Re: Imagenes de Potato
En esta dirección te cuentan un poco todo esto http://cdimage.debian.org/ch4.html Y en esta otra como bajarte los paquetes: http://cdimage.debian.org/~costar/pseudo-image-kit. Básicamente necesitas dos programas, que pueden funcionar tambien en windows9x. Uno de ellos es el pseudo image kit y el otro es el rsync. Yo he usado el pseudoimagekit en windows 95 . Como servidor uso el sunsite.org.uk. De aquí te bajas un fichero con los listados de todos los paquetes que formen un disco CD. El pseudo image kit, va haciendo FTP de cada fichero y lo puedes hacer por partes, el guuarda una lista de lo que ha bajado y o que le falta por bajar, etc. Una vez que haya termindado, tienes que correr el rsync porque da la impresión que esa lista no es suficiente para crear el CDROM. El rsync no me funcionaba bien desde windows 95 y lo he corrido desde debian, si la imagen es de 600 MB necesitas otros 600MB donde te crea un fichero temporal. El rsync viene en la distribución de slink. El comando que he utilizado para rsync es el siguiente. Lo das desde el path donde tienes el fichero creado con el pseudoimagekit. Yo quería crear la imagen de una distribución para sparc y le daba la opción -T porque no tenía espacio en el disco duro de Linux y usé uno del PC con windows. rsync -v --progress --stats -T /discoe --block-size=8192 sunsite.org.uk::public/packages/debian-cd/2.1_r4/debian-cd/sparc/binary-sparc-1. iso . Que no se te olvide el último punto. Con lo que te cree el rsync, lo puedes probar montando este fichero con: mount /ficherodersync /pathdondeloquierasmontar -t iso9660 -o loop El núcleo lo tienes que tener compilado para soportar loop. Si el sistema te monta bien el fichero y ves en el path montado algo parecido a una distribución pues ya lo tienes todo bien y a copiar. Quiero agradecer a la lista , de paso, los que me contaron todo esto de rsync y debian-cdimage. Saludos

Re: Telefónica mediante ADSL ¿puedor?
Yo tengo una línea de pruebas con ADSL y el modem que tengo es externo y necesito una tarjeta ethernet para conectarme a él. Tengo un Linux funcionando y haciendo de proxy (con el squid) para los compañeros de la oficina y va muy bien, pero repito el modem es externo. Lo que no he podido configurar bien el el dhcpcd (que con la distribución doslinux sí pude). Pienso que es un problema mío el no saber configurar el dhcpcd. He salido del paso poniéndole la dirección ip fija pero sé que no es una solución muy elegante, aunque de momento va bien, con algún problema si se va la luz, etc. Saludos.
PROXY
Tengo una red con un servidor proxy en NT. Configuré un par de cliente usando Debian, y no logré salir mas allá del proxy. Intente decirle al equipo que el proxy era el gateway, y tampoco funcionó. Yo pensaba que el proxy era transparente, y que no había que hacer ninguna configuración especial. Que puede estar pasando?

Re: PROXY
Para ftp tambien debería de funcionar. Para otros protocolos normalmente hay que usar un proxy socks que define que paquetes debe pasar en función de las direcciones de origen y destino ademas de los puertos utilizados. Si el NT tiene p.ej. el Netscape Proxy el socks ya esta incluido. Otra cosa es que el administrador lo haya habilitado y/o configurado... Por supuesto existen paquetes socks para linux.

Lo que quiero es formatear la partición que le tengo guardada y no sé como, con mkfs vfat no puedo pues no tengo esa utilidad, si es que existe, y desde win no puedo por no ver el disco. ¿Qué hago? Por cierto gracias a eso he pasado de los problemas que tenía con los dispositivos, ratón, lp*, ... En esta copia de linux que hice hace unos días todo va bien.

