Once it does threading as well as mutt, I'll look into it seriously. To make it easy for newbies to migrate, we replace their components one a time under Windows using a windows port of dpkg: Outlook Express -> Mahogany Word-> AbiWord Excel -> Gnumeric Command.com -> bash (or zsh) with the cygnus tools Photoshop -> Gimp IE -> Mozilla a lot of other programs exist for unix that look and function like their windows counterparts (like icq stuff, xmms, IglooFTP/gftp, et. al). and then the kicker: Explorer's UI -> LiteStep (Afterstep/WindowMaker for windows) Gradually, a little at a time, we get them used to it. Then, we replace the kernel. An experienced user helps them set it up, and they already know how to use the programs. Voila!

PCL 5 and Magicfilter
Hi Everybody, I have a Winprinter :( and it can simulate PCL5 with 600dpi resolution. The printer is connected to a win machine and I use samba to print to it. The question is which device should I use for magic filter configuration? Currently, I have set up the filter to use laserjet (which is, I think, PCL2 with 300 dpi).Definitely, it is not 600dpi. Thank you, ZORO Take these broken wings and learn to fly... ///|\\\ 0 0 ( . )http://pages.nyu.edu/~rqf6512 - | |
escaping novell network and 21041 ethernet card
The new^h^h^h machine waiting on my desk when I arrived here was, as I expected, on the dark side. I've performed the preliminary exorcisms, but can't get the network going. This thing is on a novell network, and has an SMC ethernet card with a dec 21041 chip. The de4x5 module installs just fine, but I can't get the network to start. I've looked at the howto, but the only novell references seem to be about using novell servers (which is one of next week's tasks). For the moment, I just want this working;. Under windows, it seems to have the same IP address every time. I can ping & traceroute this address once I telnet out, and it seems to be the same one every time. There is only one hop at the university before this mac hine, and it is at 1.1 in the Class A domain for the University. I've told the network configuration that this is my rooter. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get the network running? The prospect of using windows and word is more than a little chilling . . . rick

I personally don't see the point in having an unnecessary step with the
process of mail delivery. I also get rid of problems with domain set up
with Exim (no, not the :localhost thing). So, fetchmail just calls
procmail directly:
poll "mail.globalnet.co.uk" protocol POP3 username "dufas" password
"mypass" mda "procmail -d smaug" options fetchall
That's all one line, and I use it with an account where mail can be
addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED], or any other value for XYZ,
including [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Ultra-basic .procmailrc which will put mail into a single mailbox (set
with the "DEFAULT:" part):
-- Start ---
PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin:/home/smaug/bin
MAILDIR=/home/smaug/mail
LOGFILE=/home/smaug/mail/.log/procmail.log
VERBOSE=ON
LOGABSTRACT=all
SHELL=/bin/sh
TMPDIR=/tmp
DEFAULT=/home/smaug/mail/inbox
--- End ---
I sort my mail into mailboxes like ~/mail/lists/debian-user/1999-08 so
no single mbox can get too large. Handy for getting rid of old mail,
too.
Simple delivery recipe for new users, so they don't have to figure it
out from the many examples:
--- Start ---
# Freshmeat
:0:
* [EMAIL PROTECTED]
/home/smaug/mail/lists/freshmeat/${MONTHSTRING}
--- End ---
I have ${MONTHSTRING} set with "MONTHSTRING=`date +%Y-%m`" right at the
top of my procmailrc. (Note: It would be "^From:.*", but apparently the
From: header might not have the colon (it's an RFC thing)).
And lets throw in another couple just for the sake of it. Maybe I'll add
a header to certain posts or something so that my .sig is changed to
"Campaign For Proper Sig Delimiters" when I reply to various posts...

Yes, I know that one's fork()-intensive, but it's perfectly fast enough

Well, at the end of the install, we just need modules that will insmod with the kernel that will be running when the user will use vmware. But I don't think I will propose to build modules other than for the running kernel, because clueless users don't upgrade their kernel that often, and advanced users will figure out that they have to do something like make KERNEL_HEADER=/foo/bar/my_kernel_version to do what they want. > Will this new and improved install script(and Makefiles) be made > available before the next point release of vmware?

