System locks on boot!
My system has been running Debian 2.0 fine for several weeks now, but now locks up on boot. It first happened when I was in X and was changing routing, IP addresses etc. The machine locked up solid and I had to power reset it. When it rebooted, it fixed several errors on the drive. It locked up after a few 'cannot find module net_phf5' or something like that, again only a hard reset did anything. I can boot fine from the rescue cd, using: rescue root=/dev/sda1 It starts up and works OK. The hard drive boots a 2.2 kernel, which I need to get X to work, as i use the framebuffer device. How is the simplest way to fix it?
Python Development Files?
Hello guys.
Now I ran into a little problem which is a real bummer. Is there
supposed to be an development package for python for debian for I sure cannot
find it anywhere.
Reason I am asking is that I am installing Gnome 1.0 version from
tarballs since no deb are made yetbut when I ran the configure for
gnome-python-1.0.0, it returns this errors. So I hope someone can answer that
one since that one bummed me out. I usually find the answers myself and such
but this one is beyond me.. and frankly... I not sure if I want to grab a new
tarball of python to do what what I need to make this installation work when I
already installed python in it in the first place from Slink distrib.
Here is what it says as I ran it.
bash-2.01# ./configure --prefix=/usr
loading cache ./config.cache
checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes
checking for working aclocal... found
checking for working autoconf... found
checking for working automake... found
checking for working autoheader... found
checking for working makeinfo... missing
checking for python... python
checking where .py files should go... /usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages
checking where python extensions should go... /usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages
checking for python headers... found
checking definitions from Python makefile... configure: error: [Couldn't find
the python config makefile. Maybe you are
missing the development portion of the python installation]
Fear installing this gnome on slow 486 100Mhz system which works great but
seems to take forever when you are busy running other stuff under X-Windows
while it is running the background. :)
Anyhow... any help is appreciated. :)

nfs private/non-private ips permission denied problem
Hi! I have the following setup: box1: eth0: 194.47.xxx.xx2 eth1: 192.168.0.1 box2: eth0: 194.47.xxx.xx3 eth1: 192.168.0.2 box1 and box is connected via the eth1 interfaces. box1 acts as nfs-server and box2 should be the client. The private lan works. NFS sofware installed is the knfs-package .dev in project/experimental. box1's kernel loads the nfsd as a module (2.2.3). box2 has NFS filesystem support compiled into the kernel (2.2.2ac7). My mission is to mount a partition via the private-ip-'lan'. This is what happens; untrusted:~# mount -t nfs 192.168.0.1:/home /mnt/test mount: 192.168.0.1:/home/ failed, reason given by server: Permission denied If i mount the partition via the non-private ips it works fine. hosts.allow/deny is empty, ipchains is set to ACCEPT everything on both machines. /etc/exports (on box1) looks like: /home 192.168.0.2(rw) /home 194.47.XXX.XX3(rw) The problem occurs both if i use the kernel based nfs with it's tools or the ordinary nfs-package. It appears to me as if mountd gets confused about having one non-private ip and one private ip on the server-machine (debugging mountd suggests that).

*- On 9 Mar, George Bonser wrote about Re: rc.local - What is the Debian Eqivalent On 9 Mar 1999, Miquel van Smoorenburg wrote: /etc/rc.boot is wrong, /etc/rcS.d is wrong and /sbin/setup.sh is definitely very very wrong. Programs in thoise places will be executed way too early, before the system has been properly initialized. Uhm, I think in this case you are wrong. /sbin/setup.sh is the LAST thing done so it is guaranteed to run AFTER everything is set up. George, why would Miquel be wrong about this? He and Bruce Perens are the ones the wrote the boot scripts for Debian. /etc/init.d/rcS is the FIRST thing that is run. It call runs the links in /etc/rcS.d then calls rc.boot(for backwards compatibility) and then /sbin/setup.sh. Then control is passed onto the appropriate run-level scripts in rc[2-5].d. So the appropriate place for local setup scripts is in /etc/init.d with links in the rc[2-5].d directores made by using update-rc.d. From /usr/doc/sysvinit/README.runlevels.gz 1. Boot. When the systems boots, the /etc/init.d/rcS script is executed. It in turn executes all the S* scripts in /etc/rcS.d in alphabetical (and thus numerical) order. The first argument passed to the executed scripts is start. The runlevel at this point is N (none). Only things that need to be run once to get the system in a consistent state are to be run. The rcS.d directory is NOT ment to replace rc.local. One should not start daemons in this runlevel unless absolutely nessecary. Eg, NFS might need the portmapper, so it is OK to start it early in the bootprocess. But this is not the time to start the squid proxy server. 2. Going multiuser.

weird dependency error; please help...

Ok, this seems quite odd, but as the only thing I did was upgrade qt1g, I figured that must be the source of my problem. So, I uninstall it and go back to qt1g_1.42-1.

what's the best html wordprocessor?
I've used netscape composer, amaya, emacs (which is more of an html code editor), I'm looking for wysiwyg (word processor type). Now I think soffice's StarWriter is the best around. It acts just like a word processor, it has footnotes, doublespace, etc. It also uses good html. I checked my docs in lynx and they were quite viewable, and the double spacing etc looked great. I'm interested in this because my goal is to write all documents in an open file type that can be easily indexed and searchable in htdig. That way I can have a permanent and growing personal (searchable) library (one that would also be searchable over the network). I know there are lots of great word processors, but .wpd, .doc, .dvi, etc. are not acceptable. I hear gnome will have an xml word processor, that is something to look forward to. StarWriter is the best I've seen so far for Linux. The memory needs for this thing can be a bit too high for most users though. I can't wait to check out what the gnome word processor will do.

