Problems upgrading woody to sarge
Hello List, I wanted to upgrade from woody to sarge by APT. I am facing a peculiar problem after apt-get dist-upgrade, the apt never gets connected. It says [0%] Connecting to http.us.debian.org(1.0.0.0) and then sort of hangs, I have even tried with some other mirrors but the problem persists. could this be due to the apache server(because at bootup it says 'Cant find servers domain name, setting to localhost'). I am on the network as I can ping and surf the internet on both XP and debian. I am using a DSL connection with a Realtek 8139 ethernet card.

thanks for these replies. my bios has features like "Transfer Mode" where I can choose PIO 0, Max PIO, Enhanced DMA, Ultra DMA 0 or Max UDMA and "Translation Mode" where I can choose Bit-Shift, LBA Assisted, User (which lets me input a geometry with cylinders maxed out at 1024, heads at 256 and sectors at 63) and None. i did some basic research on the transfer modes, and even though i haven't absorbed all the info yet, i am guessing i should go with Max UDMA, which i can only assume will utilize the highest possible Ultra DMA mode available given the other system constraints (motherboard?). is there any reason that debian would prefer a different transfer mode? do i need to know more system information to make this decision? i also think I understand the gist of the translation modes, which i take to be a bunch of klugy maps between hard disk addressing standards. i am guessing that it would be best if a bunch of unnecessary translations weren't going on every time debian tries to access the hard disk. is there a setting here that would be most appropriate to minimize superfluous translations? thanks again in advance for help. i understand that a lot of these questions are probably the stuff that is taught in an intro computer science course; if they are too simple and general for the list, please let me know, and if you could recommend a decent overall reference i would appreciate it. i am switching from windows because (in addition to the fact that it just feels stupid and full of redundencies) it leaves the user completely out of touch with what is actually going on inside the computer. thus my need to understand every aspect of the debian install process, ground up. fp On 16 May 2005, at 14:23, Monique Y.

Setting up hotplug
Debian Sid with a 2.6.6 kernel. I'm trying to get a script to run when I connect a camera that shows up as a scsi drive. I have a Palm handheld device, and so I have an entry in /etc/hotplug/usb/local.usermap: $ cat local.usermap jpilot-sync 0x0003 0x0830 0x00010x 0x 0x00 0x000x000x000x00 0x00 0x That, I believe, causes the /etc/hotplug/usb/jpilot-sync script to run. That works mostly OK (although I can't figure out how the $REMOVER script is suppose to run to remove the loaded modules). That's about as far as my understanding of hotplug goes. Now, I also have a Sony camera that I access as a scsi device. This is a bit more of a mystery as it "just works" when I plug it in. But, what I want to do is run a script like with the Palm above. But, I have not been able to make this work -- perhaps because the of the wrong local.usermap entries (or just my lack of understanding how the parts fit together!). I tried this entry in local.usermap, but I suspect that's the wrong place (found via the hotplug website -> jphoto): sony-camera 0x380 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6 1 1 but that doesn't get a "sony-camera" script to run. It's probably the wrong place -- I assume I'd need to wait for the sd_mod module to be loaded first, anyway. So, I'm wondering how I determine that this specific camera is installed, and how to make a script run on this event.

This happened once before and, when I learned what was missing, I found a backup version of .config which contained the option. I have saved that backup and so can recover by recompliing the kernel but I don't understand why this happens. In the backup version of .config there are 40 entries under IDE chipset support/bugfixes. In my current .config there are only 9. I have made changes in .config but nothing that I believe should have unselected and removed CONFIG_BLK_DEV_VIA82CXXX. I can repair the damage but would be very interested in a better understanding of why this occurred. Tom George It requires the option BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PCI to be enabled before it appears in the menu.

Beware also that the old standby of making a soft link to /dev/dsp may not work anymore with udev, since a file system is superimpose on /dev.

CONFIG_BLK_DEV_VIA82CXXX Disappears! - Why?
I have learned that I cannot enable DNA unless my 2.6.8 kernel is compiled with CONFIG_BLK_DEV_VIA82CXXX selected but the option to make this selection has disappeared in make menuconfig. This happened once before and, when I learned what was missing, I found a backup version of .config which contained the option. I have saved that backup and so can recover by recompliing the kernel but I don't understand why this happens. In the backup version of .config there are 40 entries under IDE chipset support/bugfixes. In my current .config there are only 9. I have made changes in .config but nothing that I believe should have unselected and removed CONFIG_BLK_DEV_VIA82CXXX. I can repair the damage but would be very interested in a better understanding of why this occurred. Tom George -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Run "lspci" to see what chipset is being used by your NICs; then run "modconf" to install the driver appropriate for that chipset. (Or "modprobe" to install the driver for just this session.)