Modem/PPP Problems
PPP is setup and configured, and it works fine, only the connect speed is never reported. If I look in /var/log/messages it just says "CONNECT" with no speed. I've tried a bunch of init strings (Including the one I use in Windows for the same modem), but nothing seems to work. The modem I'm using is a USRobotics Sportster 56K External Data/Fax. Ultimately, I'd like for connect speed as well as the local and remote IPs to be echoed to the console when a connection is established. Thanks, Kelly Lesperance

I migrated from tcsh to zsh; it's a pretty easy migration. zsh is very similar to bash, but it has extra features like tab completion and it also has special tcsh-style features that can be enabled to ease the transition from tcsh (over the years, I turned them all off..). -- see shy jo

This doesn't have anything to do with the filesystem. It means that
something in the virtual memory system is messed up. This can be caused
by a kernel bug or by bad hardware (bad RAM mostly, overclocking, or
wrong BIOS settings).

Unix statements on them: "vi is better than emacs", "BSD is better

"NEWS is better than X", "motif is beautiful", and so on.

SMTP should be no more inefficient that HTTP--the data transmission happens in more-or-less the same way. It probably isn't sendmail's fault either since I've seen it with sendmail, smail and exim at various ends of the connection. Maybe the SMTP servers at our respective ISPs are under heavy load?

Thank you. My personal take on this is that these reasons were true
with libc5 and they are not true anymore with libc6. That's why it is
time to argue again. My /usr/include contains links to my kernel
headers, I upgrade my kernel often, and nothing breaks when I
compile. I think that the glibc headers do a far better job to
isolate the kernel headers than the libc5 headers, and this is
probably due to the fact that glibc headers are very portable.

I would love to see Debian switch to what the FHS 2.0 recommends.

Thank you for this excellent pointer. As Ben Gertzfield, I do a lot of
kernel development, and it is really cool to have the symlinks. That's
why I didn't noticed the installation problem, btw.
Anyway, my point is not to have you guys modify the policy. My point
is to know what to do with vmware. I will probably modify the install
script so that it prompts the user for the location of the running
kernel headers.
Thanks for helping me in finding a solution that will benefit both
VMware and Debian,

Yes, the installation is texed based but the install menu is well layed out, understandable, and it works if you take the time to work your way through it. I have had PPP up and running with no more than a 'pppconfig' and adding myself to the dialout group so that I didn't have to su myself to run pon/poff. Printing sets up well and easilly with magicfilter and lprng... assuming you installed the kernel paralell drivers.

While for many custom configurations reading the HOWTOs are a must, I have yet to install a debian package and not have it up and running with atleast a base configuration right 'out of the box,' so to speak. Some things(eg. SAMBA) need an edit of the .conf file to tell it what services you want to serve, but these are nicely documented by the pre/post installation scripts. And while, yes, the file structures are different, a simple 'find' or 'locate' can easily find the files. As to X... X is definately the most complex thing to install on ANY linux system... I have had several instances where XF86Setup would not work, but xf86config set X up just fine without any problems. Admittedly you need to know quite a bit more about your Graphics Card and Monitor than you do under other OSes, but it is definately possible. Also, unless you have _identical_ hardware configurations, sharing XR86Config files is a bad idea... the XFree86 FAQ has tales of several BadThings(tm) that can happen by doing this... as the XF86Config file is specific to each videocard/ monitor combination. > If this becomes too frustrating, install Slackware or > Caldera Linux.

A newbie friend wanted to install Linux, and he ordered a RedHat 5.2 CD from Cheapbytes, much to my chagrin. I tried to help him install it, but after 4 hours of trying to configure ppp, (me with 3+ years of experience with all sorts of distributions), we gave up. Two weeks later, I got him to try Debian and all it took was one run of 'pppconfig' and 'pon' and we were up and running. Doesn't get any easier than that! As far as your printer problems are concerned, have you tried the magic filter package in combination with lprng? The Printing-HOWTO suggests that, and it works like a charm.

I no longer get any boot-up errors, and lockd seems to be running OK. However, kexpress/gdbm still can't generate locks. Wordperfect works OK, though.

Well, fear no more! For a limited period only, you too can have those
lines stripped off -- completely free!
Add the following to your .procmailrc:
--- Begin ---
# Remove last X .sig-lines from debian-* mailing lists
:0
* ^X-Mailing-List:.*debian
{
# Debian-user has 6 useless lines
:0 fbw
* ^X-Mailing-List:.*debian-user

# These have 7 useless lines

# /^\
# NOTE: On above line, the digit shown is:
# (number of lines you want removed)-1
Since I only read a couple of the debian lists, I haven't looked at the
others. It's easy enough to add 'em, though.
I also strip useless headers, but that's easy enough to figure out.
I've got a strange feeling I've messed something up somewhere, so try
not to shout at me if I have, okay?

