Wouldn't it be nice if they split their program up into Something like 7 file each 10MB instead of one big 70MB file? Star Office is working fine again, but I agree with you, there should be some splitted files or even an image of a complete installation of StarOffice for repair issues on the StarDivision server. By the way, StarOffice is quite slow and it doesn't display the names of the Xfstt fonts in the font list box (don't know why, fonts can be used by typing the name into the box!).

Re: VMWare running Debian on NT
*- On 23 Aug, Jeff Flowers wrote about VMWare running Debian on NT Can anyone point me to url about using Slink with VMWare? I haven't found anything but I'm sure someone here will know. Search the Debian-user archives at http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives for vmware. Use the search engine at the bottom of the page. The main problem is that vmware expects the current kernel headers to be in /usr/include/linux and Debian has a policy of placing only the kernel headers for 'the supported' kernel in there. You either have to make a link for /usr/include/linux or modify the Makefiles in the tar files that are in the vmware-distrib directory. Word is that vmware will hopefully be adding an option to tell it where the kernel headers are instead of assumming the default of /usr/include/linux. -- Brian - Mechanical Engineering [EMAIL PROTECTED] Purdue University http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis -

X Help
Howdy all. I just had to install Red Hat 6.0 on a workstation at work (I was rooting for Debian but they said nope) and I've got X up and running fine sort of. When you exit out of X the terminal screens (all of them) give jumbled charachters all over the screen and the only way to get things back to normal is a reboot. I configured X using the XConfigurator that comes with RH6.0 and the Video Card and the monitor were both there in the list of hardware. Can anyone lend me a hand with figuring out why X when logging out screws everything up. Thanks. The config file that the server is using can be found here: http://simon.jojosarfo.org/XF86Config

SCSI Drive Geometry Question
Hello All, I recently had a defective IBM SCSI drive replaced, and I have been having some wierd problems with the replacement drive. When I first put the replacement into my system, my SCSI BIOS complained that the reported geometry of 1020/141/62 (C/H/S) was incorrect and that a head/sector paramter of 255/63 was expected. It told me that any OS other than DOS would have a problem with the drive. I installed Debian anyway and, after configuring LILO around the problem, ended up with a bootable system. My problem was that I still got an annoying error message from my SCSI BIOS when I boot my machine. I did a low-level format of the drive and all of a sudden it was reporting the correct drive geometry of 555/255/63, which is the same geometry that my original drive always reported. After the low-level format, I installed Debian again, and when I rebooted for the first time after the system installation, I got the error message again. Is the replacement drive damaged or is their some kind of SCSI LBA-mode type of addressing that I need to set somewhere? SCSI Devices are not my specialty :) Some Useful Info: SCSI Controller: Tekram DC-390F SCSI Drive: IBM Ultrastar 9ES 4.5GB LVD, ID 6, LUN 0 Any ideas?

smail relay spamming
Hi I am having problems with spam relay. I am using smail 3.2 1996-Jul-4 #2 which doesn't seem to support the security attribute smtp_remote_allow. What do i need in order to make this attribute work? is there any other viable alternative to smail... qmail perhaps? Ps. does anyone know what a file with an extension .unk is??? I think it is an archived file but i am unsure to its format. thanx

Now that I've commented out all of the virtual host settings lynx now runs when I type lynx localhost. And when I type apachectl I now get a message saying httpd is already running. Yipee!!! Now to figure out which conf file is causing this error when I type lynx at the command line: Alert!

Re: SCSI Drive Geometry Question
[EMAIL PROTECTED] said: I still got an annoying error message from my SCSI BIOS when I boot my machine. I did a low-level format of the drive and all of a sudden it was reporting the correct drive geometry of 555/255/63, which is the same geometry that my original drive always reported. After the low-level format, I installed Debian again, and when I rebooted for the first time after the system installation, I got the error message again. Is the replacement drive damaged or is their some kind of SCSI LBA-mode type of addressing that I need to set somewhere? SCSI Devices are not my specialty :) Hi! I had the same problem. My IBM drive was reported as 1115/255/63 by the SCSI bios when I first installed it, but after Linux was installed I got the same error message as you did. I checked what cfdisk said about my drive, and it reported totally wrong C/H/S information, cant remember the exact figures now. However, you can when you start cfdisk pass some parameters to it, namely the Cylinder, Heads and Sectors information. So a 'cfdisk -c 555 -h 255 -s 63 /dev/what-ever-diskdevice-it-is' will partition your disk with the right information. When you are about to install Debian, just switch to another console before partition your drive, and do it yourself with the above commandline. Then proceed as usual. When you use cfdisk later, the drive will have the correct geometry, and your scsi bios should not complain. My Tekram SCSI board also has a swith in it's bios to disable the warning. /Marcus

Hi all, I use fvwm2 as a window manager in slink. In /etc/X11/fvwm2/system.fvwm2rc, the FvwmPager module is started with one desk, after .fvwm2/post.hook is read.

