RE: psql comands

[Iuri Sampaio]

I tried but it says that the file is not recognized as a tar file :(
As the filename is: profi_lamp_install_guide.tar.tar
So I ran

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ tar -xvf profi_lamp_install_guide.tar.tar
tar: Read 1918 bytes from profi_lamp_install_guide.tar.tar
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ 

then I tried 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ tar -xzvf profi_lamp_install_guide.tar.tar

which gave this
INSTALL

Which I ran and got

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ./INSTALL
./INSTALL: line 1: 1st: command not found
./INSTALL: line 2:
-:
command not found
./INSTALL: line 15: Zlib: command not found
./INSTALL: line 16:
-:
command not found
./INSTALL: line 17: syntax error near unexpected token `v1.2.3'
./INSTALL: line 17: `zlib (v1.2.3) (http://www.gzip.org/zlib/)'
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls



Anyway I already got it but it didn't help me that much since postgresql has
to be installed different. Check it out
http://openacs.org/doc/current/postgres.html


thanks

The "Download" link at that url points to a .tar.gz archive 
file. The documentation is probably inside it. Un-tar that 
file with something like this:

mkdir ~/lampp
tar xvzf profi_lampp_install_guide.tar.gz -C ~/lampp

RE: How do I replace lilo with grub?

[Iuri Sampaio]

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I guess you just need to install and it
must overwrite lilo. 

$grub-install

An advice, you should always keep a copy of your boot loader system (GRUB)in
another place else instead of mbr(master boot sector), a floppy is a good
way.

You apt-get install grub and then grub should work.

If it fails, you should check the error messages and have a look at
menu.lst (or grub.conf not shure how it is called right now) and
manually install grub (via grub-install dev/hd-whatever)

I'm using the technique described here on a couple of my servers and it
works like a charm:

Yeah, it's the gentoo wiki but the idea sure works cross-distro :-)

On my Sarge system, 'getent' is in the libc6 package:
$ dlocate getent
libc6: /usr/share/man/man1/getent.1.gz
libc6: /usr/bin/getent
...

The C library is rather critical to the system, so you want to 
investigate to see if it's installed properly.


If you must re-install it, you can get it from a Debian mirror 
via web browser and probably install it using dpkg.

Ok, never mind, I discovered fs corruption on the inodes associated with 
locale, iconvconfig and so on. So after running fsck I copied those 
binaries over from another debian system and afterwards was able to 
perform the update.

Re: hibernate desktop?

Anybody done this successfully?


Just download and apply the suspend2 patch for your kernel [0] .
Recompile with suspend2 / Swap Writer options enabled, install the
hibernate package [1] and tweak /etc/hibernate/hibernate.conf.
Afterwards, add a resume2=swap:/dev/hdaX to your lilo or grub config
and you're good to go.

For a bit of eye-candy, you can download suspend2-userui [0] and
enable it by tweaking /etc/hibernate/suspend2.conf. That way you can
get text-mode, fb-mode progress bars when suspending happens. Also,
you can interrupt the process. I believe the necessary patches to
support this are included in suspend2 versions 2.1.9 and later.

Good luck!

munin problems

[julian]

Hi all,

I have just installed Munin following the DEbian Sarge documentation and
installed the client app on my other servers.

All went fine and the main server was updating the graphs, but the two
clients are not updating the graphs.

Munin's cron job is also having problems

Error writing to /var/run/munin/munin-update.lock, wrong permissions at
/usr/share/perl5/Munin.pm line 356.
Error writing to /var/run/munin/munin-graph.lock, wrong permissions at

Configuring mdadm - Initialise superblock warning

[Duncan McDonald]

Hello,

I'm a relative newbie to Debian and recently after I ran 'apt-get 
dist-upgrade' I got the following warning:


? Initialise the superblock if you reuse hard disks
?
? WARNING! If you are using hard disks which have a md superblock from an
? earlier installation in a different RAID array, you MUST zero the
? superblock before activating the autostart feature.
?
? For doing this, do not start the RAID devices automatically and zero the
? superblock (mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/xxx). You can then further use
? 'dpkg-reconfigure mdadm' to activate the autostart feature.

I'm running Sarge stable on a RAID1 array using two brand new hard disks, so 
am I right in assuming that I don't need to initialize the superblock?


I've tried Google but I couldn't find anything useful. Can anyone give me 
some pointers?


Cheers,

  -Duncan

When talking about rescue Live CD, IMHO, nothing comes close to grml
(grml.org).

What's more exciting is that it also come with an 55M alternative iso,
which is ideal for a Live USB. It is a pure Debian 386 based Live
system that will boot any machine that allows booting usb.

The root fs is read only, so it should be usb friendly.