Somewhere in the debian site they advise not to repeat the file structure in the cd, since it will not work smoothly. Qustion still remains what files/directories to put on each cd! Also, should main, contrib and non-free be at the root of the cd's, or should it be /[stable|unstable|frozen|patato]/main.. etc or? Anyone? :) my cdrom has dists/[frozen|slink|stable]/main.

Re: problem compiling a module!
Yeap!! It's selected..What can I do? I tried to copile the module by myself with the following line: gcc -DMODVERSIONS -DMODUKE -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/net/inet -O5 -c rtl8139.c but then the compiler tells me the CAP_NET_ADMIN is undeclared! any other ideas??

[NEWBIE]not installing from which partition?
Hi all, I'm a newbie to linux and have a quick question about installing debian. The installation manual for intel says that if you have a linux system running already (I have Mandrake), then you can update from that system and just over-write it with debian. BUT, it says do not do the install from the partition you are going to be installing onto. Unfortunately, I only have a /boot (100 meg), a swap (100 meg), and a / (3 gigs). Is it possible to do the install from linux or do I have to use windows? (plz plz plz say it is possible...installing linux from win2k is a bitch and a half...) -Dave

Modem problem
I just got a new computer and loaded Debian on it. I've managed to switch modems (it came with a winmodem) and after about a week of struggle managed to get it to log on to my ISP...and now I know why it was so difficult. My modem/computer only seems to be getting the first 10-20 characters of whatever gets sent by the ISP and then hangs. I can force it to go on by pressing/sending a return (which is how I finally managed to log on), but I can't get it to start PPP or get anything to run on a shell account. Any ideas? Hilary Hilary L.

Xfree and glibc trouble after slink - potato
I just upgraded from slink to potato. Well, actually the upgrade was from rain (Storm Linux 2000) to potato. Aside from learning the hard way to never run apt-get dist upgrade from an xterm, things went pretty smoothly. After several days of reconstructing my XF86Config (Storm's installer for dummies was one of the reasons why I chose to start with Storm instead of slink), I came across my next 2 big problems (and I assume that they are related). 1. kdm won't start on boot. I get an error on the console: Checking for valid XFree86 configurationUnable to check. Not starting X display manager. after loggin in, startx works just fine. 2. I can't start a terminal window in X. My WM of choice gives no error messages. xterm just doesn't start. If I try gnome-terminal, I get a mesage about not being able to log in with the admonishment: If you are using Linux 2.2.x with glibc 2.1.x this is probably due to incorrectly set up Unix 98 ttys. I'm thinking these problems might be related, but who knows. I would greatly appreciate anyone's insight on getting this straightened out. Thanks, -lee
Re: printcap problems, please help
Hi, I had a look at your printcap file and compared it to mine. I can't find anything wrong, so let me tell you how I tested my printer: 1) Test hardware + basic devices: ls -l /dev/lp0 This sends the directory printout to your printer device directly (i.e. without any filtering). Unless you have one of those Windows-only (host-based) printers this will usually produce some kind of output. In any case, if it doesn't you have a more basic problem than your printcap. Maybe you've done this already, though. Also makes sure you're using the right device name. 2) Make sure that your magicfilter file exists and is executable. Of course, if it isn't, you shouldn't hear anything from the printer. 3) Sometimes if the printer reacts, but doesn't print, it means it's waiting for a form feed. On some printers you can give it one from the printer's front panel. Otherwise, you can feed one straight to the device to check. (I don't remember how to do this offhand, but I know you can). ALSO, I just noticed that with the Linux 2.2 kernel, your first parallel port (~LPT1 in dosspeak) is /dev/lp0. However you mentioned Slink, which is based on the 2.0 kernel. With that one, I had the first printer port as /dev/lp1 in my printcap (I had to fix this when I upgraded the kernel). Well, maybe one of these suggestions will help. Steve Winston wrote: I need a little help getting a printer working with Devian. On slink, I mistakenly erased my printcap while setting up an Epson Stylus 740. Because I also have Linux mandrake on the same computer with the same printer, I installed the mandrake printcap and then did /usr/sbin/magicfilterconfig --force to convert the printcap to Debian. But when I try to print something (e.g., lpr something?), the printer makes a noise and then stops. Enclosed is my printcap file. Can anyone tell me what I should change? Thanks in advance.

