/dev/hdc5 /usr/libext2 defaults 0 2 /dev/hdc6 /usrext2 defaults 0 2 Tienes que cambiar el orden de estas dos lineas y reiniciar el sistema (tienes que montar primero /usr para después poder montar /usr/lib) Ah espera un momento!. Antes de corregir tu fstab vas a tener que preparar tu sistema de ficheros. Me parece que hasta ahora lo que has hecho es usar unicamente hdc6 tanto para /usr como /usr/lib. Esto lo puedes comprobar haciendo: umount /dev/hdc5 que no te debe alterar nada. Después haz lo siguiente: mount /dev/hdc5 /mnt y copia el usr/lib allí: cp -av /usr/lib/ /mnt (la opción v es para que compruebes que realmente te copia como debe ser; por ejemplo: /usr/lib/dpkg --- /mnt/dpkg ...) A continuación borra todo lo que tienes en /usr/lib (tienes copia en /dev/hdc5, pero vale la pena comprobar con du /mnt y du /usr/lib que deben dar valores bastante pareecidos): rm -r /usr/lib/* (piensa bien antes de oprimir el enter, y si algo va mal, no me culpes a mi :-) Finalmente monta la /dev/hdc5 en /usr/lib y modifica el /etc/fstab poniendo la linea que tenias para el hdc5: /dev/hdc5 /usr/libext2 defaults 0 2 por debajo de la linea de hdc6. Ya deberá estar todo bien y continuar asi la próxima vez que hagas reset. Espero que esto te ayude. Jaime Villate

Rudimentary network questions.
I've read through the Networking-HOWTO several times and much of it still baffles me. What I'm trying to do is connect two computers, using one as a print server for my windows only printer. One thing I'm confused about is the assignment of 127.0.0.0 and 127.0.0.1 I've read that 127.0.0.1 is the loopback route. 127.0.0.0 for what I can gather is the top of the stack. I can ping both successfully on my computer. What I'm confused about is which to set my eth0 to? In /etc/init.d/network I have this, ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 route add -net 127.0.0.0 /etc/hosts is 127.0.0.1 xyf localhost /etc/networks localnet 127.0.0.0 When I run, ~# netstat -nr Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 127.0.0.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 3584 0 0 lo 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 3584 0 0 lo This is showing that I have two loopback routes. Is this correct? When I assign a route to my nic do I set it at 127.0.0.1 or 127.0.0.0 or neither? The computer that I'm going to connect to do I assign it 127.0.0.2? I know you can assign it anything (since this won't be connected to the net) but is this following convention? The other thing I'm having trouble with is the computer I wish to use as a server is a 386 with Windows 3.11 on it. It came with a card and at one time was on a network. There is a pop up when it boots that says, The NetWare Shell has not been loaded. All network functions will me disabled. ...load the software and restart.

Re: Files in /var/lib/dpkg/
/var/lib/dpkg/available is the file that keeps track of all packages currently available to be installed, based on the package info retrieved by apt-get update and your sources.list file. /var/lib/dpkg/status is the database file that contains information about the state of all packages currently install, removed, etc from your system. As a side note, never delete the status file by mistake, I did, and now I have to reinstall my entire system to get things back to normal.

Re: Two hard discs
Yes you can install Debian on one disk and have Windows 98 on the other. During the installation program if both disks are recognized you will be given a choice to install on one or the other. The first disk will be labeled 'hda' and the second 'hdb'. Make sure you understand which disk is which and pick that one to install Debian on. I've also seen on the list here that to make this even safer you can unhook your Windows drive during installation to insure that you don't make a mistake. hth, kent Robert Thrall wrote: Hello, I am at present using the Microsoft Windows 98 OS.

