Re: Debian and S3 ProsavageDDR KM 266
A month ago I had debian stable (woody) installed on my XPC which has the ProSavageDDR (savage8) onboard with the via chipset. I used apt pinning to get the unstable XFree86 4.2 (seems like that's in testing now) package xserver-xfree86. I combined that with the savage driver debian package by Tim Roberts (http://www.probo.com/timr/savage40.html) and I was a pretty happy 2d X windows user. According to Tim's site, there still isn't any DRI/OpenGL/Mesa support in the driver. Maybe us Via chipset purchasers can send enough email to Via to convince them there's a good market out there for 3d graphics on X. My only issue with this process was that XFree86 4.2 that was in unstable depended on a whole new glibc version, so the apt-get installed the new glibc and removed all of my development tools. X worked like a champ, there was no pain in configuring the savage driver, and it seemed that I could do 24 bit color at 1024x768 (and possibly higher, I didn't try.) I did have bios set to allocate 64MB of RAM to the ProSavageDDR chip. Since then I've reinstalled from scratch to testing (Sarge) and am borrowing an ATI Radeon... Best of luck.

Was it a clean or an unclean reboot? If you have "reboot" in the lastlog, it was a clean reboot. That might be caused by something like watchdog, or something else that got it into its head to reboot the machine. You're right that programs that do that are fairly rare; AFAIK there are none in a default install. If it was an unclean reboot, you're left with the possibilties that either the kernel decided to reboot the system, or it just spontaneously reset itself due to a hardware issue. These will show up in the lastlog as "down", "crash" and the like. -- see shy jo pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: HowTo for Gnome2??
I don't see exactly what the fuss is. Fonts are fine for me - I do remember previous updates (maybe a month ago) in testing breaking them momentarily, however, so this may not be a GNOME issue. As for the rest of the GNOME2 packages, they're just not here yet - deal with it. I backed up my sources.list, changed it to unstable, did an apt-get update, apt-get install gnome-core, and then restored the old sources.list. Works fine. Nautilus 2 is worlds faster than the original, fonts are nice, everything is anti-aliased, blah, blah, blah... If you're absolutely opposed to any unstable packages, then I guess you're screwed.

Re: HowTo for Gnome2??
John, I installed straight to testing (but using a stable netinstall CD) a couple months ago. When gnome2 into was released into it from unstable a couple weeks ago I ran into similar issues. I am looking forward to watching this thread to see what the expert insight to this is. My opinion is that Gnome2 'works' but it doesn't 'work right'. Isn't that what testing is for though? To test for bugs that aren't critical and prepare for the next stable version that does 'work right'. There are gnome2 version packages that are still in held up in unstable that I think maybe should have held up the whole gnome2 upgrade, but I don't know that much about the details to make this statment as anything more than a personal opinion. Here is a link about ideas for moving debian to gnome2, but I didn't get a good feeling of resolution: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?archive=no&bug=154950 I also get the error message from the gnome settings daemon. I think it's due to nautilus being gnome and not the gnome2 version. The gnome2 version of nautilus seems to be held back in unstable with some automated build errors. I also have some interestingly scaled and rendered fonts in some applications. On this page (http://cert.uni-stuttgart.de/archive/debian/testing/2003/05/msg00058.html) there is mention of the local affecting fonts. I should check my local. I dont remember which I chose, other than knowing it wasn't 'C'. I haven't run across any applets not working, and my gnome-panel v2.2.2-1 seems to be running ok (with the exception of trying to launch terminal based apps with gnome-terminal which is also missing in testing, held up in unstable with autobuild issues.)

GNOME in testing seems to be in very poor shape right now. Things are halfway migrated from 1 to 2.

Perhaps it's only in experimental? Probably. If there were such a thing in testing you couldn't possibly install it because not all of the dependencies exist. At a minimum, it would need to pull in the Control Center and GNOME-Terminal, neither of which seems to be in testing yet. > 4) There SHOULD be a way to run both Gnome and Gnome2 on the same >machine, as the major number of the libraries is different, but >the packages seem to be configured in such a way as to insist >that these are incompatible. > >Yes, this will eat up more memory (both library versions must >be resident at the same time), but if Gnome2 in testing simply >isn't yet complete, then I really have no choice. I'm not sure that GNOME 1 and 2 could easily coexist even if the packages did allow it. They have different pieces of infrastructure, and GNOME applications tend to start up any infrastructure they need that isn't already running.

