(doesn't mean much to me, I'm a newbie) I tried to disable the SCSI adapter bios (with a switch on the controller) nad the installation went over (no more errors), but the os didn't see the hd (I know , is normal 'cause the bios was not initalized) ... So the problem resides in the SCSI Adapter ! How can I solve the thing I tired with the parameter aic7xxx=no_reset I tried to disable the cache I tried different port adresses for the AHA 2840 I tried the reserve=ioport, parameter so can please anyone help me with some trick or hint on how to avoid the thing .. I'm getting annoyed about this , altough I've read about 40 HOWTO's on linux installation and stuff like that . Thank you very much , I'm waiting for your precious help Tadej !

Matlab 5.2 and Hamm
Hi, I want to install matlab 5.2 on a Hamm system. I think I need to check that I have the correct libraries. I've found a list at: http://www.mathworks.com/support/solutions/v5/21466.shtml But the other thing is: is matlab compiled under libc5 or libc6? And how does this affect things? I notice for example that there is /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXt.so.6.0 and /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6.0 How does linux work out which library to use when running matlab?

beginner: mouse driver
I am trying to get the mouse running on an NEC powermate 486 sx-25 i. When installing the mouse driver a message says that it depends on misc.o From the busmouse HOWTO it seems to be the PS/2 type of mouse. Im not sure what to do. How would you install the mouse driver after the system is running, or can this only be done at the time of the initial setup. The machine has a 4x cdrom drive. I have the debian binary-i386 cdrom, but did not find any mouse driver or misc.o file. Is there a cdrom with the files I might be looking for, or where on the internet can I download onto floppies, the files to do this. I am installing from floppies and once the cdrom driver is loaded, the base system is installed from the cdrom. Im using the internet in a public library. *** Get your FREE e-mail and FREE web site at FIBERIA http://www.fiberia.com ***

gcc: Internal compiler error: program as got fatal signal 11

I hope this is not always the case because I just got this memory less than 6 months ago. I am trying to compile the kernel and suddenly make config gives the error listed in the subject line. It also fails to build with the standard hello.c program. Are there any programs to test memory real well because all memory is reported and I have no problems with Windows NT or Windows 98 on the same machine. Any help would be apprecited.

Re: Screw it! (Printer recommendations)
My 520 kept slamming against the stop and I found it was caused by a bad connection on one of the pins of the parallel cable. If it runs self-test with no problems when the cable is disconnected, that might be the situation. For a low-priced laser printer, I'd pick the HP6L (either version LSE or LXI, the difference is in the supplied Win95 software.) I've seen it for $369 at Costco.

I made the required floppies. Ran scandisk to double check the integrity. Put in a 500 meg conner hd. and formatted using fdisk. When starting the install process it goes to the boot prompt and then proceeds to the Loading root.bin then the Loading linux and uncompressing then to a bunch of stuff on the screen and to where the hard drive specifications are and then my laptop goes into sleep mode until I reboot it. (ie. the sleep light comes on and the screen goes blank) It has a vga compatible screen and full size hard drive. I tried installing on my Packard Bell Pentium 75 and had no problems with the same disks. I was going to try to do a double boot with my 6.4 gig seagate drive on my laptop but ran into this sleep problem. I thought maybe it had something to do with ezdrive so that is when I changed to the 500 meg drive and formatted it for a test base. Help! Paul Kennedy, Thank you.

cd-rom problems
I've been having troubles installing debian on my system. If I run boot.bat from \boot it starts the installation just fine, but then when it reboots for the first time to install the packages using dselect it can't find my cdrom. My cdrom is an LG Electronics/Goldstar 8160B 16X IDE on the secondary IDE channel as master and it is all alone on the cable. If I create boot diskettes using resc1440.bin, I can use my cd-rom. From chatting on #debian on irc.debian.org it seems to be a kernel problem. Is there any way of fixing this so that when i boot from my hard drive i can gain access to my cd-rom to complete the installation?

need firewall advice
Hi, I will be setting up a firewall and need to decide what type of computer to buy. It will be a debian intel pc running as a packet filtering system (restricting various ports, etc) and will have 2 100 BaseT interfaces. I plan to use 2.1.XXX kernels and ipchains. In the future it may get fancier with proxy support and more interfaces on the inside of the wall. What I need to know now is how much computer to buy. Should I get 450 MHz PII or is an older 200 MHz PPro enough? How much memory and disk should be available for possible future proxy services? Once I purchase the machine I will no doubt have more questions about ip-chains etc. thanks, Stuart

Re: Moving Files from Windows
I've just discovered a way of getting an almost unix shell on a msdos window under Windows 95. There is a port of GNU software to the DOS environment.

