Offer for apt improvements at the Free Software Bazaar
Dear Debian lovers, I've just made an offer on the Free Software Bazaar (http://visar.csustan.edu/bazaar/bazaar.html) for improvements to apt. So I invite all of you would like to have those improvements to increase my offer. The request is : apt-get should try the various FTP sites listed in /etc/apt/sources.list for fastest download, not only the first one. Several packages could be downloaded in parallel from different sites. If the current download rate for a given FTP sites falls below a customizable threshold, apt-get should try to download the package in parallel from another site. Add a command line option so that every package will be installed right after download and the .deb file will be removed before the next package is downloaded. This is useful if there isn't enough space in /var. It should be possible to install one package and download another one in parallel. The ID of my request is 990528A. -- Laurent Martelli [EMAIL PROTECTED]

help! install with DOS-lost HD on boot
Home with the school computer for summer... I wanted to redo my drive layout due to very limited space, squeezing out OS/2 and Windows for Linux. I've lost my Linux drives, though. I am hoping someone could point out where I screwed up, and suggest a way to avoid reinstalling (or doing it right ;). After backing up critical files to a new-but-old 430 Mb HD (hdb), I wiped all partitions on hda, created a 100 Mb fat DOS partition, 2 primaries for root and swap, then 3 logicals on the rest of hda for /var, /home, and /usr. Install of 2.1 went well from CD. Set up LILO as my boot manager. Rebooted to a DOS floppy to check, and then format C (it saw the partition as 90 Mb instead of 100--did I choose the wrong fs type?). Booted into Linux. Untarred the old DOS system onto the C partition, modified lilo.conf, and ran lilo. This led to the inability to boot DOS (non-system disk or disk error ... or whatever it was). Using cfdisk I reset both hda1 and hda2 as bootable (1st--DOS, 2nd--Debian) and wrote to disk. Re-read error reported by cfdisk. Reboot led to an inability to boot LILO at all. An old Linux rescue disk taught me to make a new one at some future point :( I didn't realize it was set to another partition, and I don't know how to change that.. ). A DOS floppy allowed me to again reformat the C drive, install DOS/Win31 for my kids' games, and boot directly to DOS. But I'd like to get the drive back to Linux control without a reinstall, if possible. Can I make a rescue floppy from the DOS partition, using the CD and skipping all other installation steps?

Mozilla installation
I am running Debian v2.0, and I am attempting to install Mozilla via dselect. I got the following list of dependencies : mozilla depends on lesstifg (= 0.85.2) mozilla depends on libc6 (= 2.0.7u) mozilla depends on libc6 (= 2.0.7u-6) mozilla depends on libstdc++2.9 libstdc++2.9 does not appear to be available mozilla depends on zlib1g (= 1.1.3) mozilla suggests postscript-viewer mozilla suggests pdf-viewer mozilla suggests xanim or ucmbmpeg-play mozilla suggests freeamp, amp, splay, maplay or mpg123 So I went to the website at http://www.debian.org, and searched the packages for these other files. For starters, I searched on lesstifg, and got the following search results : Release Quality Package (size) stable 100% lesstifg-dbg 1:0.86.9-2 (3915.5k) Static library with debugging symbols for LessTif. stable 100% lesstifg-dev 1:0.86.9-2 (96.3k) Development library and header files for LessTif. stable 33% lesstifg 1:0.86.9-2 (549.8k) OSF/Motif implementation released under LGPL. Responses 1-3 of 3 responses shown. Obviously, the version is the one that I want, seeing as Mozilla requires v0.85.2 of lesstifg or later (the version that was available on my machine was 0.83.7 - I guess that this is why it was complaining). Basically, my question is ... which of these three downloads do I need ? All of them ? The problem is that I dont know what the purpose of these files are and if someone could enlighten me in general on this situation, I would be grateful. Also, in the case of libstdc++, the version that is available via dselect on my machine is v2.8. It seems to me that some of the files available for installation are out of sync with each other. Could anyone suggest to me why this might be the case ? Thanks in advance for any help !