I know you can assign it anything (since this won't be : connected to the net) but is this following convention? Well, I think I see your confusion - people talk about private networks and you've crossed that with the loopback interface ... The loopback interface exists (among other reasons) so the OS can talk to itself without handing the packet to a hardware driver. This keeps un-needed traffic off the network. So-called private networks use IPs reserved for this use by RFC 1918. 192.168.1.0/24 is a common choice. These IP addresses are not supposed to be routed on the Internet, and no BGP routes exist for them (though you'll find that many routers on the Internet *will* attempt to route these addresses rather than refuse them outright, but that's another topic altogether). You need to assign your private network IPs from RFC1918. I recommend using 192.168.1.0/24 (netmask 255.255.255.0) since most HOWTOs assume that anyway. Assign 192.168.1.1 to one PC and 192.168.1.2 to the other. The command `ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255' should do this. Later, you can configure a linux box to provide IP masquerading services for this private network - all machines will be able to access the Internet. : The other thing I'm having trouble with is the computer I wish to use as : a server is a 386 with Windows 3.11 on it.

Re: Digital cameras and Linux
Neil Booth [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I'm considering buying a digital camera or videocam, but am concerned about being able to download the JPEG images to Linux. Of course, the cameras come with a serial cable and software for downloading the images to Windows. Does anyone know if these cameras simply pass the JPEG data down the serial line, or is there some special camera-specific protocol they use (rendering it useless without special software)? In the former case, how would I capture the data coming down the serial line? Thanks for any information or advice, Neil. Hi Neil, I do competitive analysis of digital cameras for my company. I will not tell you which camera to buy :-) *but* I will emphatically insist that you *not* get a Sony Mavica. I will try to explain a few things that will help you. First, connectivity. I would recommend going to the gphoto site to see what their software supports. Their software is intended to allow image downloads from a tethered camera (serial, USB). This method usually uses a protocol called Twain. There is a www.twain.org site, I haven't visited it yet. The driver for the digital camera most likely uses Twain, as does Photoshop and some other apps that can get images directly from the camera. I haven't been able to bring cameras home to test which ones use a proper implementation of Twain or which ones gphoto works with -- yet. Experimentation and asking around, as you are, is your best bet for specific information about any particular model. Second, storage. This is related to the first point. Unless you are using a camera that allows scripting on the host to control it ( via Digita OS from FlashPoint technologies ), then you are simply transferring images. This is all that 99 percent of the people want anyway. So you just need a reader for the storage media, then the camera driver isn't really an issue. This is what the person was getting at when he suggested the Sony Mavica with floppy disks. Unfortunately, the images the Mavica produces lose a great deal of information when being stored to the disk. There just isn't enough room an a puny little floppy for all the data, so the camera compresses the hell out of the image. This isn't just a problem for Sony, but I don't know of any other cameras that come with less than a 4MB card for storage. Most now come with min. 8MB. There are PCMCIA card adapters for both SmartMedia and CompactFlash. This may be the way to go. I'm not sure what you'd have to do to mount the card, haven't experimented that far. Good starter cameras ($300 range) check out the Olympus D-340R, HP C-200, Fuji MX-1200. All of the cameras in this range are a little slow between pics. They are 1MegaPixel cameras, so the image quality is just OK for web and 4X6 prints. The Olympus can save an uncompressed TIFF, but that means a 4-5MB file gets generated. Adds to the image quality, but you'll want more storage. Beyond this, remember that digital zoom is just for advertizing. I mean to say that digital zoom is worthless. If you use the digital zoom, it drastically reduces the resolution of the image. You can do this stuff with Photoshop or the Gimp anyway, so you won't miss not using it in the camera. Optical zoom is valuable for taking good pics. You will pay for it, as well as a high resolution CCD. I mention the starter cameras because they were already brought up by way of the Mavicas and the D-340R. If you want to know about the other offerings (like Nikon 950 or Olympus C-2000 which are highly respected), I suggest you look at the following sites: www.steves-digicams.com photo.askey.net www.megapixel.com www.dcresource.com Also, prices are much lower on the Net than in the retail stores.

