Ca y est, j'ai resolu mon probleme avec pppd : trois jours a m'arracher les cheveux sur le net ... cependant, en testant et en essayant de l'upgrader, j'ai installé deux versions unstable ppp-2.4.1 et libc6-2.4.4 parce ppp en dependait le probleme de libc6 c'est que certains packages cherchent maintenant son ancienne version, car pour arriver a l'installer je suis allé a la methode barbare avec dpkg maintenant j'arrive plus a passer a la version precedente, et ce ni avec apt-get (apt-get install --reinstall libc6-.deb), ni avec dpkg -r Ce dernier veut un programme repondant au nom de ldconfig En faisant un apt-cache search ldconfig bah ca me renvoie rien ... snifff Je suis allé sur le site de debian, dans la rubrique sur les packages et la impossible de le trouver aussi. Y a pas quelqu'un qui veut m'aider ? sachant que si je fait un apt-get remove libc6 il me propose d'enlever les 3/4 de ce qu'il y a sur mon disque Je vais pas reinstaller pour un malheureux package quand meme !!! merci d'avance a tous pour vos reponses j'ai une question subsidiaire : j'ai installé gnome a l'installe, j'ai bien des executables gnome-xxx, dont gnome-session, mais comme faire pour lancer gnome au lieu de wmaker ?? j'ai essayé de rajouter un exec gnome-session a mon ~/.xinitrc mais ca n'y change rien Ya forcement quelqu'un qui pourra me repondre ici !! merci d'avance @+ gregoire ps : encore une question : comment est-ce que certains font pour avoir une signature aleatoire avec une citation sympa ?? Quel programme ou plugin installer ?? Bonjour, Sur le site des pacquets debian il faut chercher dans le second champ pour ldconfig et il te dit que le soft est fourni par la libc6. A propos de la libc6, le malheureux package, il faut savoir que c'est la librairie dynamique des fonctions C, en claire (si j'ai bien compris) la plus part des programmmes en C lui font appel (il n'y en pas beaucoup qui s'en passe) donc c'est LE pacquet important Si tu veux installer la version précédente tu peux essayer apt-get --force-yes (après bien sur avoir lu la page de manuel de apt-get !!!). Je n'ai jamais essayé cette option donc. Conseil pour plus tard évites la méthode bourin avec dpkg. Le apt-get de woody est très puissant et je crois me rappeler que nicolasxx (Boos) a fait un pacquet de ce logiciel pour potato (chercher son site dans les archives) puis en lire la doc autour de l'option -t et puis il y a -s qui permet de simuler ce qui peut éviter de faire de grosses bétises (perso parmis les pacquets que je ne veux absolument pas passer en unstable il y a la libc6 ..). Par ailleurs tu peux aussi essayé apt-get -b source ton_pacquet_ppp NB: pour gnome, il lui faut un window manager, (eg comme WM), essai sawmill il va bien avec gnome... (mettre sawmill sur la première ligne du xinitrc puis exec gnome-session sur la seconde, si mes souvenirs sont bons. Bon courage. Bruno D.

Re: Potato et SpeedTouch : mariage difficile ?
Pour Potato je suis sur le pb. SpeedTouch en ce moment... La première étape serait à mon avis de passer en 2.4.9 par exemple. Pour ça, tu dois rajouter dans ton /etc/apt/sources.list la ligne suivante : deb http://people.debian.org/~bunk/debian potato main qui va mettre à jour les binutils, modutils et autres pppd nécessaires à une bonne coopération avec 2.4. Ca marche très bien. La suite coule de source puisque tu l'as fait pour Linux RatHead 7.

este interrogante el apt busca los paquetes a actualizar/instalar/desinstalar

Digamos que apt viene a actuar como front end de dpkg. No son lo mismo.
dpkg funciona más a bajo nivel: no se encarga de buscar paquetes ni nada
por el estilo: simplemente gestiona su instalación/desinstalación (y otras
cosas).
apt no instala los paquetes, sino que los busca e invoca a dpkg para que éste
se encarge de instalarlos. Además, apt resuelve las dependencias, cosa
que dpkg no hace por sí sólo.
La siguiente pregunta/consulta es si alguien podra decirme cuales son las
lineas del sources.list para pasar de potato a woody ya que se que woody a

