I've found various problems with CUPS and I therefore use magicfilter,
which works better for me. There is (an older) version available as a
Debian package and also a rewritten version, which I have in /usr/local,
at http://www.pell.portland.or.us/~orc/Code/magicfilter/.

It could be worth trying this if you are still having problems.
Magicfilter is easier to set up IMO and there is a Debian package for
this (magicfilterconfig).

I know this gets discussed every once in a while; I've never paid much
attention to those discussions (but they'll be in the archives). I just
hit Reply-All and then delete the sender's name, leaving the Debian-User

Postfix is denying sending mail to a handful of users

2005-07-13 Thread Jan Albrecht
Hi all,

I've got a strange problem here:
I connect via IMAP to my mailserver (which is also my rootserver). On
this server Postfix is delivering the mail.

If I send the mail to 5 users it works perfectly.
If I send the mail to 20 users (BCC), postfix does this with the mail
adresses:

Jul 10 18:58:32 xxx postfix/smtpd[450]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from
xxx.t-ipconnect.de[xxx]: 554 : Relay access denied; from=
to= proto=ESMTP helo=

Has anyone an idea why this does happen?

I've already raised the limit:

~# postconf -d | grep smtpd_recipient_limit
smtpd_recipient_limit = 1000

but it seems that it does not work.

Has anyone of you an idea?

Regards

Jan

Domain question

2005-07-13 Thread Rob Brenart
So I have a handful of computers at home, turning into a home office... 
servers are debian sarge, laptops are WindowsXP I set the domain for 
the debian machines as ODS, but as of right now I haven't done any such 
thing for the XP machines because they complain about there not being a 
PDC for that domain.


I don't really care yet about any kind of centralized user management or 
whatnot, what I care about is for the machines to be able to see each 
other by machinename... right now I have to go by IP, which aren't 
reserved so it's kind of a pain.


So is there a quick way to this solution, or do I need to turn a debian 
box into a PDC, can I even do that?

Postgresql8

2005-07-13 Thread Rob Brenart
I'm running Debian stable and want to install PostgreSQL 8 instead of 
7.whatever is in the repository.


I want to keep the system as a stable system, not upgrade to 
expiremental (which I here has the version I want).


I was wondering what the best method of going about this is, or is the 
best method just to use 7.x?

Pam and winbind

2005-07-13 Thread Greg Trounson

Hi,

I'm running a Sarge box that I want to authenticate against a Win 2003 
Server.  I understand that the old RH way of doing it was to use 
pam_smb_auth.so, which was easy to set up but inherently insecure.


So, I've configured pam, winbind and samba, but obviously not quite 
correctly.  When I try to su to a user with a windows password it fails 
and I get the following error in /var/log/auth.log:


pam_winbind[12063]: request failed: No such user, PAM error was 10, NT 
error was NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER


This user definitely exists in both /etc/passwd, and in the windows ADS 
tree.  I can log in as the same user with the unix password, so at least 
the pam_unix module is working.


Another clue:
wbinfo -u on its own fails, but it works fine if I run:
wbinfo --set-auth-user=gregt -u and enter a password.

Any ideas?

thanks,
Greg

If you have a problem I suggest you to start one thread and then stick to it by 
replying to your message or to the post other users send to help you. This way 
you will get better help becouse people can see what you already tried and what 
was alreaddy suggested, and then they can give you better and more detailed 
help.
I would like to help you, but I don't even know if you managed to install

You hit the nail on the head, it was X that was hanging. The XFree86 was
 eating CPU like you said and "killall -9 XFree86" recovered the machine
by returning me to the GDM login dialog box.

My video card is GeForce2 MX 400. I have replaced the "nv" driver with
"nvidia" and the freezes are now gone. I'm back a happy man.

No argument, sorry again. I hit reply, and the way

wxvlc uninstalable after upgrading to X.org

2005-07-13 Thread jacques babaud

Hi,

I made a careless, strong 'aptitude dist-upgrade' and half my system 
disappeared. Since then, I cannot install wxvlc (or gxine, see bug 
#318019) without having to uninstall libglu1-xorg, x-window-system-core 
and xbase-clients. Which dooms me to watch movies with the libcaca ;-)


I think it's the same dependency problem with the xlibmesa-glu. But 
there is no reportbug concerning this package.