JAVA 2 debs for slink? Anyone? (CORRECTED SUBJECT)
Hello, I'm very sorry for the repost. The title should have read JAVA 2 (not 2.0). I am not looking for some pre-release past the 1.2 JDK. I wanted to avoid any confusion, as I have been corrected in the past by folks for mentioning JAVA 2.0 which appears to be very incorrect! Hello, I was curious if anyone had a pointer to JAVA 2 deb packages for slink. As I suspect this will be a very big download, and I'm using a modem, I want to make sure I get the right stuff. I also heard there is an emacs-based JDE, which I also would like to get, if this is separate from the main package(s). Any links, information, caveats, good/bad experiences welcome.

Re: Rudimentary network questions.
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far way, someone said... I've read through the Networking-HOWTO several times and much of it still baffles me. What I'm trying to do is connect two computers, using one as a print server for my windows only printer. One thing I'm confused about is the assignment of 127.0.0.0 and 127.0.0.1 I've read that 127.0.0.1 is the loopback route. That's correct; if one service needs to contact another on the same computer it's possible to do this through the loopback device. Many things (ie NFS) won't work if it's not set up. For that matter, networking in general won't work :) 127.0.0.0 for what I can gather is the top of the stack. I can ping both successfully on my computer. What I'm confused about is which to set my eth0 to? You set eth0 to neither; 127.0.0.1 is reserved for the device lo (the loopback network device) In /etc/init.d/network I have this, ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 route add -net 127.0.0.0 /etc/hosts is 127.0.0.1 xyf localhost /etc/networks localnet 127.0.0.0 All of that is correct. When I run, ~# netstat -nr Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 127.0.0.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 3584 0 0 lo 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 3584 0 0 lo ? Only the first should be there. The other is redundant. This is showing that I have two loopback routes. Is this correct? Yes, you're reading that right. When I assign a route to my nic do I set it at 127.0.0.1 or 127.0.0.0 or neither? Neither. The computer that I'm going to connect to do I assign it 127.0.0.2? AFAIK not a good idea. I know you can assign it anything (since this won't be connected to the net) but is this following convention? You have the right idea, but are using the wrong numbers. There are a large number of IP#s (literally millions!) that have been set aside by the internet RFCs, IIRC RFC1918 lists them. These are the IP#s I'm currently using for my private network: 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.2 192.168.0.3 192.168.0.10-192.168.0.254 This is essentially the range 192.168.0.0-192.168.0.254. Since they've been set aside for private use, you can use them every bit as easily as I do without having to worry about whether or not they'll conflict with someone else. I strongly recommend that you use this range; it makes so many things much easier to debug :) The other thing I'm having trouble with is the computer I wish to use as a server is a 386 with Windows 3.11 on it. Win3.11? As a server? It came with a card and at one time was on a network. There is a pop up when it boots that says, The NetWare Shell has not been loaded.

Then you can set up NetBEUI to go over the TCP/IP stack (pointclick, should be simple to find). Samba on your GNU/Linux box will then allow the two to communicate.

X11 Forwarding over SSH problem solved...
Ok I figured out my problem and now I feel stupid... However in the interest of making the list archive complete so that other, perhaps also stupid people, can fix this problem (should they be so stupid as to create it), I will post the details (in the process revealing my stupidity) :) Turns out that there was an old entry in /etc/hosts for my machine name. It listed a 192.160.x.x IP that used to be correct (when the box was on my LAN). Apparently sshd fires up xauth, which checks the /etc/hosts file...and in my case, added authorization for the wrong ip. I tracked down this problem by running my sshd with the -d option, which caused the client to spew a lot more info, one line being the offending xauth command.

arithmetic
I'm reluctant to re-open what I know is an old discussion, but ... I've looked in the list archives, and I've searched on the web. All I want is a simple spreadsheet program---very basic arithmetic functions, the ability to save the worksheet as a PS file for previewing and printing, and a semi-reasonable user interface. I've tried Siag and found it very frustrating---erratic and unpredictable behavior combined with impenetrable documentation. I've tried Abacus and that seemed better except that the functions which produce PS files seem to be very hard to control and the documentation is minimalist and not well organized. I've tried Xspread, but the user-interface is not exactly slick. I've downloaded WingZ but (i) I've had trouble getting it to run without segmentation faults and (ii) I'd prefer to use a GPL-ed program. I could install the Staroffice behemoth, but talk about overkill ... Are there options (maybe new options since this was last discussed?) that I'm forgetting or that I don't know about?

