I've racked my head ..(and some of yours) to fix the problem..I'm so fed up..I hope someone out there can figure out a solution.. Thanks..

Problem installing minicom
O.K..I can't seem to connect to my ISP, so everyone's telling me to use minicom. Fine. So I downloaded minicom*.deb DIRECTLY on floppy (Was I supposed to rawrite it?)..O.K so I specified 'floppy' as the access method in dselect, then the drive as A, and msdos as the drive format. Then dselect responded saying: Fist I need the disks containing the Packages file(s) for the parts of the archive you wish to be able to install. If you need to install from the non-free and contrib areas of the FTP site, you need a floppy with the Packages file for the main Debian distribution. If you don't, then you just need one Packages file Insert a disk containing a Packages file, or type q to quit. I pressed enter on inserting the floppy, and dselect told me: /var/lib/dpkg/methods/mnt/Packages does not exist /var/lib/dpkg/methods/mnt/Packages does not exist /var/lib/dpkg/methods/mnt/Packages does not exist So I copied the Packages file from ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/slink/main/binary-i386/Packages on the same floppy as minicom and I also copied wvdial I ran dselect again and encountered the same error. I even tried what you said, Brandon: dpkg -i minicom*.deb but it gave an error, since it doesn't know where to find the file. So I tried: dpkg -i /dev/fd0/minicom*.deb, and dpkg replied saying: dpkg: error processing /dev/fd0/minicom*.deb (--install): cannot access archive : not a directory Errors were encountered while processing /dev/fd0/minicom*.deb So then I tried dpkg -i /dev/fd0, but I got dpkg-deb:/dev/fd0' is not a debian format archive dpkg: error processing /dev/fd0 (--install): subprocess dpkg-deb--control returned error exit status 2 Errors were encountered while processing /dev/fd0 Could someone tell me how to install minicom and/or wvdial from floppy? -Original Message- From: Brandon Mitchell [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Michelle Coelho [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thursday, January 28, 1999 11:53 PM Subject: Re: Fw: Help!!!

Hi Craig, That is the default printcap settings when you first install lpr or lprng. You have to run magicfilterconfig--force to replace that printcap which is mainly for dot matrix printers not for ink jets.

Note what one of my area users' group members has to say about salespeople and administrators in his company in regards to Linux. Now those of you on the Debian-user list know why I posed the question about how much network traffic these systems will handle. I'm not interested in commercializing the system at all (which would, in fact, be a disaster) but rather enriching developers, admins. and consultants who love Linux. Linux specialists are worth something in the labor market and _can_ be sold at a premium (even if the OS shouldn't be) just as the marketing people can be sold on Linux, given the right packaging and presentations. I am also trying to learn more about the differences between FreeBSD and Linux with respect to network traffic loads. ...time to confront those rumors?

Kirk, may I forward this to the Debian Linux list (esp. for the feedback received about salespeople and administrators)? I will forward the load stats. gathered, to the CLUE group. You sure can. In fact you can post this one too, so I can expand the information given a bit more. The company I mentioned is a leading VAR in Colorado (they resell Microsoft, Compaq, HP solutions). I'd like to plug them, but I haven't been given permission to, so I'll take the safe route. They employee about 400 people. Their corporate platforms initially consisted of Windows 3.1 desktops connected to Novell file and print servers. They moved from Novell to NT, and it quickly became apparant that Windows 95 was not a business desktop, so they tried Citrix Winframe, with Winterm's at the desktop. To be fair, Winframe did pretty well, but anytime there was a problem (and with an NT server, there's plenty to be had!), it was hideous. Around the same time, their Exchange server crashed, and after two days of troubleshooting the problem with Microsoft, Microsoft finally said they couldn't fix the problem. They were going to lose all of their email, including email on the backup tapes. The company had no email platform, and it would take days to get it set back up again. The decision was made to setup a Linux email server, which was up and running in a matter of hours. They haven't given a second look at Exchange since. Likewise, the Winframe solution has been nothing but trouble, and a test group of people has been set up on Linux workstations. The CFO has been in the test group for some time, and loves it. I just found out today that they added the President/CEO to this group. No word on his reaction, but the fact that they've added him as a Linux user gives you an idea of how confident the IS staff is in Linux. I will say that not everyone in the company is enamoured with Linux. There are still those among the salespeople and administrators that resist change, but not for what I would consider insurmountable reasons. The biggest objection is that StarOffice doesn't have *all* the features of MS Office. Fair enough, but I expect the objections are more cosmetic. It will take time for Linux to be accepted, and this company is only a microcosm of the bigger picture. Upcoming plans include implementing corporate databases on Postgres, although Oracle (possibly on Linux, although that's admittedly a remote chance) is in the running as well. Also, some Linux installs have been done for their customers, although this hasn't really taken off yet. The long and short of it is, there's at least one company that's taking Linux seriously as a server *and* desktop solution. And they're not doing it to stick it to Microsoft, but because it just works. Admittedly they're testing the waters carefully, but I think Linux is there to stay.

