RE: libreadlineg2
La idea es que ese postinst no dependa de bash a través de /bin/sh para que no falle nunca aunque el propio bash esté en mal estado. Claro, visto asi, es razonable que sea un binario ejecutable. Sin embargo, creo que es el que falla durante la instalacion, he seguido la indicacion de Hernan Joel, de incluir /lib y /usr/lib en ld.so.conf y ejecutar ldconfig, y con eso ha quedado arreglada la instalación, incluso he hecho esto en casa, antes de lanzar la instalación, y ha funcionado sin ningun problema.

Hola:
He estado instalando Debian 2.0 en un PC nuevo
con un Pentiun II a 350 Mhz
y una placa Intel Seattle SE440-BX a 100 Mhz.
La instalación ha ido bien, pero a la hora de conectar a internet,
me daba un extraño mensaje de IO error.
Investigando he visto que en el arranque solo encuentra el primer
puerto serie, y no encuentra el puerto paralelo. (Adjunto dmesg)
( he probado con el comando setserial y no reconoce nada mas que el
/dev/ttyS0 )
Estuve recompilando el Kernel 2.0.34 y en apariencia estan bien todas
las opciones.
¿ Alguien tiene una idea de lo que puede estar pasando ?
( Tiene windows98 instalado, el puerto funciona y la impresora también.
)

Instalar Debian/Configurar X-windows
Hola. Soy nuevo en esto de Linux, y he decidido instalar la distribución Debian 2.1 en mi computadora. Como no tengo los CDs me he propuesto instalarlo poco a poco y descargando las partes que necesito. Quisiera un poco de orientación para los pasos que debiera seguir, o si me pueden decir si mi esquema esta bien: - Instalar sistema base del Debian. (Hecho). - Instalar y configurar el ambiente gráfico X-windows (Sin exito) - Configurar arranque doble W98/Linux (lilo). - Configurar periféricos PNP y modem. - Configurar conexión al ISP. - Recompilación del Kernel y configuración de ip-masquerade. Esos son los pasos que me he propuesto, si alguien con mayor experiencia y conocimiento puede indicarme otros, les agradeceria. Como veran, solo llegue hasta el segundo, porque NO logro configurar el X-windows. Necesito un poco de ayuda aqui, por favor, mi tarjeta de video es una Sis 6326 AGP 8 MB de esas que vienen integrada a la tarjeta madre. El XF86Setup no funciona, carga una pantalla con rayas y luego unas barras negras sobre fondo blanco. Usando xf86config he logrado arrancar el X-windows, pero a una resolución muy baja. Desde allí arranco XF86Setup y a duras penas pongo lo que necesito, pero luego no arranca el X-windows. Gracias de antemano a quien pueda ayudar! Adrian E. Moya

A few problems
Hi, I just installed Debian Linux 2.1. I'm running on a 400MHz PII with 128M RAM. Everything seemed to install ok. However, when I reboot my machine it says that xdm can't find a valid X configuration file and won't start. I then log in as root and run xdm from the command line without problems. Why would it not be able to find the config files? Next problem: Netscape. I downloaded Netscape Communicator 4.51 from Netscape's homepage and installed it. The first time it ran, it said it needed libg++.so.27. I finally found the library and installed it, but now Netscape segmentation faults when I run it. Any idea why it would do that? My final problem is related to the last one. When Netscape seg faulted, it didn't dump core. How do I set things up so that the core dumps? Thanks, Rich

Just create an account on your system for everyone that you would want to create a profile for. When they log in, run netscape, and personalize it, it will retain the settings for each individual.

