Looking for trouble.
There doesn't seem to be a special group for Debian Newbies, so I hope y'all don't mind me bringing up some questions here. I did a lot of reading on Linux and Debian, but I now have a copy of Debian 2.1 and am trying to get a system up. Background: Dutch, teacher, location: Taiwan, 32, shortwave DXer. System1: Pentium 200MMX, 64 MB RAM, 3.2+6.1 GB HD, S3 Trio64, Soundblaster AWE64. System2: Twinhead Slimnote 486-33, 8 MB RAM, 305 MB HD, VGA monochrome monitor. What I did sofar: Installed Debian 2.1 with base system on the Twinhead, with 9 floppies. Aim: Connect a parallel port CD-ROM (Shuttle EPIA) and install the rest of the system. Remarks: I cleaned the HD and reformatted it as one partition (305 MB). However, Debian 2.1 installation couldn't get cfdisk going and thus I used the second console to manually partition and set the swap. Questions: 1) What is an easy way to go to the previous directory, e.g. I am in /usr/bin and want to go to /usr? 2) With the base system installed I can't open man pages, that is, when typing man ls for example, the system returns with command not found. In /bin and /sbin I also can't see any man-binary. There are man pages stored, but in .gz format. Is it normal that the man command is not installed? How to open/read .gz files. 3) I tried to create some scripts, very simple ones, but they refuse to run, or the system says command not found. Example: #! /bin/bash # echo The time and date is.. date Saved as telltime, then mode changed with chmod -v u+x telltime. With cat I can still see the contents of the file as plain text. Is this normal? As said, when executing telltime the system returns command not found. I know that you have to watch the path, but even when I put this script in / or /bin it still won't run, while installed commands like date do run from almost every directory. What do I do wrong? 4) Any hints to where to find some in dept Debian specific FAQs? I know there is a lot around, and believe me I've been reading, but most tutorials/FAQs assume that the system is running smoothly and hardly deal with problem solving. Thanks for the help.

Dayly cron job

Check the /proc/pci what irq it has, if no irq is shown than its the PCI slot. You can either change position of the card or turn PCI to manual in the bios, and assigning a free irq to that card.

If you have mtools installed, and configured (mine was configured out of the box): mcopy C:/filename . This is a bit for bit copy, meaning, this is for binary files.

more Mutt question
set folder =~/.mail set mbox=~/.mail/inbox set postponed =~/.mail/postponed set record =~/.mail/outbox set spoolfile =~/.mail/inbox Now, when it comes to moving it every month - mutt is constantly fighting against mail client bloat, so if you ask about this on one of the mutt mailing lists, the official answer is: Use cron, it's designed to do things exactly like this, it works, and it means we don't have to inflate the mail client anymore. So basically, just set up a quick monthly cron job that moves your sent-mail folder out of the way and touches a new one. thanks for the hot tip. now how do i mark 20 files out of the 80 i just received and move them over to some folder called debian-user ... presently i copy the selected emails to that folder (one by one) then i delete them afterwards ... (im a new mutt convert) TIA, chad
More trouble ahead....
Thank you James, March, Richard, Oliver and Jan for answering my questions. It seems indeed that the base system doesn't come with the man command. A bit strange, but who am I to comment on that :-) I still haven't solved the script problem, though. - I have used ./telltime, but still no luck. - I have changed the mode to 0777 (or +u if you prefer). - I have checked the PATH and put the file in /bin and /usr/local/bin, both of which are in the path. BTW, Oliver, $ type telltime comes back with bash: $: command not found. Bash is installed and in /bin. I have used a mini-Linux distribution (tomsrtbt 2.0.36 - the most Linux on a floppy. Never leave home without it) to boot and then change the mode according to the above. Still no result. A wild guess of mine is that I maybe did something wrong when I cfdisked the harddrive. As I said, when installing Debian 2.1 the installer didn't want to execute cfdisk and so I partitioned by hand and skipped that step. When booting now I see the following Partition check: hda: hda1 hda2 VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly. Adding Swap: 20940 swap-space (priority -1) Exqueeze me, but what is VFS and is the fact that my Mounted root (hda1) is readonly correct? The reason why I need this problem solved is that I want to use paride to connect a parallel port CD-ROM and thus I need to make a /dev/pcd (which also doesn't come standard). Once I have the CD-ROM I can install the system in full, otherwise I will have to start thinking about buying some extra floppies and install it via that medium :-( I'm still having fun, though. Problem solving is the fastest way to become smart. Maybe that is street smart, but it'll come in handy sooner or later :-) At least I find Linux a lot more logical than MS-DOS, although I can't wait to install Moonlight Commander, because I really miss a commander like that. Should be standard in every distribution. From a dark and gloomy Taipei (no wonder at 10:20 pm) greetings from, Hans

(im a new mutt convert) TIA, chad I'm not sure I completely understand what you're asking, but I'll give it a shot. If you're just looking to separate debian-user mail from everything else, one suggestion is procmail. I have the following procmail rule in my .procmailrc: :0: * ^TOdebian-user@ debian-user This files away all traffic from this list into ~/.mail/debian-user instead of my normal ~/.mail/inbox for new mail. Then, inside .muttrc, I define which mailboxes receive new mail like so: mailboxes =inbox snip =debian-user This way, mutt will alert me when new mail has arrived in debian-user, and when I press 'c' (for change folder), mutt will supply the name of the next mailbox with new unread mail automatically. Another way to go about this, if you still want all of your mail to arrive in your inbox, but then get sorted after you read it, is to use a mutt save-hook. For example, for debian-user, you do save-hook ^debian-user-request=debian-user Now, inside of mutt, whenever you hit 's' over a message from debian-user, it guesses that this belongs in the debian-user folder. You can still change this, of course, but you can save your mail by hitting 's', enter, over and over. To be really efficient, you use message tagging. So you hit 't' over all messages from debian-user as you read them, and they get a little asterisk next to them (in the default configuration, at least). When you're done, press ';' (that's the tag prefix, makes the next operation apply to all tagged messages), then 's', and the folder they belong in (if you've set up a save-hook, you won't even have to type this). So basically, there are lots of ways, either with mutt or with mutt in combination with other tools, to do this without copying the messages over and then deleting.

Compilation problems with XEmacs
I have the debian sources for xemacs 20.4-13 and wanted to recompile
it to remove the gpm support. After applying a little filter to the
debian/rules file to get rid of the mule variants:
while(STDIN) {
print unless /mule/;
next unless /nomule/;
s/\S*canna\S*//g;
s/\S*[-_]mule\S*//g;
s/[ ]mule\S*/ /g;
print;
}
I compiled it as usual. However, gcc complained about the ndbm.h file
missing. I used locate to find it in /usr/include/db1 and changed the
rules file to point to this include locatation. The compilation
succeeded, however xemacs crashed as soon as I started it in X11 (with
-nw or in linux console it run fine).
I was able to track the problem down to the database library. If I
add the --with-database=berkdb option to the configure call in
debian/rules, the resulting version won't crash on my system.
Does anybody has similiar problems after stepping to glibc2.1
(currently 2.1.1-0.2 is installed)? Is there a better way to solve
this problem without correcting the self-detection routines in
autoconf.h? I'd like to compile unchanged debian packages on my
system.

Re: Dual Boot Linux/NT and ATI Rage IIc video
Well, I'm not quite sure what happened, but here it is. I decided that I would try putting the original X files back in from my CD, so I ran dselect, pointed it at my CD, and let it go. It restored alot of files, but not all of them. I ran the install option several time, but kept getting the same dependency problems. Then I tried using dpkg to install JUST xserver-mach64, thinking I could just check the dep's for it, and of course it failed miserably. At this point I figured my X directory was pretty hosed up. XF86Setup kept complaining about xinitrc files missing. I ran xf86config, and it let me select the Rage IIC card. But XF86Setup still wouldn't run. I rebooted it back to Windows out of disgust with myself. Later I figured I would just delete the entire X11R6 directory and try again with dselect. Imagine my surprise when, just as I was waiting for login at tty1, all of a sudden I got the X login screen! I logged in, and now I've got X. About 4 time the size of my 17 monitor. The screen scrolls with the mouse. The menu is there, I'm using fmw95, and lots of app's seem to be installed, but most of them don't work, yet. I haven't tried running XF86Setup yet, But I think I'll contact my friend here and see if he'll burn me a new CD with the latest version on it and try to upgrade with that. I need to get together with some Linux users to find out how to configure the rest of my system, but at least I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just hope it doesn't turn out to be a train! As for the other prob's, My modem is a Rockwell, I need to get that replaced, I think. My sound card is a crystal something. I have a lexmark 3200 colour printer, and I plan to get a cheap PC for my daughter as an X terminal, so we can stop fighting over the PC! This is certainly going to be an interesting and, hopefully, fun, learning curve. But I might as well jump in with both feet and take the plunge! Wish me luck! Cheers, John Gay
Re: kernel question
Hi, If I compile something as a module rather than include it in the kernel, will I get a performance loss?? If I use something very often, such as ppp, should I include it in the kernel or compile it as a module? There should not be a difference. If you use something the entire time the box is on, then consider compiling it in. Some items must be a module to allow irq and io addresses to be configed.
Re: Banshee
Hello As a Debian newbie and was wondering if there is an HOWTO or a faq on how to get an Creative Labs Banshee 16mb working in Debian ? The steps are: go to store buy a new card take out Banshee card install new card enjoy working Xfree Banshee cards are not currently supported. A coworker of mine sold his and bought a TNT. Cheaper and in all ways a better card. It can be forced to work by using the frame buffer console and Xframebuffer BUT it is non acclerated and is a waste of card.

