What makes you say all this? On 5/1 or so, AJT announced that woody was all set, and that the only thing holding up the release was the lack of a build infrastructure for the security team. There has since been no public announcement regarding the status of such an infrastructure. It may well take them some time to get the new system up and running. Unfortunately, this problem didn't receive widespread attention until it was too late to get it addressed in time for the release. Part of this actually my fault, as I was previously tasked with implementing such a build infrastructure. However, my efforts met with some tough resistance by certain members of the sysadmin team who didn't like a particular component of the software that the security team was used to using to create builds. But nobody was willing to provide a replacement, and I didn't have time to create one myself, and this issue got ignored for far too long. noah -- ___ | Web: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/ | PGP Public Key: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html pgpHOYFluOC6v.pgp Description: PGP signature

It seems you are installing potato, which comes with GNOME 1.0.56 or something like that. Back then you could get an up to date GNOME from Ximian, but there's no need to. I would recommend the following: install a minimal potato system and upgrading it to woody (testing). See the woody installation manual on the Debian web site for details. Once you are up to Woody install GNOME via tasksel (or select the packages you want in dselect or whatever). Alternatively, get rid of everything Ximian related. Upgrade to Woody and then install the gnome packages with dselect. There's no need to use Ximian GNOME IMHO. I would normally have suggested that you install Woody, but there is a problem with base-config in the current testing distribution. Cheers!

Re: My ultimate linux box - raid
Here's the big clue about that version of onboard RAID: it needs kernel support. Therefore it's not transparent hardware RAID. Infact, it's closer to software raid than anything else. Just crappy cheap and unreliable. Do not buy cheap components for backup. If anything, spend more money on backup than on anything else. Get a DDS2 or higher tape drive and put it on a legacy SCSI channel (ie don't mix with your high speed devices unless you want a hugh perfomance drop). Remember this: the more hard discs you have, the more likely you are to have a hard disc failure.

Yes, that's what I would do too: a workstation and a compile/testing/development machine. Plus allows you to have a good backup situation: box to box backups.

Re: Fwd: Is it possible to unsubscribe from the debian-userslist?
On wednesday Bill Stoye wrote: > Thank you for your help; I finally got off the list. so it turns out that it is possible, albeit after a delay of 2 weeks. I think it is not-nice and unnecessary to keep users uninformed of the situation. As it is now, they find that unsubscribing doesnt work and listmaster doesnt respond, until that happy day 2 weeks later. This seems weird for an organization that claims that the users are their first priority. If the problem is in the process of being solved, it would be nice to receive an estimate of when this will be from listmaster(s). (preferably in the form of a daily post to d-u, so everybody knows about it). As long as it is not solved, it is good manners to put a notice on the subscription webpage saying "it may take a couple of weeks before an unsubscription request is processed". I hereby request you to put such a notice on said webpage.

dpkg-reconfigure won't ask me about XXX?
So, on one of my systems I have sshd running but I can't get in using RSA keys (I need ssh protocol version 1 support). So I changed sshd.conf from "Protocols 2" to "Protocols 1,2", now when I start sshd it says "Disabling protocol version 1. Could not load host key". So, I thought I would dpkg-reconfigure ssh, which I did, but got the same error. Using debconf-show ssh I see this: ssh/protocol2_only: true I think (from poking around) that this is keeping the reconfigure from creating the right host keys (or something). I can see in the postinst script where they're supposed to be created. The thing is, dpkg-reconfigure doesn't ask me about this "protocol2_only" parameter. I've tried all the different options to dpkg-reconfigure, but it just doesn't ask me. How can I change the settings for this configuration value, and why doesn't dpkg-reconfigure ask me about it?

Re: After upgrading kernel I lost my CDROM
Hi Edward, it seems that your DVD-ROM is also recognized by ide-scsi (though I don't know why), so try to mount it as /dev/scd0 (CD-R should then be /dev/scd1). Maybe to avoid conflict append="hdd=ide-scsi,hdc=scsi". BTW, does cdrecord work? And can you mount your CD-R to read a CDROM?

I can't even worry about the network yet because I can't install anything
from CD. I can't find any distribution or floppy set that will recognize
the RAID controller or the hard drives attached to it (I've read through
the archives of this list and tried them all).
I just tried downloading the latest and (what I thought was) greatest
woody distribution ("boot floppies" version 3.0.22). I burned a CD
and booted. I get "no hard disk drives were detected."
Using the floppy rescue/boot disks I get the same thing and I can't
seem to get the driver disks to load and allow access to the hard drive.
When the system starts I see that one container is recognized, and
that it seems to be properly configured (I was able to install RH with
no problem as a test).
Is there a "known-good" .iso CD image or set of Debian floppy images someone
could point me to?
How is one supposed to use the driver floppy images? I've been using
dd to create them the same way I create the rescue/root disks. I get
"Cannot mount the floppy. Stop" every time.

What I have seen people do is something like this: iptables -N logndrop iptables -A logndrop -j LOG iptables -A logndrop -j DROP and then use -j logndrop wherever they want to log and drop a packet. Personally, I don't find it too much trouble to specify 2 lines (a log and a drop) each time I want to discard a packet.

troubleshooting my hardware

You don't say which debian version you use. Ximian does only support stable, and for now that means potato, but this will probably change, since woody will be the new stable soon. If you use potato (I don't think this makes sense anymore on a desktop), Ximian is a good way to go, since the potato gnome packages are ooold. But, debian and ximian gnome packages don't mix due to different packaging, so you should purge all gnome stuff from debian before installing ximian gnome. I would recommend to run woody, and simply use the gnome packages from woody. To install them, dselect would be my tool of choice, since it also shows you "recommends" and "suggests" (which apt-get does not), so you have a better chance to find all the gnome packages you want > I get this error that libgnome-vfs0_1.0.5-1.ximian... is trying to > overwrite /usr/lib/vfs/extfs/a, which is a file included in > gnome-vfs-extfs.