I'm running Ubuntu on my laptop, and have been running X.org

You should keep replies on-list, rather than replying privately. In this
way, everyone benefits from the flow of information.

An Intel Pentium is classified as an Intel Architecture (IA) 32-bit
system, so IA32 is the correct version for you.

XFS + LVM + RAID10 = raid0_make_request bug

2005-07-13 Thread Erik Karlin
I've seemingly hit a problem trying the combination of xfs on lvm on
raid10 (software)

I've currently got 2 disks running (hda/hdc) and I've added two more
(hdi/hdk).

The running disks are configured as 2g ext3 root raid1 (hda1/hdc1-md0), 1g swap
raid1 (hda2/hdc2-md1) and the rest as LVM partitions (hda3/hdc3). The
LVM contains /usr, /var, and three other mounts, only one that crossed
into the /dev/hdc3 PV.

I had one disk fail, hdc, and I've gotten the replacement. The raid1
partitions were simple, but of course, LVM doesn't like disk failures. I
used dd_rescue to make a copy of hdc3, and that seems to work. I get
some xfs errors, and xfs_repair fails, but I'll deal with corrupt files
later.

I added the two other disks (same size) and partitioned them the same
except for the 3rd partition which I set to raid partitions.

My intention was to build a raid10 array. I made hdi1 a spare for md0,
and hdi2 a spare for md1. I made hdi3 and hdk3 a raid0 md2. I then made
md4 out of md2 and missing (md3 will be hda3 and hdc3). All fine.
/proc/mdstat looks good, md4 is in degraded mode. The next step was
supposed to be make a fs on the lvm on raid10, copy what I can from the
corrupt old lvm partition, and then reformat hda3/hdc3 as raid devices
and raid 0 them (md3) and then add them into the raid1 (md4). First
problem, I had to reset the md detection flag in lvm.conf (lvm2). I
eventually was able to pvcreate, vgcreate, and lvcreate. When I went to
mkfs.xfs the new logical volume, I ran into:

raid0_make_request bug: can't convert block across chunks or bigger than 64k


google reveals that error during kernel 2.5.x -> 2.6.x, back in 2003. It
seems to have been a problem with xfs on top of software raid0.

I'm running a mostly sarge (2.4.27-k7) system. I tried different PE
size args to vgcreate, the default 4m and 32m. I'm just not sure what to
try next. I came across some links that suggested not using xfs, but I'd
like to know if that is the only solution, or did I make some mistake.


Thanks

Commonly this means that the graphic display system, XFree86, is not set up
correctly.  Have you tried typing

dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86

at a command prompt, when running as the root user?  What happened? 

If nothing else, try using the VESA server.

Graphical interface problem

Hello,
I installed the debian OS in My Dell notebook. Everythink is fine at

I cannot start the X server (your graphical interface). It is likely

This was helpful. I got it to work. Thanks.

A problem arose: If I want audio coming out of my laptop rather than from my 
server, I will need to alter the variable AUDIOSERVER. At first, that 
variable was only modified in .bashrc, but I wasn't satisfied: I wanted to be 
able to alter the currently used audioserver on-the-fly and not only on 
re-login.

So I went and hacked this together.
# ! /bin/bash
# This is distributed under the GNU General Public License. I am Anders 
Breindahl, and may be reached at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
if [ -f ~/scripts/determine-audioserver ]; then
export AUDIOSERVER="$(sh ~/scripts/determine-audioserver)"
else
export AUDIOSERVER="tcp/$(hostname):8000"
fi

if [ "$1" == "mplayer" ]; then
$@
elif [ "$1" == "auplay" ]; then
$@
else
audiooss $@
fi

Now, the output of my script determine-audioserver (which quickly tests for a 
soundserver using auinfo) is assigned at program start. Therefore, if I 
launch all audio-applications through this wrapper, I may change where sound 
goes at program start, rather than at reboot. A bit more useful.

Regards, and thanks again, Anders Breindahl.

I am curious. It seems you can reproduce the problem. Is it X that is hanging.  
 