Re: Apache-SSL "suppresses" inlime images?
Ralf,
Don't know that I have an answer, but a question. How are standard port 80
connections being made to Apache-SSL? By default it runs on port 443.
The only thing I've seen like this is when a page accessed via https
contains full URLs ("http://whatever";). The ssl server views those
elements as insecure and refuses to load them. Not the same as your
situation, but perhaps a clue.

Xemacs configuration question
(1) I want to get Xemacs to recognize *.tcl and *.itcl
files.
(2) I want to change the background color from gray to
white.
(3) I want to color highlight the keyword in source.tcl
and source.itcl files
What will I have to change to accomplish this.
I have been trying various things unsuccefully.
My .emacs file look like the attached file. It is in text format.
What do you recommend that I change?

Debian, admittedly, is one of the most primitive Linux installations I've ever used. Among the problems are the fact that no matter what you tell it during installation about your intended configuration, it sets everything up not to work. You'll find the same problem with ppp which is most likely set up to deny all access and printing which is most likely not set up at all. You have to read each of the HOWTO's and manually configure each thing. This can sometimes be difficult because different flavors of Linux make subtle changes to the base so some of the HOWTO's don't apply any more (Caldera and yp fer instance). Since I still haven't managed to fully configure my Debian system, all I know is that the HOWTO isn't always enough. I grabbed my XF86Config from Slackware Linux and it worked OK. I'll be glad to send you a copy of it as a start. If this becomes too frustrating, install Slackware or Caldera Linux. They have some problems too, but after installation, they're configured to work.

Network Problems
I'm currently having problems with my network, and I'd like to know the best way to go about diagnosing the problem. Are there any utilities that I can use to assist in this process? The problem seems to be that whenever large amounts of information are sent accross the lan to one machine (bristlenose) it freezes, but not when the same info is passed across the network the other way. An example of this is: I log into bristlenose from arowana and cat /vmlinuz and it works fine (the terminal needs to be reset, but it works) I log into arowana from bristlenose and cat /vmlinuz and it is jerky, with the pauses becomming longer until it finally stops altogether, halfway through. This affects almost everythign I do on the net, as arowana currently acts as my gateway, and bristlenose as the client, so sending mail works fine, but retrieving it doesn't. (although retrieving it to arowana works fine) Any help solving this is greatly appreciated, Andrew Clark. PS.

If I recall correctly, the discussion mentioned looking for a /dev/hdd. If it is set to slave, hooked to your secondary IDE controller and has power, I don't know what to say.

uploads over modem are SLOOOOOW!
Hi all, I connect via dial-up with a usual connect of 50666/ARQ/V90/LAPM/V42BIS. When I send a large email with attachments or upload a file it is VERY SLOW. Watching the traffic on something like pppload or wmppp show only short bursts of intermintent traffic, often there is a 5-7 second pause between the upload bursts. I don't have any problems with dowloads. I don't set mtu or mru in the ppp config files, after the link is up ifconfig shows that mtu is set at 1500. My latest upload test via ftp gave '725473 bytes sent in 1187.13 secs (0.6 kB/s)' and a download test gave '725473 bytes received in 133.82 secs (5.3 kB/s)'. That's a factor of 8.87 speed difference between download and upload! Do I have to live with this or do I have something configured wrong. I am running kernel 2.2.11 and ppp 2.3.7-3.

Network card seizes! suggestions?
Hi I have a problem I have never encountered before with 10 Debian boxes. The problem is every now and again, particularly during large transfers of files by either ftp or samba, the network card on the computer just stops! The network card is an ne2000 compatible one (or at least that is the network driver that works with it!) and when this occurs, I cannot do anything to "restart" the network card going again. I have tried removing the ne.o module but I can't as it says the device is in use. Instead I have to do a tedious reboot on this old 486 Dx2 Gateway machine which I have running Debian 2.1. Has anyone encountered this before ? Any suggestions welcome. Yours (trying to make an old 486 useful) Cormac

restricted shell
Hi, I know of the existance of a restricted shell, though I'm not sure whether this is what I'm after. In time, I'll be moving away to another country, and I intend to leave my home computer with the current users configured, ie. root (of course), my sister, and I. I'd also like to create a "guest" user with some little (hence restricted) access. Is rsh what I should be looking for? Also, I'll need to access the computer both as root and as normal user remotely, via the inet, as I cannot give my sister root control (good ...! it took me a lot to convince her to give up windozing, then customize her account and installing some nice looking programs, etc... sadly enough, mutt doesn't offer a flowers bouquet with each new mail, so I had to give her XCMail ;-) ); is, in this case, ssh what I should be installing?