printing problem
Hi, Well, I guess I was wrong about resolving my problem with my printer. I tried the HPLJ4L filter and it worked, unfortunately not quite as well as I thought. Apparently it prints up very nicely. Only problem is that when it gets to the end of the file it cuts off the last page. Here is what happens: I tells it to print a four page document and it prints the first three pages rather nicely. But on the fourth page the printer stops and I have to manually press the power button once and release it for it to print the last page. However, it print this last page with some text missing at the end. I don't think that the filter I have is cutting it. Does anyone knows of a filter for my HP LaserJet 1100, or failing that can anyone help me to write a filter for this filter so that I will be able to finalize my debian setup. At least until I try something more adventurous next time. Thanks for any advice. Shawn
KDM restarting
I've noticed something over the past few days: When I switch from my KDE session to the console using CTL-ALT-F1, sometimes the background of the console (the text positions that DON'T have characters in them) are given the ASCII block character. All spaces and unused positions are fill with this block. Sometimes it's grey, sometimes other colors - but mostly grey. Also, there has been an instance or two that switching to the console has forced KDM to restart - the only error I get is a that KDE terminated unexpectedly. Any idea what's up? -Jay
KDE problems
Hi, I somehow managed to get things in an annoying state. I've been trying to install kde. I got the .deb files from the kde site and tried to install them. Somewhere along the line things got screwed up. I had the wrong version of qt installed (I had 1.40 and kde required 1.42) so things wouldn't configure. I couldn't find qt1.42 so I decided to delete the kde packages. Now kdebase refuses to go away. When I use dselect, it has an I in the installed state field and it insists on trying to remove it (which fails every time). If I try to tell it to install kdebase (which I hoped would just overwrite the old one) it gets very confused. When I select kdebase, it goes to the dependency window. Even though I have everything selected for install (which is what it says it wants) when I try to leave the dependency window it just jumps right back in. The only way to get out of the dependency window is to deselect everything. I can no longer install anything through dselect because it's dead set on trying to remove kdebase. How to I tell it to quit trying to remove kdebase? When I run dpkg from the command line to remove kdebase, I get the following output: (Reading database ... 55600 files and directories currently installed.) Removing kdebase ... dpkg - warning: while removing kdebase, directory `/etc/kde' not empty so not removed. chmod: /etc/menu-methods/kde: No such file or directory dpkg: error processing kdebase (--remove): subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: kdebase Thanks, Rich

ANNOUNCE: new documentation, Installing Debian on a Compaq Presario Laptop
Greetings, This is an annoucement of the first draft of a new piece of documentation entitled Installing Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 on a Compaq Presario 1210 laptop. (Unweildy but accurate name, I know.) The document is currently availible at: http://members.tripod.com/~pibble/laptopnotes.html It is a guide to installing and configuring many aspects of Linux / X on such a laptop. Though the document is specific to that model, most of the information is probably applicable to other similar laptops. The document is freely redistributable and I would appreciate if someone could mirror it and/or add it to a page with resources for installing Linux on laptops. Comments encouraged. This is a first draft and will be updated. Thank you for your time. Preston Landers

/var/lib/dpkg on diskless linux
Hi, I operate a cluster of diskless linux PCs using debian hamm. It works quite well and i can say that debian causes the least problems with diskless machines (tried SuSe an Redhat too). However i was wondering about /var/lib/dpkg. Normally, in a diskless cluster, every client gets its own copy of /etc, /dev and /var, while /bin, /sbin, /lib and /usr are there only once. /var/lib/dpkg, however, which is NOT specifc for each client, occupies some 10 to 20 MB of disk space. Also, if i install or upgrade packages on the server, the change is not reflected in the client's copy of /var/lib/dpkg. My questions: 1) Why is this stuff in /var? Shouldn't it rather go to /usr? 2) Can i replace /var/lib/dpkg on the clients with a link to the server's /var/lib/dpkg? 3) Is /var/lib/dpkg only used at install/upgrade time?

what to do when libc6 upgrade goes bad
Greetings-- I just made an attempt at upgrading my installed libc6 using libc6_2.0.7.19981211-6.deb. I have a 2.0 complete install, but I was going to try GnuCash, which requires guile 1.3, which requires a few things that are newer than Deb2.0. Anyway, it didn't go so well, apparently, since some of the other libs that guile depends on didn't install due to errors, along the lines of unable to link or somesuch (I am embarrassed to say I did not write the message down, as I was rather frantic in short order). Having updated libc6, I didn't know whether a reboot was in order, since that is a fairly important library for just about everything. Well, this was a bad idea, since my machine hung rebooting, and then nothing would run once the kernel finished starting. Couldn't log in, rescue disk doesn't have dpkg, and I was sorta stuck, and sort of frantic (moreso, in fact). So I just reinstalled and reconfigured the base package using the debian installer, which turned out to be sort of okay... it had the desired effect of replacing libc6 with an older version, and it left almost everything else intact. (Actually, smail won't run anymore... it just bails on startup, despite the fact that the config files seem to be there... any thoughts?) The question, then, is what to do NEXT TIME I do something dumb like this... how can I avoid getting stuck in this situation, given that I have a 2.0 CD... Any suggestions appreciated, regarding the best way to backtrack when libc6 upgrades go bad, or how to get smail to run again. Thanks Dan Hugo

I have never noticed this before... this does not seem right to me, either. Can someone tell me why this would be? This looks like the well-known problem with the changed format of utmp and wtmp when going from libc5 to libc6. These files are used to record who is logged in, and they are read by programs like finger. This is what it says in the README-upgrade file from the slink-CD: ... 3. You need to move the wtmp file and truncate the utmp file: cd /var/log mv wtmp wtmp.libc5 touch wtmp cd /var/run cp /dev/null utmp 4. You might want to reboot again to make sure ... By the way: the cd_autoup.sh script on the slink CD is as broken as the one on the (first) hamm CD was. There is a misspelling in the name of the directory that contains the debs necessary for the upgrade, and in that directory there is a host of broken links to be admired. Maybe it is better to include a description of what to do rather then providing a buggy script. HTH, Eric Meijer -- E.L.