Re: How to read Texinfo file format
First off, thanks to those who replied for the help! As advised, tried 'makeinfo', which gave a list of errors, things about missing nodes and unknown commands. If it helps, here's a 30 or so lines of the source file, followed by some of the error messages, which... snip \input texinfo @c% -*-texinfo-*- @c% leave this in TeX comment format in case @c% \magnification=833 ever moves back here from texinfo.tex @c Copyright notice below @c @c $Id: gnuproject.texi,v 1.15 1998/11/17 17:50:29 bjepson Exp rms $ @c @c keep this as first comment block in file. @c keep this as second comment block in file: @c %**start of header @setfilename draft.info @settitle The GNU Project @setchapternewpage off @c %**end of header @ifclear text @direntry * The GNU Project: (gnu). @end direntry @end ifclear @ifinfo @node Top, What Is GNU, (dir), (dir) snip another-snip gnuproject.texi:18: Unknown command `direntry'. gnuproject.texi:21: Bad argument to `end', `direntry', using `ifclear'. gnuproject.texi:21: Unmatched [EMAIL PROTECTED]'. gnuproject.texi:23: Unknown command `ifinfo'. gnuproject.texi:25: Unknown command `top'. gnuproject.texi:26: Unmatched [EMAIL PROTECTED]'. gnuproject.texi:27: Unknown command `c' ... and so on, snip 'makeinfo' finishes up with makeinfo: Removing output file `/home/alfie/draft.info' due to errors; use --force to preserve.

To view these files I tried commands like 'info foo', and looking at them using 'less'. 'info' didn't like any of them. 'less' didn't mind of course, but the results weren't any nicer than the source code, though the makeinfo output files did look a little different from the original. My guess would be that either the file is incomplete or corrupt, or I'm using the wrong tools. More ideas on how to view this file, or why makeinfo doesn't compile it?
Re: Help me to install Debian 2.0
It seems that you are getting through the installation of the base system OK - is that right ? If so, then IIRC there is no need to manually mount the CD ROM - you should be sent straight to the slick pick section which asks what sort of system you want and from there into dselect. Once in dselect, choose access method CD ROM and you will be asked the device name - this will be /dev/hdx where x is a letter telling linux what controller your CD lives on. eg. The CD ROM on my main Debian box is /dev/hdb. The CD ROM is mounted by dselect automatically and dselect searches for the packages files itself so there shouldn't be too many more problems - at this stage anyway :) Ivan.

having just one problem with 2.2.1
I compiled 2.2.1 and have only found one problem on my system. I changed my working printcap to identify lp0 as the printer (was lp1 under 2.1), and dmesg reports that the parralel port is detected at boot. However, I get permission errors when I try to print. For example, $ cat testfile lpr returns ^Ano connect permissions. Trying to print from Netscape mail client returns the error no connect permissions, job 'cfA224jedi' transfer to [EMAIL PROTECTED] failed. So I made lp0 world writable and tried again (maybe wrong approach, but I am new at this). Now I get nothing. So I su root and do a $ lpc status lp0 and get ^Ano connect permissions. Any suggestions would be appreciated. By the way, so far printing is the only problem I have had with 2.2.1 under slink. Some said they had problems with ppp under 2.2.0, but mine is working fine. Also, support for my sound-card (Opti/MAD16) is much improved over 2.1.x. -Ben

Other than all the HDD partitioning mess I'll have to deal with, first things first: CheapBytes (www.cheapbytes.com) offers Debian OFFICIAL 2.0 R1 Binary CD-ROM for two bucks.

If a queue is being used as a bounce queue, then the lp printcap entry must be set to the name of the printer on the server, and the bq entry must be the destination after filtering. This will cause all jobs to be sent to the bounce queue, rather than directly to the final destination.For example, pr:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Though after taking a break from it and reading the responces to my post, I *think* I understand.

Ok, read it. *AND* I even understand. However, being a purist, I'd rather not be editing the stock filters in /etc/magicfilter. As soon as someone else does some administration or we change printers it's going to be more of a hassle than I want. I'd *really* like to solve this in /etc/printcap - people (including me a year from now) will look there first...not to mention it should work from there using the bq= statement.