Re: Two hard discs
Hi Robert: Yes you can use more than one os on a computer. The reason for the warnings is to give you a chance to return your present system in case of trouble. The warning is com- parable to the warning you get when you need to go into the registry to fix or tweak windows, the advice to back up the registry is always given. When you install debian on the empty disc, you will need to reformat the hard drive as per instructions, the worse case scenario is if you format the wrong drive :). As to overloading your system, since you are installing a new os only one system will be operating at a time. So you will either run windows or debian. Since your computer can handle windows, it should also handle debian. Dean Robert Thrall wrote: Hello, I am at present using the Microsoft Windows 98 OS. I have two hard discs.

Don't kill tcp or udp packets from/to the ntp service port, nor delay them. When in doubt, try ntpq -p host to ping the servers. Also, just to be sure... you did notice debian potato packages ntp V4 (don't know about slink), and used the proper version 3 strings after the servers in /etc/ntp.conf for any debian potato machines, didn't you? -- One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.

kernel compile stops with fatal signal
make bzImage keeps stopping with fatal signals. I have tried this many times with and without doing make mrproper first. I always do make dep and make clean before make bzImage. I am trying to compile kernel 2.2.13 (the last one I compiled successfully was 2.0.35 more than a year ago). It will process fine for a while, sometimes getting near the very end before the fatal signal. If I start it again it will some times proceed further before stopping again. I even made it all the way through to the end once by starting it over and over, but the kernel it produced wouldn't boot. Here is the ouput from one of the errors: make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux/fs/autofs' make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux/fs/autofs' make -C devpts make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux/fs/devpts' make all_targets make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux/fs/devpts' gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -fno-strength-reduce -m486 -malign-loops=2 -malign-jumps=2 - malign-functions=2 -DCPU=586 -c -o root.o root.c gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -fno-strength-reduce -m486 -malign-loops=2 -malign-jumps=2 - malign-functions=2 -DCPU=586 -c -o inode.o inode.c gcc: Internal compiler error: program cc1 got fatal signal 11 make[3]: *** [inode.o] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux/fs/devpts' make[2]: *** [first_rule] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux/fs/devpts' make[1]: *** [_subdir_devpts] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux/fs' make: *** [_dir_fs] Error 2 fnord:/usr/src/linux# There are lots of these and it never seems to happen in the same place.

Re: mirroring?
Aaron Solochek [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Does anyone know either of the following. 1)If there are potato cd-images around, and if so, where? 2)Where the documentation for setting up a debain mirror is? I want to be able to bring the entire distro home with me over christmas, where I will have a slow connection. I need to install on a few machines there. Can't help with the cd images. I assume you're only interested in potato, and then only the 386 stuff, and not the alpha, sparc, m68k, etc.? It's not especially easy to get a mirror set up for just potato and just binary-i386. The problem is that there are still a few packages in potato that are merely links back to slink, and there are some things in potato/binary-i386 that are links to potato/binary-all. To add to the difficulty many of the mirrors use ftp daemons that don't allow logical links to be treated as normal files. My solution was to use an http mirroring tool, specifically w3mir. Even then it wasn't easy. I had to write a script to mirror the directories necessary, plus there was a bug in w3mir that made it necessary to modify the perl script (w3mir is a perl script). I did finally get a good mirror going though. Once you solve how to do it then you have to worry about space. How much disk space do you have? At my last count you'll need about 2.5G of free disk space to mirror potato/binary-i386 (US and non US). Some people would have a difficult time coming up with that amount of space. If you're not discouraged yet then send me email and perhaps I can help you get started. Gary