Potato: NIC Module
Greetings, I'm installing from the Potato base floppies (Which isn't going so hot so far), and I was about to configure my network settings when I told me that my card (NIC) wasn't found. This didn't happen when I installed Slink some time ago. My card is a 3Com 3905B-TX 10/100 So, I went to install the module in the net section of the Kernel module listings and I don't see anything for that card. Am I supposed to be using a different module? Can anyone tell me which one to install for the above card? (I'd hate to screw something up and slow my machine to a crawl.) Thanks, Brian P.S. I realize Potato is frozen...
Re: Limiting user access in ftp, ssh, samba, etc... 'passwords'
You can tell proftpd to allow logins without a valid shell. It can also set a default root directory for users so they can't see anything above that point. Is this what is called chroot? it's technically not a chroot jail since in a chroot jail even the daemon can't get outside the jail so you have to make copies of all libraries/ binaries etc that the user will need while in the jail. that being said though, yes, it's basically a chroot jail. adam.

Error Compiling kdenetwork-1.1.2
Following is a message I posted to the KDE User listserv a few days ago. Stephan Kulow, developer of the kdenetwork package replied that he didn't know what was causing the compile to terminate but did note that libdl was broken; that I should have libdl.so instead of libdl.a. I'm running slink with a kernel built from 2.2.14 source. I did download and install the binutils in frozen but still get the same compile error. Isn't the linker in binutils? Any other suggestions as to why kdenetwork isn't compiling. As noteb, kdenetwork is the last module I tried compiling; all others compiled and installed with no problems. And, KDE runs, but, of course, I dont' have kppp and kmail--two programs most important to me on my laptop.

I just did the apt-get dist-upgrade from slink to potato and told it at every prompt to KEEP my current configuration, yet it ruined my fonts, my x server, my sound, other modules, and kdm. Does anyone know if potato changed important configuration file locations from slink, or made any changes to the startup routines? Everything seems to be there (modules, kdm, etc.), but none of my prior configuration applies anymore. Any help greatly appreciated! Thanks, Steve
Potato - update-alternatives (Ian Jackson) and window managers - doubt (and Slink to Potato Success)
Hello! First, I'm proud of Debian! I upgraded my Debian system to Potato this weekend, and everything went really fine! Enven my glibc 2.0.7 programs ran (almost all)! Thank you all developers! Go ahead! Make the world better! Second, I'm a bit confused about one point: I compiled gnome, wmaker and a large bunch of X-related software, and I was using a file in the /etc/X11/ (I can't remember its name, since it was deleted during the upgrade) to set my default window manager to /usr/local/bin/gnome-session. When I restarted my computer and ran X (startx), I was in front of a tiny almost-unuseable window manager. Digging the scripts I found one symlink (/etc/alternatives/x-window-manager) pointing to that ugly wm. I removed that symlink, created a new one pointing to /usr/local/bin/gnome-session. startx went fine. Till I restarted the computer. Then, once again, that link was set to /usr/bin/X11/vtwm . What a mess. I was poking update-alternatives, but didn't find a way to point my default window manager to /usr/local/bin/gnome-session. Yes I did read the man 8 update-alternatives, but it was a bit confusing to me (as I think it is a bit confusing to anyone but the man writer aka Ian Jackson), since it was not sufficiently explanatory (at least to me. Shame on me...). Could anyone explain to me the right way to make it work like I want, in the update-alternatives way? Thank you all! P.S.: Is Ian the Deborah's husband? :) Just to know... :) Thanks twice, Claudio
eth0 fighting ppp0 (maybe)
Hi, I wrote a little while ago about which module to use for my NIC. Well, Brian Moore provided me with the answer, which, well, worked a little too well I think. g I'm using Potato, as I mentioned, and I loaded the module 3c59x for my NIC. I'm at home right now, but I plan to take the box I'm working on back to the office to stick on the LAN to replace an, ehem, Red Hat box. I'm using a modem to apt-get stuff that I need so that I can get the box ready to go, but I've ran into a small problem. I fired up my connection, /var/log/messages said my connection appeared fine (plus my modem lights told me as well :-P). I have my resolv.conf entries in tact and I have my network settings set up properly. I went to use apt to get a few things and it just sat there, trying to connect. I took a closer look at /var/log/messages, and I now see an entry I didn't see before: pppd[334]: Serial Connection established pppd[334]: Using interface ppp0 pppd[334]: Connect: ppp0 -- /dev/ttyS0 pppd[334]: Remote message: Login Succeeded pppd[334]: found interface eth0 for proxy arp pppd[334]: local IP address 206.107.101.119 pppd[334]: remote IP address 206.107.101.159 The line referring to `eth0 for proxy arp' looks like the problem, because it's never been there before on a normal dial-up machine, but I'm not a network person (*gasp*). I can ping myself, of course, but I can't reach the outside world. Essentially, I'm just trying to get this thing setup to be able to plug it in the network and go, but for now I just need to be able to use ppp to get the packages I need. Is there a simple solution for this? Thank you very much, Brian