Re: Documentation suggestion (was Re: Slink upgrade and xwindows)
I have to admit, there is a bit of truth to this, alot of people just don't have the time to read 18 different documents in 18 different locations. Man pages, info pages, FAQs, HOWTOs, mini-HOWTOs, READMEs, INSTALL docs, package descriptions... it is a bit daunting. I do feel that anyone installing anything shoud be up for some reading, but just how much reading is the question. I'm not even going to think about complaining about the amount of documentation, coming from systems that have zip, I know from experience how helpful good documentation can be. But I wonder if maybe there is a better way to organize the volumunous information given to us in a standard, easy to use, heirarchial fashion. What about this: for a start make sure that every package has a file in /usr/doc/package name that points to the available documentation, like * manual page blurp.1: short overview of command line options * info blurp.info.gz: extensive discussion of all options, and some examples * http://www.blurp.org: web site dedicated to blurp * see also the blurp-doc package In a similar vain it would be very helpful to have a file that lists configuration files that have an impact on the package, like this. /etc/conf.blurp /var/lib/blurp/blurp.history HTH, Eric Meijer This would be wonderful!!! Only one single point from where to search for documentation. If you ever executed a command like find /usr -type f|xargs egrep -li 'proxy|squid' then you know, that a central point for documentation would be a great time saver. But when talking about documentation, I must talk about man pages. Every (I really mean every) executable should have an up to date and complete man page. Unfortunately the gnu folks stick to info files. Info files tend to be lengthy and tedious, but most time I only need a comprehensive description of the command and its options. That's what a man page should be. Therefore I am a strong advocate of man pages, which ideally should have the following structure (sections in brackets [] are optional): Name: The name of the command. Synopsis: Syntax of the command. Description: Short, but complete description of what the command does. Options: List of all options and description of how they alter the behaviour of the command. [Exit Status]: Sic [X-Resources]: For X programs the list of X resources with description which are meant for user customization. [Environment]: List and description of environment variables, which are affected or which affect the command execution. Examples: List of a few examples showing the typical use of the command. Files: List of files which are in tight relation to the command, i.e. full path of the command and full path of configuration-, log-, etc files. See Also: List of related man pages. [Bugs]: List of known bugs. Version: Version number of the command with date of release. Authors: List of authors together with email addresses and/or web pages Of course this is not the last word spoken on what a man page should look like, but it might be a good starting point.

More info (was Re: what to do when libc6 upgrade goes bad)
Here is the error that was occurring when I attempted to reboot, as I describe below: /bin/sh: error in loading shared libraries : undefined symbol: rl_ignore_some_completions_function Dan wrote: Greetings-- I just made an attempt at upgrading my installed libc6 using libc6_2.0.7.19981211-6.deb. I have a 2.0 complete install, but I was going to try GnuCash, which requires guile 1.3, which requires a few things that are newer than Deb2.0. Anyway, it didn't go so well, apparently, since some of the other libs that guile depends on didn't install due to errors, along the lines of unable to link or somesuch (I am embarrassed to say I did not write the message down, as I was rather frantic in short order). Having updated libc6, I didn't know whether a reboot was in order, since that is a fairly important library for just about everything. Well, this was a bad idea, since my machine hung rebooting, and then nothing would run once the kernel finished starting. Couldn't log in, rescue disk doesn't have dpkg, and I was sorta stuck, and sort of frantic (moreso, in fact). So I just reinstalled and reconfigured the base package using the debian installer, which turned out to be sort of okay... it had the desired effect of replacing libc6 with an older version, and it left almost everything else intact. (Actually, smail won't run anymore... it just bails on startup, despite the fact that the config files seem to be there... any thoughts?) The question, then, is what to do NEXT TIME I do something dumb like this... how can I avoid getting stuck in this situation, given that I have a 2.0 CD... Any suggestions appreciated, regarding the best way to backtrack when libc6 upgrades go bad, or how to get smail to run again.

