108-key keyboard in Slink X Windows
Hey, I'm running Debian slink, and I just bought a linux keyboard from thelinuxstore.com, but I can't use all of it's buttons. It has three power-management buttons (making a total of 108 keys), but they aren't recognized in X Windows. I ran XF86Setup but the largest keyboard I found was 104 keys (other than the 106 key Japanese keyboard). So I was wondering if their is support for my keyboard, and if not, if potato will have a version of X Window that will work with this keyboard. thanks, Cameron Matheson

Can I ask why you want her to run GNU/Linux? (I mean, not that I don't want her running it...) Well to quote you: I'd rather see everyone running free software. Plus, I truly believe, that she wouldn't run into that many problems, resulting in her calling me less often. Now, don't get me wrong, I enjoy talking to my sister even if it's only over the phone. What I don't like, is having to troubleshoot Windows again and again. Especially if it's over the phone. I hear ya' I am always afraid to recommend linux to people who are not into computers, but still use their computers often. I think I'm afraid that, no matter what system they use, they will encounter many problems and frustrations. If they use linux, then, they will start to hate it and blame it just as much as they would have done to windows. Wait a second: Are you saying, non-techies shouldn't use Linux, so Linux won't get a bad reputation? That's hypocrisy. Instead, we (as in the developers of free software) should value the experiences of users that are just that: users. That's the only way, we can find out how to develop truly powerful UIs, since we can't afford those usability labs. That's not what I'm saying. I said I feel reluctant, I didn't say I don't do it. I'd rather explain the free software situation to someone and let them decide for themeselves if they agree or not and if they want to boycott proprietary software. You are right that the casual user helps improve interfaces. Is she saying that she knows how Windows works and how to fix things and she wants the same in Linux? Or is she saying if she installed Linux she would all of a sudden have an interest in knowing these things? [don't take that the wrong way, I'm having trouble wording this.] No, she doesn't know how Windows works. Nevertheless, she enjoys launching Tweak UI from the control panel, selecting the Paranoia tab, unselecting Play audio/data CD automatically and than she asks me, why her favorite audio CD won't play automatically play when loaded into the CD tray. The example is off the top of my head and exagerated, but you do get the idea, don't you? Sigh... Sometimes I wish that no one had ever tried to make computers easy. I mean, a computer is a complex thing, why try to hide the complexity so that when it breaks (if only it would never break...) no one knows what to do. The book In the Begining was the Command Line (can't rember the author) uses an analogy to H.G. Wells' The Time Machine where in the future, the human race has split in two into Morlocks and Eloi. I'm not very familiar with the book, but the Morlocks do all the work and make everything while the Eloi sit around and eat fruit. Hopefully, things will never come to this. Why not? It's like this right now. A few month ago, a water pipe leaked in my kitchen's wall? Now, did I tear down the wall and fixed the leak myself? Hell, no! I called the block's maintenance office and had them send a plumber. Same with computers. Of course, I don't recommend calling tech support when the CDs don't play automatically, but than again: Why does the average user, that only want's to surf the web, edit text, and play games have to buy a machine as complex and powerful as a PC. It's not like that right now; I don't call the plumber to turn the faucet off. They have to have a complex PC because money loving corporations have created the need through advertising and through the technology rat race. When the industry came up with the idea of set-top boxes, that let you surf the web on the TV, I didn't like it at first, because, it hided the PCs complexity, thus watering down its strength. But, that's because I like to play around with the computer and change the settings and see what happens. If I hose my root partition while doing so? No problem, I knew in the first place, that what I was doing is risky and I know how to fix it. But the everage user doesn't. Why then, does he have the power to screw up his entire system, and unnecessarily so? So the set-top box for the TV is a perfect idea for the user, that just want's to surf the web in his living room. Just like the gaming console is the perfect idea for the 10-year-old, who only want's to play games and doesn't care a bit about programming and stuff.

re-writing e-mail
Hey all! A quick question. Is there a way to rewrite e-mail addresses with exim without having the rewritten domain being considered as local? Am I making sense? Okay, I'm setting up a professor's computer who is on the school's LAN. Mail is recieved via a IMAP server (I've setup fetchmail to start on login). Currently mail is sent via a mailserver. (I'm not sure whether it can be sent directly on the LAN. Have to look at how it was done before...) In any case, I want to rewrite the outgoing messages to have the following domain, po-box.mcgill.ca. However, I don't want that domain to be treated locally since my prof has to sent e-mails to his collegues. eximconfig does it this way, so any messages sent to name@po-box.mcgill.ca, bounce. So if anyone has the quick and dirty, I'd greatly appreciate it. Otherwise I have a lot of RTFMs to do. Thanks. Marshal