Immediate delivery of local mail (messages from daemons, etc)... in other words I'd like to avoid shipping it off to my ISP, since I'm just going to turn around and re-fetch it. No address rewriting should occur in this case, because that makes it harder to see "at a glance" that it was local. 2.

The debian installer warned me about large disks, and I proceeded with making the largest root partition that could fit on my disk. I then installed debian on a newly created filesystem, then moved all my old files back from the other computer. I upgraded the kernel once, re-ran lilo, and rebooted successfully before since then. I have a theory that at that time, there were not many files on the disk so the kernel was placed somewhere near the beginning which was reachable by lilo. Since then I think what happened is that I upgraded the kernel once more, but left the computer running. I haven't rebooted in 3 weeks, so I never tested the new kernel in normal circumstances. Two days ago, I accidentally removed the power cord.

Try running "eximconfig" as root, choose option 1, for you "visible" mail name, put your domain name.

ddtp [SCRIPT]: merging translations with english package description files
Hi all,
I wrote a small script which simplifies the usage of translated package
descriptions. Please see the comments in it for details.
Feel free to use and distribute it.

from the

apache
Hello debian people !
I am a happy user of woody 3.0.1.
I tried to set up apache for local use (to read dhelp and info2www and to
learn more about networking).
After installation, it worked fine. However, i face two mysteries:
1) apache started from inetd ?
I thought it's not neccessary to have it listen all the time.
So i removed the rc symlink, and configured:
# /etc/inetd.conf:
www stream tcp nowait root/usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/apache
# hosts.allow:
www: LOCAL, piro.pironic, piro2000.winlan /usr/sbin/apache
(occasionally connected with a laptop)
# hosts.deny:
---
Now it seems the server is terminated immediateley after every single request
from a broser, thus for every request newly started from inetd.
In other words, a ps aux doesn't show any apache though browser can open
localhost:80.
Is this the behavior 'normal' with inetd, or misconfigured sth ?
I attach the httpd.conf (only no-hashed lines).
2) Where is mime_magic ?
This is filling up the log:
# /var/log/apache/error.log:
[Wed Jul 2 19:09:08 2003] [error] (2)No such file or directory:
mod_mime_magic: can't read magic file /etc/apache/share/magic
Though /etc/apache/httpd.conf says it's expected to be like
MIMEMagicFile share/magic
there's no directory 'share' in the server-root; only a symlink to
/etc/mime.types.
Am i expected to do sth about it ?
Any hint please ?
cc to me, i am not on this list.
greets

Using aptitude, searching for the mozilla-browser package revealed that
it uses libgtk. So, to set the font of the gui, make a ~/.gtkrc file
and specify the font there. Mine looks like this:
style "gtk-default-iso-8859-15" {
fontset = "-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal--10-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-15,\
-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-15,*-r-*"
}
class "GtkWidget" style "gtk-default-iso-8859-15"
The "gtk-default-iso-8859-15" is only a name so change that to
whatever you want but make sure you mention the changed name then also
in the last line.
To see how a font looks and find out what the description is so you can
enter that in the fontset line, use the Xfontsel program.
Regards,
Benedict

Nori,
i had some font problems too a while ago. I posted my sollution here
and it's posted again in this email. i don't use a font server so i
commented that out in my xconfig. What i did for non gtk / kde stuff
is make an ~/.Xdefaults file with these settings.
*font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-13-120-75-75-c-70-iso8859-15
*VT100*font2: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-*-70-*-*-c-*-iso8859-15
*VT100*font3: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-*-100-*-*-c-*-iso8859-15
*VT100*font4: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-c-*-iso8859-15
*VT100*font5: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-*-140-*-*-c-*-iso8859-15
*VT100*font6: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-*-200-*-*-c-*-iso8859-15
xterm*visualBell: true
xterm*foreground: black
xterm*scrollBar: true
After this, my fonts where fine.
Try this and see what happens.
== previous post from i don't know when ==
Hi,
i solved problem 2 also. It was not that straightforward since is use
fluxbox with KDE and GNOME programs.
First of all make sure the FontPath
in the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file are correct.
Section "Files"
#FontPath "unix/:7100" # local font server
# if the local font server has problems, we can fall back on these
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/CID"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi"
EndSection
I don't use a fontserver so /etc/X11/fs/config is of no use of me.
If you do have a font server, make sure you edit this file
and make sure the catalogue is correct. You can then
start an x session and check with xlsfonts what fonts are
known to the X. If you can see the font you want to use,
you known the fonts can be seen by X.
I wanted to change the fonts of 2 apps that i use a lot:
xterm and evolution.
For xterm, i made a ~/.Xdefaults file which has this
content:
*font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-13-120-75-75-c-70-iso8859-15
*VT100*font2: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-*-70-*-*-c-*-iso8859-15
*VT100*font3: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-*-100-*-*-c-*-iso8859-15
*VT100*font4: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-c-*-iso8859-15
*VT100*font5: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-*-140-*-*-c-*-iso8859-15
*VT100*font6: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-*-200-*-*-c-*-iso8859-15
xterm*visualBell: true
xterm*foreground: black
xterm*scrollBar: true
I found the correct fonts by running the Xfontsel program
and setting the correct parameters for a font.
Xterm then displays the correct fonts and I can then use
shift "-" and shift "+" to switch the fonts. Pretty cool.
Next i looked to change the base font evolution uses. The
preferences allow to change the font of a message or the
font used to print but not the font for the inbox or the
menu.
I found a post somewhere on the next in regards to a
gtkrc problem and it solved mine too. Make a ~/.gtkrc file
and put this in:
style "gtk-default-iso-8859-15" {
fontset = "-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1,\
-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1,\
-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-15,\
-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-15,*-r-*"
}
class "GtkWidget" style "gtk-default-iso-8859-15"
Change the fonts to whatever you like as fonts and bingo,
Evolution now uses a smaller font that allows me to have
more info on the screen.
Hopes this helps other people struggling with fonts.

It's great that you looked into making a doc for the LDP but if it was me who made the original doc, i wouldn't have bothered writing a doc in some scripting language (or whatever Docbook is). It's already an effort that you decided to write down your experiences so other people could benefit from it. And a lot of people already know your site so they can check the documents there. I for one have never liked the format of the LDP project. It's doesn't read easily. And they should accept HTML docs. You provided the research and the knowledge, they can provide the layout. If not, to bad they loose out on some great material. And people do appreciate what you are doing.

something like

or

Where to set moz GUI font?
This was my experience with the Mozilla GUI font: 1) Moz 1.0 running on Woody: no particular problem. But of course this is 1.0, and Woody, and one likes to upgrade. 2) After upgrade to Sarge, Moz is still 1.0, but Moz´s GUI font is very ugly. This is caused by a bad Helvetica font and/or a bad Type1 font renderer in the Sarge version of xserver-xfree86, as explained in http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2003/debian-devel-200305/msg00379.html The solution is to move the line FontPath"/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1" to the bottom of the list of FontPaths in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4. The Mozilla GUI font is no longer pig-ugly, but some acceptable anti-aliased sans-serif font. Well, bold. I´d like it better if it were somewhat thinner. 3) Then (keeping a Sarge system in principle but installing Moz 1.3 from unstable) the GUI font changes *again*. Now it is a non-bold, anti-aliased, very tiny, serif font (probably Times New Roman). I don´t like it but do not know how to change it. QUESTION: with Moz's Edit, Preferences, Appearance, Fonts the font(s) of Moz´s *content* can be set. But where can the *GUI* font be set (and fixed against the effects of upgrades)?

[OT] (possibly): libglide3 / libGL errors
Dear all, Not sure if this is a problem with Debian packages or my own programming blunders. Please excuse my off-topic post in case this turns out to be my errors. I've been playing with GLUT and OpenGL. I get the following run-time error message: libGL error: can't find Glide library, dlopen(libglide3-v5.so) and dlopen(libglide3.so) both failed. libGL error: dlerror() message: /usr/lib/libglide3.so: undefined symbol: _trisetup_Default_win_nocull_valid these are two different issues, and both are perplexing. The first error is odd because libglide3.so exists (it's not a dangling symlink) in /usr/lib. Man ld.so says /usr/lib is automatically searched by dlopen() without needing an entry in /etc/ld.so.conf. So how the heck isn't dlopen() finding it? I'm not sure what to do about the second error. It sounds like there might be a missing dependency, but I've checked. Can this be a problem with the libglide3-dev package? The hardware is a Voodoo 5 on Sarge.

The "bf" stands for "boot-floppies", which is the name of the installation system for woody and earlier. It doesn't necessarily involve floppy disks, despite the name. "bf2.4" is the name of the installation flavour that installs the system with a 2.4 kernel right from the start. (This wasn't made the default because 2.4 wasn't sufficiently stable at the time when the choice of woody's default kernel needed to be made, way back when.) When you see "bf2.4" in a kernel package's version number, it indicates the fairly stripped-down kernel that's installed by default when you install the bf2.4 flavour. You can replace it with a more normal kernel like kernel-image-2.4.18-1-686 and variants if you like.

Woody+Bunk, Java plugin freezes Mozilla
Hi, I have a weird problem with Woody (plus latest updates from Adrian Bunk, including Mozilla) and Java plugin in the Mozilla. I tried different Java suits: from java.sun.com (1.3.1, and 1.4.2), from Blackdown (1.3.1 from the Debian packages, 1.4.1 from tarball and from inofficial repacked DEBs), but every shows the same problem: Mozilla works with simple Java applets like the one from www.wildcam.de, but it freezes Mozilla with more complicated apples like the one from www.kmelektronik.de, apparently when the Java engine is beeing started. It does not hang completely, ps shows a dozen of java_vm processes in "S" state, but Mozilla does not react anymore. When I switch the windows, Mozilla does not refresh the window contents (not completely, it shows only the gray shadows of the screen parts where the Java applets are, and the coffee can appears sometimes in this gray box. The rest of the window is not repainted.). First I suspected Mozilla from Bunk itself, but the same happens with Gecko based browsers like Galeon _and_ with a precompiled Mozilla-Firebird package from Mozilla.org. OTOH, I could swear that Mozilla plugins did work few months ago on the same system with j2sdk1.3 package from Blackdown, without any problems. So did anyone experience the same problems and has a solution? I tried almost everything I could on the web, including setting various envrionment variables. Mozilla freezes.

mantis security upgrade breaks user configuration
hi all, i learned from the debian-security-announce mailinglist that mantis (a php bugtracking system) has insecure permissions on the configfile that stores the database password. so i did an 'apt-get update ;apt-get upgrade' and was quite surprised, as this upgrade didn't just fix permissions on this file, but overwrote it without asking. it took me a while to find out what happened, and even longer, to restore the settings i had in this file, because the update didn't even bother backing up the original configuration. so all you mantis users out there: be warned! make a copy of your /etc/mantis/config.php before upgrading. also if you don't use the default apache include, be sure to delete the include line in your apache conf after upgrading as the upgrade puts it in again, just to be sure to screw up things right. i'm very sorry for raising my voice, but WTF IS WRONG WITH THE GUY who maintains this package??? the reason i am using debian is just to avoid stuff like this. if i wanted upgrades to break my stuff i could as well use red hat or something.. alexander -- Alexander Meyer Key ID: FA4FC80C -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I think that the OP might be thinking about this like windows. If you want it to run on an older machine, you will have to go with an older version of windows. No way is XP going to run on a 200MHz machine with 32MB RAM. Or perhaps, (sh)he is not aware that 3.0r1 is the latest release. Shri -- Shri Shrikumar U R Byte Solutions Tel: 0845 644 4745 I.T.

I'm guessing that I should be compiling my own kernel in these instances. But until I reach that point (compiling kernel), is there a better stable kernel I might want to install? And when I do compile, what's the best/latest/stable kernel source I should grab? Thanks again. > > -- > Got Backup? > signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