Summary: upgrading bo-hamm with Linuxpress official CD:s
I purchased the Official 2.0 disks from Linuxpress. Here are my experiences upgrading. Unfortunately, it was less than simple... I hope this helps others in my situation. First, the disks were in a strange(?) mixed Rock Ridge/joliet format. You have to mount them with the 'nojoliet' option, like so: # mount -t iso9660 -o nojoliet /dev/cd-rom /mountpoint I don't know if this has to do with me having patched the kernel with VFAT support: a Red Hat user with kernel 2.0.35 had no problems. Next, the script cd_autoup.sh in the /mountpoint/upgrade directory wasn't an executable. Whether this had to do with VFAT, I don't know, as my attempts to compile a new kernel resulted in an unbootable system. Luckily, I had the previous kernel on diskette... but that's another story. (Which is now history -- tip: check that you really have checked everything you need in make xconfig :-)) However, I tried running [/mountpoint/upgrade]# source cd_autoup.sh which didn't work: it complained that the file libs/libstdc++2.8_*.deb couldn't be found. I guessed that this file wasn't really neccesary(sp?), as it didn't occur in the autoup.sh script found on the net (through Debians website). So I ran that instead, after fixing a stupid typo made when studying it... After that, everything went fine. Still some wrinkles left, but I'll try finding the answers in the Archives first. Thanks to everyone helping me out! /g. P.S. Is it just me, or is the Glimpse search engine for the list Archives seriously bad?

Re: g++272 libs, revisited.
As part of a homework assignment I've written a little program to do
arithmetic with fractions and mixed numbers, and I wanted to benchmark the
speed of various algorithms for finding 'gcd,' the greatest common divisor.
Not knowing how to do the timing piece, I started playing with gettimeofday.
Here's what I came up with:
#include iomanip.h
#include sys/time.h
int main()
{
struct timeval *ThisTime;
^
There we have our elementary C programming error :)
struct timezone *huh = 0;
int i;
long int k;
i = gettimeofday(ThisTime, huh);
cout i endl;
k = ThisTime-tv_sec;
cout k;
}
You need to provide a pointer to a struct timeval, not a struct timeval
pointer that points to some random address. The gettimeofday function
is part of the standard C library. In C, there are no reference
arguments (like in C++), so there is no way a function can write an
address into a pointer argument. Therefore you need to provide the
address of an existing variable, so
struct timeval tv;
int i;
i = gettimeofday(tv, 0);
Then the function will write into the struct timeval tv.
The fact that the code doesn't crash under DJGPP is a coincidence. In
fact, if code crashes with one compiler and runs fine with the other,
chances are high you have a memory allocation error lurking. Your best
bet is then to check the code with the compiler that makes it crash!
Besides, the function you really need for timing CPU usage is `times'
(do a `man 2 times'). Moreover, there is the unix command time (or the
bash builtin version) that gives you the statistics you want. Just type
time myprg
where `myprg' is your program, and you get the statistics.
Aha sez I; I'll just whip the g++272 package onto the Debian box and be home
free. Did that, but it won't compile, complaining of many errors in the
headers, eg:
Don't do that. The 2.7.2 compiler is not nearly as good as the standard
egcs g++ that debian2.0 has.
[...]
Aha sez I; I don't have the libg++272-dev package on board - I'll just whip
that onto the Debian machine and be home free. Tried that, but I can't install
this package, just produce an dpkg error stating I already have libg++-2.8-dev
and that there's a conflict wrt libg++-dev that's provided by the latter.
Just remove the 2.7.2 g++ stuff again. You really should only need that
if you try to compile old stuff that relies on buggy `features'.
I am most curious about:
1) How to write a little timing routine for benchmarking.
As I said before, use times(). Make sure to #include time.h as well
as sys/times.h, and divide the values from times by CLK_TCK to
convert from clock tics to seconds (don't use CLOCKS_PER_SECS as is
suggested in the libc6-doc info file, this has the wrong value (by the
way, install libc6-doc and read it with `info libc', it contains
valuable information on unix programming)).
2) Why egcs can't build a working version of that piece of code.
Because there was a bug in it. In general, you should suspect bugs in
your own code, before suspecting bugs in a compiler (speaking from
experience here :).
3) How to get g++272 happily cohabiting with egcs on my Debian installation.
This is possible, but you have no need for it. It is not very
convenient to have two compilers on your system, and you don't want to
start relying on g++272, because it is far worse than the egcs g++
compiler. In general, you want to use the compiler that gives you the
most errors, it will help you remove bugs from _your_ code.
End of lesson ;)
HTH,
Eric