es ese un canal *oficial* de debian?,hay otros en castellano?
Yo normalmente entro en el irc-hispano: ahí hay un canal #debian. Para ello
necesitas un cliente de irc (aunque creo que hay acceso mediante la web
del irc-hispano: www.irc-hispano.org).
Si te decantas por un cliente en lugar de un acceso web, tienes distintas
alternativas: yo empecé con xchat (bastante sencillo de usar... es para
X-window).
Pero actualmente me peleo con bitchx (para consola... genial)... aunque andan
por ahí otros como el irssi y un largo etcétera. Si usas potato, haz un
$ apt-cache search irc
y fíjate en los resultados.
En cualquiera de estos haces una conexión a un servidor como
libres.irc-hispano.org,
o irc.irc-hispano.org... y hay otros. Y desde ahí puedes acceder a ese canal
(/join #debian).

G'day DanSV, All Linux hardware support is dependent on the kernel / software installed so if you can get support for one video card with one distribution you can get it for all the other, with maybe a bit of work. IMHO Debian Testing is the best choice for a home PC, you get current versions of all the main programs very good support from other users in list like this ( It might be a good idea not to continue to post HTML messages though :) and it very stable. The best way to get a Debian testing install is to do a plain debian install then edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file and replace all the stables with testings and do an apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade this will take quite some time I've heard good things about Progeny but haven't used it my self, the Progeny web-site says Progeny Debian, a commercial version of Debian, is now available for purchase, which includes a printed manual, support, and 90-days of Progeny Service Network. Progeny Debian is also available for download. Progeny Debian provides an enhanced feature set that includes easy graphical installation, hardware detection support, and improved configuration and management tools.

I don't know if it's significant, but I didn't supply any arguments to ./configure. Neither did I. :) I made a link in /etc/gconf/schemas to /usr/local/etc/gconf/schemas/galeon.schemas. Ok, done. As you say, it didn't work---same error. That should have worked but it didn't. Then I discovered the entries in ~/.gconf/schemas/apps/galeon/ had owners.group values of group.group instead of yap.yap . Changed that, and galeon now starts up fine. Oops! The above was a red herring. Using a different user account which had never ran galeon before, I started galeon and I got the starting galeon for the first time dialogues. So the galeon schema directories I had mentioned above should not play any role on whether galeon starts or not.

XFree86\xf86cfg system crash
okay, so after learning that XF86Setup is not working anymore (why did they do that? it seemed like a really good prog) i've installed xserver-XFree86, etc. so that i could run XFree86 (and in effect, xf86cfg which is dependent on it). So i installed the packages, and just ran XFree86 as root with no arguments to make sure that it was installed and everything, which it is\was. Then I ran XFree86 -configure (one of the suggested XF86Setup replacements i was referred to), and.. nothing. Screen goes blank and I have to hit ctrl-alt-delete several times before it reboots okay. So then, being somewhat stubborn, I try to run xf86cfg which yields the same results. Maybe I should go with the old adage If you want something done right, do it yourself and edit the configuration file manually. My dilemma is that my mouse isn't recognized. When i just run the X sever by itself ( '$ X' ) , it starts but the mouse doesn't move, and startx complains about an invalid argument in relation to /dev/mouse. So i guess i just need to edit the pointer section of the config file. I've got the standard Microsoft mouse with a little roll button dealie, and pretty much a standard debian configuration, so what should i call the protocol and what's the device file (and anything else i probably should tack on there)? Init isn't starting gpm so i think its just a configuration file problem. But all the same, this xf86cfg thing has gotten kind of personal... i mean, i just want to be able to get it to work for no other reason than its really bothering me (well, not that much but still). So any theories a/b why xf86cfg and XFree86 -configure are crashing my system?

I repeatedly get the error message: eth1: Something Wicked Happened! 18000 Hmmm, the Rx status steck overflowed. I don't see this with my driver release. This is very unusual -- either the driver misconfigured the chip, or the chip couldn't get any PCI bus bandwidth to transfer Rx descriptors. Could that be the fault of a buggy BIOS or chipset? For what it's worth, I saw this problem on both a FIC PA2013 motherboard (I forget the pci chipset used there) and an ABIT KT7A with a VIA Apollo KT133 chipset. It could be the fault of a BIOS that configures the card with a too-low PCI latency timer. Too low is referenced to other devices on the PCI bus, not an absolute value. That's pretty unlikely, unless the interrupt is blocked for a really long time. That's a problem with another driver on the system, not with sharing IRQs. Interesting. I should swap the card back in and see which other devices the card is sharing IRQs with. I did move it to a different slot at one pointin an attempt to make sure it was sharing interrupts with different devices, but maybe it still got stuck sharing with a buggy driver. It doesn't matter (much) which other devices the natsemi chip is sharing IRQs with. The problem is any other driver which blocks interrupt service. As usual, my primary reply is that I don't support modified drivers. If you touch it, you should be willing to test and maintain the whole driver. I will debug problems that you can reproduce on an original driver. I had no trouble duplicating the problem in the original driver (assuming, of course, that the version of natsemi.c included in Linux 2.4 counts as original). No, it doesn't. Read the source code and you'll see it was modified. ... There was a SCSI card in the configuration (using the sym53c8xx driver), so that may have been involved. But as I said, I don't know right now which cards were sharing IRQs. I suspect the SCSI driver played a role in the problem.

