface. also, you'd be better off assigning 192.12.120.128/25 to the other company, and 192.12.120.0/25 to your company. this is because the cisco is .254, thus is in the .128/25 subnet. i'd suggest: external (unfirewalled) net: network: 192.12.120.128 netmask: 255.255.255.128 broadcast: 192.12.120.255 cisco: 192.12.120.254 firewall eth0: 192.12.120.253 other hosts: 192.12.120.129 - 192.12.120.252 internal (firewalled) net: network: 192.12.120.0 netmask: 255.255.255.128 broadcast: 192.12.120.127 firewall eth1: 192.12.120.1 other hosts: 192.12.120.2 - 192.12.120.126 i note that you ask What netmasks should I use on the fw?. That's not exactly the right questionthe netmask you use must be used on all hosts on the network. this will mean reconfiguring every host, router, ethernet printer, and hub (if your hubs have ip addresses for snmp monitoring). if you don't change the netmask on all the hosts/devices then they will have no way of knowing that the net is subnetted. they will expect to find the full 192.12.120.0/24 on the local ethernet, so they won't route packets to hosts in the other subnet via the cisco, they'll just try to send it directly - which won't work. btw, here's a useful reference for you: http://ipprimer.2ndlevel.net/ it's a good summary/intro to IP networks. and another: http://www.internetnorth.com.au/keith/networking/subnet1.html a set of tables which can be very useful for subnetting. you can find more by going to altavista or somewhere and searching for CIDR and subnet. craig -- craig sanders -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null

Jim, I might be wrong, but I seem to recall reading somewhere that the shell the system uses to boot up must be physically present in /bin and not symlinked to somewhere else like /usr/local/bin. The default setup is to have /bin/sh symlinked to /bin/bash. This is supposed to be a security precaution to prevent some random luser from replacing the default shell.

Re: Ethernet Question
Hi Everyone,
I've managed to get tcp/ip networking up and running on my Debian machine.
I have my 3com 3x509 configured to ip address 192.168.0.1, I have one other
machine on my local network(for now) and it is ip 192.168.0.2.
How can I get my debian machine to see(ping) the other machine?
My hub shows activity but ping just sits there like it is receiving nothing.
Does this have something to do with the routing table? I've been studying a
little and the more I read about the routing tables the more confused I get.
You could help us help you by showing what your routing tables currently
look like. But on the other hand, I can probably help you by showing
what my routing tables look like:
$ /sbin/route -n

Re: hda1 problem
Hello: I had a nicely working system with hda1 1 gig / hda2 48M swap hda3 1 gig formatted space as /extra hda4 extended hda52 gigs formatted space unmounted The root partition was getting used up so I tried to put /usr on hda3 using 'cp -dpRv * /extra' and it appears it went successfully. Note that that command also copyies everything that used to be in /extra to /extra/extra -- so your new /extra may be fuller than your original / (hda1). I changed the original /usr to /usr1 and then /extra to /usr. Now I have two problems: 1. xdm won't let me log in as anything but root 2. hda1 partition now shows 0 MB available and 100 percent usage. du shows the same amount of space being used in /usr and the copied partition. Every ext2 partition has some extra space reserved for root. So, if nobody but root can login, that usually meens the partition really _is_ full, except for that little (5% usually, configurable) bit of space reserved for root. Changing back to the original /usr doesn't solve either problem. You didn't tell us how much space was used on the original / partition. The way I guess now, is that both partitions were just about to be completely full anyway, and by some coincidence the moment when both (or rather the original /, and thus also /extra, due to the copy command) filled up coincided with the moment when you decided to start doing something about those space-problems, i.e. all the actions you describe above. Sure could use a pointer or two while I look for my own solution that could make the problem much worse. Well, you could try to free up some space :). -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null

I changed the original /usr to /usr1 and then /extra to /usr. Now I have two problems: A slightly more clear answer about 'cp' copying /extra into the new /extra/extra. Shouldn't that have been 'cp -dpRv /usr/* /extra'?? If you really did use just 'cp * /extra' then you should know that mounted filesystems show up under '/' --- it copied everything in '/boot, /home, /whatever' until it reached '/extra'. Then it copied it all over again in '/extra/extra'. Since both were 1gig, I'll bet the new /sur (old /extra) really IS full. PLUS! -- your new /usr insn't JUST /usr. it's really all of '/', which isn't what you wanted. I'd suggest getting logged in as root, umount the new /usr and re-mount it as /extra, and rename /usr1 back to /usr. Then try again. First cd /extra and 'rm -rf' or umount it and mkext2fs /dev/hda3 (safer than rm -rf if you're sure you want a whole partition empty -- no way for a link to send you back into the '/' filesystem). Then mount it and use 'cp -dpRv /usr/* /extra' EVEN IF YOU ARE SITTING IN '/usr' WHEN YOU START THE COPY! Then again try renaming /usr to /usr1 and umount /extra -- mount /dev/hda3 /usr 1. xdm won't let me log in as anything but root 2. hda1 partition now shows 0 MB available and 100 percent usage. du shows the same amount of space being used in /usr and the copied partition. As the other responder said, you probably DID fill up the new /usr with the 'cp' command, and your first drive hit its limit at about the same time. You may have to operate as root until you are certain everything (/usr) is in the right place, then delete the contents of '/usr1' to get back to normal. You might also want to temporarily kill xdm and do all of this file system swapping from the command line with all but absolutely necessary processes killed to be sure no files are being accessed when you do the actual name change from /usr to /usr1. There will be a period with no /usr at all while you mount /dev/hda3. Gerald V. Livingston II '69 Bug -- AirBall -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null