I worry...
Hi, I do not really know if this belongs here, but I could not find anywhere else seeming more appropriate for this than among Debian users. I have chosen Debian for my personal use, lately my company has chosen Debian on several servers (including our web server), and we have suddenly become very dependent on all these people out there making Debian so damn good (mostly for free). Then I keep reading and seeing the commercial distributions, especially RH rushing forward trying to position themselves in a market where they obviously see the opportunity to make big bucks. And with the big bucks comes all the nastiness of high finance business, and I am afraid one of these will win and leave the ones that chose quality and versatile over hype in a jam because all the talented people in the Linux world suddenly see the possiblilty to make money, and a lot of it. We had a hard time finding someone willing to do our Debian server. All of the ones we contaced to get our web server built told us they felt more confident doing a RH install or they said: RH is pretty strong in this ares, and some of them even had some nifty deals for us if we chose RH. How will the Debian community be able to fight in a market like this in the future? I dread a situation where Debian becomes a distribuion based on what RH employees contribute on their spare time.

What I want is some links about comparisons between GNOME and KDE. Hope I'm not just being trolled... IMHO KDE is a little more stable at the moment, and all the parts seem to work together better. It's not exactly speedy, but it's not too bad. It has documentation for just about everything, and isn't too bad a way of hiding all the cli stuff of linux. The themes are pretty easy to install now too, and some of them are approaching the coolness of some e themes. GNOME, I think, looks much better, but it's still pretty slow and buggy. You have a little more choice of which WM to use, but it seems to look most impressive with e. You have lots of e and GTK themes, which can make the whole system look really amazing. But I think the best difference is that the GNOME panel is actually useful, whereas the KDE panel is pretty much just an app launcher. Many more GNOME apps will embed themselves in the panel and live there, providing useful (and useless) information. Few KDE apps seem to use the panel for anything more than a button to launch them. Debian GNOME (in slink at least) is prolly stable enuf for day-to-day use, but despite the versioning, GNOME really doesn't deserve to be 1.0x, more like 0.5, I would think (it's political, so I'm told). It's a lot more useable on debian than it was a few weeks ago tho. With a decent DM, there is no reason you can't have both on your system and change between them (WDM does this really well). Provided you have the disk space, i guess (yes, disk space is cheep, but some of us are still poor students. KDE 2.0 may change things a little - i don't really know how much. QT 2.0 looks like it will be as configurable as GTK, and they claim it wont be as slow (GTK with a pixmap theme is *very* slow!) Don't know how much more I can say. I started with KDE, then installed GNOME, and tend to swap between them. GNOME is more fun if you are a compulsive tweaker - but expect to break things. Both of them are much more bloated than a standalone WM like Afterstep.

GNOME installation screw-up
I downloaded the GNOME 1.0 distribution with apt, installed, put the exec gnome-session line in my .xsession file, and quit X to try out what I had done. Oops. I could have done the smart thing and logged out as Root before I put any GNOME startup stuff in a .xsession, but NOOO. I was too eager for that. Now, I can't get out of xdm at all if I try to log in as Root; if I try to log in with one of the user accounts, Enlightenment breaks -- possibly because they had existing .enlightenment directories from the 0.14 that came with Slink. I wouldn't have a problem, except that I can't figure out how to get out of XDM and into another virtual console so that I could fix stuff (well, maybe I'd still have a problem, but I wouldn't be completely stuck in XDM where I can't do anything) So, any ideas about a) why X won't start as root (the account with exec gnome-session in the .xsession file) b) why Enlightenment isn't working on user accounts with no GNOME startup instructions or c) how to get out of XDM so that I can start fixing the above two problems would be very helpful. __ matthew myers davis [EMAIL PROTECTED]

When I got back to my machine later, I found that ppp had reset some permissions on the ppp directory (it took dip off of the group, for some reason). I went to su to root, and I got a bad password error. Of course, I totally panicked. I quit X and restarted it, but the problem remained. As a desperate measure, I switched to another console and tried to log in as root and... it worked. It looks like some element relating to su has been broken. I apologize for not knowing which package contains su, but I have the latest version for Potato (x86) as of Wednesday (yesterday). I've just discovered that su fails to work on the console, too. Should I downgrade some packages (and if so, how is that done?) or wait until the next version of package x(y,z) to come out? Is anyone else having this problem? Thanks, -Chris

