Re: Tarda mucho Telnet y ftp
A mí eso me ha pasado cuando tenía configurada mi red con una máscara muy grande. Me explico. Si mi dirección IP es 10.10.4.16 por ejemplo y la máscara debería ser 255.255.255.0, es decir una red creo que del tipo C para 255 host. Si le ponía una máscara del estilo 255.255.0.0, entonces me pasaba exactamente lo que tú nos dices. Pero no encuentro explicación a este modo de duncionar, porque si al final responde durante todo ese tiempo ¿Qué ha estado haciendo el equipo?. Teniendo en cuenta además que a los ping respondía inmediatamente. Con el tcpdump intentaba ver si el equipo enviaba paquetes a otros sitios y no ví nada. En fin, espero que te ayuden los síntomas de mi avería. Saludos.

Kernel 2.2.10
Perdonad el semi-offtopic pero como las news van tan mal últimamente prefiero preguntarlo en la lista. Me encontré en el CD de una revista el kernel 2.2.10 y lo compilé. Mi anterior kernel era el 2.2.1 que había compilado en el mes de marzo (ya ha llovido). La pregunta es si este kernel tiene algún bug importante que desaconseje su uso, o puedo estar tranquilamente con el 2.2.10 otros nueve meses. Además lo compilé con el egcc mientras que la documentación del kernel aconseja el gcc. Me imagino que sería una recomendación para versiones anteriores porque no he tenido ningún problema.

For now I can set it's host name manually via the hostname command to it's real network name and that fixes the problem.

Re: exportfs?
From the NFS-HOWTO: Many Linux distributions lack a exportfs program. If you're exportfs-less you can install this script on your machine: __ #!/bin/sh killall -HUP /usr/sbin/rpc.mountd killall -HUP /usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd echo re-exported file systems __ Save it in, say, /usr/sbin/exportfs, and don't forget to chmod a+rx it. Now, whenever you change your exports file, you run exportfs after, as root. This works fine for me. Sean Robert L. Harris wrote: Ok, Where the heck do I get exportfs from?

Summary: logout/halt/reboot as ordinary user, gnome logout button?
Hi, Below are my motivations for bringing this issue up: - The intended use of the computers are for desktop applications. - I don't want to give the root password away to other users on my machines, in this case my family members. - Mainly the kids use the computers for games, especially networked. - I want to enable my family to use Linux instead of the other OS. Therefore it is important that they can start the computer, run it and shut down in a CONTROLLED way. Restart/shutdown are menu entries in the other OS!! - Since the user has direct access to the computer, he/she can turn off the power switch. This is NOT a preferred way to shut down, you know the possible consequences of this. - GDM, XDM or KDM are not interesting, since then ALL users have to use the graphical login. I prefer to go to X with startx, for other users startx can be put in their login scripts. I know you can always go to a virtual console with CTRL-ALT-Fx, x = 1,...,6. I dont prefer this solution. It is much nicer to start X from the console, from there enabling logging of errors etc. - Sudo, super etc can be used but I would prefer logout/halt/reboot as a default behavior IF you have CHOSEN to enable it during OS-install. - I'm running Redhat 6.1, RawHide 19991210, Mandrake 6.1, SuSE 6.3 and Debian 2.2 on four different machines. Unfortunately also the other OS is present on three of them!! Here is a short summary of the replies obtained on this issue and my comments. == - In rawhide/redhat 6.1 one can in the gnome panel either choose logout (from X, halt or reboot as an ordinary user by just giving the user password). As described by Owen Taylor at Redhat the commands halt and reboot (located at /usr/bin not /sbin) are links to the program consolehelper, which is part of the usermode package. Authentication is using PAM. Full message is included last in this mail. - According to the man page, the program consolehelper is a wrapper to userhelper. Consolehelper is not suid root, userhelper is. - The RedHat solution seem to be a very handy one. What about implementing it also for other distributions, such as Debian, SuSe, Mandrake etc. Or more conveniently, what about building it into gnome/kde. - Some users want the opposite, only selected users should be able to shutdown. What about just uninstalling the package enabling this behavior? Also disabling CTRL-ALT-DELETE is possible by editing /etc/inittab. But the problem remains: If the user has access to the power-on button he/she can just turn off the power!!!