The following awk script should get you started:
#!/usr/bin/awk -f
{
first=$1
last=$2
user= substr( tolower( first ), 1, 1 ) tolower( last )
uid=1000+NR
gid=uid
printf( %s:password:%d:%d:%s %s,,/home/$1$2:/bin/bash\n, \
user, uid, gid, first, last, uid \
)
}
Save that as newusers.awk and make it executable. Invoke with:
$ ./newusers.awk userlist
...where userlist is as you specify.
If you provide passwords as a third field, you can modify the script to
generate a password as well.

Problem with the installaion of debian locking up
Blank Problem: Debian CD B1 bombs either when choosing modules, or before (can even happen right off the bat, scrolling through the keyboard selection screen!) The suggested way to install Debian is to use the CD's; so bought some, and I can boot from them. However, in the early part, after partitioning (although this can happen even before then), when I am scrolling through the lists (like when choosing the modules to install) I will be using the arrow keys, or the PageUp/PageDown keys, and suddenly a keystroke will cause what appears to be a NewLine, making a blank (black) interruption of the screen for one text line, and then everything locks up. Nothing can be done except to hit a hard RESET. I first began trying to install Debian via downloads, I had planned on finishing up with a Network install (I have cable modem Internet service). Then, I tried using a copy of Debian from the back of the book, Learning Debian/GNU Linux. Finally, I bought the latest version (Potato) of Debian from the Computer Help Guy in Canada (www.chguy.net). All of these installation programs acted the same way. I suspect a problem with hardware compatibility with my AGP slot ATI RAGE 128 video card (it seems to be not listed in the hardware compatibility list, although other, similar ATI cards are listed). I have used other Linux distros before; esp. RedHat (up to 6.1), and SuSE 6.4 (SuSE is TOO EASY! Not at all a challenge, everything is done FOR you! sheesh! ;-) I have read the installation manual online; and I have gone through and read the FAQs and other stuff; but I really don't know what to make of this curious install program bombing, or locking up or whatever. I never get very far, never get to see the program actually working. One idea that I have is to install a different distro of Linux, then use it to build a new kernel image for Debian that has video card support--but what if the problem isn't the video card? Plus I have never built a new kernel before (I suppose it's about time ! ;-) Anyway, I just wanted to ask if anyone recognizes this problem before I go to such extremes.

That depends on how your windows partitions were mounted.

I think that what the original poster wants to do is to mount the dos

it has to be done as root, using sudo, otherwise you get messages about

xawtv questions
Hi! Yesterday i tried my first installation of my tv card (BT878) and my first try to run it with xawtv. It seems to be very god. I can watch tv and have a fine result. But there are two warnings if i run xawtv in gnome-terminal: This is xawtv-3.55, running on Linux/i686 (2.4.5) WARNING: Your X-Server has no DGA support. WARNING: couldn't find framebuffer base adress, try manual configuration (v4l-conf -a addr) What is DGA support? And why is xawtv running, if it don't know the framebuffer adress? Then: xawtv only runs in mode grabdisplay. Overlay don't work but my tv card can work with this. And: I have the Hauppage WinTV stereo. But i can only hear the tv sound in mono. It is not possible to change the settings in audio options to stereo. Only autodetect and mono are possible to click. Why? Timo

