Re: need help in installing nic drivers
From my expreience with Dell's computers they need a special version of e1000 module. one of my clients uses only Dell computer's and they sent him a version of this module (he only uses red-hat), but I think they've also sent him the source. you can ask your dealer about that, and if he can't help let me know and I'll try to get it from him.

Re: Fwd: getting postfix + sasl to work
Hi I just entered in the list, so I didn't see your first question, but postfix with sasldb works fine. The trick under debian with sasldb is to copy (after having added the user in sasldb) /etc/sasldb to /var/spool/postfix/etc and making this file redeable for postfix because postfix is chrooted.

Re: give cdrom source more priority in apt-get [lost the original]
Unfortunately no one has responded to this by now, I too was waiting.
The apt_preferences manpage does mention pinning an origin, but
until now I couldn't succeed.
My less attractive alternative was to add all packages on my CDs into
my preferences file. What I got was an unreasonably long file,
produced by this one-liner:
perl -ne 'print if /^Package:/ or s/^Version: (.+)/Pin: version $1\n/;'
You have to supply an argument: list of files. Maybe that can vary, I
don't know, on my system it was /var/lib/apt/lists/D*, in contrast
to /var/lib/apt/lists/f* for ftp. Take a look at the files there
and redirect the output to your new preferences file.

very very strange bash/sed bug !!
Hi, it's been a loong time I have a bug on my system: ./libtool is incorrectly generated by ./configure. I haven't been able to correct it for months. Today I discovered where lies the bug: it's somewhere between bash and sed. First and foremost, I'm running debian/unstable, and have sed 3.02-8.1, bash 2.05b-6 and libtool 1.4.3-5 (but it's been there since several versions). Now the bug: echo xx lt1 echo xx lt2 sed '' /usr/share/libtool/ltmain.sh lt1 sed '' /usr/share/libtool/ltmain.sh |less lt2 diff lt1 lt2 They differ !!! And surprisingly, only lt2 is correct ! If anyone could try to help me find why my intallation does that, I'd appreciate much. I already tried reinstalling the concerned packages, but no luck.

sharing /var/mail/username with mutt and Evolution..
Hi, I have a problem with Evolution - I keep swinging from trees! :-) Seriously, using Debian 3.0r1 stable I've got mutt working beautifully picking up mail from my /var/mail/kevin mbox. When I installed Evolution and pointed it to this box and set it to 'use Unix mail spool file' it cannot get the messages out of the spool. While mutt still works perfectly. If I set evolution to Local mbox support it gets the mail out of the spool but doesn't leave it there so I cannot see it from mutt then, help! I think there must be some trick to getting Evolution to leave the mail in /var/mail/kevin or to have /var/mail/kevin act as my Inbox? Any one have any ideas?

pppd on demand problems...
Having now hired a dsl line at home, I connected two Pentium PCs at home with a notebook functioning as a gateway server for the internet connection with 'pon dsl-provider demand idle 60' command through a rudimentary firewall (and a sshd session). Setting up the server I thought:the simplest, the better! Therefore no diald by far more complicated than ppp on demand which I'd learned had been somewhat enhanced (it works fine at last, they say), pppoe, openssh, iptables, kernel 2.4.19, lynx, all for a mere 300 MB of disk space. Now the problem is that if I launch a lynx www.debian.org either from the server or from a client the ppp session starts immediatedly and all works fine. But, once closed lynx, ppp doesn't hang up but stays connected endlessly. Could you please suggest why this can happen and - above all - the steps, the tests I should carry out to make it work (please, straightforward explanation will be highly appreciated!)?

Hi, I feel strongly that this problem is recoverable, however you will have to construct a manual partition table using the Linux Fdisk. With a lil bit of guess work and a lil trial and error I think you should be able to recover the partitions and data within. I think you mentioned you used gpart, did you write the partition table after using gpart i.e. with the gpart -w option?? I don't think that will help but I want to know if after doing this were you still able to access the other partitions.