Can you ssh into  your box, run top and see if XFree86 is running 99.9 % of 
cpu usage? just an idea - also what is your video card on the machine? 

If so, try to kill -9  the XFree86 process and then you can do remote reboot. 
let me know what you find.

Before that you have to install kdm package. This can be done by

Printer issue -- SOLVED!

2005-07-13 Thread Benjamin Sher

Dear friends:

Printer issue resolved!

My printer is now working fine.

I called my printer company, Okidata, and, although they don't provide 
tech support for Linux, their expert was able to figure out that I was 
using the wrong emulation HP driver for Okipage 14e. The correct driver 
is HP LaserJet 4P, NOT LaserJet 4Plus. That's how close the drivers are. 
The "4Plus" driver will not print a page, even though Kprint sent it 
successfully to the printer. As soon as I switched to "4P", it 
immediately responded and printed out the wonderful test page.


Thank you all for your help.

Benjamin

I've had experience of this sort of problem arising if the paper size is
set wrong.  In windows there seemed to be a multitude of places to set
the paper size and if they weren't all set correctly the printer
wouldn't print.

However, I've not seen this problem in Linux.  Check that you've
installed the correct driver and that the printer configuration is setup
for paper size etc.

The settings page you sent looks OK.

I tried it (kernel-image-2.6.8-11-em64t-p4-smp), and

use iptables. It gived me a message about the filter
table (or change the kernel). But the iptable_filter

available but also their source and which one apt prefers over the
others. You can have unstable lines in your sources.list but still have
apt ignore them until you force it to use them (e.g. via '-t unstable').

Dear friends:

I've spent the past hour searching in Google for articles that will
explain to me how to install my printer in Debian 3.1. I'm
literally 99% of the way there.

First, I found out that Debian 3.1 does not include the CUPS server
by default. So, I downloaded that via Synaptic. Then I downloaded
hp-ppd (for my Okipage 14e, which uses HP Laserjet 4 emulation).
Then, I found out that I need the gimp-print foomatic files, so I
downloaded them as well as other gimp files dependent on them. I
then went logged out and logged back in as root and configured the
printer in Kprinter (KDE Control Center, Peripherals).
Configuration was a total success, and at the end of it all I saw
my Okipage printer listed at the top of the printers. So what's
wrong? Well, when I tried to print a test page, it said: "print
test successflly sent to the printer", but so far no actual
printing. My guess is that I am just one step away from actually
printing, but I am at a loss as to what is holding things up.

Would appreciate your help in resolving this issue.

can't get it in iptables

2005-07-13 Thread sett sett
Hello all,
I am trying to use iptables for nat.
Here is my firewall.sh

#!/bin/sh
IPTABLES='/sbin/iptables'

# Set interface values
EXTIF='ppp0'
INTIF='eth1'

# enable ip forwarding in the kernel
/bin/echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

# flush rules and delete chains
$IPTABLES -F
$IPTABLES -X

#Enable masquerading to allow LAN internet access
$IPTABLES -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o $EXTIF -j MASQUERADE

#Forward LAN traffic from LAN $INTIF to Internet $EXTIF
$IPTABLES -A FORWARD -i $INTIF -o $EXTIF -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT


eth1 is 192.168 subnet so I give out internet to my local machines. 
but there is also subnet 10.20 connected to server and I want to allow
all the pcs from my subnet 192.168 to acess 10.20 through server.
for now everything coming to server goes to ppp0. 
How do I challenge that?

People will argue about whether Testing or Unstable is safer -- Unstable
gets quicker security updates, for one thing.

As to your question:  not in general.  Right now, packages for Etch will
very probably work in Sarge, but once Etch institutes major library changes
(as will happen very soon, I believe) you'd have to install large numbers of
support packages for most Etch or Sid packages to work.

No.  Typically there are never any CD images etc. created for
"testing".  "Testing" is not a release; it's a state.


Let me try to make things clearer because I don't think you've quite got
the whole picture.

The Debian release process is not a discrete set of steps, rather it is
a continuum.