Luckily the one I added is on top most of the time, but sometimes it isn't. Is there a way to make fvwm2 stop processing the configuration files in .fvwm2/post.hook?

I have now received a message from 3Com after sending email to a tech (it took three or four tries through an extremely irritating loop on their web page to find an email address), saying that as of June 1999, these flash upgrades have been discontinued.

My lilo.conf look like that: boot=/dev/fd0 map=/floppy/map linear image=/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda1 label=linux read-only other=/dev/sda1 table=/dev/sda label=dos I've even tried to remap the disk and added map-drive=0x80 to=0x82 map-drive=0x82 to=0x80 to the other= section. I always get the LILO: prompt and type in dos. Then the nothing happens and I have to reboot the system. Can you help me? Armin

Does this linux support the NCR 53C710 scsi chip ?

mozilla M8, but compiled for slink
Hi,
I downloaded and installed the slink-mozilla debs. However, when
I tried to run mozilla I get:
MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/local/mozilla/package
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/mozilla/package
MOZ_PROGRAM=./viewer
moz_debug=0
moz_debugger=
Going to create the event queue
Gtk-WARNING **: /usr/lib/libgdk_imlib.so.1: undefined
symbol: gdk_root_parent
.//run-mozilla.sh: line 29: 2093 Segmentation fault $prog ${1+$@}
I'm running slink with the 2.2.9 kernel. I'm using the gtk, imlib, libglib,
and gdk packages from:
http://www.debian.org/~jim/debian-gtk-gnome.old/gnome-stage-slink/dists/slink/main/
I really am jonesing for some hot mozilla action, so any help you can
provide would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi people,
You can find mozilla .debs compiled for glibc2.0 (slink version) here:
http://pandora.debian.org/~joy/slink/
They worked on a mostly-slink system I tried them on.
I guess I should put a recompiled libgtk1.2 and libglib1.2 there, too...
tell me if anything else is needed.
And sorry for the crosspost.

re: Kernel 2.2.10 and Stallion Brumby 4 port serial card
I have a Stallion Brumby Multiport intelligent serial card. 4 port model. I had this card working fine under 2.0.x series of kernels, and had it compiled in as part of the kernel. I followed the info in the readme's for the card, and edited /usr/src/linux-`kernel version`\char\istallion.c to point to the io and memory address of the card. Anyways the problem is, when using 2.2.10 kernel, doing the same steps and editing the correct file, and then compiling the card in as part of the kernel, the system at boot time with the new kernel never finds the card. Anyone got this problem, and if so, did the get the card working. I have a Stallion EASYIO card which is non-intelligent and it also has the same problem. Those that can help, feel free to email me directly, as I am not part of the list. Thanks
ipconfig eth0:1 down doesnt do what i think it would
Hi, i have added eth0:1 with the ip of my static ip assigned by my isp, which is only supposed to be up on the local network when my connection to my isp goes down. however when my connection comes back up i get ip-up to run ifconfig eth0:1 down to remove it except this also removes eth0 which is obviously a bit of a problem. I would prefer to be forcing any localnetwork connects through forwarding rules rather than leave the ip up on the local network interface as eth0:1. what is the command to just remove eth0:1 without removing eth0 btw if i try ipconfig eth0 up after eth0:1 down removes it, then eth0:1 comes back. i am just guessing (about to try) tacking eth0 down and adding eth0 again rather than bringing it up. whats the correct command to remove eth0:1 without removing eth0 thanks meridian [EMAIL PROTECTED] all that busts well ends loosely.

The problem was: It exited with code 1 I have tried mozilla some time ago, so I still had a .mozilla directory from an older version. Stracing the program I noticed It stopped after searching the entire registry file. The fix was simply to remove the ~/.mozilla directory and restart it. It then created all files it needed and ran fine. I guess I should put a recompiled libgtk1.2 and libglib1.2 there, too... tell me if anything else is needed.

Re: slink -- potatoe (hi dan quayle! :)
seth supplied, btw -- the reason why I decided to try debian was its users -- many of the users evangelize debian, absolutely lauding it. The support. Oh, and the support :) Every year or two something gets me irked, and I go play with FreeBSD. Just try to get a question answered there. I don't think that one in twenty questions to freebsd-questions ever get answered. Here, you usually have an answer in hours, even on the exotic stuff (which fate seems to have decreed is the only type of problem that I'm ever to have :). And the people are nice. And almost everything almost always works, especially if you stay with stable. So I had to try it. So far it seems like the perfict fit for me. the users I have seen mention it though didn't carry a holier-than-thou attitude with them -- users that like their way of doing things, since many did things the other way before. Yes, debian does seem to have somewhat less of that. And I'm much calmer since I figured out how to edit the GNU/ out of /etc/issue. You all seem like a nice bunch of folks. If you keep it up, you will probably keep getting more converts. :) (Heck, I liked the idea enough that *I* want to be a debian developer -- just no clue what to develop. heh heh. :) oops, now you've done it. You've volunteered for *anything*. There's still a backlog of orphaned packages waiting for adoption. Subscribe to the developers' list, and I'm sure they'll be happy to hand you a couple . . .