Re: set root execution permission for normal users
Hello, Conrado Badenas: I have just compiled a kernel for parport ZIP drive support, and now I would want to get an automatic way to mount and umount the drive. I have created the next script (/usr/local/bin/mtzip): /sbin/modprobe ppa.o /bin/mount /mnt/zip Shell scripts can't be setuid. Use the sudo package instead. and added the next line in /etc/fstab: /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip msdos rw,user,noauto,umask=007,gid=25 0 2 So it's only modprobe that needs to be run as root. One possibility would be to run the modprobe on bootup (if that would do what you need). Yes, there is a good reason why shell scripts can't be suid. Ask me if interested.

network help
Hi, I am trying to set up thi computer at work with Debian. All works fine apart from the network. This is a novell environment. I have set up one computer in a novell environment before and it was fine. however here I have problems. The newtwork card is working OK as far as I can tell. On boot the kernel finds it and although some mention of the eth1 interface is made at that stage, ifconfig states that eth0 is used. I can ping myself either using localhost or the IP address or the name of the machine. Ifconfig reports that lo and eth0 is up. But any attempt to ftp ping telnet anything outside of the machine does not work. route reports the localnet and 127.0.0.0 and then hangs. No gateway seems to be available as * is in place of the gateway. However I am using the same number as the other Win98 computers report in the TCP/IP installed gateways in network in control panel. I have not seen this problem before and I am at a loss for solving. Any help will be appreciated.

To change the default, and indeed any of the six alternatives, you need to put the following in ~/.Xresources (for yourself only): XTerm*VT100*Font: 9x15 XTerm*VT100*Font5: 10x20 XTerm*VT100*Font6: 12x24 (those are my own, for hamm). Remember xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources for immediate effect. I would also not recommend using xhost. Install ssh on both machines (and its dependencies, from the non-US part of the distribution) and then login to machine paladin by typing ssh paladin and you'll have a securer system. The connection will encrypt itself and also any X programs you run remotely. It should work out of the box.

One way to do that would be editing your window manager config file and where it calls for xterm, use xterm -font * option, where under -font you can specify any font you need. Including sizes. Another is to add a line to /etc/X11/Xresources that says something like XTerm*font: specify your font here. 2. I've got two systems I routinely use X apps on, paladin and discover.

SVGA server for Debian 1.3?

Re: Linux and Partition Magic
Bob Nielsen wrote: I have used Partition Magic 4.0 to expand and move a Linux partition and it worked fine. After doing this, I had to boot from a floppy and run LILO before I could boot Linux from LILO, however. I have also had this happen to me. I have contacted PowerQuest about it, demonstrated it to them, and they have acknowledged that it's a bug. I use another boot manager in the MBR (Bootit Direct), so I have Lilo installed in the Linux partition boot sector. I have found that when I use PM 4.0 to resize/move a bootable Linux *logical* drive (inside the extended partition) I almost always have the lilo problem afterwards. When I do a similar operation on a bootable Linux *primary* partition, the Lilo problem doesn't happen. PM 4.0 attempts to do the equivalent of running the lilo command when it works on a partition - but doesn't always get it right. It also makes appropriate changes to /etc/fstab automatically - and so far it looks like it does that right.

Re: Maximal Mount Count
Mike Merten dixit: Actually, what I did was something more like this: # mount /dev/hda2 /mnt # cp -a /usr/* /mnt right, /usr/* tells to copy everything inside /usr/, but not the /usr directory name itself. I think a different way to achieve this is: # cp -ax /usr # umount /mnt # rm -r /usr/* # mount /dev/hda2 /usr Then edited /etc/fstab to add a line /dev/hda2 /usr ext2 defaults 0 2 I believe you then mount /dev/hda2 to be able to edit /etc/fstab and add the line... ah, I see now, the mount command does exist in /bin. Instead, I edited /etc/fstab and added the line first, then I removed the contents inside /usr... and rebooted. Many different ways to achieve the same goal. I just wonder if I /lost+found subdirs created in new ext2 partitions can be deleted or they have to stay there for any reason... they do take some space.

Re: Debian and Redhat - are most linux users missing the point?
Your thinking of the personal user, which isn't Linux's strongsuit right now. Corporate customers are looking at the Calderas and RedHatters of the Linux distributions. Without commercial support, they won't even bother to *look* at Debian. Without the attention of the corporate world, Debian won't get enough advertising, or word of mouth, to become a player in the end user market (whenever it develops). -- Ed C. I don't think that is such a bad thing for debian to remain non-commercial. What happens when RH or caldera becomes 50.0001% owned by a company like Sun, HP or Novell? Do these companies act any different than M$? Would such a redhat CEO consider the ideas of the Linux Developers as important as the marketing strategies of his new parent company? Will RH Linux become secondary to the success of a proprietary version of unix? Maybe. Hopefully Debian won't. Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
Re: Outgoing port 53 redirected to special port.
Thanks for your input on my problem. I've solved the problem by setting up a local DNS that sends querys on port 53. It works well enough and keeps my firewall tight and neat. I could ofcourse use an external DNS as suggested in a private mail, but i think i for some reasons like this solution the better. I would prefer to be able to send all requests to ourside port 53 to a special one but that seems a bit harder than the solution i've chosen. Well...i might change the setup in the future but until then i just say thank you all for your help.

German NFS-Server
Hallo! Does anybody know a debian-mirror in Germany that I can access via NFS? I already tried the ftp-mirrors but always got a time-out message. Could it be that I just tried the wrong Paths? Or do those servers (ftp.de.debian.org ftp.tu-clausthal.de os.inf.tu-dresden.de) not support NFS? I don't think that a real time-out is the reason, because all those machines are directly connected to the german research network (DFN) (which is quite fast).