3) I tried to create some scripts, very simple ones, but they refuse to run, or the system says command not found. Example: #! /bin/bash # echo The time and date is.. date Saved as telltime, then mode changed with chmod -v u+x telltime. With cat I can still see the contents of the file as plain text. Is this normal? As said, when executing telltime the system returns command not found. I know that you have to watch the path, but even when I put this script in / or /bin it still won't run, while installed commands like date do run from almost every directory. What do I do wrong?

Why can't it update the package list in the same step in which you choose a method of installation? (I realize you may want to update the packages without changing the method, but why can't it automatically update the packages when you change it?) Furthermore, is there a method of searching by package description, rather than name, in dselect, and if not, why not? It could be very useful. (My apologies if I just need to RTFM more carefully.

X mystery solved (sort of)
Hi all: I downloaded the X 3.3.3 files from Vincent's directory late last month. I ran into a small problem with the installation that wouldn't let me run XF86Setup. It kept complaining about some README file for xkb not being installed and then it would bail. I was able to get X working using xf86config, though. I tracked down the location of the file in xclients-base ad re-installed it with out improvement. Since the file was just a README, I decided to create it where it thought it should be. Voila! problem solved. Now it complains about some misc READMEs, but it runs perfectly. Has anyone else had this problem, or am I the only idiot on this list? I thought I would ask before I emailed Vincent.

kernels 2.0.x, 2.2.x and networking
Hi, I just shot myself in the foot, when trying to reach for the stars... I was trying out the 2.2.5 kernel on my Slink install. Before I saw the page on running 2.2 by Anthony Towns (did I get the name right?), I had noticed that when bring up my 2.2 kernel, my route using lo was not coming up. And I couldnt bring it up manually either. The messages that I was getting indicated some kind of syntax error - which was strange, since I was booting off of the same rootdisk used by my 2.0.36 Slink install. Anyway, when I discovered Anthony's page, I went and downloaded the new netbase and installed it. This of course required the new libc6 (otherwise it wouldnt configure), and which required apt version 0.10 (and which I couldnt find - what I found was apt version 0.3x [x = something or the other]). Anyway, everything is installed, and now my 2.2 kernel still doesnt produce a route for lo, but worse (oh horrors!) my 2.0.36 kernel now produces the following 'ifconfig' output : eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:20:78:15:E3:9E unix addr: Bcast: Mask: UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:2 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:2 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 Interrupt:10 Base address:0x1200 loLink encap:Local Loopback unspec addr:00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-3B-01-40-02-00 Bcast:00-00-7F-FF-FF-FF-00-00-00-00-00-3B-01-40-02-00 Mask:00-00-FF-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-3B-01-40-00-00 UP BROADCAST LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3584 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 This is what a working 'ifconfig' setup looks like (on my Redhat system - same machine) : loLink encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Bcast:127.255.255.255 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP BROADCAST LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3584 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 eth0 Link encap:10Mbps Ethernet HWaddr 00:20:78:15:E3:9E inet addr:192.168.0.1 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:5 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 TX packets:5 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 Interrupt:10 Base address:0x1200 Save me!

Re: Telnet from M$win to Debian (newbie)
Well, you can login as root through telnet, but it's not recommended. I used to do that alot on my Slackware setup, but it seems that Debian (at least Slink) is set up to not let you do that. I'm sure you can change the settings somehow, but it's simpler and more secure to login as a regular user and then su. Try setting up ssh as well. It's a lot more secure and automatically forwards your X connection (encripted, unlike simply setting your display to the remote computer). my $0.02 -igor - Original Message - From: Assad Khan [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: John Galt [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: debian-user@lists.debian.org Sent: Tuesday, April 13, 1999 1:38 PM Subject: Re: Telnet from M$win to Debian (newbie) John, first of all you can't login as root via telnet.

Re: Some email bounces = misconfigured exim?
Hello, Arcady Genkin: Well, I personally don't think that *that* is the problem. My outgoing mail bounces from the foreign servers, not sympatico's. Why are you trying to send mail directly to foreign servers? Simpler to give it all to your ISP and let *them* handle it. It's their *job* to figure out how to talk to all the SMTP hosts on the planet, and they have the resources to do it (including their own DNS, static IP, permanent link, full-time staff to handle problems etc). You should only need to figure out how to talk to your own ISP's SMTP host. Most of them only require that you be calling in from their modem pool. (My own mail address - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - is an MX-only domain pointing to a commercial ISP; I have no problem using that address when sending e-mail, provided I send it to whoever I've currently phoned (ISP server when I call the ISP, university server when I'm on the uni modem pool). The machine I'm typing on is called legend.baum.com.au) In the routers section of exim.conf, use something like: smarthost: driver = domainlist transport = remote_smtp route_list = * mail.sympatico.ca bydns_a end (Actually, since I routinely call either the ISP or the university, I have the ip-up.d/exim script place the mailserver name in a file and then I pull it into the exim config using the $lookup function.)
