Volvi a hacer un make zImage i vi que el zImage que tenia que copiar a /(o /boot) era el mismo que el de /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/compressed.

postgresql y www-pgsql
He instalado postgresql y la librería libpgtcl (para gestionar la base de datos por TCL/TK) y la librería libpgperl (para scrip cgi en web) y el www-pgsql para gestionar la base de datos por web. El postgresql y el pgaccess (que viene ocn libpgtcl) lo he probado y va bien. No he usado todavía la libpgperl. El problema lo tengo con www-pgsql. No sé como hacer para que Apache interprete los ficheros .sql y arranque www-pgsql. Debian me deja el ejecutable www-pgsql en /usr/lib/cgi-bin. En apache hay un alias de tal forma que los cgi-bin va a buscarlos a /usr/lib/cgi-bin. De hecho los .cgi de perl me corren perfectamente en Apache. En la ayuda de www-pgsql me dice lo siguiente: # cat srm.conf #-- www-sql begin # The following configures Apache to treat .sql files as # to be interpreted by www-sql. This means that you can retrieve # these directly as http://server/file.sql, instead of as # http://server/cgi-bin/www-sql/file.sql. # Change www-mysql to www-pgsql as appropriate. AddHandler www-sql sql Action www-sql /cgi-bin/www-mysql #-- www-sql end Yo he metido estas lineas en apache modificando www-mysql por www-pgsql que es el fichero generado por Debian. AddHandler www-pgsql .sql Action www-pgsql /cgi-bin/www-pgsql Pero con estas modificaciones, no me arranca apache diciendo lo siguiente: Syntax error on line 169 of /etc/apache/srm.conf: Invalid command 'Action', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration La línea 169 es la correspondiente a Action Si borro la linea Action y ejecuto un fichero llamado example.sql, el error.log de apache me dice [Mon Jun 12 10:41:58 2000] [warn] [client 10.16.96.202] handler www-pgsql not found for: /usr/lib/cgi-bin/example.sql pero el fichero www-pgsql se encuentra en /usr/lib/cgi-bin donde lo ha instalado dpkg y el apache me muestra el fichero sin interpretar de example.sql html headtitleTelephone Numbers/title/head body H1Telephone Numbers/H1 etc. Quisiera saber qué estoy haciendo mal, o es preciso cargar en apache algún módulo para que me entienda el www-pgsql.

Wheel mouse not working...oy.
Yep, another cheesebag who can't get his stupid M$ Wheel Mouse to work with Debian. I'm stumped...after consulting all the messages and info about getting it to work, it just refuses to. Maybe after the breakup it will? Sarcasm... Anyway, I've got a basic M$ Wheel Mouse(tm) connected to my PS/2 port. I'm running slink (with some random bits from unstable when I needed them), 2.0.36 and XFree86 3.3.5-1 using the SVGA server.

From everything I've seen, it SHOULD work. I know the wheel works, as it performs just fine in that OTHER OS that I don't wanna mention. It works great in X as a middle mouse button...but that damned wheel won't do a thing for me. And I HAVE tried messing around with imwheel to a small degree but couldn't get it to do anything for me either. If anyone can at least point me in the right direction, please let me know. All things considered, it's a minor problem...but once you get used to using the stupid wheel, you go nuts without it. It's the crack of pointing devices, methinks.

Re: The Thrill of Debian Gnu/Linux
Hmm, Hello John, sounds like you've had lots of problems? Well here's my two pennyworth... What I like to do when installing Debian on a new system is to follow all the prompts until it asks whether I would like to install one of the specified package sets or a custom install. Then select 'custom', but don't select any packages with deselect. Re-boot and run deselect install, configure, remove, quit. You will end up with a system will all of the base packages installed but nothing else, you can then re-run dselect and 'cherry pick' exactly what you want installed on your system. After the initial install dselect should go through the select, install, configure, remove cycle without any complaints about anything missing or any unmet dependencies.