Re: parport0 has no irq.
Hi, I've set up my system for PLIP, and when I try to load the plip module, I get an error message that parport0 has no IRQ. When trying to load the module with parameters (i.e. insmod plip irq=5), the system complains that irq is an invalid parameter. Hi, I've had the same problem with plip. I solved it by running: echo 5 /proc/parport/0/irq on startup (But it should be ran, before the module plip is loaded. (BTW: This will only work with any 2.2.x kernel I suppose, cause kernel 2.0.x doesn't has a /proc/parport directory. There should be a better way, but I don't know anything better.

Re: HELP: 3Com 509B(or 900B TP0) Network Problem
I remember I had some problems with some 3com, because of the PnP. I remember I had to find their drivers and *_disable_the_PnP_*. After this Win98 (from the win98 CD) drivers were not working with the card, but Linux and FreeBSD were perfect. There were also Win98 drivers from the net for cards with disabled PnP.

Dan This is just a shot in the dark; perhaps you have two or more DNS servers listed, and they are reversed on his machine vs yours, or there's a typo in the list. I'm thinking that maybe locally your friend's system sees the local net pretty easily, but when it hits remote sites it's looking to a bum DNS server, tries for a while, then hits the secondary but good DNS and finds the site. This doesn't really make sense, because it seems to me (I'm not well-versed in networking) that once the remote machine's IP is found, the transfer would go at normal speeds; it would just be the initial look-up that would cause a delay. But like I said, this is just a shot in the dark.
Need tips on using apt with src
I recently tried using apt pointed at the source codes on potato. I want to try getting it to compile several applications to run on slink. This seemed to work until apt tried to compile the app (newt30) that I wanted. It kept giving error codes and failed to compile. I read all the docs and checked for mail on this, no luck. Anyone had any positive results doing this? I think this is a great idea if it can be made to work. The error codes seemed to be based on several dependencies. I tried several different app sources ( slang, apt, etc.) with no positive results. I also noted that apt created a directory with the app name also. I thought it was supposed to build a .deb file and install it. Any thoughts on that? -- John Foster AdVance-Computing Systems [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ# 19460173

Traffic to this network is extremely slow for my friend but normal ethernet speeds for me. I hope that clears it up. The other weird aspect of this problem is that transfers made by a machine outside the residential network to his machine go at full ethernet speed as well. For example, using ftp on an machine outside the residential network to copy a file to his machine goes at about 200kB/s. Using ftp to copy a file from his machine to a machine outside the residential network goes in ~30kB/s bursts with a few seconds between bursts. I get roughly same speed (200kB/s) in both directions. If it helps the external machine we're connecting to is a Sun box running SunOS 5.6. Oh, and before you think it's an ftp problem, this affects all other protocols (including ICMP if the bing results are any indication). And there's no measurable packet loss. Again, a shot in the dark, and probably useless. Is his Linux side using the same IP address as the Windows98 side? If you're using DHCP, you might temporarily firmcode the Win98 IP address on the Linux side and see if that makes a difference. Probably not, but maybe worth a try. Also, is his NIC on the same IRQ/IOBase on the two platforms? Perhaps that might lead to a clue.
[Debian] Multiport Ethernet boards?
Howdy, I believe somebody posted a message about this some time ago but I couldn't find it in the archives (actualy I don't know what to look for :-). I want to build a router using a PC running Linux. Unfortunately there aren't enough PCI slots to accomodate all networkadapters. Are there any multiport ethernet adapters around that are supported by Linux? Considering I want to build a router with 9 network interfaces (preferably 100Base-Tx but I guess that's too much to ask for :-), what kind of PC should I use (it will only do routing and maybe DNS). Will a Pentium 233MMX do the trick or should I go for a PIII 550. Will 64MB do or should I use 128MB, will the amount of memory have any impact at all on the performance. I figure the PCI bus will probably be the bottleneck here. Isn't there a Linux-router or something like that around? Nico -- How do you tell when you run out of invisible ink?

The main problem with building the sources is that the debian source packages do not have any kind of dependencies like the binary packages do. So apt does not know that you need a certain -dev package to compile the package of interest. If a package build fails during a compile it will usually fail on a missing header file. Try using the contents search at http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages.html to find out what binary package contains that header. Another rule of thumb that I use is to look at the package dependices and if for example it needs libc6 then it will most likely need libc6-dev installed to be able to compile. Yes it will create a directory read the apt-get man page. It has to extract the source archive somewhere. If the build is successfull you will have the .deb and the source tree in the current directory where you ran apt-get. I have created a directory for all my source packages and just cd to it before running apt-get source. If it built it succsefully you then have to manually install with dpkg -i. -- Brian - Mechanical Engineering [EMAIL PROTECTED] Purdue University http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis -
