Kernel-image-compact
Hola a todos... Cuando se publico en potato el kernel 2.2.13, tambien se publico una utilidad kernel-image, que generaba el binario y el kernel-header. Ahora se ha publicado el kernel 2.2.14, pero la utilidad kernel-image, solo genera el binario, pero no el kernel-header, y sin embargo no he encontrado ninguna otra utilidad que los genere. ¨Donde se puede encontrar? Saludos.
Potato y Woody
Hola a todos He visto que potato ha pasado a estado frozen y se ha creado una nueva distribucion inestable, woody, que en un principio comenzara como una extension de potato. Llevo varios meses instalando paquetes de potato, al igual que hice con slink, hamm y bo. Es decir, desde mi punto de vista, yo no he efectuado ningun corte con las distribuciones, lo que no quiere decir que no haya habido dificultades, los cambios de distribucion suponen siempre un punto de inflexion mas o menos acusado. Ahora llega el momento de otro cambio, y me pregunto si con este ultimo se persigue algun objetivo concreto de importante calibre, como supuso el cambio de bo a hamm, en el que recuerdo haber tenido que reinstalar completamente el bo por segunda vez, pero leyendo las instrucciones que no habia leido anteriormente, o si es un cambio de tipo estrategico (hay que publicar una distribucion), y woody podria haber supuesto potato un a¤o mas. No estoy en contra de que se publiquen distribuciones, pero si me gustaria saber, si existen lineas generales que provoquen la preparacion de una nueva distribucion, y la importancia de estas. Saludos Con Debian, si no por siempre, por el mayor tiempo posible.

Re: Una de librerias
Con un navegador puedes acceder a www.debian.org. Y por allí, entrando en paquetes, he llegado a la siguiente página web http://www.debian.org/Packages/unstable/x11/xfce.html En ella te viene de que depende y enlaces de cada paquete del que depende para poder bajártelos. Pero si tienes hamm, me temo que cada paquete que quieras ponerte dependerá a su vez de otros que te faltarán. Y puede ser un bastante pesado bajártelos y llevar cuenta de cuales has traido, cuales te faltan. Si estas en hamm y quieres probar nuevos paquetes, curiosear, podrías cambiar de versión a potato, de alguna manera automatizada (más o menos). Usease usando apt-get que viene en el paquete apt. Si te parece caro actualizártelo por internet será mejor que te consigas un cd.

Re: Modem dials without reason
I configured demand dialing with diald on my machine. Now my modem dials everyfive minutes without reason.

I am having the same problem as Klaus, but the hints in this thread have not helped me. The only port activity I see in the server logs which I cannot explain is on port 1024 and on ports higher than 61000. In the period during which the modem dials out every few minutes, there are several of these requests on these ports. One more note about my case, I have diald installed, but demand dialing doesn't work unless I type the command ipmasq at the server prompt. If I do not, there is no dialout, the workstation browser times out, and the only thing that shows in the logs is named[221]: ns_forw: sendto([204.72.134.10].53): Operation not permitted Does anyone have any ideas on this one?

Re: Support for D-Link 220 Ethernet cards?
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far way, someone said... I just installed Debian (slink) on a friend's system. His Ethernet card is a D-Link 220. I read the Ethernet-HOWTO to check the card's compatibility, and there has apparently been some success getting D-Link 200 cards to work, using the ne driver. I've made a kernel (2.0.36) with the ne support built-in, and another try with it as a module. However, neither seems to work; I get a device or resource busy error if I try to modprobe ne.o. From what I've heard the DLink 220 is a NE2K clone (ie uses the ne driver). However, the ne driver isn't PnP, and you need to know the IO port and IRQ that the ethernet card is configured for. Has anyone gotten this card to work in Linux? Is there a chance it'd work in a 2.2.x kernel? (I'd really like to not have to do that, though, as getting a new kernel-source package installed on his computer, without having the Ethernet card available to *download* the package, could be quite a pain. However, if I must make him a 2.2.x kernel, I'd appreciate some tips on how I can build a kernel locally without hosing my computer, and then transferring it over to his. I'd hate to have to use RedHat.) -- -- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] There are two things that are infinite; Human stupidity and the universe. And I'm not sure about the universe. - Albert Einstein

Using an LDAP backend for XDM logins

I retried subscribing 7 hours later and did recieve confirmation. I am resending the message in case it did not make it through the first time. ] Greetings all, I have used Debian for a quite a while now, but this is my first post to any of the mailing lists. I have been interested in using LDAP as a backend for authentication and other info for a while now. Just recently I check apt and found that all of the necessary pieces were in the archives, so I decided to snag it all and have a go at it. I now have pam_ldap installed and working ( on two machines ) and all authentication info is being processed through LDAP. ( I also have NIS installed and working for the two machines. ) First a brief overview of my systems: odeen: The NIS/LDAP server. All authentication is processed through here. famille: A 486 running X windows used mainly as a workstation. Configured with nss_ldap and pam_ldap. When I configured famille to use LDAP I also configured /etc/nsswitch.conf to use LDAP also. It appears to in most cases. However, when I have the settings passwd: ldap nis and group: ldap nis logging in through XDM doesn't work. If I have plain passwd: nis, group: nis or passwd: compat, group: compat XDM logins work fine. To summarize: I can change LDAP passwords from either machine and I can change NIS passwords from either machine. I can login at the console on either machine and have the logins processed through pam/ldap. XDM apparently is not PAMified and does not use pam_ldap module at all. XDM only successfully authenticates if /etc/nsswitch.conf uses compat or nis for the passwd and group settings. Does anyone have any ideas what I might be doing wrong or who best to talk to?

ipchains firewall rules
hi, I have a powerpc machine of which i just installed debian, (this machine is the only one with a modem) I have installed the ipmasq package which seems to do what is required. however, I have a need to mount a NFS share from another machine in the private network on the powerpc, this of course requires running the portmapper, which happily opens up half a dozen different ports, and ipmasq only protects the internal network, it assumes the firewall itself is secured by shutting down services etc. I have been reading various firewall howtos and the ipchains how to (along with a OpenBSD document) and I found a trick in the OpenBSD ipfw howto where you can deny all tcp packets with the SYN flag set, this only denies incoming connections to a ports (someone trying to telnet in) however i found you cannot block all ports in this way without breaking ftp, irc and several other things. and only blocking privileged ports from device ppp0 seems to be causing some sort of problem when connecting as the kernel starts logging all kinds of DENY messages, but the rule causing them is the very last output failsafe that ipmasq creates, not the SYN rejects. is there any way I can set this up so i can mount nfs shares without opening all the portmapper crud to the whole world? what i tried was adding 3 new rules to the very beginning of the input chain ipchains -I input 1 -p tcp -i ppp0 -d 0.0.0.0/0 53 -j ACCEPT ipchains -I input 2 -p tcp -i ppp0 -d 0.0.0.0/0 113 -j ACCEPT ipchains -I input 3 -l -p tcp -y -i ppp0 0.0.0.0/0 :1023 -j REJECT but as i mentioned i get DENY logs for various ports below 1024 from IPs which i presume are from my ISP. any pointers to good books and such on firewalling would be nice too.

a few problems...
I am installing debian for the first time, and have already installed the base system as well as selected some packages (yet to be installed). I accidentally pushed the reboot button on my computer, and got error messages, although it would still let me in. As I didn't know how to fix it at first, I kept just using it unfixed a few times, having to remount the drive read/write each time, then running dselect to select a few packages. I would then quit dselect, and type: shutdown now and the computer would reboot. I finally learned how to fix it (fsck /dev/hda2 while in /), and rebooted my computer, but now all commands are useless. When I type mount -n -o remount,rw / (in /) it says that the command can only be used in the root directory. I also tried it in /root, /home, but kept getting the same message. I also tried typing shutdown now (in /)and it did not recognize the command. Please help! Also, I was wondering how I can configure it so that I don't have to remount the drive every time.

You were asked what to do for each problem encountered, were you not? Some files might turn up in /lostfound. You might recognize some text files by their content. The best way I can think of is to run a tripwire integrity check (after reinstalling it (or run from floppy) and/or the database from its backup as necessary). But it is essential that you ran tripwire before your 'little accident'. Then reinstall the packages to which the lost files belong. You can find the packages by 'dpkg -S name_of_lost_file' assuming your dpkg data are not corrupted. Jens

The MaxClients directive limits the number of simultaneous requests that Apache can service. The MaxRequestsPerChild: Apache launches a child server process to service a request, however, a child server can process multiple requests. The number of requests a child server can process is limited by the MaxRequestsPerChild directive. After servicing the maximum number of requests, the child process terminates. If the MaxRequestsPerChild is 0 (zero) then the process will never expire. If you suspect there are libraries on your operating system that have memory-leaking code, you may want to set this directive to a non-zero value. This enables you to define a life cycle for a child process, and therefore reduces the chances of a process consuming leaked memory and slowly eating up all available memory.

Question: how to use an LDAP backend for logins
Hi Joseph, Well, I'm not answering your question but asking you: How to use an LDAP backend for logins? What I have: one server with shadow. What I want: to put 2 workstations with central authentication and exported home directory? I have tried (not hardly) nis but I couldn't get it to work. Mainly because the howto says you need a static hosts files for name resolution and I already have a dns running with dynamic dhcp updates. Is it possible to use LDAP in this situation?

Hello there, I'm here because my official debian cd (bought at linuxcentral) doesn't boot... After few seconds the booting process in my machine stops at the line: md driver 0.36.3 MAX_MD_DEV=4, MAXREL=8 Anyone could tell me which is the problem?

Epplet question
i list, I have an E epplet question. Perhaps its more suitable to post to the E lists but since I use ljlanes epplet deb I thought I tried here first. I happened to start an epplet (some network monitoring epplet) but since I don't have a network It just returned an error box. My problem now is that everytime I start X I will get this error box. So How do I make this epplet that gives me the error to not be started ? Also does anyone know if E-FancyLauncher is to be found as a deb package ? I could probably get all the epplets from CVS and compile myself but since I am not very experienced In doing that stuff I would prefer a .deb But if anyone feels like helping me point out where to start (pointers FAQ etc) using CVS and compiling myself that would be very nice too. Best regards Joakim
Re: Epplet question
So How do I make this epplet that gives me the error to not be started ? Hello, I have had problems with epplets coming back, sometimes many copies of them at once. Deleting the files under .enlightenment doesn't get rid of them, so when I want to start clean, I simply rename the directory where I keep my epplets. You can try ALT-BUTTON3, chose Remember and toggle off the restart on login parameter, but in my experiences this doesn't always work. I keep my epplets in /usr/enlightenment/bin_x3 at the moment, and changing the name of the directory might be a hack but it has never caused me any problems, and I can be guaranteed that no epplets will start automatically once I rename the directory. So far, this epplet stuff is my only complaint issue with E. I also found that exiting E properly (CTRL-ALT-DELETE) then return to select Yes, Really log out helps things. I got this advice on the #E IRC channel. John __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

I've had some luck using the XF86_SVGA server from XFree86 3.3.4, and specifically using the binary from the tarball from xfree86.org. I have had no luck using any of the Debian-packaged X servers, nor with any more recent X server. I am using an Appolo-named (noname) Trio3D with 4M of RAM and the 365 chipset. It works flawlessly with the 3.3.5-2 drivers in glibc2.1. Previously I tried it with the 3.3.5-0slink1 packages, then it was only working with only one resolution. The main problem with this card is that it is very picky on the monitor type you set for it. Don't try to set it better than 1024x768-NI. 1024x768-HR is something it can't cope with, according to my experience. And don't try to set 32bit color depth. That is the other thing it is incapable of doing in X. And of course it needs trying. On some machines you must not enter the Card menu of the XF86Setup program. (that was with the slink package). Good luck with it. Robert Varga The only thing is, this server seems to have about a 50% chance of failure on restart, where failure means takes down entire system with it. So now I'm using the XF86_FBDev server, which is actually giving more or less equivalent performance at the cost of a much worse refresh rate (43 Hz interlaced vs. 60Hz noninterlaced). You might try reading the kernel documentation for 2.2.* kernels or look at the Framebuffer-HOWTO. You can avoid system breakdowns if you recognize it early enough that it won't work, and press alt-ctrl-backspace. It occurs upon resolution changes, when it can't properly set the video mode. After a couple of tries you can guess from the state of the leds on your monitor, what will happen. It only occurs with videomodes that cannot be displayed properly, but leave the card in some state, that it hangs the system. My monitor tends to behave differently for the modes that hang the machine, and those that don't, so probably the output of the card's sync lines is different in the two states. I haven't tried the 3.3.6 version yet. I expect it will work correctly as well. However I have seen another machine with a Trio3d as well, which I was not able to make work at all in modes above 640x480. However it had a very old monitor. Maybe that was the cause.

The high quality replies I received (especially from Jens B. Jorgensen) solved my problem.

Re: Question: how to use an LDAP backend for logins
Well, I'm not answering your question but asking you: How to use an LDAP backend for logins? I can answer this question, but not super quickly. I am planning on writing a Debian specific HOWTO with example config files, explanations, etc. Of course the explanations will require that I go back and understand what it is I did... What I have: one server with shadow. What I want: to put 2 workstations with central authentication and exported home directory? That is exactly the setup I have, except that I only have one workstation. So, my advice should help a lot. Though after I give you my config files, etc you should talk to others about real security. My setup was done for my home network where quick usability is more important that real security. I suspect your setup may be different. I have tried (not hardly) nis but I couldn't get it to work. Mainly because the howto says you need a static hosts files for name resolution and I already have a dns running with dynamic dhcp updates. I read that to, but I don't have a static hosts file and it still appears to be working. I don't know why you would need static files, but my advice would be to try it. I was able to get NIS working in a little over 2 hours. Again, I can't speak for security. Is it possible to use LDAP in this situation? Very possible. Again, I will have a HOWTO in the works within a week or two. I will send you info as I work on the sections.

Athlon kernel compilation blues
Dear all, I have an Athlon 550 MHz system in which I installed Potato. It's all good with the installation boot disks and all that. The only problem comes when trying to compile a new kernel other than the one that came with the distro. So I downloaded the sources for 2.2.14 and configured it (I can provide you with the Makefile, I won't send it to the list so as not to clutter it). It's a pretty easy system: normal EIDE hard drive, CD-ROM, serial mouse, keyboard and an ESS Solo1 soundcard. I don't even need networked filesystems (at least not for the time being), so all there is is some network support (I use this as a workstatio from which I read mail and news, and browse the web). Most of the stuff is located as modules, with kmod support and all that. Oh, and there's also a RealTek 8139 PCI network card. After compiling a number of kernels (both using and not using kernel-package), I always have to restore to a bootdisk I created with the installation's default kernel. Basically, I get loads of different errors: from CRC errors when decompressing the kernel (!) to dodgy pointr assignments and stuff that outputs tons of debugging information. I get kernel panics and stuff like that. Obviously, I am missing some kernel option here which is causing all these problems. I don't really know where the problem lies, and I don't know where to look in order to sort it out. Does anyone have any suggestions? I suppose I could go on using the default kernel, but I find it annoying not knowing what's going on here!

Only one problem... it only has platform specific files on it for Wintel boxes. I have a 68K Mac. Now I assume that I can just use a handful of downloaded files along with this CD for an install (I hope), but need to know which files to put where to start, and if the setup will pull the files it wants off the CD. The installation procedure would pull the right files off the CD except they won't be there because the architecture is wrong. The few files that would work are those which contain just documentation as they are architecture-independant (they will be links in the m68k tree on the ftp site).

bootable CD on non cd booting machine?
List folks and Richard -- The subject line almost says it all: How can I make a bootable CD boot on hardware that does not support booting from a CD? In particular, have the rescue CD from the Atlanta Linux Showcase, but the machine I really want to use it on does not boot from CD. I could put syslinux on floppy and point things to the CD or I could dd the kernel from my system to a floppy and point things into the cd. The structure of that disk is a little strange to me. Do you have a suggestion on how to set things up for that disk? If there is a more appropriate forum, a pointer will be appreciated. Meanwhile, I'll be hacking at this. --David David Teague, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Debian GNU/Linux Because software support is free, timely, useful, technically accurate, and friendly.
CD's and such for a CD handout?
I'm trying to organize a CD handout on 2/17 at the local CompUSA. RedHat is going to send me some stuff to hand out and a local vendor is going to bring some things like bumper sticker's, some tux dolls, etc. Does anyone know any contacts at debian.org that can send me a cd or so of slink and/or potato that can be handed out and/or dupped if needed?

Enlightenment CVS questions
Hi all, I would like to try out imlib2 and efm for enlightenment. As a relative newbie how should I do this, or should I do it at all ? Do I need to use CVS and compile myself or is there some sort of debian CVS (my search so far indicates this) that should be used (this means I will compile myself but with some sort of debianized stuff so I wont mess up). I would like to try these things but wouldn't want to mess up my debian packages. Any hints are of interest. Best regards Joakim Svensson

Re: Strange LILO question
Is there then realy no way to boot the floppy also WITH a DOS filesystem? Probably not :-( I think there is a way, just not using LILO, but loadlin. You just take a DOS disk boot DOS and make some kind of menu in you're autoexec.bat file with the choice between dos and linux. (For linux you just do a dos command loadlin with some arguments. Ron
Ethernet card dies unexpectedly
Hi! I'm having some trouble with my ethernet card (a PCI fast ethernet RealTek 8139). Basically, this card sits in 0xe800, IRQ 11 and is perfectly detected by the rt8139 driver. It is configured to work in half duplex mode. When the system boots up, it all works fine, it is connected to our local network (10Mb Ethernet), and normal operation starts. However, if I try to download a large file off the network, the collisions LED in the hub starts flashing. When I had another computer here with an ISA card, none of this happened. Moreover, I have been experiencing problems with the downloaded files: it turns out that sometimes the archives are corrupted. I have downloaded Debian packages and have had probmes as they cannot be decompressed. In the end, and after a while of normal use (only as a client for internet uses, such as e-mail, web, usenet, ftp and telnet; no fancy networked filesystems or stuff like that), the network becomes invisible to my machine. The ifconfig configuration stays there, with proper IP address and all that. However, route and netstat seem to freeze up when showing my gateway table. In the end, the default gateway never shows up. The only way around this has been to reboot. Does anyone know what could be going wrong here?

Re: Boot
the problem is the kernel on the debian cd is too old to run on athlon, its probably running linux 2.2.12, i hear 2.0.36 works but if you use 2.2.x i believe you need 2.2.13 or newer. only thing I can suggest is install to another machine and move the HD over..you can try to make your own boot/root disk but i've never tried it. nate On Thu, 20 Jan 2000, Nicola Tessari wrote: nitess Hello there, nitess I'm here because my official debian cd (bought at linuxcentral) doesn't nitess boot... nitess After few seconds the booting process in my machine stops at the line: nitess md driver 0.36.3 MAX_MD_DEV=4, MAXREL=8 nitess Anyone could tell me which is the problem? nitess I've choosen the hardware checking out if it was supported (k7 500MHz nitess with asus k7m, cd creative 48x). nitess Slackware 7.0 boots well (from linux central too) nitess Thanks a lot in advance, nitess Nicola nitess nitess nitess -- nitess Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null nitess [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Vice President Network Operations http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By:http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMPhttp://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- 7:28am up 153 days, 19:33, 1 user, load average: 1.65, 1.66, 1.59
Re: Athlon kernel compilation blues

The only j.l.go problem comes when trying to compile a new kernel other than the one j.l.go that came with the distro. So I downloaded the sources for 2.2.14 and j.l.go configured it (I can provide you with the Makefile, I won't send it to j.l.go the list so as not to clutter it). It's a pretty easy system: normal j.l.go EIDE hard drive, CD-ROM, serial mouse, keyboard and an ESS Solo1 j.l.go soundcard. I don't even need networked filesystems (at least not for the j.l.go time being), so all there is is some network support (I use this as a j.l.go workstatio from which I read mail and news, and browse the web).

Oh, and j.l.go there's also a RealTek 8139 PCI network card. j.l.go j.l.go After compiling a number of kernels (both using and not using j.l.go kernel-package), I always have to restore to a bootdisk I created with j.l.go the installation's default kernel.

Re: slink mirror
Hi Nathan, Many thanks for you support. I guess you are right about large sites. I finally try to mirror the debian.crosslink.net and got the complete slink (i386) minus the source mirrored.

Re: Ethernet card dies unexpectedly
what kind of machine is it on? i had a similar problem on an old P100 IBM machine it wouldnt work with any PCI NIC for longer then 10-15 minutes, the network would die as well..my solution was to just use an ISA card. you could also try upgrading the driver.. check NASA's site-- i forget the URL go to http://yahoo.aphroland.org and search for nasa i got a link to it. Even if you have the latest kernel chances are the NIC drivers are still very old. nate On Thu, 20 Jan 2000, [iso-8859-1] Jos?