I have found The Debian System by Martin Krafft to be very useful.  I'm 
not sure if it would be adequate by itself for a total beginner, but it 
is a very comprehensive guide to installing and maintaining a debian 
system.

I have "The Debian System" and that is a decent book ->

The Debian documentation (http://www.debian.org/doc/
) is also a great place to start as well a the all important man pages.

I am fairly new to Debian myself and between these three resources I 
have been able to answer any question that I had about the system.

Trouble with Debian etch on fujitsu-siemens PA1510.

[Margiolas Christos]

Before some weeks I bought a very nice laptop, the PA 1510. I am tring
to install debian testing on it... I have tried the gui and the classic
installation and I hadn't any problem. The problem is that when I am
trying to boot the debian system the coptuter show me the
message"hda_codec: Unknown model for ALC861 trying auto-probe from
Bios" and after the system hangs and repeat the message
"azx_get_reponse timeout". The ALC861 is my sound card. I tried to give
some parametres to grub in order to load the debian system. I tried
noapic, noacpi but nothing. Also the laptop works fine with ubuntu :(.

the suspend capabilities of the linux kernel are improving, but not

use custom kernels built with the suspend2 patches.  there are various

Web interface to view iptables logs

[Alejandro]

Dear all, I have a Debian with iptables. At this moment, iptables logs
are put in syslog.
I want a package that let me see the iptables logs in a web interface,
using either syslog or ulog, in order to analize the firewall behaviour.

Can you tell me how I can do this  What package/tarball can I
download and use ???

Thanks a lot,

Apt is configurable in this respect, it just isn't documented yet (see
Bug #376158):

apt-get update -o Acquire::Pdiffs=false

or, to make this setting permanent, put the following in
/etc/apt/apt.conf:

Acquire::PDiffs "false";

All package management tools using apt should honour this.

Try putting this line in /etc/apt/apt.conf (creating the file if it
doesn't already exist) to turn off pdiffs:

Acquire::PDiffs "false";

I guess you can put it in a separate file in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/
instead if that directory exists on your system.

Not sure why this isn't in the apt.conf(5) man page; maybe because it
was just added recently.

Find out the actual refresh rates and plug them into
XF86Config-4. You can probably find this information in your
user manual for the device, or you can check the
manufacturer's or vendor's web site.





I searched the refresh rate for my monitor and it tells me the max
resolution and refresh rate is 1028*1024 I really do not understand
how to convert this into Xserver config.

Below is my xserverconfig file but my monitor is using 1028*768 as
resolution and some bad refresh rate which hurts my eyes.

Can any of you help me please?

ISO Creation

[Stephen Yorke]

Hey all...
 
I am still trying to get my LIVECD created properly and pretty much have a Beta 
of it.
 
The problem I am having though is with the ISO itself.  I create it with 
MKISOFS and  I can mount and boot it with QEMU but not VMWare or Microsoft 
Virtual Server.
 
Am I doing something wrong?
Is there a different switch which needs to be in place to get it to work with 
the other products?
 
Any suggestions would be great.

The use of any *NIX type file system which keeps access dates/times
will cause wearout very quickly. I've used DSL, and have no idea
why it would be superior in this respect. OTOH, I have not used DSL
from a memory stick.

WiFi Card Drivers

[John Graves]

My laptop is Knoppix and now seems to be a mix of unstable & testing.  
Be that as it may, I can't find any drivers for my SMC 2635 WiFi Card.  
Can anyone point me to a source of drivers or instructions in how to 
contruct a driver for the card.  I am new at this and still learning. I 
do appreciate the patience of the group.

MRTG does not pick up interface IP addresses one of the hosts

[George Borisov]

Hello,

I am monitoring a few firewalls using MRTG.

On all but one of them MRTG is able to pick up the IP address for
 all the interfaces on these machines.

Several of these machines are Debian Sarge boxes (including the
box with the problem.) All of them have an almost identical SNMP
configuration (community, location, support and interface speed
are the only things that have been manually set.)

The question is, therefore, why is MRTG unable to pickup the IP
address information from just this one host, but can do it just
fine for all the others?

When running cfgmaker against the problem machine I can see the
IP addresses in the output, but not in the generated config file.

This is pretty much the limit of my SNMP knowledge. :-(

I also have a test Cacti server here which is also unable to pull
the address information from this one host.

Any ideas?


Thank you in advance,

Perhaps for your dialup connection this is worse, but for one I have it
is better.  I would much much rather download 10 files that are 30kB
each than the single package list that is 4MB.  If only there weren't so
many pdiff files to download sometimes...


Well, that's exactly the problem. If one doesn't update daily, there
can be quite a few pdiffs to download.