When "sarge" (Debian 3.1) is released, it's not like the next day the
Debian project recompiles every one of the 15,000 packages and that is
the start of "etch".  No; on the day after "sarge" is released, "etch"
has exactly the same packages as "sarge".  Over time, new versions of
packages will be created and those will move into "etch", but not
"sarge" (since "sarge" is stable).  So, over time, the contents of the
releases diverge.


In addition to the named releases, there are three (for simplicity's
sake we'll ignore the others) package archives: "stable", "testing", and
"unstable".  Packages always exist in one of those three archives.  At
any given time, one of those archives corresponds to some named release.

For example, before "sarge" was released the stable distribution was
"woody" (Debian 3.0).  So, the "stable" archive contained the packages
that made up the "woody" release.  The next release at that time was
"sarge".  So, the packages in the "testing" archive were the ones that
were targeted to go into the "sarge" release.  The "unstable" archive
always has a release name of "sid"; that never changes.  The packages in
"sid", or "unstable", are the ones that developers have built and
proposed to go into the next release.

When "sarge" was released, all the packages in "testing" were migrated
into the "stable" release.  Now, the "stable" archive contains the
packages that are in "sarge", and the "testing" archive contains
packages that are targeted for the "etch" release.  The "unstable"
release is still nicknamed "sid", like it always is.


So, how to packages move around?  When a Debian developer decides to
update a package for ANY reason, she will upload the new version and it
will enter the "unstable" archive.  The new version overwrites whatever
package was in "unstable" before.

The package will sit in the archive for some amount of time (10 days or
so; I forget).  At the end of that time the package will automatically
be moved into the "testing" archive ("etch"), IF and ONLY IF there are
no critical bugs filed against that version of the package AND if all
packages and versions that this package depends on are already in
"testing".

The new version of the package simply overwrites whatever version was in
"testing" before.


This goes on for a long time.  At some point, when the "etch" is getting
ready to release, the migration of packages from "unstable" to "testing"
will be clamped down, testing of the release will happen, and when it's
ready all the packages in "testing" move to the "stable" archive and
"etch" is released.




Thank you for this explanation, it helped my understanding of the process.

I hope my question fits in with the original post in this thread because 
Mr. Sher asked about getting the latest releases. There are some 
packages (I'm thinking specifically of wine) that are under heavy 
development with daily builds. Can upgrades for this kind of package be 
gotten from the current "testing" or "sid" without risking the basic 
stability of the current "stable" (sarge in this case)? I suspect that 
"testing" would be "safer" than "sid".

squid snmp timeout

2005-07-13 Thread Miguel
Well, I configured Squid to use the snmp support.

Added this to squid.conf:
snmp_port 3401
acl pb snmp_community public
snmp_access allow pb

Netstat shows me that the port 3401 is bound to squid and listening:

gw:~# netstat -apnu
Active Internet connections (servers and established)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address   Foreign Address State
PID/Program name

But, when I try to connect, using snmpwalk, it give me a timeout:

gw:~# snmpwalk localhost:3401 -v 2c -c pb
Timeout: No Response from localhost:3401

I'm not experienced with snmp, what am I missing? Using Sarge.

Im installing Debian 3.1 and when I come to the part in the
installation where I need to install GRUB I get the following error:

The Grub package has failed to install into /target/. Installing GRUB
as a bootloader is a required step. The install problem however might
be unrelated to GRUB, so continuing the installation may be possible.

logged back in as root and configured the printer in Kprinter (KDE 
Control Center, Peripherals). Configuration was a total success, and at 
the end of it all I saw my Okipage printer listed at the top of the 
printers. So what's wrong? Well, when I tried to print a test page, it 
said: "print test successflly sent to the printer", but so far no actual 
printing. My guess is that I am just one step away from actually 
printing, but I am at a loss as to what is holding things up.

Would appreciate your help in resolving this issue.

Dear Michael and friends:

Thanks so much for the tip. Here is the output of error_log. 

  
  
I couldn't see anything there that helped me. Can you confirm that your
printer did flash some lights to show it was receiving data and that you
did send the correct page size and didn't press any 'cancel' button on
the printer?

You should also check www.linuxprinting.org, particularly the
fora/discussions for your specific printer.