Re: How do I stop my machine logging on to IP every 5 minutes?
Further to my previous post, I have discovered the cause of the connections, but do not know how to stop them. I set isdnctrl to give me a more verbose log and on doing dmesg | xless I could see the following immediately before every auto connection: OPEN: 62.136.66.48 - 192.168.1.10 UDP, port: 513 - 513 On consulting /etc/sevices I can see that port 513 is used for whod. OK. Progress, but what is whod and do I need it? I have looked at the docs and man page, but am none the wiser. I do not have a network - my machine is standalone apart from an ISDN connection to the Internet using an internal ISDN card. Thanks again. -- Phillip Deackes Using Storm Linux 2000

When is something going to be done about the fact that there are always RPMs of something released before there are DEBs? most KDE people are not debian users or developers. So they make packages for what they use. Of all the GNOME and KDE programs I've kept track of, I can't personally name any where the DEBs were made before RPM. GNOME is some 70% RH. KDE is mostly Caldera and SuSE with some RH. For what it is worth, Ivan Moore is getting Debian changes into the KDE cvs, if you grab all of the source, you can build your own debs. I am experimenting with this now. I have also mailed him to see if we can get a cron'ed KDE compilation. But the easy answer is simply that people on the actual development teams are not debian people. And also, it isn't a race. Plus, face facts, for better or for worse, far more people use RPMs than use DEBs. Bart's suggestion is the best of all.

Re: Newbie Slink install CDROM problem on old computer
If you are like me and your CDROM is hanging off a soundcard or add-in card, then hda-hdd isn't enough. If this is your case, you need to add a mount point. I had that problem with my /dev/hde. If this is your case and you need to add a mount point, log in as root: cd /dev ls -l hdh (to see if you already have one) if not ./MAKEDEV -n -v hdh (-v is verbose, -n is simulate) Umm, I'm not trying to be rude, but the above might be confusing. /dev/hd* is not a mount point but a device. The mount point can be any directory. For a cdrom, it's often /mnt/cdrom/ or /cdrom/.

I collect mail manually using Fetchmail and have it passed on to Exim for distribution using .forward. Perhaps I've misunderstood you, but the normal operation of fetchmail is to pass retrieved messages on to an MTA (such as exim) listening on localhost:25. You don't have to use .forward for this - if you're using .forward to have exim pass messages back to itself, I would expect your mail to get caught in a loop. (Possibly infinite or possibly just redundant; I'm not sure whether exim is smart enough to detect that it's just forwarded a message to itself and not forward that message again.) If you're not running your own DNS, exim would then bring the link back up at each iteration in an attempt to look up the IP address of the machine it's forwarding to.

Hi Matt, I recently just setup my epson 1520. I'd imagine from what I read that they're fairly similar. I tried using magicfilter, and ran into similar problems. I wound up using apsfilter. Setting up the printer was easy. I wound up with several printer defs. ascii, so I can print from mutt and the console (lpr -P ascii), a couple stcolor printer defs for printing in color, and a raw def that I'm using for the windows machines to print on (samba). It works great, I love this printer. qualification: it was easy after I figured out that the reason the test page printed errors was because I needed to install gsfonts. If you dont install the gsfonts package, printing postscript files wont work. Netscape prints out in ps format.

Re: Subject: LS-120 install
It's a lot more tricky. Basically with a compliant x86 system the BIOS calls that access the FDC/FDD are translated into ATAPI calls so REAL-MODE accesses work. This allows bootloaders such as syslinux to transparantly boot floppy disks in one of these drives. I don't know how this happens in detail, but it is the observed behaviour. However, when the kernel takes control it looks specifically for an FDC and checks in the BIOS data area to learn what physical devices are registered there. So basically why disk change doesn't work with LS-120 drives is that the kernel recognises fd0 and fd1 only being legacy floppy devices. This might change as part of devfs, but I really don't understand the inner kernel or BIOS workings to be able to more than just guess.

Actually you need two floppy disk images (at least) the boot disk, and the root disk. The boot disk has the kernel, the root disk has the rest of the system (includes the installer). However (someone correct me if I'm wrong) the disks were written to run on a real floppy NOT off an ide-floppy (which the ls120 is) and would probably die at the point that you tried to insert the the root disk and hit return, it would never find the root disk since it was looking at /dev/fd0, not /dev/hdxx where the ls120 is! I have never managed to install of an ls120 so I still have a floppy in my computers.along with an ls120. I bet zip drives have the same problem.