Hi Michael,
does this use SATA? If so, have you tried changing to PATA?
any other details about the board? Would you try to replace the cdrom
drive to see if that helps? Maybe you need to modprobe in the middle of
the installer to have it recognize the cdrom? have you been able to use
Knoppix, grml, ubuntu or suse livecd's? If so, have you tried to use
debootstrap or dbootstrap (I forget which) to install(its in the Debian
Reference in PDF on the website)?
cheers,
Kev

Hmmm, I wanna use it as my main disk though (e.g. lots of compiling), so
I don't want anything as slow as NFS, for instance (I sometimes compile
stuff in NFS mounted trees at work, and man, it's _painful_)...

Now that SATAe is starting to be supported, I'm thinking maybe it's
worth getting a SATAe enclosure and a PCI SATAe card for my current PC
-- if nothing else the enclosure should be pretty cheap (since it would
require almost nothing in the way of interface electronics), and as fast
as the disk itself.

Thanks,

-Miles

I've been bitten by this also. They recently upgraded apt to download

You've reached the "shell", which is the basic user interface of a Linux
system. Your system is fully functional, although I suppose it's not
doing what you expected it to do :-)

If you would like to have a graphical user interface, then what you
should've done is install the "desktop" task when prompted; this will
give you the required components to do this.

It's not too late to do that now. The easiest way to get there is if you
install the packages "mdetect" and "read-edid", and then install the
desktop task. You can do this as follows:

* Log on as the "root" user, with the root password you entered. Note
  that Linux is case-sensitive; everything should be entered in
  lowercase.
* Install the two packages; run "apt-get install read-edid mdetect"
  (without the quotes)
* Run "tasksel" (without the quotes), and select the desktop task.
  Confirm your choice; when prompted, allow the system to autodetect
  your hardware.

The installation should now work, and give you a graphical UI. If the
above procedure does not work, or you find it impossible to understand
somehow, I recommand you just reinstall; there are other ways to fix
your installation, but if you do not understand the system, a reinstall
is often the easiest way to fix the system.

That should not be necessary, at least not for the initial installation.

Re: esound locking sound

[Yuwen Dai]

Esound grabs /dev/dsp to manage it, so you can hear sounds fromdifferent apps concurrently.  For example, hear warning or alert sounds
while playing mp3s or videos.On sarge, for ogg123, you'll need to put this in  /etc/libao.conf or~/.libao:default_driver=esdThat works for me.  See man libao.conf .I wouldn't know about the games.  For xmms, Options -> preferences,
eSound.  For mplayer, ~/.mplayer/config , add:  ao=esd .For flash, I needed to add this link:sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libesd.so.0 /usr/lib/libesd.so.1I never found this info in one place!  Hope this is helpful.
Yes. Some sound applications have options to use esd, i.e., mplayer.  Some don't have. In such case, you have to kill the esd.  That's life :-)Dai Yuwen

Just about any live/rescue CD/diskette with usb support should

Of course some USB sticks are smaller than a

Re: eth config for pppoe interface

[Jörg-Volker Peetz]

You even don'nt need two network cards. You can connect your ADSL-modem
to a ethernet switch or hub and your PC (one or more) also to this LAN.
You connect the modem to one of these PC by starting pppoe on it. If the
PC is configured as router other PC on the LAN can use this PC as
gateway (and firewall) to the WAN.

As far as I know you need to use the gatos drivers for the Mach64 cards.

Re: inetd or xinetd

If the file "/etc/inetd.conf" contains only comment or empty lines, with
the package "openbsd-inetd" installed inetd is not started at boot-up.

Just out of curiosity, and slightly OT, may I ask what hardware you are using? 
I am thinking about changing my current 7-disk jet airplane of a NAS to a
smaller one with external USB disks, to eliminate the noise level but still 
let the server function as something more than file storage.

Odp: Re: is it possible to create a black box with debian?

[Zbigniew Wiech]

Hi,

Do I understand well, this blacbox would
act as a private http server located near end customer ?

Why not set a real website, with cheap
internet access and "thin" discless client in untrusted location
?

In any mature enough CD playing application audio should be extracted
digitally with no need of a physical connection. Otherwise it's too
"old skool".

Cordially, Ismael

because many packages depending on netbase depends on it because of inetd
(inetd was some time ago in netbase). See:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=154441;archive=yes

However they imho should not depend on it. Maybe debian should introduce
pseudo-packages like internet-superserver or maybe tcp-superserver and
udp-superserver (for things like couriertcpd or tcpserver that only provide
tcp superserver)

"aptitude" is another choice:

Kmail new account created - keeps asking password

[M-L]

I had occasion to create an extra, new account in Kmail, and at every boot, or 
every time that Kmail is shut down, then restarted, it asks me for the 
password of that new account.

I am using Kwallet, and that might be the problem. Has anyone any idea where I 
might find a fix for this? I have never used Kwallet in the past.

TIA
Charlie