  

Dear Michael:

Thanks for writing. No, the printer did NOT flash any lights to show
that it was receiving data. On my Okipage 14e you can usually see the
second green light blinking, indicating that the printer was about to
start printing. This did not happen in this case. 

Thank you.

Benjamin

Installing software from source...need a .dsc file.

2005-07-13 Thread Redefined Horizons
I've got a couple of programs I'd like to install on my Debian Sarge
system that are only available in source code. There is no .dsc file
for download. I'd like to install the software via APT/Synaptic. Is
there a way I can generate a .dsc file for the source code? What
exaclty is a .dsc file, and why is it needed?

Thanks,

Hi Lance,

This is probably because most files under /etc are "conffiles", and dpkg
will not install a missing conffile by default if you reinstall an
already-existing package.  (It assumes that if you previously deleted
the conffile, you must have done it for a good reason.)

The --force-confmiss option to dpkg will probably do what you want:

dpkg --force-confmiss --install xlibs_4.3.0.dfsg.1-14_all.deb

Cingular ISP & Linux pppd local/remote IP Addresses?

I was hoping someone might be able to help identify a ppp configuration

not correct, but don't have any clues as to how to resolve it.  Any

Honestly, if you're looking for a program with the functionality of
Azureus, you won't find it. There are some good 'simple' bit torrent
clients out there (bittornado) but Azureus has, by far, the most
functionality of any client I've used.

If you don't want to use Java in linux because of the hassle of setting
it up, it's gotten MUCH easier over the last couple of years.

If you're avoiding Java because it's not free, then I fully understand
and support your decision. Just be aware that one of the consequences is
giving up great apps like Azureus.

(Though there is some hope. Azureus uses SWT for the GUI which does NOT
require a Sun JVM. However, I believe that some of the other internal
code DOES require a Sun JVM. But at some point in the, hopefully, not
too distant future, someone may make a fully-free implementation of
Azureus that will work with one/all of the FOSS Java alternatives.)

I'll bet the problem is libaspell15 being replaced with libaspell15c2 in 
unstable right now, and the alioth packages haven't been built against it 
yet. Try going to packages.debian.org, finding libaspell15 from Sarge, and 
'dpkg -i' it, then try installing KDE again.

Unstable is much more fun now that's finally unstable again :- D

gnome-session updated and lost sound on Sarge

2005-07-13 Thread H. S.
I upgraded gnome-session to  2.10.0-5 last night on my Sarge, 2.6.11, on
a PIV. After that, I logged out of Gnome and couldn't login back. The
login process 'hanged' on the gray screen that comes just, before the
splash screen appears.

I then deleted everything that belonged to me in /tmp (gconfd* alsa*
.esd* orbit-* etc.) and relogged and was successful. But now sounds do
not work. In my .xsession-erros, I get these messages:

What do I need to do to correct this? I tried deleting

login to a KDE session, sound works okay.

files are: 'conffiles', 'list', and'md5sums'.After unpacking and

# See smb.conf(5) and /usr/share/doc/samba-doc/htmldocs/speed.html
# for details
# You may want to add the following on a Linux system:
# SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
   socket options = TCP_NODELAY

You could try uncommenting the penultimate line.

Did you follow:

http://excess.org/docs/linux_windows_printing.html

Every printer I've set up using it was pretty painless.  You need the
following packages.  'cupsys-bsd' is important and before changing
anything make sure it's installed.

cupsys
cupsys-bsd
cupsys-client
foomatic-bin
samba
smbclient

The easy solution is just to ditch CUPS for my printing, but I really like being

Did you try CUPS with IPP instead of the SMB protocol?  That won't address
the samba problem, but may enable you to print with CUPS.

Re: Upgrade going to remove ALOT of packages. Why?

Are you sure?

> xserver-xorg  install

X.org is not part of the official sarge release which means you have
either unofficial backports or Debian testing/unstable in your
/etc/apt/sources.list (and didn't tell apt to ignore it). Please show us
the output of 'apt-cache policy xserver-xorg'.

# echo 'APT::Default-Release "stable";' >> /etc/apt/apt.conf

should make apt prefer stable package versions. You might already have
packages installed, which are not part of stable, though. Downgrading is
always an adventure.