It's not that bad a place for it... Let's just hope no one decides to escalate this to holy war status ;) I'd like to ask anyone reading, please don't turn this into a Debian versus RedHat flamefest. We're not competitors. I have chosen Debian for my personal use, lately my company has chosen Debian on several servers (including our web server), and we have suddenly become very dependent on all these people out there making Debian so damn good (mostly for free). Personally, i can't think of a group i'd rather depend on. All the Debian people i've spoken with have been extremely nice (not that RedHat people aren't). i especially like the way Debian keeps the stable distribution as stable as humanly possible, and not breaking unstable too frequently either (i have heard a bit about many broken rpms) nastiness of high finance business, and I am afraid one of these will win and leave the ones that chose quality and versatile over hype in a jam because all the talented people in the Linux world suddenly see the possiblilty to make money, and a lot of it. Personally, i don't see it happening. Yes, there will be some commercial aspects in some areas, but a big part of Linux in general is the community and the hacker ethic (http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/jargon/frames/hackerethic.html if you don't already know). Debian has the strongest sense of community i've yet seen. We had a hard time finding someone willing to do our Debian server. All of the ones we contaced to get our web server built told us they felt more confident doing a RH install or they said: RH is pretty strong in this ares, and some of them even had some nifty deals for us if we chose RH. How will the Debian community be able to fight in a market like this in the future? A lot of management-type people don't understand Debian because it's completely unlike anything they've ever seen before. RedHat they can relate to, because it's a for-profit company. Debian is a non-profit organization maintained by people volunteering their time. So, the people installing the servers get to know RedHat, because it's what all the managers think of when they hear Linux. i have the feeling that those sufficiently clueful manage to install their own servers. I dread a situation where Debian becomes a distribuion based on what RH employees contribute on their spare time. Unless the state of the world seriously changes, it would be what RedHat employees contribute on their work time. Open Source is one of the foundations of the Linux community; if RedHat went against that, a good number would choose another distro. (and yes, a good number would stay as well) Please tell me I am wrong! :) You're wrong (:
Leased line (Part II). Relations.
Hello! I am establishing the leased line on Debian HAMM with kernel 2.0.36 with pppd 2.3.5 (posted 2 days ago). And I have new ideas about relatiions. This server was preconfigured by another engineer. It was configured for dial-up connect via diald. I knew that diald uses slip driver into kernel. But I don't know about its tricks with ppp. Do I have to recompile the kernel with native ppp driver?... My server is configured with IPmasq and ipfw riles... I don't sure, I guess that IP rules works on established IP... But... May be relations on LCP-ConfReq packets on pppd?... Note: Some from previous letter... I'm configuring leased line to my ISP. ISP has a Cisco router. When I try to connect the pppd hangs up the line after 10 (by default) sended LCP ConfReq packets. No other messages in /var/log/ppp.log with debug and kdebug 7 options in /etc/ppp/options. ... sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 asyncmap 0x0 magic 0xbb31 pcomp accomp] (doesn't matter.

RE: Changing IP address
'k you are using a special case :). Normally ISPs like to seperate networks into subnets, guess they think that its too much of a hassle. Pipeline does have a configuration program that makes it easer to play with the router. With only getting three ip addresses you're kinda screwed, and have only two options that I can think of. Option #1 - use the settings that he gave you and live with the router dialing out. Option #2 - drop a second network card in your linux box and use ipmasq for an internal network. Sorry that this has been such a pain. --Dano
RE: Laplink and DOS?
I've got a Debian-box, a small laptop with DOS, and a Laplink cable. What is an easy method to connet the Debian-box and DOS-box with the Laplink-cable so that I could easily at least copy files from the othe machine to the other? (The Debian box hasn't got any DOS-partition, so that I need some kind of Debian program there, but which kind of program?) Running Laplink on your Debian box under dosemu is the most obvious way to go (although, I haven't tried it); you may also be able to create a PPP or SL/IP link using a null modem cable, although you would have to find a DOS ppp or SL/IP program (there may be something suitable amongst the Crynwyr (?sp) packet drivers). I'm not sure if the LapLink cable is a 'proper' null modem cable, but it may be... A bit old fashioned but I am using kermit (doskermit, ckermit, there was a .deb for this). I have a DOS-laptop (8086, without floppy drive) connected with a null modem cable to my Debian box. It works OK for transferring files between the systems. Joop

S'funny, I thought sendmail had become simpler with the improvements in the M4 config. But if that is what you are doing the MTA is pretty irrelevant, IMHO. There should be nothing you need to do, because if the host is not answering the mail will be queued. That is how SMTP works. Unless you are serving the remote WAN hosts with dynamic IP addresses. And then the problem is not with the MTA, but with the name server. What you need is dynamic updating of your name server config, giving the host, when it is off line, an IP address (in the DNS config) that will never be used. And when it connects, adjusting named.hosts (e.g. with an include file) and running named.reload. Incidentally, I notice that smail is the MTA favoured by Debian. --Mike