ALSA Mixer Trouble
Hi, I just installed the ALSA driver on my system, which appeared to go perfectly (after a lot of sweat, anyway :) ). However, when I run amixer to unmute the card, according to the INSTALL instructions and the online FAQ, I get: peregrin:/proc/asound# amixer set Master on Can't access mixer 1/0 Failed to open mixer device Clearly I'm missing a step somewhere. Also, possibly of use, here is /etc/modutils/alsa_sound which I created after the install. Running update-modules sticks this text into the /etc/conf.modules file (I checked to make sure): # Modules setup for ALSA Sound driver # Set up by Terry Hancock, 2000-3/26 # based on ALSA install instructions #ISA PnP support options isapnp isapnp_reserve_irq=9,10,11,12,13 #ALSA native device support (Avance Logic ALS120 -- Avance Logic ALS100 driver) alias char-major-116 snd options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1 alias snd-card-0 snd-card-als100 options snd-card-als100 snd_index=1 snd_id=ALS120 #OSS/Free setup alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-services-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-services-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-services-0-3 snd-pcm1-oss alias sound-services-0-12 snd-pcm1-oss Also maybe useful: peregrin:/etc/modutils# lsmod Module Size Used by ppp_deflate38660 0 (autoclean) bsd_comp3600 0 (autoclean) snd-card-als100 4020 0 snd-mpu401-uart 1472 0 [snd-card-als100] isapnp 22949 0 [snd-card-als100] snd-midi 12836 0 [snd-card-als100 snd-mpu401-uart] snd-seq-device 2896 1 [snd-card-als100] snd-sb16-dsp 15408 0 [snd-card-als100] snd-pcm1 17256 0 [snd-sb16-dsp] snd-mixer 29308 0 [snd-card-als100 snd-sb16-dsp] snd-pcm 8632 0 [snd-card-als100 snd-sb16-dsp snd-pcm1] snd-opl31760 0 [snd-card-als100] snd-hwdep 2412 0 [snd-card-als100 snd-opl3] snd-timer 8004 0 [snd-pcm1 snd-opl3] snd34080 1 [snd-card-als100 snd-mpu401-uart snd-midi sn seq-device snd-sb16-dsp snd-pcm1 snd-mixer snd-pcm snd-opl3 snd-hwdep snd-time unix9884 47 (autoclean) soundcore 2372 2 [snd] serial 19404 2 parport_pc 6964 1 (autoclean) lp 4956 0 (unused) parport 7060 1 [parport_pc lp] ppp20460 2 [ppp_deflate bsd_comp] slhc4232 1 [ppp] ne2k-pci3840 1 83905828 0 [ne2k-pci] rarp2864 0 (unused) umsdos 24192 0 (unused) ufs52736 0 (unused) sysv 23672 0 (unused) smbfs 25016 0 (unused) vfat8816 0 (unused) nfs28120 0 (unused) lockd 30888 0 [nfs] sunrpc 52132 0 [nfs lockd] autofs 8932 0 (unused) Anyway, there's no man page for amixer, and documentation for the alsautils package seems to be extremely scarce, so I'm hoping somebody knows what's going on, as I'm starting to get stumped.