Re: kernel 2.2.0
FWIW, I've compiled 2.2.1 without problems and it seems to be running perfectly under hamm on both a desktop Cyrix DX486/100 and a laptop Toshiba 4000CDT. The only change I had to make, following on another message in this list, was to change my /etc/printcap to use /dev/lp0 instead of /dev/lp1. Nothing seems to be broken (so far!), but I don't use sound. I must say I'm impressed!

setserial question

When I connect, I get a message saying: Use of setserial/setrocket to get SPD_* flags is deprecated This seems to be said more in sorrow than in anger, since the process then goes off correctly.

Newbie prob; Win98-FTP-Linux keyboard lockup.
This problem of mine must be an embarrassingly simple one, but right now I am standing on flat ground looking up at the learning curve. Problem summary: I have a Windows 98 computer attached via Ethernet to a Pentium-based Linux computer. When I attempt to invoke an FTP client or TELNET client on the Windows 98 side, those clients indicate that a connection to the Linux computer is established, but they don't seem to be able to successfully transfer ASCII data back and forth -- I do not get the messages that I expect from the server, nor does keyboard input echo at all. I need help resolving this. Problem detail: Two computers. One is running Windows 98 [Version 4.10.1998]. The second is a Pentium/166 running Debian Linux. I loaded it yesterday from the base2_0.tgz file from the ftp.debian.org/.../stable/ directory three days ago. I don't how to check the version, but I believe it is 2.0.34. The remainder of the Debian package was loaded from a CD-ROM (purchased from Linux Central) using 'dselect'. That disk appears to have been cut in July of 1998. The two machines are connected by an end-to-end Ethernet cable, with no other connections. Each machine's NIC is a 3COM 3C509 Etherlink III. The network interface is running. Not only does 'ping' work properly, but I can successfully browse HTML content on the Linux machine (which is running squid and Apache) from the Windows 98 machine. The FTP server and the TELNET servers are running on the Linux machine; I can successfully access them from the keyboard on the Linux machine. When I start an FTP client from the Windows machine (with the console command 'ftp ip-address') I get an indication from FTP that I am Connected to ip-address Simultaneously, the disk drive light on the Linux machine blips. The exact same thing happens if I enter the command 'telnet ip-address'. But in both cases, the keyboard on the Microsoft side then locks up. I get the characteristic ticking sounds from the computer's speaker that means that the keystrokes are being ignored. The program isn't deadlocked; it responds to Ctrl+C to kill it. Microsoft's GUI telnet client responds to mouse clicks and whatnot -- it's just that the keyboard input apparently isn't being sent to the server, nor are the ASCII messages that I would expect from the server when the connection gets created appearing on the Microsoft side. After about 30 seconds, Microsoft's FTP program announces Connection closed by remote host. It's not something obviously wrong with Microsoft's programs; I just used that same machine and the same command to access ftp.debian.org (via dial-up networking through Compuserve) without any problem. So -- confronted with a whole computational universe of things that might be wrong, and an almost empty toolbox, plus the conviction that I can't possibly be the first person in the world to have run up against this problem, I ask for help: What might be causing this partial connection situation, and how do I fix it? Thanks very much.

Hardware Issue (?): BT958 and SCSI-II Scanner ...?
This is slightly off-topic, as I suspect the problem is entirely in hardware, but there's a lot of good knowledge on this list, so: I have a BusLogic (now Mylex) BT958 that works very well. I've got a Zip and two ultra SCSI-II drives on the internal 50-pin cable. They work great. Recently I've acquired a UMAX Astra 1200S (DB25- SCSI-II) that I'd like to use with SANE, through the BusLogic host. I bought a cable that will attach to the scanner (DB25) and the host (72-pin SCSI-III UW). The scanner is the only external device. When the hard drives are not on the internal bus, *or* when they are set to Asynchronous in the AutoSCSI firmware, the bus will scan and detect the scanner fine. The hard drives will be detected too, but they don't actually work when set to Asynchronous. When the hard drives are connected and set to Sync 10mb/s as they should be, a bus scan stops (locks up) when it reaches the SCSI ID of one of the hard drives. Of course, if the scanner is not connected at all everything is fine. Interestingly, if the scanner is not connected to the other end of the new external cable, but the cable *is* connected to the external BusLogic port, the same problems arise that I described in the last paragraph. So: Is the cable bad? Is it impossible to run a DB25 SCSI-II device on a 68-pin SCSI-III f/w port? *Or* should it be possible to configure the BusLogic kernel driver to allow my hard drives to be accessed in Asynchronous mode? Any thoughts?