Thanks, []s, Mario O.de MenezesMany are the plans in a man's heart, but IPEN-CNEN/SP is the Lord's purpose that prevails http://curiango.ipen.br/~mario Prov. 19.21

Re: OFFTOPIC: SDRAM PC100
The question is: if I buy a SDRAM PC100 chip, will it work on a computer with bus speed of 66Mhz ? Nope. Really? I thought that the ONLY difference between SDRAM for 66mhz and PC100 SDRAM for 100mhz was the access time (8ns vs 10ns). If they are both 72pin dimms, SDRAM (NOT ECC), and 3.3v why won't the faster one work in the slower computer? Faster EDO dram works in a slower computer (that also takes EDO), it is only a waste of money (unless you plan on upgrading to a faster cpu and the mother board can be strapped to go faster). === Amateur Radio, when all else fails! http://www.qsl.net/wa2mze Debian Gnu Linux, Live Free or . _ Do You Yahoo!?

I bought 2 128MB PC100 for my 66MHz ASUS, hoping that the dimms would still be usable when I get a new motherboard someday. I ran memtest86 for about 24 hours, no problems, and have been running fine ever since (several months). I started having problems recently (filesystem errors and signal 11) so I ran memtest86 again and one of the dimms has gone bad. I took it out and put back in an old regular 32MB dimm, and the two mixed togeter (160MB) ran memtest86 fine overnight, and seems OK after about a week. I don't know why the dimm went bad. I wouldn't think it's because the 100/66MHz issue. Please explain why you think PC100 shouldn't be in a 66MHz board. Do you have any ponters to info on the web? - REPLY: Dimms were made in two flavors EDO and SDRAM. They are also made in two voltages 3.3 and 5. If your computer is strapped for 5 volts you might be able to run a 3.3v dimm for a while, before it overheated and died. I don't think you can mix sdrams and edo's. === Amateur Radio, when all else fails! http://www.qsl.net/wa2mze Debian Gnu Linux, Live Free or . _ Do You Yahoo!?

Going by the numbers that you sent, your home network and theirs are one network with the same network number and broadcast number. And why your router calls out whenever a broadcast packet is sent. Dan, Thanks for the information. I was kind of thinking that they had a problem with what they gave me. (see below). Now, provided that the numbers for your range are correct, your linux box is trying to take the broadcast number for your home network. And yes, the first number in a range is the network number (even) and the last is the broadcast number (odd), your reasoning looks good to me. Gonna take a little work to straighten it out. You should call your ISP and varify your home network numbers. Yell at 'em if they give you a wrong subnet, its a major security hole for both you and them. (Unless you are using your office's network, then different rules apply). Both your win95 and linux boxes need the same subnetmask number. You'll need to change you linux box's ip to something other than 103 (100 looks good). You should also change your router's subnet to match (204.178.54.101/29 if the router doen't like it try /21, some routers drop the first 8 bits) and change its network and broadcast numbers. You will also probably have to change the route in the router to point to the new network. I hope I haven't forgoten anything. Now, don't you just love computers and networks? Humm Basically, my ISP gave me three IP addresses (I had to twist his arm as normally he changes A LOT more for static IP addresses. I have .101, .102, and .103 on his network with .253 being his system. His suggestion is to use 255.255.255.0 for the netmask, with .0 for the network and .255 for the broadcast address. I have asked him a few question on this issue and I think he is already getting tired of me! :O Oh, one more piece of information If I pull the power on my router, my pc can't connect to the samba on the linux at all! I have the feeling that if I push to much, I am going to become a internet orphan again. In my location, I am having a very hard time trying to get ISDN service within my local calling area. I am basically waiting for DSL to arrive later this summer. This said... Is there any way for me to use the three IP addresses they assigned to me? I know the router (pipeline 50) has some fancy features and maybe they can help. I tried the following this morning after your last message. IPADDR .103 Can I know the pipeline 50 has filters, DHCP, NAT, and other fancy features. Unfortunately, I do not have a manual for the device. This is probably not your real problem, but you can download the Pipeline manuals from www.ascend.com.