Subject: Debian 2.0. Bind 8 works but causes dials for local domain names
I have a working debian 2.0 installation providing Internet connectivity
for a small network. I have BIND 8 working as a local DNS and am able to
resolve names forwards and backwards for local host and for my local
domain (.local). Invalid names and addresses within the local network
are properly declared as unknown and there is no Internet DNS lookup.
Requests for Internet addresses and names outside my domain are looked
up on Internet DNS servers and correctly returned. Reverse lookups for
addresses on my local domain are properly resolved and no Internet
lookup is performed. Forward local dns lookups are returned correctly
but there is a dns lookup on the internet that triggers a dialup, and
any subsequent dns lookups also trigger internet lookups.
If I prevent the internet dial then the dns lookups are still correctly
returned. I don't know what the internet traffice is but it is from my
machine on a non privilaged port (1024) to a root dns server port 53.
Can anyone help me to stop this unnecessary Internet traffic?, and the
unwanted dials.

Web access woes
Hi all ! Well, I thought I was really happy but I didn't tell my computer that the ISP I use uses a proxy server ( did I have the option ? ) The result of this is that I can't access the web from my Linux partition. I have downloaded Netscape (4.05) and installed using the Netscape installer but I get an error when I try to enter the proxy server details. The Debian supplied browsers can't get past the ISP firewall either. I assume there is a config. file (or more) somewhere that needs to be edited or a setup programme to run ... can anyone help with this.

Newbie Questions...
Hi All, I posted a qurstion about smail configuration few days ago...and the responses really helped me. Now I am able to send mails from my machine (However, I can not understand the threads...:-)).. I got two new questions: 1. What do I need to do POP messages off the ISP mail server? 2. Once I start X, and switch to another console using ctrl + alt +.., how do I get back the X windows. Switching back doesn't work.. I usually start X as root or as Xdm. However, if I want to run say netscape in another virtual terminal, I get the message 'Cannot open display' Any and all help will be appreciated Thanks, Vaidhy -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null

Re: dselect w/ two ftp sites?
Thanks! That was exactly what I wanted. It was a little hard to use though. The configuration is crude, not user friendly at all, and a different style than the ftp method, but I was able to manage (after many tries). Specifically, the non-US distribution was tricky. -- Apparently that implementation hasn't been added yet.

Re: Help with Debian GNU/Linux (fwd)
Hello Marcus, hello Chris! On Sun, Jul 12, 1998 at 06:34:59AM -0700, Marcus Johnson wrote: Hello Chris, The Debian loader leaves a lot to the user to set up. If your a trained user then it is no problem. But for you it will be too hard to fix. I suggest you load Red Hat version 5.1 and start there. Don't believe him, the fix is as easy as installing an additional package. This is in Debian as easy as it is in Debian. The kernel is written in C++ and it is an on-going effort. You can get the source code easy, but I suggest you learn to use C and then C++ before you start working on the kernel. The kernel is written in C (mostly) and Assembler (few parts). There is no C++ used in the kernel. You don't need to know anything about C++ to write kernel driver. You should learn C++ directly, though. :) It'll give you C and Java for free.

This package uses the groff suit of programs to format and display the manual pages. ... all is okay (the version may differ, etc, but you get the idea). If it tells you something like this: flora:~# dpkg -s man-db Package: man-db Status: purge ok not-installed Priority: standard Section: text ... then you are missing it. Get the man-db *.deb package from the ftp site and run dpkg -i man-db...deb (with the actual file name instead man-db...deb) to fix it. OR run dselect, configure it and select the man-db package and run the install option. (If you choose to pick from ftp, you may also need the groff package). Could someone please tell me what directory man is in so I can put it in my path? It is in /usr/bin and should already be in your path. Could this be a problem with Debian, and if it is what distribution of Linux is a good one to get? Debian is a fine distribution you will soon learn why :) And are there any books that I really should get in addition to Running Linux? You should get the (unofficial) debian book at www.linux-press.com. Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you can't find it. Last question, I'm interested in learning to program Linux drivers, and maybe even debuging the kernal. What language are these thing coded in, or what language would I have to learn if I want to do these things? Thanks a lot. See above. C. It isn't too hard, but a tough experience. Writing, compiling, starting, reboot cycle and such. And it is certainly nearly impossible to do it *right* (only few people are able... Alan Cox, Linus himself, etc. Other people could do it right, but are not programming linx kernel, tough).

Adding non packages to menu?
Can someone explain how, if at all possible, one adds non-packages to the debian menu? I tried making a file 'soffice' in /usr/lib/menu like so: ?package():needs=x11 command=soffice section=Apps/Editors title=StarOffice and then running update-menus, but it didn't appear on the menu. I expect because it wont work without a package name, but I don't know what to put for things that are non-packages like StarOffice4, blender, mpeg tv etc. Any ideas?