Why don't you just install libg++2.8.2-dev 2.91.60-5 (slink)? This contains the parts of libstdc++ that were gnu extensions and are dropped in favour of stl and friends in the newer versions. I think all you then need to do is after installation add a -lg++ flag when linking. It seems a good idea though to try to convert the code if you continue using it in the future, since libg++ is no longer actively maintained. HTH, Eric -- E.L.

Apache-SSL "suppresses" inlime images?
Hi, I have a very bizarre problem with Apache-SSL 1.3.3+1.29-2. Maybe one of you by chance can help me? Ok, here we go: I have a webpage that consists of static html pages, frames, inline images, and several Perl cgi scripts that dynamically create html pages. The server machine has two IP addresses: the external one visible from the Internet, and the internal one only visible from the LAN. When I access the server internally (i.e. I establish a connection to its internal IP address) I've no problems whatsoever. But when people access the machine from the Internet (talking to the external IP) it often "forgets" inlime images, i.e. Netscape only displays the "broken image" symbol. When they click reload it often shows more images, and after they've clicked a couple of times all images are there. The connection originates from the campus network and terminates in the campus network, i.e. there's no transmission problems, no network congestion. The connection is NOT a SSL connection, but a standard port-80, unencrypted http connection. I don't yet know whether things change if they use SSL because I've not yet asked them to try SSL. In the browser they're not using proxies, and by my instructions they've cleared memory and disk cache before trying to go to my page. There's NO errors in Apache's log file. The access log file does NOT show that the client tried to GET the missing images. The other images that are being displayed DO appear in the access log file. That could either mean that the client -- for whatever reason -- doesn't request them, OR that the server doesn't log and fill the request. Ok, that's bizarre, isn't it? Any ideas?!

You need a recent apt (for example apt-0.3.6.1 which by no doubt is
outdated by now) and apt.conf:
|[EMAIL PROTECTED]/121]:~$ cat /etc/apt/apt.conf
|Acquire
|{
| CDRom

| "/mnt/cdrom/"
| {

|UMount "umount /mnt/cdrom";
| }
|}
|}
|
|[EMAIL PROTECTED]/122]:~$
The smbmount command line is for a 2.0.x style kernel, that line must
mount the cd-rom without doing and interactive things like asking for
a password.

I haven't tried writing to 80 minute CD's, but I've written some that were just over 650Mb. Xcdroast doesn't seem to do an exact calculation of the available storage on the CD. I knew that my data should fit so I ignored the warning. The CD turned out okay. My advice is to try it. Xcdroast is just guessing anyway... and the cd-writer *should* take care of it. Bear in mind, I haven't tried this so I don't know for sure if it will work. Matthew

Re: SV: Configuring a monitor (and video card)?
For auto poweroff at shutdown, you need to compile the kernel with APM (Advanced Power Management). This isn't enable with the default kernel. Get your system up and running first. Remember to always use a command such as "halt", "poweroff", or "shutdown" to stop the machine. Then hit the power switch. -- Eric G. Miller Powered by the POTATO (http://www.debian.org)!
Re: Booting problems!
I've seen odd booting behavior from LILO before when BIOS settings were set to things that Linux couldn't understand/support. Other things I've tried and succeeded in Linux installations on some machines in the past is completely removing all but the ABSOLUTELY necessary hardware and reconfiguring the BIOS settings just to see if it'll make it through booting the kernel. If so, I start adding stuff until it fails again, and I've found the culprit. I am fresh out of ideas for you old man, but best of luck to you!

I was told by a local windows-guru that the automatic shut-off is a property of newer atx-boxes and mainboards. It might be a problem.

Fwd: Re: [Re: Vedr: Re: No network?]
Yes, this is surely your problem the 3c509 combo card has a BNC and a twisted pair port and possibly also an AUI port as well. You have the twisted pair (10baseT port chosen. It is changed by software. I've never tried it in linux, but in Windows NT4 and I think also 95 it can be set from the Network control panel. If you don't have that option, I think you probably need the diskette that came with the card. It will probably boot in dos and then allow you to change the port. If you don't have that, I think you can probably download the program from support.3com.com, put it on a dos boot disk and then be in business.