Recently another machine got debian slink installed, upgraded to potato. In rawhide an ordinary user can log out of X, reboot or halt the computer, just by supplying the user password. How to enable this also in potato? (In potato the logout button in the gnome panel only enable you to exit from X!) The shutdown/reboot functionality in the logout dialog is based on a package called 'usermode' which build on top of the PAM authentication system. usermode is a bit like sudo in concept - it allows users to run certain commands that they wouldn't normally have access to, based on authentication through PAM. Usermode, however, is more useable in GUI environments, more configurable in some ways (PAM is almost infinitely configurable), and more transparent to the user. Potato does use PAM, at least in part, so it would be possible to port usermode, though it wouldn't be trivial, as Debian doesn't seem to be currently using the pam-console part of PAM which is used to give special privileges to users logged in at the console. Actually, the dependence between gnome-session and usermode for this facility is small - all gnome-session does is make some simple checks to see if the facility is there, and if it is there, adds the extra options and exec()'s a given command upon logout instead of exiting. So it wouldn't be at all hard to adapt to some other method of user rebooting. Regards, Owen

Solved: Boot off non-BIOS SCSI drive - can I use LILO or SysLinux?
Hi Well, Her Majesty's empire really came through for me! Thank you to David and Frank for your help. Frank was right about booting off the non-BIOS SCSI disk...for some reason, it does work (and, as he hinted, the magic incantation to LILO seems to be linear). I did not end up needing to try loadlin, though that looks like a fine solution. Incidentally, because I share this box with others (hence my hesitation to touch the IDE drive), I wanted something a little more user-friendly in the boot loader. I had an old copy of System Commander around, so I tried installing it. It would not see the second drive even though LILO did, but it has an option to boot from a MBR saved to a file. So I used dd to save the LILO MBR to a file on the Dos/Win partition. System Commander was then able to boot Win98 directly, and to chain-boot LILO. Thanks, guys, Brian

FW: Slink and Trouble compiling bttvgrab 0.15.4
Has anyone successfully installed the bttv driver and bttv grab? I tried to
install the bttv 0.6.4 driver which installed like a dream, but when I tried
installing bttvgrab version 0.15.4, I get all sorts of errors.
When I run the configure script it fails to discover KDE and Qt libraries
(which should be ok because I don't care about the KDE frontend that much)
but also can't find a library called libaa.so.
Then when I run make, it fails to compile a bunch of files, even though the
Makefile has these files in its dependencies. Even if I hand compile these
files, the process quickly fails in the linking step.
If you have gotten bttvgrab to work, please let me know!

journaling filesystem
hi, does anyone have experience with installing ReiserFS? (or any other journaling filesystems?) what i'd like to do is a) booting from a disk b) dd my / to a free partition c) reformat my root-partition with ReiserFS d) dd the root-backup back to my root-partition as of which kernel-version is RFS supported? thx in advance Jan
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. If you are going to do any manipulation or modification of these files, make SURE you make backups. I wish I had. Is not /var/lib/dpkg/status automatically backed up?

IRC troubles
Hi, since I usually use the #debian channel on Openprojects.org to get help and currently not able to log on there I ask here: I use X-Chat 1.2.1 on my Debian potato system for IRC. Since yesterday when I log on to irc.openprojects.org and join the #debian channel the IRC client crashes. It does not crash when I go to channels on Undernet or Efnet or if I log on openprojects.org and do not join the channel. What might be wrong?

Re: Xterm and function keys
Hi again! Sorry to bother you again with this, but unfortunately noone replied. Must have chosen a bad time for my posting. :-) I discovered a strange thing: In an xterm the function keys produce the following: F1 - ^[OP F2 - ^[OQ F3 - ^[OR F4 - ^[OS F5 - ^[[15~ F6 - ^[[16~ ... On a different system (I tried SuSE) they produce: F1 - ^[[11~ F2 - ^[[12~ F3 - ^[[13~ F4 - ^[[14~ F5 - ^[[15~ F6 - ^[[16~ ... which seems more correct. I also get this behaviour on my Debian (potato) box when I use rxvt or konsole. I don't think I misconfigured anything, because I confirmed this behavior with a newly added user, too.