Re: Install problem with AHA 2940 SCSI (older PC)
I partitioned the HD into a 925 MB linux partition (type 83) and an 80 MB Linux swap partition (type 82). I tried this setup because the install manual suggested as much swap space as you have memory. IIRC, and this is for all you people who used to run NT Server on the box and therefore probably had lots of memory just to get it to boot (:-), swap only uses the first 128MB of a swap partition, so don't waste disk space on large swap partitions, create multiple partitions of 128MB. Cheers, Jason.
Re: SIOCADDRT: Invalid Parameters
Umm, two aspects I can think of: (1) in kernel 2.2.x -net isn't required at all iirc, so route add 127.0.0.1 lo should be enough.

new Debian user
Hi all, I am new to the Debian fold and I am afraid that I am having trouble adjusting from my RedHat/Mandrake familiarity. Some of these questions may not be so Debian related so sorry in advance. I am in the process of setting up a potato test-cycle 1 system that I bought from some very nice people at the Linux Conference in London recently for £7 including source. A good deal I would say :) Can anybody recommend a Debian specific users guide (for the not so newbie)? I have an advansys scsi controller and 4GB IBM scsi hard drive. I also have a brand new Maxtor Ultra ATA 66 29GB drive with promise controller. I installed the system to the scsi drive without a hitch. The boot up script system is similar enough but where is chkconfig? I get a really strange NFS timeout error complaining about AF_INET not being set, any ideas? I would like to install Debian to the ATA66 drive but I can't find a kernel compile option to do this. The prebuilt IDE kernel image recognizes this but cannot mount it as there is no filesystem on it. Do I have to download a patch to the kernel sources provided? I cannot get X to play nicely with my Creative Labs Geforce DDR. Is there some utility besides the horrendous xf86config that I can use? I really like the attention to detail that is apparent in Debian. I like the package system, I just need to read up on it more, I guess that's what the FAQ is for. thanks in advance, Anthony

Kernel Panic!..VFS.....
Could anyone give me a brief on the general procedure of troubleshooting the following problem? When my machine boots up, Linux is auto-probing the hardware, then it stops and pops up an error message Kernel Panic..VFS I tried to use a 'rescue' disk and did the e2fsck, but it said the '/' partition was clean. I could mount the '/' partition and navigate the directories, but just can't boot up? What could be wrong? Many thanks for your help!

Can anyone tell me how I can place another hard drive into the Linux 2.1 box, copy everything from drive 1 to drive 2 and then come up on drive 2?

setting up multi boot system
Hello I've never run any kind of other operating system besides windows and I was considering setting up debian on one of my workstations at the office since its the only place I have computer and internet access. I still need to keep windows and absolutely under no circumstances can I have one of these machines out of order. It'll be my job. So my question is, is it realistic to partition my drive and set up debian and what not and still expect to be able to use windows even if something weird is going on with debian? I would think that you would get an option on which drive to boot from before either operating system is being used right? Probably a stupid question but I couldn't find an answer anywhere else.

Re: setting up multi boot system
I have set up several dual-boot systems (linux-windows3.1, linux-NT, and linux-w98). If you have partition magic, I have had success shrinking the vfat partition and creating linux partitions. However, if the linux partition is far from the master boot-block, then you will, I think, need to use a boot-floppy that points to the linux partition. There is an option for this during the Debian install. The same is true if you choose to put linux on a separate disk. Understand that you cannot run the two OS's simultanesously without something like vm-ware. Arthur H. Edwards 712 Valencia Dr. NE Abq.

Best way to copy Linux from one drive to another
What is the best way to copy my Debian installation from one disk to another? I am trying to do transfer my current install from a smaller drive to a larger one. I installed, partitioned and formatted the new drive with the same partitions as the smaller one. Then, I copied each partition in turn (/, /root, /home, /opt, /var, /usr) to the appropriate partition on the new drive with cp -a small-drive-partition /mnt/new-drive-partition. When I boot (from floppy) to the new drive, I am told that /var/lock, /var/run/utmp don't exist. urandom start: fails. Then, when system switches to run level 2, syslogd hangs. But, all the /var files and directories did get copied. Is there a problem with my approach, and a better way to do this? Thanks in advance. mike

My first try would be booting from the slink CDs. If that is too
limited you can check the rescue disks from Debian
(/cdrom/debian/dists/slink/main/{root,resc1440}.bin, see the textfiles
in that directory), the the Bootdisk-HOWTO
(http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Bootdisk-HOWTO/index.html), or the
various mini Linuxen (µLinux and the like).
Or you could use cp -av /old /new 2/cp-err 1/cp-msgs after having
mkfs'd and mounted the new drive. Then check cp-err and cp-msgs after
it's done. You could probably also use rsync if you have that installed.
It's definatelly better to use cp because it won't create that large
file, but I've forgotten the switches to cp.