Dj660c-filter and stepping
Hi all,
Is there a filter for HP Deskjet 660C in the Debian Packages ?
So far I can get from magicfilter_1.2-24.deb is dj550c-filter.
I am trying to print the manual pages through my HP Deskjet
660c. A
question on how to eliminate the stepping effect when I issue the
command
man printcap /dev/lp1
From the Printing-HowTo, there is an example
#!perl
#The above line should really have the whole path to perl
#This script must be executable: chmod 755 filter
while (STDIN){chop $_; print $_\r\n;);
#You might also want to end with a form feed: print \f;
Should I leave the STDIN as is or replace it with lp1 or something else
?
Thank you.

keyboard switchers
I have to run both an NT and my Debian box for some time at least yet. I'd like to use a switchboard switcher so I only have to have one keyboard on the very crowded desk. I have one and it used to work fine for two NT systems and for Win95 systems though I gave it up when someone told me NT tests to see if the keyboard is still there from time to time behaves very badly if it's not (sounded plausible M$ daftness but I wasn't actually convinced though I was having keyboard lock ups - they continued after I ditched the switcher. Anyone know if Linux/Debian (Hamm) gets irritated if it finds no keyboard where one was a few minutes/hours before? TIA Chris Chris Evans, RD Consultant, Tavistock Portman NHS Trust
2nd question of the day: Xsecurity
I am enormously pleased to have my Email lists and WWW service now running fine on a very cheap (reconstruction job!) Debian box in my old office with SSL-telnet giving me what feels like very secure access for any work I have to do on it. I'd like to use Emacs from within X on my home machine when I do have to telnet in for work but I'm getting a refusal to give Emacs X client access to the server on the remote machine (if I've got the server/client naming the right way round). My questions are: 1) The remote machine isn't running X at the time, do I need to leave it with X running or can I assume it will launch it? (It does have a very limited VGA server up and running there.) 2) How do I set security in X so as minimise any possible holes but to give me this access? I have looked through the documentation but can't see anything pertinent. A man page suggests there is another on Xsecurity and the Xhost man page suggests _that_ isn't what I need. Please will someone point me at the right documentation? TIA Chris Chris Evans, RD Consultant, Tavistock Portman NHS Trust

Sony CDU31A CD on SB16
Hello, I installed the Debian distribution base floppies and everything went OK except for one thing. I was not able to setup the CD drive and this prevents me from going on with installing other portions from the distribution CD. My system is a 486 and has a Sony CD type CDU31A-2 connected to a Sound Blaster 16 (the type that supports 3 kinds of CD drives - Sony, Mitsumi and NEC). I know this is a very old CD drive but this is what I have at the moment for this system. I could not find in the list of drivers one that will work with my configration. I tried the one that is for a Sony CDU31A and I tried the one for SB Pro. Does Linux support this configuration? Is there a different driver? Does anybody know what is the base address for the CD port on the SB16 (there is a jumper to set the IRQ but no setup that I can see for the base address - is it the same base address as the SB itself, and only a different IRQ?) I am new to this list, can it be recieved in digest form once or twice a day, or only as separate messages? Thanks, Gilad -- -- Gilad Barak Fruitonics Ltd.