Creating booklets with Latex
Hello! About a week ago I wrote to this list and asked about creating booklets with latex. I got many replies, several helped me alot. Now I have a new problem with the booklet making. The problem: The booklet is supposed to be in A6 format. So I wrote the text on A5 used psbook to make A5 booklets, this far it worked fine. Then I got the brilliant idea to print two booklets simontanuosly on a A4. This is good because then I can have red cover and white pages, and when I've printed the pages I just cut horizontally and I have two booklets with a nice cover. This however proved to difficult for me. I cant even get one fold of the booklet to print correctly on a A4. This is how its supposed to look ._. | | | | | Back Front | | | | | |_| | | | | | Back Front | | | | | |_| Does anybody have any ideas how to go about to do this? /nisse My print quota at school is running low after all the testing :(

Forget windows, partition your hd (lets say: 600 mb corel (both / and /usr/) 600 mb mandrake (both / and /usr/) and a few other partitions (for both distribution) eg. 6,5 gb for /home 700 mb for /var Ron Rademaker PS. Why use 2 different linux distributions? Just use Debian and you'll have all you need! PPS. You can of course always leave a 1 gb ext2 partition untouched where you can try and test some other distributions... PS2. If you really need windows (I can only imagine you do if you like to play lots of different games), you could give it some space and install it (remember 2000 will need AT LEAST 650 mb for the installation ONLY, damn that's BIG, and still they can't get it stable).

I just noticed this thread, and even though it's late I thought I'd chip in since I didn't see a resolution. I had problems mounting NTFS unless I said read-only. From fstab: /dev/hda3 /ms/h ntfsdefaults,ro,uid=1000,gid=1001 0 2 You need to be on potato for this to work, but I think you confirmed that you were (Deb 2.2, *not* the one in your signature).

Not useful to run X without a window manager... Just for testing, but according to you accounting --- No cursor in xdm --- it doesn't sound like the window manager is goofing in setting the cursor style. Well, this is a new one for me. One thing you might try: Copy /etc/X11/XF86Config to /etc/X11/XF86Config.bak Run XF86Setup, when it asks to use your old configuration, say no. Then if you still don't get a cursor their must be something broken in the X files you have. Otherwise, try to reconfigure X and, if it works, try to find out what might be different between the new XF86Config and the backup copy you made. -- ¶ One·should·only·use·the·ASCII·characterset·when·compos » ing·email·messages.
Want to use module source to access file system
I have a trashed NTFS partition, and am hoping to repair it. I thought the NTFS module source would be a good place to start. I would prefer not to use it as a module, but just drive it from a program. I'm hoping to find where the damage is and see if any of the backup copies (e.g., the mirror MFT) are any good. I also though stepping through the program would be informative, but I don't know how to do that for a module. I looked at the appropriate sources, and noticed several things: 1) It's designed to work as a module; how to use it directly is not immediately obvious since it's expecting various kernel inputs. It might also need to be privileged to run... 2) It can produce helpful output if compiled with DEBUG. So I figured I'd just compile it, load it, and watch it fail. But 3) It seems to need to be compiled as part of the full kernel in terms of having the right environment variables set up. I'd appreciate any pointers. I'm trying to do this in the kernel-package framework. It has some modules targets, but it seems to want to build them all, and it wants them in /usr/src/modules, even though that's not where the kernel source naturally ends up. I know I could make a link, but I suspect more might be involved.

Re: Limiting Access
Quoth Peter Good, usergrouptelnet ftp access10 no yes access20 no yes shells yes yes allothers yes yes It's a web hosting box, that also hosts shell accounts. the people with webpage packages don't need telnet and all webpage accounts have their own directory structure, eg /home/webpageusers/username Change the shell of the users who you don't want to allow interactive logins (ssh and telnet) to something that will disallow them shell access, such as /bin/true (or /bin/nologin, i think someone once suggested). Add that shell to /etc/shells, so that the ftp daemon will see it as a valid shell and allow them ftp access. I don't know how you'd do it for groups, but this certainly works on a per-user basis. cheers, damon -- Damon Muller ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) / It's not a sense of humor. * Criminologist / It's a sense of irony * Webmeister / disguised as one. * Linux Geek / - Bruce Sterling - Running Debian GNU/Linux: Doing my bit for World Domination (tm) - pgp8YuFUHOsZU.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: Broken startup; syslogd hangs...
Interesting, and thanks for the note. The notable thing here is that this system was perfectly working before the re-boot, running X, Apache, servlets, etc.. Then the re-boot killed stuff. I had unintentionally laid the problem basis, resorted an old fstab, and .. now, what else! So, I don't think it is any hardware. I scanned the tar archive, but couldn't find anything else dangerous that got restored..