Adaptec AIC7770 error during install
Hi, Just chiming in w/ a newbie question. I have an Intergraph TD-3 (90Mhz) with 56Mb RAM and 2 \1Gb SCSI-2 drives on an Adaptec AIC 7770 onboard. I'm trying to install Linux on it and have only been able to install w/ Caldera 1.2 so far but would like instead Debian 2.1 (or 2.2). This is the problem. When installing Debian or Redhat on this box when booting from an installation boot disk everything runs fine until it tries to reset my SCSI bus. Then I get the message (for Debian, Redhat's is the same flavor), aic7xxx:(aic7xxx_isr) encountered spurious interrupt. scsi0: BRKARINT error(0x1). illegal host access. Kernel panic: scsi0: BRKARINT, error 0x1, seqaddr 0x0. I've tried to insert the boot aurgument: aic7xxx=1 (for no_reset) to try to get initial boot going w/o kernel panic but the init.rd or root.bin refuses to accept this aurguement during the boot. Could the kind debian-user group please give me some input as to how to alleviate this problem so I can configure this system to run my faorite flavor of Linux (Debian)? I've been able to install Caldera on it but would prefer Debian. Details of install: 1.) I'm installing from harddisk w/ the entire stable R2.1 directory downloaded via FTP. (I have a cable modem which facilitates this. I think I'll break down and get the CD from Borders this eve.) 2.) The machine is an Intergraph TD-3 (90Mhz) w/ 56Mb EDO RAM, onboard AMD 79C960 PC-NET ethernet adapter, onboard Adaptec AIC7770 dual channel SCSI adapter, and Diamond Viper (via Intergraph) 2Mb PCI video card. This is a VERY proprietary system but it should make an excellent box for running Debian (especially after I upgrade the processor to an Evergreen 266Mhz overdrive and bump up the RAM so I can run VMWARE.

Re: help -- missing shared library libncurses.so.4
I've been running Debian 2.0 happily until earlier this evening, when I ran dselect to upgrade my current packages. After retrieving and attempting to install the upgraded packages, however, something royally screwed up and now I get a can't open libncurses.so.4 - no such file or directory error everytime I try to do _anything_. I can't even open a shell, I tried booting into single-user mode -- in other words, I can't even access my harddrive. This has happened to me before and I reinstalled Debian in the end. I wouldn't have to reinstall if it happened to me again though. Boot with your Debian rescue disk and install the libncurses4 package with dpkg, if that doesn't work, see if you can get the libncurses.so.4 file from somewhere else, boot the disk, copy it to your /usr/lib directory, boot your debian and install the libncurses4 package.

Slink Questions apt and /dev.
I just completely upgraded to slink. I decided to use the apt method of installation from dselect since ftp is no longer there. It seemd to work well. Chose the packages and download while I slept, answered some config questions before work this morning. My question is with the old ftp it aked where to save your debs. Where does apt store the debs? Question 2. Anyone using an old goldstar based cdrom. I seem that the slink gscd module is hosed. I get a error message that I can't recall - something about ill formated script, but it says the module installed correctly. But mount it gives me the invalid block device.

I also agree with the idea of having a single starting point for documentation. And something I kind of wonder about - why are there always so many documents for a given program? Can't they be combined into one document devided into sections? With info pages, you can get to any specific section quickly and cleanly, this seems like a good way to get to the FAQ, or program doc, or release notes.. And curious.. alot of the man pages say they are no longer supported, that info is the definitive source of documenation.

Re: more ram and larger harddrive then the bios can take

I just would like to ask two simple questons about this: Q1 I have a motherboard with a bios that take 128 ram, no more, that is what the manual says, can I have 256 mb if I add memory=256 in lilo.conf. A1 No Q2 My bios manual say that it´s limit is 8,4 gb harddrive. But if i have the root inside the 8,4 gb limit is it possible to have, lets say, a 15 gb hardrive? A2 No Disclaimer: I am guessing at these, so take what I say with a Grain of salt. I would say that both of these are Hardware Limitations, not software or driver limitations. Physical as opposed to Logical problems and thus not correctable by software. Jeff
Re: Hitting web site consistently dropped ppp connection?
Hi John, you wrote on Sun, Mar 21 1999: Sounds likely, but any modem that does so is defective. The modem should ignore +++ unless it is preceded and followed by a pause. It normally does, but IMHO the pause is not required. Anyway, the default value (US-Robotics/3Com) in Register S02 is 043 (the plus sign), changing this to something different should solve the problem anyway. You normally don't need the escape codes. Kind regards Frederick
Re: what to do when libc6 upgrade goes bad
Having updated libc6, I didn't know whether a reboot was in order, since that is a fairly important library for just about everything. Well, this was a bad idea, since my machine hung rebooting, and then nothing would run once the kernel finished starting. Couldn't log in, rescue disk doesn't have dpkg, and I was sorta stuck, and sort of frantic (moreso, in fact). It wasn't necessary to reboot... Couldn't imoprtant binaries that could stop a machine from rebooting be statically linked to avoid problems like this ? Regards -- Sarel Botha