Kernel 2.2.x and Physical Memory
Greetings, once again. If I'm not mistaken, I read that the 2.2.x Kernel and later no longer made you add: append=mem=128M ..to lilo.conf to get it to use more than 64MB of RAM (in my case, 128MB). I have 128MB of physical memory, yet it's only picking up 64 megs using Potato and 2.2.14. I've also read (please forgive me for not remembering where) that using `append' to force detection can cause weird things to happen. Should I just compile a new Kernel, or is just using append=mem=128M perfectly fine? Thanks, Brian

Strange kernel crashes
Hi! I have installed potato recently (with the 2.2.8 install disks) on my Athlon system (someone might remember the problems I had compiling a new kernel for it; well that hasn't _yet_ happpened). This system has 2.2.14, and I am experiencing a rather lot of crashes. Most of the time, these are just pointer de-references (NULL pointers instead of meaningful stuff), and ensuing kernel panics. One that happened today: Mar 27 11:10:50 faust kernel: Call Trace: [sys_select+270/1264] [system_call+52/56] Mar 27 11:10:50 faust kernel: Code: 8b 01 89 03 85 c0 74 27 8b 53 04 85 d2 75 0e 89 19 89 c8 2b Mar 27 11:10:55 faust kernel: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address Mar 27 11:10:55 faust kernel: current-tss.cr3 = 0268f000, %cr3 = 0268f000 Mar 27 11:10:55 faust kernel: *pde = Mar 27 11:10:55 faust kernel: Oops: Mar 27 11:10:55 faust kernel: CPU:0 Mar 27 11:10:55 faust kernel: EIP:0010:[kmalloc+75/336] Mar 27 11:10:55 faust kernel: EFLAGS: 00010006 Mar 27 11:10:55 faust kernel: eax: c029bec4 ebx: c3fe9fe0 ecx: edx: 0013 Mar 27 11:10:55 faust kernel: esi: c3fef080 edi: 0003 ebp: 0282 esp: c26bbd10 Mar 27 11:10:55 faust kernel: ds: 0018 es: 0018 ss: 0018 Mar 27 11:10:55 faust kernel: Process bash (pid: 259, process nr: 18, stackpage=c26bb000) Mar 27 11:10:55 faust kernel: Stack: 0003 c02ed520 c0134024 0013 0015 c029d7f0 c26bbe68 c26ba000 Mar 27 11:10:55 faust kernel:fff8 c011e9b5 c0244234 0080 0001 Mar 27 11:10:55 faust kernel: c24f13e0 0003 c02ed500 fff4 0029d804 Mar 27 11:10:55 faust kernel: Call Trace: [load_elf_binary+568/2576] [do_generic_file_read+1353/1364] [cprt+1300/23589] [file_read_actor+0/84] [read_exec+180/336] [read_exec+322/336] [search_binary_handler+60/260] Mar 27 11:10:55 faust kernel:[do_execve+384/488] [do_execve+417/488] [sys_execve+44/100] [system_call+52/56] Mar 27 11:10:55 faust kernel: Code: 8b 01 89 03 85 c0 74 27 8b 53 04 85 d2 75 0e 89 19 89 c8 2b Mar 27 11:12:57 faust syslogd 1.3-3#33: restart. I can't compile any kernel that doesn't suffer of similar problems earlier on (this happened when launching lynx, so the system boots up nicely). In general, I get this problems with all sorts of software. I don't know what's wrong here (could it be faulty memory?). I have tried re-compiling a kernel with the minimum amount of stuff I can get away with, but that doesn't seem to help at all. I must be forgetting something (and I'm using gcc not egcs, even though the problems are independent of whatever compiler I use). The sytesm is an AMD K7 %00 MHz, in an MSI-6167 motherboard with an IDE hdd, 64 megs of RAM and all that. I have downloaded and installed memtest86, but after a weekend of testing, it was still doing test #2. I don't know how to use this thing really :-/ Does anyone have any clues to what might be going wrong? BTW, I am going to be unsubscribing to the list for a while, as I'm not going to be around. Could you please CC replies to me as well, please?