Problems with IRQ
Hi,
I´m having problems with instalation by CD.
I have a mother board, model TXPRO II, with 34M that has sound, video and
ide on board.
The video on board isn´t hability because I´m using a video card with S3
chip.
I have a HD of 8.4G where the linux partion is instaled in second particion.
I´m using version 2.1 of Debian distribution.
The problem is when I try install a comercial program by CD and some times
some programs of debian distribution, by CD, show the following message:
hda:irq timeout:status=0xd0{busy}
Then I need power off the machine.
My questions are:
These problem is because the hardware, like configuration of BIOS ?
What´s the mean status=0Xd0?
How can I solve these problem?
Thank´s for help.

So, check this please and use another prefix! It was a long time ago when I last time compiled KDE, but I think you should set the KDEDIR variable. KDE has its own include files and libraries, residing in $KDEDIR/include and $KDEDIR/lib. I think that should do the trick. If not, you can give adequate arguments to the configure script (if any), something like `--with-kde=/usr/local/kde' or something like that. Regards, Daniel
Re: X11 Forwarding over SSH problem solved...
Mark Santaniello [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Ok I figured out my problem and now I feel stupid... However in the interest of making the list archive complete so that other, perhaps also stupid people, can fix this problem (should they be so stupid as to create it), I will post the details (in the process revealing my stupidity) :) Turns out that there was an old entry in /etc/hosts for my machine name. It listed a 192.160.x.x IP that used to be correct (when the box was on my LAN). Apparently sshd fires up xauth, which checks the /etc/hosts file...and in my case, added authorization for the wrong ip. I tracked down this problem by running my sshd with the -d option, which caused the client to spew a lot more info, one line being the offending xauth command. Thanks to everyone who offered help, especially [EMAIL PROTECTED], who suggested the debugging parameters... Thanks Mark, this does help. Nothing stupid about it. Seems like a pretty subtle, tought to find problem. Mine's a bit more complex, but related. The remote machine in my case is a laptop that can live on any of 3 networks (only one at a time). On each network it has a different name. Locally it always has the name laptop, but it's network name can be any of 3 different things. Unfortunately it tries to use whatever network machine has the name laptop instead of using it's own network name. I'll have to figure out a way around this, but you solved the what was causing the problem and now I can try and solve it. Thanks!! Gary

Friday, December 10, 1999, 4:19:19 PM, Kenneth wrote: It is a perfectly valid address as per the mail server running on my unconnected domain. RFC822 states that it should be authenticated, but does not state who by. Then it is your own fault that mail would fail. Again, I ask, what prevents you from putting a valid email in your from header? Correct. But reread RFC822. This is only one of the intended uses of the Reply-To header. The fact stands that it is an intended use, despite what MANY mail administrators might think. The use of the Reply-To header to indicate that a reply should goto another address because the From header address cannot receive a reply is another one. Right, and neither are given priority. In fact, given such an option, setting up a mailing list to rewrite the Reply-To header is broken behaviour - unless the intent of the list admin is to put such subscribers at a disadvantage. No, it is not. It is an alternate use of the Reply-To. It is an acceptable use under RFC822. Considering what you wrote about the Sender field having the Sender, in this case, the mailing list, set the Reply-To, is perfectly valid and not broken behavior. Any user who has an address in their from field which isn't routable (a highly unlikely event in today's day and age unless people are willfully being a pain) they have other alternatives to get the information to the people. A signature, for example. You may personally not like such use of headers. But if you want to get the world to follow in your footsteps, write up a new RFC and get it approved as a standard. Why, the RFC which is out there is quite clear that Reply-To is perfectly acceptable. I'm tired of the rest of the world ignoring this RFC because of their own personal preference. -- Steve C.