Secondly, if you take that list, and combine it with your data which has been stored based on the output of the "cruft" command, or something similar, then is seems that by combining these two commands with a few scripts, it may be possible to backup only personal files, thus saving lots of backup space.

Re: Network Setup Help
the drivers are not loaded. you can install the discover program to help or you can load all network drivers and see which ones are in use after you modprobe them all 1) cd /lib/modules//kernel/drivers/net 2) for module in `ls *.o`; do modprobe "`echo $module| sed -e 's/\.o//'`"; done 3) lsmod (look for ones that are in use (a non-zero value) 4) manually add the modprobe lines that are needed at the top of the /etc/init.d/networking startup script this has happened to me before as well. there may be other ways, but this will help you find out which drivers you need (blindly). hardware probing scripts like discover or kudzu help as well, but will be hard to install them without network device to grab them from a debian repository ;) good luck, chris On Mon, 2005-05-16 at 12:43 -0700, Donald Perkovich wrote: > Hello. > > I installed Debian 3.0r4 onto a machine yesterday and things seemed to > go alright.

I believe X spits out a bunch of stuff to the screen when it loads. It
should tell you whether or not it likes various resolutions, and why.
You can typically take a look at that screen by using ctrl+alt+F1 once
the GUI has loaded; then use alt+F7 (I think; maybe some other F-key) to
get back to the GUI.
What does your monitor's booklet say about horizontal sync and
vertical refresh? Mine had very specific values for these.
I also had some trouble getting X to play nice with my LCD monitor.
The settings from the monitor's book weren't great. I googled for my
monitor, found some modeline stuff, and then used xvidtune to tweak
it. Here's what I ended up with (note that the specific values are
almost certainly WRONG for your monitor; this is just an idea of the
general form):
HorizSync 63.53
VertRefresh 59.59
ModeLine "1280x1024" 108 1280 1344 1656 1700 1024 1029 1032 1066
Note that rather than having a range of values for HS and VR, I have a
single value.

No sound (no /dev/dsp) on newly installed 2.6.8-2-386 with Intel 82801.
I've just installed Debian testing on a new computer but I can't get the sound to work. I think the problem is that /dev/dsp doesn't exist, although when I did "modprobe snd-intel8x0" it created /dev/snd/controlC0 and /dev/snd/timer.

apt-proxy setup questions
(sorry for dups[1]) I'm just setting up apt-proxy, but have a few questions. 1) apt-proxy caches the .deb files I request. So, if I want to *pre* fetch packages via cron during the night I might run: apt-get -qq update && \ apt-get -qqd dist-upgrade && \ apt-get -qq clean which fetches packages but doesn't install. I use "clean" to remove the packages from /var/cache/apt/archive since the packages are already on my local LAN (in /var/cache/apt-proxy). That's just to avoid storing duplicates of the same .deb files in different locations on the same disk. Is that a good method to pre-fetch packages to make a real dist-upgrade fast? 2) I'm confused about what to put into sources.list. Before apt-proxy I had not only my normal Debian archives listed, but a few others for various packages -- such as transcode and mplayer: deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ unstable main Now, with apt-proxy I have this to use entry in sources.list (assuming "aptproxy" is the proxy machine): deb http://aptproxy:/debian unstable main non-free contrib Do I also need an entry for the marillat packages in sources.list? Or do I only need to add an entry into the apt-procy-v2.conf file? I suspect I don't really understand how the Debian archive works. Seems like if I add a new backend into apt-proxy then the clients would be able to find the package without having to modify the client's sources.list file. That is, if some package is not the the main Debian archive, but available someplace else (like in the marillat archive) then only apt-proxy would need to know about that new "backend" -- basically extending my local archive -- and the Marillat packages magically become available to all my clients. 3) One thing I'm not clear is how to limit package selection to a given archive. Say two different sites provide archives that both contain mplayer and transcode. So, normally you might only use one archive for both packages. But, is it possible to setup apt to only fetch mplayer from one archive and transcode from the other? That is, limit a package to a given archive?

Re: "Kernel Panic" upgrading from 2.4.27 to 2.6.8
Aitor, I have run into this very issue. Unfortunately I did not have the time to isolate the actual cause. I have a feeling it has to do with the make oldconfig though because when I compiled a kernel with a config from the make oldconfig, I would get this. Although it's a pain, remove the .config file and do a make menuconfig and re-enter your settings. That's what I did to fix it. and if you have time run a diff on the new .config with one that came from the make oldconfig. That was a little tedious for me.