Re: Using 3com modem Independent Mode (without Windows)

Very nice feature! ( makes the modem fairly expensive, too). BUT === I can't use it with my Debian (hamm) ! == The 3com package includes a Windows software (Winphone) to deal with the Independent mode. But it does not include any Linux script for enabling that mode. I wrote to them and asked for a Linux script. They told me they haven't got such a thing...! I complained to them and I'm still waiting for an answer. Note that the modem is NOT one of those windows-specific modems. I use it and works fine for connecting to my ISP. Now, how is it possible that it there exist something that Windows can handle and Linux cannot ??! 1) Has anybody a solution to this? 2) What information do I need about the Independent mode in order to write down a script myself and make the modem work? Would that be possible, anyway? (how?) It's probably something they want to keep hidden to boost use of that other OS, I'm guessing. I recently had a run-through with them regarding a firmware update for my USR Sportster over a non-intel machine. My suggestions: Ask for a telephone number and call tech support. I ended up repeating myself in email because each email was answered by a different support droid, only one of which seemed to have any intelligence. One of them suggested I install Windows 98 on my Sparc IPX. ; I spoke to a droid on the phone who was actually helpful, aparantly had called the hardware people to find out if they could do anything. I'm still stuck on the so-called `free' firmware upgrade but at least the guy was nice about it. Perhaps if enough people request support from 3com they'll start offering support. : If you have access to a Wintel anywhere, you can connect it to your machine with a null-modem cable, run minicom (and expect) on the Linux side and set up the Wintel side so it thinks the null-modem is your modem. I had successfully done this with my USR and their Windows-based software (borrowed a friend's computer) and learned the undocumented AT codes for flashing the Sportster. Oh, and aparantly you can change the modem's internal serial number too. rant What's up with these people, anyway? They give you explicit instructions to use their modem on your Sparc, then turn around and say you Ican't/I have your free upgrade unless you purchase from Redmond? Couldn't that be considered breach of contract? /rant Hope this helps -- Ferret no baka

gpm and X
I have two pointing devices, and I like to use them both with X. I can do this using gpm with the following command gpm -t ps2 -m /dev/psaux -M -t ms -m /dev/ttyS1 -R and by putting the following lines in the Pointer section of XF86Config: ProtocolMouseSystems Device /dev/gpmdata It works great. So what's my problem? Just that the initscripts somewhere insist on rewriting XF86Config when I restart the system. The only reliable way I have found to prevent it from doing this is to delete /sbin/buildxconf. But this is an ugly solution. Where are the defaults stored? I thought I had found them in /etc/devices. But it turns out that file gets rewritten too! Does the system recheck the hardware on every reboot and write these files in accordance with what it thinks they should be? How do I stop it from doing this? (BTW, I'm using the Corel variant of debian. So maybe this is a problem unique to that variant?) Any help would be appreciated. Wes

unidentified TCP connections

There tend to be other connection attempts but they die quickly The connection to my port 1097 seems to be constant. I have nothing to do with the mentioned machine (aiesecplanet.satimex.tvnet.hu). I have nothing listening on any of these ports (that I know of), and nothing is listening there according to netstat -a. I had a misterious machine breakdown two days ago, when all services (SMTP, TELNET, SQUID, FTP, POP3,...) refused connections, except for DNS. To be more exact, the only tcp port under 4000 (I scanned to this number) which was open was 53 (domain). I suspect a break-in occured.