This is probably because you have mixed debian and ximian packages: Some files are put in different packages by the respective package maintainers, so you get a warning that package A wants to overwrite files that are installed by package B. However, if you are sure you didn't mix, it may only be an error in the ximian packages.

Aaah, here it is. Well, Ximian does not support woody right now (although it's possible to install it. I once had it and it worked fine). Still, debian's gnome packages for woody are so good that I don't see why one would want to install ximian. OTOH, when you plan to keep running woody (and not switch to the new testing after woody has gone stable), it may make sense to install ximian: if the release process stays as it is, quite some time will pass until the stable-release-after-woody. In 2 year's time, the woody packages will be as old as potato's are now, while ximian will regularly include the newest gnome stuff -- I did not vote for the Austrian government -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Woody net base install from local mirror
Hi all, With Debian potato, it was fairly trivial to put the base2_2.tgz file in a webserver under a directory $DOCUMENTROOT/debian/dists/potato/main/disks_i386 and do a net install of the base system from a local mirror. Now with woody, the install system seems to look for debian packages where my local partial mirror (created with apt-move) doesn't have them. My local mirror works for the main installation after the base system is installed, but not for the base system.

X Fonts and Ximian Gnome
Hello I'm new to Debian (a recent convert from Mandrake) and a moderately advanced Linux user, but I've been having a few problems getting everything up and running on my IBM ThinkPad A22m (the problems aren't laptop-related). (1) The X server is complaining about not finding the 'fixed' font. I have (to my knowledge) xserver-xfree86, xserver-common, xfonts-100dpi, and xfonts-75dpi installed (I'm not sure what else related). Is there something I'm missing? I'm doing the configuration with 'XFree86 -configure', if that helps any. (2) After getting the X server working, I would like to install Gnome. AFAIK, the only(?) way to do this is with Ximian Gnome's installer, correct? Their two methods are the 'http://go-gnome.com | sh' and 'apt-get install task-ximian-gnome' (from http://red-carpet.ximian.com/debian stable main). I've read some bad things about the go-gnome installer, so I decided to do it the apt-get way (since that's why I've enjoyed Debian). There's a ton of extra packages that are required, so I install them all. Then the fun begins. I get this error that libgnome-vfs0_1.0.5-1.ximian... is trying to overwrite /usr/lib/vfs/extfs/a, which is a file included in gnome-vfs-extfs. My install dies, and now I can't install anything with apt-get. More reading allowed me to see that with dselect I can tell apt not to keep trying to install libgnome-vfs0. I tried taking the red-carpet.ximian.com out of sources.list, updating, and installing the non-ximian libgnome-vfs0. That seemed to work. I uncommented red-carpet.ximian.com, and tried to do it again, and I get the same error. For the RTFM's out there, where is the FM? I have looked on Ximian's site (no support at all), at debian.org (not half bad, great package searching), and Google seems to not like me today. Also, I believe I am running a testing woody machine (though I'm still getting used to the exact terminology). Any help would be appreciated!

Marc has his own debian packages of exim4+sa on that site too.

Problem with XFree86 under sid
I've been running Debian sid on a single processor 600 MHz Athlon machine for a while, and have been doing dist-upgrades nightly. I recently upgraded my kernel to 2.4.18 (though this has nothing to do with the problem). I physically moved my computer to a different location, and began to experience problems with my keyboard and mouse under X. Either xf86cfg or going into X would freeze the keyboard and mouse, which would become completely unresponsive. SSH'ing into the machine worked, but no matter what I couldn't free the display, which showed the XFree86 grey background and X mouse cursor. Any ideas?

I did the in-the-house install myself (plugged in the Cisco 677 bridge and configured that NIC for DHCP and masquerading). My ADSL line is rated 3Mbps downstream and something small upstream. The actual performance ranges from bad (~20KBps) to great (~100-200KBps) (note the capitalization of 'B'). The local cable service costs about $10/mo more IF you have bettter-than-Basic cable TV service and about $10/mo more than that if you have Basic or no cable TV service. My (parents') house has no cable TV wiring between the street and it. The cable internet service is rated at 2Mbps downstream. Both services are mostly ok (from what I hear). The DSL service _was_ rather crappy in that it required "logging on" via a web form before IP routing would work (apart from the DNS server and that web server). I automated it in /etc/network/interfaces and a python script. They've since elminated that source of failure. Right now I have T1 access, but the gateway at home still has the DSL service. -D -- (E)ventually (M)allocs (A)ll (C)omputer (S)torage GnuPG key : http://dman.ddts.net/~dman/public_key.gpg pgpUu7pqIGyXX.pgp Description: PGP signature

Use -i (install) instead of -u (upgrade). With rpm, the version number is kinda part of the package name. The package name is as much as you specify, rather than having specific delimiters like dpkg. rpm also allows multiple packages with the same "name" (different version) installed, as long as no two files have the same name. It's a real PITA.