That might be true, but two points: 1) quoting from the GNU cpp man page The C preprocessor is intended to be used only with C, C++, and Objec- tive-C source code. In the past, it has been abused as a general text processor. It will choke on input which does not obey C's lexical rules. For example, apostrophes will be interpreted as the beginning of character constants, and cause errors. Also, you cannot rely on it preserving characteristics of the input which are not significant to C-family languages. If a Makefile is preprocessed, all the hard tabs will be removed, and the Makefile will not work. 2) The "safe" way to call cpp is to use "gcc -E" (or an equivalent), so that the "correct" version gets called and search paths are set to reasonable values. -- Michael A.

Having said that, it was only dealing with system mail. FWIW the servers were running samba, nfs, cups and all the config files were retained. The install/upgarde process stops where config changes are contemplated and asks whether you wish to accept the maintainer's version - the default is to keep existing config files; they all seemed to work OK.

The easiest way to install this would be to use something like apt or aptitude to do the installation, as it would resolve the dependencies for you. Failing that of course you can manually download each package that you do not currently have and install them separately. The meanings of the listings are: Depends - You need to have this package installed in order to install the main package. Recommends - Is a package that works with the main package and the maintainer of the package recommends that you also install it. Suggests - Additional packages that are also useful in conjunction with the main package. To see what packages you currently have installed you can use the dpkg command to list them out: dpkg -l will list all of the packages that have an entry in the debian packages database. If the first column contains ii then that package is installed. Again you would probably want to install new packages using apt or aptitude. I prefer apt, in this case you could do the following: apt-get install inkscape Of course you would need to make sure that your apt sources file is setup correctly. -- o) Derek Wueppelmann (o (D .

If, for whatever reason, you prefer to stick to installation via CDs, I'd recommend that you simply download and burn to CD the ISO images for Debian, or at least the first 3 or 4 CDs. Then you can just "apt-get install " (for packages on those CDs; they're arranged in order of popularity, with the first CD having the most popular packages on it), and the dependency issues will be handled automagically. -- Kent West Technology Support /A/bilene /C/hristian /U/niversity -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I think I'd try a different mirror, perhaps one closer to home. You can find a list of mirrors for stable here: http://www.debian.org/CD/http-ftp/ (and many of these will probably work for testing also). It may be that you're just having trouble reliably getting to debian.org from New Delhi.

Re: CVS: No such repository
Quoting Andrew Berry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Hi, I have a Debian server running Sarge running MySQL and CVS mainly. All was working correctly until an upgrade this morning. Now when I try and log into CVS I get an error saying "no such repository" - this is when I try and login locally or remotely. I've checked again the permissions on the repository and they look OK, and the groups/owners are correct as well. Also in the syslog I get the following error:- cvs-pserver[709]: connect from 10.142.5.15 (10.142.5.15) and then "cvs: login refused for /data/cvs_home/repository_root". You might want to check and see if you have pserver connections allowed in /etc/hosts.allow. Other than that, I am not sure. Check if the filesystem, the CVSROOT is on has any corruption. Sorry if this is either a) a really simple thing to solve but it's causing me major problems as I have a numbers of users who cannot check code out at the moment or b) the wrong list to post this too, if so can someone please point me in the correct direction. No sweat. A more complete snippet of your log might be revealing. CVS version is 1.12.9 (client/server). Thanks for your help.

But what you said could, of course, apply to gcc 3.4, too. One problem is, that e.g. the nvidia modules does not load into the kernel when compiled with 3.4, for the kernel was compiled using 3.3.x.

I am using a telephone line DSL (make Dlink 502T router) and ethernet card (Realtek 8139 PCI Fast Ethernet). I have a subsciption of MTNL (Govt. telephone Co.). And most importantly everything else seems to work fine. I can ping, surf, use DAP, etc. Is it possible for the DNS lookup to fail in the case of apt and not while pinging the site.

Any clues.

Debian newbie without internet connection...
I am new to Linux and Debian. I've just installed Debian from CD. I would like to install some software on my new Linux computer. (For example, I would like to install OpenOffice.) However, I can't run "apt-get install", because I don't have an internet connection to my Linux computer yet. I've got access to a high-speed internet connection on a Windows computer. What is the easiest way to install software on Debian in this situation? I have figured out how to get apt to install software from a CD, but I'm not sure how I resolve all the dependency issues. Is there a way that I can run apt-get from my Windows computer to download all the depencies I need? Then I could burn the packages to CD and transfer them to my Debian computer. Or is there another way to get all the dependencies for a particular peice of software that I want to install? Thanks for the help. Landon

Debian Prebuilt Kernels
Hi I'm running a Sarge as a webserver etc. I have searched apt for prebuild kernels that suits my system and I have found 4 images: kernel-image-2.4-686 kernel-2.4.27-2-686 kernel-image-2.6-686 kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686 All are i686 which is perfect for my P4 CPU.

But finally I found, that setting the environment variable 'CPP' helped the configure script. So besides CC and CXX, I now set CPP to use the *-3.4 version. Thanx for helping anyway.