I would if they weren't all in the same dir Plus lots of other useful things like chmod. OTOH, anyone who did manage to hack an account with a restricted shell wouldn't have any business running chmod, so I suppose you could get away with just taking /bin out of his path. But then I imagine you might run into problems where the uid has to run shell scripts, then you're screwed again. :P hmmm. I guess then you would have to put a copy of a shell back in his path somewhere. At any rate I still haven't figured out why that account can't log in. :-\ On Mon, 13 Dec 1999, Stuart Ballard wrote: But with a restricted shell you can't run anything that isn't in your path, so just take all shells out of the path and bam, you're restricted again! :)

appropriate for french.
hop i understood correctly, i added the same line as you told into my source

compiled flawlessly.
ok perhaps it is clearer if i add the complete header:

Are they hard to implement? I often use a different PC so I need a sloution that does not require a secure client. Heh, no secure client - no security. But seriously: Ssh is a more secure replacement to telnet if you operate on public networks. There is both the daemon and the client, just as in telnet. See the ssh homepage for more details: http://www.ssh.org Now, if you are on a trusted network (behind a firewall or standalone etc) and you trust the other users, telnet's fine. Ssh (or openssh) is very, or at least relatively easy to install on almost every flavor of *nix. Pam is an abstraction layer that is meant to ease the enforcement of stronger authentication etc. I understand that Potato packages are mostly (all?) pam-enabled. So is RH6.1 . Unless you are a sysadmin you shouldn't have to worry about pam.

You claim to quote section 4.4.3 of RFC822, yet you left most of it out, removing the context. Who exactly is to include the address? Here's the whole section (indented) with my refs in the margin: 4.4.3. REPLY-TO / RESENT-REPLY-TO This field provides a general mechanism for indicating any mailbox(es) to which responses are to be sent. Three typical uses for this feature can be distinguished. In the first case, the author(s) may not have regular machine-based mail- 1 boxes and therefore wish(es) to indicate an alternate machine address. In the second case, an author may wish additional 2 persons to be made aware of, or responsible for, replies. A somewhat different use may be of some help to text message teleconferencing groups equipped with automatic distribution services: include the address of that service in the Reply- 3 To field of all messages submitted to the teleconference; 4 then participants can reply to conference submissions to guarantee the correct distribution of any submission of their own. Note: The Return-Path field is added by the mail transport service, at the time of final deliver. It is intended to identify a path back to the orginator of the mes- sage. The Reply-To field is added by the message 5 originator and is intended to direct replies. I don't see anything that allows a mailing-list to change the Reply-To field, for three reasons: a) The uses marked 1 and 2 above would be trampled on. b) It is quite clear from references to the author at 1 and 2, and message originator at 5, that include (ref 3) is also directed at the author. c) In case you're not convinced of (b), it says submitted *to* the teleconference at ref 4, i.e. the originator still has to set this field when submitting to the mailing-list. It appears that you yourself have used this feature (ref 3/4) and set Reply-To to the list, so that you don't get a personal copy of my reply (even if I had replied rather than group-replied).

Kernel panic during kernel compile?
Ok, I'm having some SERIOUSLY weird issues when trying to compile a kernel on my SMP machine. I have a dual PIII-450 with 256 meg of ram running all SCSI hardware with the 2.2.13 kernel. Here's the problem. Sometimes when I trey to compile a kernel with -j 4, it compiles along until it appears to hit a kernel panic of some kind. I get this message: Unable to handle kernel derefence of pointer at address 00 Kernel Dump Waiting on processor #0. And then the entire system hangs, obviously. When my system hangs (either this problem or hang in general) everything shuts down. I can't even telnet or ssh into my box to kill off X, if that was the problem. I've been having intermitant hanging problems for a long time, and am currently checking all my hardware, but this kernel issue has me stumped. It only happens when i use a -j 4. Does anyone know anything about this or can point me in the right direction for some answers? Anyone know of any lockup problems with smp machines with the 2.2.x kernels? I'd appreciate any help on this as I'm pulling my hair out trying to solve this locking problem. TIA. Rob