Realplayer 7 and Esound
I have installed Realplayer 7 on my Linux box, running Potato with ALSA sound. But it works kind of weird, as when I try to play something on it, I get an error message Cannot open the audio device. Another application may be using it. If I then wait about five seconds not doing anything, and try again, it works fine. If I run Realplayer as root, this problem doesn't occour. (I AM in the Audio group as a user) I thought maybe this is because the sound devices are used by esound, (this is a bit awkward too, because my Esound uses the ALSA interface, and I think Realplayer uses the OSS emulation, and even when playing a sound, the WM sounds going through Esound can still be heard) the output device in the Preferences window of Realplayer to Esound support. But so, even though Esound _IS_ running, like this it doesn't work at all! This bug is more of a little annoyance than a real problem, but I am really curious what the cause could be... Daniel Szabo
KDE office
Does anybody know where the binaries for the kde office are, I can't find them in the corresponding /stable/potato/deb/i386 or so, whatever the name is in the kde ftp site.
Zircon irc client under Potato
When trying to run the aforementioned software, I get an error message saying file not found. All the dependencies (tk8, tcl8) are installed and well, as other packages depending on them run perfectly.

How to extract *.deb's from binary archive in /var/cache?
Hello, A little bit more in detail than in the subject: I use my online-machine here in the institute to download packages I need at home by simply installing them via apt/ftp and then take the downloaded files from /var/cache/apt, carry them home on a zip diskette and install them there with dselect. Now it semms that the downloaded files are not longer stored simply in /var/cache/apt but stored (compressed?) in one single file with the ending .bin. How can I extract the files from this file to take them home and install them ?

Re: ALSA Mixer Trouble
I don't have much experience with this myself, but have you tried adding --with-debug=detect or --with-debug=full switches to your ./configure line? (assuming you are compiling from the source) This may give you a bit more of an idea of what is going wrong in your various logs. pretty much like drinking from a firehose. Has anybody hehehe. No problem cc'ing people, but have you tried the digest and splitdigest? The only problem is messing up threading for everyone. Regards, Mark.

I believe it is - I posted with it to the mailing list some time ago and was told that it wasn't a valid/useful bug report because I couldn't say exactly what package was missing what dependency. My thoughts on the most likely problem, and someone pointing out a flaw in my theory, can probably be found in the list archives. If other people are having the same problem, then it should probably be fixed. In the last days, there were a significant number of posts in this list referring to this problem, so I also think that it should be fixed. By the way, I should amend the comments I made at the time. I postulated that some package (I forget which) didn't depend on another; the reply pointed out that the dependency actually was there. My theory now is that the dependency didn't specify the correct version of the package (I remember it just named the package, not a specific version). Looking at the Depends header in libgnomeui32 we can read: Depends: libgnome32, gdk-imlib1, libaudiofile0, libc6, libesd0, [...] ^^ We can see that the dependency is there, but you're right, the correct version isn't specified, I think it should be somethink like gdk-imlib1 (= 1.9.4), but I'm not sure. Knowing this new data, sending that bug report is OK, IMHO. What do you think? Regards, Luis M. Garcia