Re: MySQL from Netgod hoses DBI???
Hello I recently upgraded MySQL from www.netgod.net/x/ and now my DBI stuff doesn't work. Here are the relevant (I think) packages: ... Can't load '/usr/lib/perl5/i386-linux/5.004/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so' for module DBD::mysql: libmysqlclient.so.4: The recent MySQL package depends on libmysqlclient6. Your DBI seems to be quite old and from the slink distribution. Since the former mysql maintainer did not seperate the library to an extra package you now only have two choices: a) downgrade mysql to the one that's shipped with slink (3.20.23 I think) b) upgrade Perl DBI. You can use the most recent one thats available on CPAN or as Debian Package. If you use the Debian package you should get the source and compile it yourself since you have an older perl version than me. You probably have to kill the depends out of the debian/control file, too, to get dpkg to install it. Mail me if you have further problems. bye, -christian- / MySQL and PerlDBI maintainer. P.S.: I will harden the depends on a more recent Perl-DBI in my MySQL package to prevent such failures from now on.

Re: journaling filesystem
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far way, someone said... does anyone have experience with installing ReiserFS? (or any other journaling filesystems?) I don't, but the installation process is the same if you're going to replace the HD that provided the root fs. what i'd like to do is a) booting from a disk b) dd my / to a free partition c) reformat my root-partition with ReiserFS d) dd the root-backup back to my root-partition Sorry, won't work - dd makes an image of the entire disk, including file system information. The restore operation would wipe out the nice, new ReiserFS file system and put your old root back in it's place, ext2 and all. This is what you need to do; I'm assuming you use lilo: a) tar / to a free partition b) reboot; at the lilo prompt boot your kernel, specifiying the backup file system as the root fs c) make the ReiserFS file system restore the backup via tar d) reboot and instant ReiserFS. If you don't use lilo or don't have a lilo boot prompt, DO NOT DO ANYTHING until you know 200% what you're doing - you could royally screw up your system if you're not careful. as of which kernel-version is RFS supported? It's not in any of the standard kernels - you need to patch a kernel 2.2.12 yourself. 2.3.x is not supported at this time. -- -- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] There are two things that are infinite; Human stupidity and the universe.

Re: PA-2013, K6-2 and AGP TNT2: Windoze runs, but Linux crashes
Hi, Noah! Thanks for your comment. I went to the closet and took old VGA card out. Unfortunately it did not help. Swapping cables, moving cards around does not help either. I can reproduce the problem if I try to move 1Gb of data from one place into another. Windoze does it, but Linux gets stuck somewhere in the beginning. Strange thing that I found a couple of messages blaming PA-2013, and people switch to Tyan, and it seemed to help, despite the fact that both motherboards carry exactly the same VIA chipset. It smells like bad motherboard.

All this hardware is supported fine by Linux, with only possible exceptions being the modem (PCI modems are usually not compatible) and the video board (I'm just saying that as a disclaimer, since I don't know anything at all about it.) I am inclined to believe that you are in fact facing some kind of hardware problem that windows is able to ignore for some reason. Nothing on your hardware list should be crashing Linux if it's working properly. I would try swapping some stuff out with different, similar hardware. Try different HD cables, a different disk, a different video board. It might even be the motherboard. You might also want to try running your hard drive on your secondary IDE controller, and disabling the primary controller in the BIOS. It could be that one of the controllers is bad but the other is OK. I had to RMA my PA2013 after experiencing some strange crashes in Linux. Disk IO would stop working completely. If i left procmeter running, I could try to run a program and watch the system load increment by one with each new process I tried to start. The only way out of this state was to reboot.

The only other disadvantage of the all-graphical approach that I can see is that if something goes wrong with your login manager, you may not be able to regain control of your system unless you can login through the serial port or the network.

MS Intellimouse
Someone I know is running potato and has a MS Intellimouse (a mouse with two buttons and a wheel). What we'd like to be able to do is have the functionality of both the wheel and an emulated third button. However, we read that the Emulate3Buttons in X doesn't work if ZAxisMapping is turned on. So, currently, we have ZAxisMapping on (so we can get the scrolling) but she has no way of doing the third mouse-button click. What we'd like to be able to do is somehow make Ctrl + Button-1 (or button-1 + button-2) send X a button-3 click. Is there any way to do this, either with XF86Config, xmodmap, the window manager (we are using Enlightenment), or any other method? Thanks.