Deb v2.1 vs. potato question
Hello, I have one server on 'bo' (I think) for about 18 months. I decided it was time to update and build a small server to load the new (maybe just newer) version of Debian. I ordered the cd and got Deb v2.1 The install was very smooth. I installed with the Web server plus option. I am close to having the base system operational. I have been working on my IP Masq commands and it seems a lot of the discussions on IP Masq are on 'ipchains', which is in the 2.2.x kernels. Should I go ahead to potato now? Is there an upgrade script? Thanks. -- Gregory Wood Farsight Computer 1219 W University Blvd Odessa TX 79764 Voice: 1-915-335-0879 CT Pioneers Board Member Novell CNE Appgen VAR
Re: help! install with DOS-lost HD on boot
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Home with the school computer for summer... I wanted to redo my drive layout due to very limited space, squeezing out OS/2 and Windows for Linux. I've lost my Linux drives, though. I am hoping someone could point out where I screwed up, and suggest a way to avoid reinstalling (or doing it right ;). If you haven't written to those ext2 partitions since the screw-up, you *should* be able to recover... After backing up critical files to a new-but-old 430 Mb HD (hdb), I wiped all partitions on hda, created a 100 Mb fat DOS partition, 2 primaries for root and swap, then 3 logicals on the rest of hda for /var, /home, and /usr. Install of 2.1 went well from CD. Set up LILO as my boot manager. Rebooted to a DOS floppy to check, and then format C (it saw the partition as 90 Mb instead of 100--did I choose the wrong fs type?)... Probably not, we'll see soon... more likely the FORMAT program counts differently or measures its usable space. Also remember that 100,000,000 is really about 95 megabytes (where a megabyte is 1024*1024 bytes). ...Booted into Linux. Untarred the old DOS system onto the C partition, modified lilo.conf, and ran lilo. This led to the inability to boot DOS (non-system disk or disk error ... or whatever it was). So LILO was able to boot at this point, right? But when you told LILO to start the DOS partiton DOS didn't see it as a system disk, correct? I think there's a DOS command sys (sorry, it's been a long time) that copies (from a bootable floppy) the necessary stuff to a hard drive partition -- so you could boot from a DOS A: drive, be sure you can see C:, and then say sys C: -- it should say system files transferred or something to that effect . Someone else more familiar with (recent versions of) DOS can probably offer advice here. Using cfdisk I reset both hda1 and hda2 as bootable (1st--DOS, 2nd--Debian) and wrote to disk. Re-read error reported by cfdisk. Reboot led to an inability to boot LILO at all. AFAIK the bootable flag isn't used by LILO or by Linux -- I wonder whether DOS is confused if you more than one bootable partition at the same time? I seem to recall switching the bootable partition from one partition to another back in my pre-Linux days, but never having more than one bootable at the same time. Maybe someone else knows whether that's part of your mistake. An old Linux rescue disk taught me to make a new one at some future point :( I didn't realize it was set to another partition, and I don't know how to change that.. ). A DOS floppy allowed me to again reformat the C drive, install DOS/Win31 for my kids' games, and boot directly to DOS. But I'd like to get the drive back to Linux control without a reinstall, if possible. Can I make a rescue floppy from the DOS partition, using the CD and skipping all other installation steps? Can someone let me know what step I would take to get this working afterwards? If your old Linux rescue disk is a Debian rescue disk, you should be able to bring up a command shell (with alt-F2, for example) after you tell it whether you have a color monitor or not (maybe even before)...certainly before it does anything to your hard drive. If you don't have a debian rescue disk, create one from the CD or download and create one from ftp.debian.org ... you probably just need resc1440.bin and a working linux/unix system (to run the 'dd' command) or the DOS rawrite.exe from the same ftp site to create the bootable debian rescue disk under DOS. In either case, boot from a recent debian rescue disk, and get yourself to the shell prompt. Run 'fdisk /dev/hda' and use (ONLY!) the p (print) command to see what your partition table looks like. Post that output here (if necessary, you can mount a scratch floppy drive (the debian rescue disk can be removed) and copy the fdisk output to the floppy to transfer it to your working system ). IF all your partitions are still correctly allocated, skip the next paragraph. If you find that not all your partitions are listed by the p command, there's a nice tool called 'gpart' that guesses the partitions on your hard disk, by reading the raw disk and looking for various fingerprints, and tells you what it thinks it found. I have recently debianized that tool, but have not been able to upload it (still waiting for maintainer status). If you need it, call or write and I'll help you get it and use it. So now your partition table is correct, right? All you should have to do is edit your lilo.conf and run lilo to install it. *Something* like the following is probably what you need. Post your previous lilo.conf here and maybe we can figure out what you did wrong the first time. - boot=/dev/hda compact install=/boot/boot.b map=/boot/map lock prompt timeout=50 delay=10 other=/dev/hda1 table=/dev/hda label=dos image=/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 read-only label=linux -