Many thanks, Jason. Hmm, ok, but the networks file is stock, set up by the debian install. I have upgraded the kernel from 2.0.38 to 2.2.15 - would this be the route of the problem? --
Re: HDA is crashing..How can I duplicate it?
My first try would be booting from the slink CDs. If that is too
limited you can check the rescue disks from Debian
(/cdrom/debian/dists/slink/main/{root,resc1440}.bin, see the
textfiles
in that directory), the the Bootdisk-HOWTO
(http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Bootdisk-HOWTO/index.html), or the
various mini Linuxen (µLinux and the like).
Thanks I'll look into that.
Or you could use cp -av /old /new 2/cp-err 1/cp-msgs after
having
mkfs'd and mounted the new drive. Then check cp-err and cp-msgs after
it's done. You could probably also use rsync if you have that
installed.
It's definatelly better to use cp because it won't create that large
file, but I've forgotten the switches to cp.
Do it as I suggested above. FYI:

Re: HDA is crashing..How can I duplicate it?
One of the newgroups I read contained the following, does anyone know if this works with 2.1. I believe it was for potato but being a very new linux person, I couldn't tell you the differences. install new hd in the system 1.. 2. partition it and mke2fs 2.. 3. mount it to /mnt 3.. 4. execute find / -xdev | cpio -vdump /mnt 4.. 5. repeat 2,3,4 for any other partition you want to copy - say if you have separate /var /home ... 5.. 6. make rescue/root disks from .bin files. Note that if you use modern e2fs tools they would create ext2 with sparse superblock on and you will not be able to use slink rescue. I used potato rescue... 6.. 7. put new disk into permanent position 7.. 8. reboot, load with rescue disk and tell where the root is: rescue root=/dev/hda1 for example 8.. 9. edit /etc/lilo.conf and rerun lilo 10. remove floppy and reboot - you should be able to boot from new HD now good luck OK PS: backup !!! As a serious newbie, where can I find documentation or something on mke2fs, e2fs, etc? Also, being this box was up prior to my arrival, and those that build are now gone, can you create a rescue disk to do the above from the command line?

It's a perfectly reasonable thing to want, since that way you get Debianized kernel-image packages with any settings that the Debian kernel maintainers consider useful (i.e. the settings in the distributed kernel-image packages). Such packages exist, as you would see if you did a simple 'apt-cache search kernel-source'. I believe 2.2.14 may have been removed due to security holes, but I'm not sure. You might try using make-kpkg (in kernel-package) on the normal kernel source, which will give you a Debian package.

Re: esound (woody) broken?
Oh, well... I can play mp3s here. What are you using to play them? In xmms, try chosing the OSS driver instead of esound. The only thing that's not working here is esound. BTW, I'm running woody. GNOME plays sounds through esd. If esd is not running, and sound is enabled in GNOME, and an app issues a sound, then GNOME pauses or hangs up. So one wants esd to be running. I had a problem getting esd running. After a day of tinkering I discovered that the problem was that my loopback device was not configured. The solution was to do ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1. esd accesses the sound hardware through the special device files. (I guess the exact file depends upon whether you are using the esound or the esound-alsa package.) I found that when I ran xmms with the OSS or ALSA output plugin, so that it was accessing the sound hardware directly through these files, esd and in turn GNOME would be blocked. But when I selected the esound output plug for xmms the problem went away. The purpose of esd, after all, is to allow multiple processes to access the sound hardware simultaneously without blocking one another. Thomas Hood

| Hmm, ok, but the networks file is stock, set up by the debian | install. I have upgraded the kernel from 2.0.38 to 2.2.15 - would | this be the route of the problem? Yes, this is why you're getting the SIOCADDRT error messages. Actually, one of the changes between slink and potato that's not that easy to find out about (it seems to me anyway) is that the use of the /etc/initd./networking script is deprecated in favour of a new system in which the commands ifup and ifdown (run at boot time) bring the necessary interfaces up or down and do the necessary configuration. The behaviour of those commands is controlled in turn by files in the directory /etc/network/ the most relevant one being the file `interfaces'. The default settings in this file seem to assume a 2.2.x series kernel. Editing the file in a minimal way (uncommenting the line for the loopback interface, putting in the relevant local numbers) and deleting or re-naming the old /etc/init.d/networking script should take care of the error messages as well as bringing you to the happy state of not using any `deprecated' mechanisms. The advantages of this system are discussed briefly in the man page for ifup/ifdown, Jim