No, there was not other partition at the end. Probably just some free space at the end. The last partition (the lost one) was about 6.5G. I suppose I can get the old partition table information from the /boot/boot.XXX file created by lilo. I am not using lilo at this moment but that file is still there and I didn't changed the partitions since I changed lilo by grub. How can I retrieve that information from the boot.XXX file?

If anyone has suggestions for replacing either one with a lighter alternative I'm all for it I downloaded spager (aka sawfish-pager) and built it from source against gtk1.2 (since the version in sid conflicts with my version of sawfish); it works great, aside from a little startup weirdness. For app launching, I'm just using key bindings now. shift+f1 launches an Eterm, shift+f2 a dtemacs window and shift+f3 a new galeon window.

A .deb is just an 'ar' archive with three files in it: control.tar.gz, data.tar.gz and debian-binary.

This will put the correct version of libc back on your system, so hopefully dpkg will work again. You might need to run /sbin/ldconfig as well. Oh, yes, oops.

Re /var, I just did a du -h on it and mine comes out at 1.1 gig! Any thoughts on what is essential and what is not? Well, I saved the whole thing precisely because I wasn't sure what is essential and what is not... There's a lot of stuff there about apt/dpkg configuration, most of which will be rebuilt when you reinstall packages, but you might need some of it if your system has a complex mix of packages from different sources/branches. All I specifically needed were /var/spool/mail/pigeon and /var/spool/exim/input/*. Depending on how frequently you make backups, /var/log/* might have useful stuff that might help you determine why you needed the backup. My /var is only 63Mb; I guess I'm not the sort of user to commemt on what might be essential when it's grown to 1.1 gig. Still, 1.1 gig should compress down to less than 700Mb, so it'll all go on one CD. (Related thought: Must make statically-linked rescue versions of tar, gzip, bzip2, fileutils...) Pigeon You motivated me to have a good look at /var. The mail spooler is no problem because I have kmail leaching it continually so it gets caught in the backup of $USER. var/log and htdig account for about 1/4 gig each and there are about a gazillion or so news items. I think prudence might warrant saving the newer logs at least. The rest is welcome to dissappear if it must. The installed packages are at least listed in a file in $USER so they are quite restorable from the install discs. How much bother that would be I do not know. I'd love to be able to sort the installed package list by cd so I'd have the minimum no of media changes on a reinstall.

In my expereince this causes all kinds of problems with Intel hardware. Perhaps you need to choose LBA in your BIOS setup? IIRC the part table thought it has 128 heads which is screaming LBA to me. Otherwise, sometimes you can use the advanced menu of fdisk to convince linux that the CHS for a drive really is whatever (use the values that the part table reports). Note that you could only mount the partition which started and ended on what linux currently thinks are cylinder boundaries. When you try to mount the other partitions linux is loading data from the wrong part of the drive (starting in the wrong position, that is). This whole CHS thing is why I use SCSI drives whenever I can. -- Nathan Norman - Incanus Networking mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people. -- Laurence J.

If you're using bash, and the command you want to retrieve was typed
in the last 500 or so commands, try ctrl-r ls which should recall
the most recent command with the string ls in it.
You can also use the history command to view your history. Any
command in your history can be reused by prefixing its history number
with a bang ('!'). Thus if history says 422 ls -lAF /usr/local you
can type !422 at a prompt to issue that command again. history +
grep can be fun.
Finally, (and perhaps most obvious) you can use ctrl-p and ctrl-n to
cycle backwards and forwards through your command history. For most
terminal types these sequences are mapped to the up-arrow and
down-arrow respectively.

I don't know about that, but if you hit your up-arrow, it will scroll backwards through the command history -- I do this a lot to save on keystrokes.

Howto redirect output from a terminal
I am not sure how to ask for what I want here. But, here goes. I was using dump to make a backup of a directory on my computer. This was started from a terminal in X. As it was running I could see in the terminal window all the status output from the program. Good. This backup job took a long time to complete and so I went home while the backup was still running. When at home I ssh'd into the box to see if the dump process was still running, it was. Then I got to thinking, how can I see the output of this program in my current ssh session? Is there a program that exists to allow me to redirect the output of a program running in a terminal to another terminal? I hope I am explaining this clearly.