Re: keyboard switchers
I have done this multiple times with Debian (or any linux dist) with
absolutly no problems. The only problem I actually had was when it
rebooted... :) I was too lazy to go fix the bios so that it wouldn't stop
with an error if no keyboard was found.
You can even use a switch box that includes the mouse with no probs..it
just takes a few secs for it to get happy.

Several questions
Hi 1st q. - A couple of months ago I did a fresh install of hamm stable and I have been experiencing character weirdness (basically unintelligible characters) appearing at my terminal when (not all the time though) I switch from x-windows to terminal screen. The problem does not appear in the x-term though. I have recently upgraded to debian 2.0 slink (still running kernel 2.0.34 and I have put a hold on upgrading most of the packages in X - by the way, is it safe now to take the plunge in upgrading X?) but the problem persist. I have not experienced this problem when I was running debian bo on this machine. 2nd q. - I have successfully installed netscape-communicator 4.05 using alien (from RedHat 5.1 cd) but I find that I have to manually invoke netscape (ie typing /usr/bin/netscape-communicator). I am using wmaker 0.20.2-1. Question is how do I get netscape-communicator on the menu of wmaker. I have installed the menu package and the command update-menus doesn't do anything. TIA.
Re: Cyrillic input in X
Could anybody share his(her) positive (and negative too :)) experience in setting up of cyrillic input in X? In text mode I already have full cyrillic support. In X I can see texts in Russian but no one cyrillic letter input in xterm, in Netscape etc. First you should add the debian packages that contain cyrillic fonts for X (should be easy, maybe you already did it). Then edit your /etc/X11/XFConfig, find the section Files and make sure that the directorie(s) containing cyrillic fonts are in the FontPath. E.g., I have Section Files RgbPath/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic EndSection If you then restart the X server, you should be able to use the fonts from the cyrillic directory in an xterm or netscape (see the file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic/fonts.dir), e.g. $ xterm -fn -cronyx-fixed-medium-r-normal--15-140-75-75-c-90-koi8-r HTH, Eric -- E.L.

AMD K6-2 kernel compile ?
Hi group readers, I was wondering what CPU I should select for compiling the kernel. I have a AMD K6-2 300MHz. Should I compile for a regular pentium, or do the newer kernels have K6 as a selectable CPU ? The K6 should work fine on a kernel compiled as pentium Pro. This implies the level of pipelining for instruction ordering. Wowie, just a bit of time and my PC won't have any Intel, nor Microshit on it. ;-))) I don't think we should consider Intel as being a 'Bad-Guy'. Intel is now supporting Linux, they want their cpu's to run other OS's besides those from MS. Some time ago it appears that MS was blackmailing Intel not to support other software or they would shift to Motorola (or something). Now Intel is telling MS where to go. I personally think that MS OS has it's place. For many ap's MS is the right choice. BUT WE MUST HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE! (My computer is dual boot to run those apps that currently only run under Dos or Windows. And the list of such apps is getting smaller) My computer runs a K6-233. Because it cost less than an equal with an Intel cpu. But if the price were right, I'd go with the P2. (Actually I'd like to find an Alpha cheap so I can move to 64 bits.) _ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Error in reiciving mail
I have a machine with Debian Linux 2.0 and I want to use it as a mail server, so the persons in my organization can exchange electronic mail. I configure Outlook Express, in my PC with windows 95, to send and receive mail using the Debian Linux machine. I have no problems in sending mail, and the mail I send is kept in a file whose name is my account name in /var/spool/mail. When I try to read my mail I receive an error, and, in the ´messages.log´ file of the Linux machine I have the following messages: in.qpopper[1114] : Unable to open temporary maildrop ´/var/spool/pop/carmen.pop´ : no such file or directory (2) in.qpopper[1114] : -ERR System error, can´t open temporary file, do you own it ?