Re: swapon and raid systems
I have a couple of systems that use kernel RAIDs (specifically, mirrors). The systems also have regular (non-mirrored) partitions for swap. When the systems boot, the swap partitions don't get installed. I have isolated it to the fact that the boot scripts first grep for resync in /proc/mdstat, and only run swapon if the grep fails (i.e, there's no resync string in /proc/mdstat). Which boot script is that? I can understand the logic of not wanting to swap on an md device that's getting a RAID resync, but it surprises me that even non-mirrored swap would be passed over as well. Unfortunately, it appears that at boot time, these systems *always* have resync in mdstat, because swap never seems to be added after a reboot. Which leads to some questions: 1. what is the purpose of this check? 2. is it normal for my raids to always be resyncing at boot (*)? 3. suggestions for a good (maintainable) approach to ensuring that my non-RAID swap partitions always get enabled at boot? (*) Thinking back, I think that all of the reboots on these systems have been due to abnormal causes (i.e., a power failure yesterday), so maybe resyncing is normal after unplanned reboots? All of my raidtools experience is with RedHat, but if you watch a graceful shutdown closely, the last thing the kernel should do is mark each RAID member's superblock with a clean flag. Then that's used when the device is raidstarted again. If all members are clean, then no resync is needed; otherwise, generally it is. I'm reasonably sure that's what forcing your resyncs at boot. I'd recommend watching a few graceful reboots closely to see exactly what's happening with the resyncs and with the swap activation.

I just installed debian on a new system today. Everything is working beautifully, except telnetd. I'm using xinetd (also tried inetd), and when I attempt to telnet to the machine, it sends me the contents of /etc/issue.net, and then eats up 99% CPU and just hangs. I don't know what to do.

2.4.9 ppp woes
Hi all, I've just installed Woody on Linux box which I've been meaning to reinstall for ages (I used Debian 1.3.1 and 2.0 some time ago, but had been using RH6 until now); this reinstall coincided with the installation of ADSL in my flat -- the new box is intended to handle that connection, provide a few services, and be a samba logon server for my home LAN. After problems with kernel 2.4.8 (failing to recognize an IDE drive), I installed 2.4.9 from source. However, when I run PPPD (I've applied the PPPoATM patches, and compiled a patched version of PPPD 2.4.0), it complains that PPP_GENERIC is not installed in my kernel. It is. I've selected, infact, every single PPP option (as a test), and have tried both with them as modules (and then physically loaded them by hand), and directly in the kernel. Has anyone else had problems with PPP under 2.4.9, or with the PPPoATM patch(es), or does anyone have any suggestions? I've run out of ideas. Danke, Matt.

Remounting / read-only
Howdy group! I was wondering how I'm supposed to remount root readonly. From what I can figure I'm supposed to issue the command mount -o remount,ro /, but I only get a mount: / is busy message. I've tried it without the comma between remount and ro, and it seems to go through okay, but I'm not 100% sure that it's now read-only. How can I check on this? If I just type mount, I see all the options that are given in my fstab, but not what the current status is (rw or ro) on any given mount point. If it helps, I was thinking it would be best to make a backup of / with it as ro so that no data is changed during the backup process and keep from corrupting any data. (Also, a particular program I want to try out [partimage] requires it to be mounted ro.) Thanks for any help! Jeremy

Re: allowing users to upload

Don't forget ftp uses two ports, 20 and 21. Exactly where this forwarding is configured depends on the ssh software being used but I know at least some software for Windows and Mac support this feature. Here is the section from the man page for openssh describing how to set this up. The basic idea is the same for other ssh software. -L port:host:hostport Specifies that the given port on the local (client) host is to be forwarded to the given host and port on the remote side. This works by allocating a socket to listen to port on the local side, and whenever a connection is made to this port, the connection is forwarded over the secure channel, and a connection is made to host port hostport from the remote machine. Port forwardings can also be specified in the configuration file. Only root can forward privileged ports. So, for example, if the remote server is called popserver, my openssh command line to tunnel port 110 (POP) would be ssh -L 110:localhost:110 popserver - the first 110 is the local port to forward from (this could actually be any unused port but, if you can, it's easier to use the standard port for the protocol since some client software won't let you specify an alternative port to use) - localhost is the destination machine relative to popserver - the second 110 is the port on the destination machine to forward to now if I type this in another terminal on my local machine (not in the ssh connection I just established) telnet localhost 110 I will get the POP login on popserver and the whole communication between my machine and popserver is encrypted, unlike the standard POP protocol which sends everything in the clear. I like this method because, other than configuring your applications (one time) to connect to localhost instead of the real server (this works just as well for IMAP, SMTP, etc), this is completely transparent to the client application. You just have to have the ssh software running and connected to the real server with the ports forwarded (most likely in the background - I used to make it a startup item when I had to use those other operating systems).