Help!! Getting LILO working?
I've got Win98 set up on my first physical drive (about 760 megs) and Linux swap drive as the second logical drive (60 megs) on it also. On the second phyical drive (6.1 gig) I've got the first partition as fat32 (2 gig), then Linux boot (about 100meg), and Linux everything else takes up the rest. When installing Debian and it comes to LILO I'm not given any choise as to where I want to put it. I just get a message that LILO on the second drive most likely won't work, then I'm asked if I want to install it anyway. I say yes, but it dosn't work. The computer starts up at windows as if there was nothing else there. Any ideas on how to get LILO to work with this configuration? Thanks in advance. Tim

Re: No connect permission for the lp printer command (It's workings again!)
Yes, DEFAULT REJECT was there for a good reason. With DEFAULT ACCEPT, any arbitrary person from any arbitrary host can print to your printer. I have solved this problem by keeping DEFAULT ACCEPT at the bottom, but inserting REJECT SERVICE=XRPQ NOT SERVER above the REJECT SERVICE=CSU line (it's very important you insert it in the right spot). I believe this is fairly secure and it allows for local users printing. Eric. On Sat, Jan 30, 1999 at 07:34:34PM +0300, Heikki Vatiainen wrote: Ok, good to hear it works again.

A very good instinct. Of course, you could always document what you do in the printcap file as comments. My son maintains a Debian system and emails a account on another machine (with file diffs and maybe dpkg -l output) when he makes changes. The mail then becomes a change history and a cookbook for rebuilding the system should disaster (e.g. hard drive crash) strike. I haven't tried bq= and realized this weakness in my response to you.

I am afraid I can't help you with the 2nd question, maybe ~/.vimrc is the place to put your defaults? HTH, damir

bplay doesn't play whole file (but works for higher speeds)
Is anyone aware of the cause of or solution for this problem? bplay frequently plays only part of a sound file. On one particular sound file, a 8000Hz sample, bplay played the whole sample if I specified a playback rate higher than 8000Hz. Daniel

Re: Mutt vim
Thus spake Dave Swegen ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): 1) How do I go about assigning different settings for vim, ie having textwidth when composing mail with mutt, but not when coding? Ok, in your ~/.muttrc or /etc/Muttrc or /usr/local/etc/Muttrc (for systemwide settings) do this: set editor=vim -c 'set tw=78' -c ':0;/^Reply-To: ' change the line if you have a set editor, or add it if don't... That'll startup vim with wrapping at col 78 and position the cursor at Reply-To:, which is the last line of the header. 2) Where do I change the syntax-highlighting colours in such a way that they won't be affected by the next upgrade to vim (the default colours for some apps is a bit dodgy - dark blue on black for instance)? All that is completely definable in /etc/vimrc, so a bit of experimentation to see what colour combinations is all that is needed. ...can be tricky to find out the perfect one the first time though. -- .oO,.. oneiros ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ..,Oo. ... and the `fortune -s` for this e-mail is ...

FW: ISP Startup Setup - Help Wanted
Hello! I figures I post this help information to the user list due to huge volume of emails passing though there. Okay... I going to need assistance on few things. I am setting up 3 servers but I would appreicate some helpful guides and information to make the setup run properly and make the maintainance easier. Here is the setup that I am going to do and need to make it workable with Debian Slink 2.1 Server: Web/Email Server DNS/MUD/Shell Server General-Backup-FTP What is the best and perferred method to setup this 3 servers to make it look like it is one complete server from the user standpoint but it is in reality three servers. Reason is that we might be adding more servers as Web Servers and we like to set this up so we can split the tasks among three to make efficent usage of the system. Web/Email Server - It will be the webhosting for virtual hosts and for webpages by our customers which they can access by ftp and uploading it into their directory. DNS/MUD/Shell Server - We also like to offer the customers the shell accounts as well by telnet and we like to move it over to the one central computer so it can have better access to the processor without the Web, FTP and Email to bog it down. It will also house the MUD servers as well. General-Backup-FTP - It will house the FTP area for downloads, uploads and other tasks and also to do the daily maintaniance of daily backups from the Web/Email and Shell Accounts. So...what is the best configuration and what do we need to do to make the system work smoothly over the fractional T3 line since we will be adding more webservers as time goes by but that can be discussed later. All tips, information, and such is welcomed and needed.

page breaks in text printing (for guitar tab)
How do I force a page break in text files for printing with linux? I want to print some guitar tab, and it gets ruined if half is on one page, and the other half comes out on the next page. It's entirely too much trouble (not to mention overkill) to format tab in say LaTeX. Anyone have any ideas on this? Also, how do I move the margins over to the right a bit? I use a three hole punch on my tab to keep it in a binder and if the text is too far left, the holes kinda ruin it.