Re: Cyrillic input in X
[...] I probably described my problem not clearly. I already installed cyrillic fonts and they are mentioned in XF86Config file. My problem is I can't type in Russian. However I choosed Russian keyboard during XF86Setup. I see ... I only once set up reading cyrillic web pages for some Bulgarian colleagues of mine, but never configured cyrillic input. Maybe you could have a look at the xmodmap man page. I think you should be able to reassign keys with this. It is also described in the Cyrillic-HOWTO, which should be on your system in /usr/doc/HOWTO, if you installed the doc-linux package. HTH, Eric -- E.L.

Re: need firewall advice
Hi, In this case I actually want to get the full 100 BaseT bandwidth because the firewall is between our department and the rest of our site. The actual link to the internet is quite high speed (much more than T1). So the question remains I think: how much cpu power does it take to get full 100 BaseT throughput? Is is possible at all? I need the bandwidth in both directions. thanks, Stuart Quoting George Bonser ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): The bottleneck will be the PCI interface, not the CPU. A P166 would be plenty. Going much higher than this really isn't going to buy you anything. If your connection to the internet is less than a DS3, a 486 can easilly saturate it. In other words, if all you have is a T1 to the internet, just about any PC will do the job. A 100MB NIC to the internet means nothing if the internet connection is a T1 on the other side of the router. You are never going to receive more than 193K Bytes/second on a T1. If all you are doing is a firewall, Get a cheapo PC that works with Linux. Don't spend more than US$500 on it. Any more computer horsepower will not buy you a thing in throughput.

Re: Dj660c-filter and stepping

Hi all,
Is there a filter for HP Deskjet 660C in the Debian Packages ?
So far I can get from magicfilter_1.2-24.deb is dj550c-filter.
I am trying to print the manual pages through my HP Deskjet
660c. A
question on how to eliminate the stepping effect when I issue the
command
man printcap /dev/lp1
The reason you are getting the stepping is that this is going as raw data
to the printer, not through any filter. You need to pipe it through lpr,
not send it directly to /dev/lp1.
The ghostscript printer compatibility page
(http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/printer.html) indicates that the cdj550
driver (which is called by dj550c-filter) is the correct one to use with
the 660C, so you should use the dj550c-filter in magicfilter.
To print a man page, use 'man -t printcap|lpr'.
From the Printing-HowTo, there is an example
#!perl
#The above line should really have the whole path to perl
#This script must be executable: chmod 755 filter
while (STDIN){chop $_; print $_\r\n;);
#You might also want to end with a form feed: print \f;
Should I leave the STDIN as is or replace it with lp1 or something else
?
The easy way is to let magicfilter do the work for you.

Re: Debian Crash
On the same topic, I've recently had a crash in debian -- one that I've had before in Redhat 4. I've a very funky, self-built system... the crash is like this (and sometimes its like clockwork): 1. boot with xdm. Log in. 2. CtrlAltF[1...6] to switch to a different terminal. 3. Log in, do my stuff, log out. 4. CtrlAltF[7,8] to either return to X or look at the console log... it will never get to X (or the console log)... the video freezes blank and that's that. I doubt anyone could tell, just by description, what that problem is, so I'm looking for a good way to try and trace it. Trying to telnet in from a remote site is a good idea (it could mean the box is up, and something driving my screen died), I'll try. I'm fishing for other possibilities. (??? Please) :) -- quiet rob --- Just keep telling yourself you are immortal --Albert Hofmann On Wed, 11 Nov 1998, Rich Harran. wrote: My Debian system just crashed. This has never happened before, which is one of the things I like about Linux.

I went on a webpage I've visited many times before (www.tomshardware.com), and everything seized up: the mouse wouldn't move, I couldn't move between virtual desktops and I couldn't move between virtual teminals. I waited a couple of minutes, then tried cntlaltbackspace, then cntlaltdel, neither of which had any effect whatsoever, so I pressed the big red button, and restarted that way.

Up 'till now, everything seems to have been working fine (I've had random crashes under win95, but I think that's a feature of the OS). My questions: Is there a problem with my hardware (it's quite old)? Was there a problem with Linux? If not, is there now? If so, how do I fix it? What should I do to test the components in my system individually?