Big Problem with Debian-Installing...
Helleo, sorry but I don't understand the user-list-system. Where must I send a mail to, so that I get an answer ? Please tell me how the system works. But I also have another problem with my Debian-Installation. I hope I will get an answer on my question without being in the list now. I bought the New Debian Kernel 2.0 on 2 CD's. The Install-program is written by Ezanard. I haven't found some information about my problem on the Debian.org - page. So now there comes my problem : I have an old CD-ROM , a Mitsumi FX001D with an interface card. I made two bootdisks, one with the resc1440.bin and the second with the drv1440.bin, but when the install-program asks me from which drive I want to install and I give the answer 'CD-ROM' and put in the driver-disk then the install-program resets and I have the startscreen before me. I'am sure that the CD-ROM is right-connected because I also have WIN 95 on my PC which works very well with the drive. I also made new boot-disks but the effect is the same. Always when I want to install the Operating System Kernel it restarts the Install-Program after reading the driver-disk. Sorry for repeating my problem but I don't know if I gave enough information to you. I hope you can help me and if not perhaps you know somebody (newsgroup etc.) who can help me !!! Thanxs Alexander

It was my first printing try after upgrading from slink to potato so I was a bit puzzled about it.

More about lprng and /etc/lpd.perms
The discussion below is about lprng 3.5.2-1.2. I'm using potato but the same version seems to be in slink too. I have not yet filed the bug report I promised, so any suggestions to make a more intelligent bug report are welcome. Otherwise I'll send in what I have here withing the next 24 hours. I did some more research about lprng and /etc/lpd.perms. I found two ways to enable printing from local host. The first one takes 'disable all, enable what needed' approach and the other one is 'enable all, disable what not needed'. The both patches include one common restriction (ACCEPT SERVICE=S SERVER) which I found when checking out existing bug reports against lprng. In the first patch, which keeps DEFAULT REJECT, I had to add both localhost and the fully qualified domain name to get things working. I found this out by running lpd with debuggin on. It looks like lpd likes to do a lot of DNS lookups. Adding the both names did the trick. --- lpd.perms.orig Sat Jan 30 21:11:29 1999 +++ lpd.perms Sat Jan 30 22:29:41 1999 @@ -163,8 +163,8 @@ ## # allow root on server to control jobs ACCEPT SERVICE=C SERVER REMOTEUSER=root -# allow anybody to get status -ACCEPT SERVICE=S +# allow anybody on server to get status +ACCEPT SERVICE=S SERVER # reject all others, including lpc commands permitted by user_lpc REJECT SERVICE=CSU # @@ -173,7 +173,9 @@ # allow root on server to remove a job ACCEPT SERVICE=M SERVER REMOTEUSER=root REJECT SERVICE=M -# all other operations denied +# all other operations allowed from local host, none from a remote host +ACCEPT SERVICE=XPRQ REMOTEHOST=localhost +ACCEPT SERVICE=XPRQ REMOTEHOST=rae.ton.tut.fi DEFAULT REJECT # all other operations allowed # DEFAULT ACCEPT The second patch does what [EMAIL PROTECTED] suggested and rejects everyone but localhost. --- lpd.perms.orig Sat Jan 30 21:11:29 1999 +++ lpd.perms Sat Jan 30 22:37:22 1999 @@ -163,8 +163,8 @@ ## # allow root on server to control jobs ACCEPT SERVICE=C SERVER REMOTEUSER=root -# allow anybody to get status -ACCEPT SERVICE=S +# allow anybody on server to get status +ACCEPT SERVICE=S SERVER # reject all others, including lpc commands permitted by user_lpc REJECT SERVICE=CSU # @@ -174,7 +174,9 @@ ACCEPT SERVICE=M SERVER REMOTEUSER=root REJECT SERVICE=M # all other operations denied -DEFAULT REJECT +# DEFAULT REJECT +# reject request not from local host +REJECT SERVICE=XRPQ NOT SERVER # all other operations allowed -# DEFAULT ACCEPT +DEFAULT ACCEPT // Heikki -- Heikki Vatiainen * [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tampere University of Technology * Tampere, Finland
