No setup signature found...
Hey Guys, I was compiling a 2.4 kernel (test5) and put the info in lilo.conf, ran lilo and now on boot if I try to boot the image, I get a message saying: No setup signature found... the system then halts. Does anyone know what may be causing this? I buit another kernel from the same 2.4 source and it boots fine. Thanks for any info! D.G
mmap(0): Illegal seek
Hey Guys, I received this message in my system check. I was wondering what this illegal seek is. Is this an attempt to exploit ftpd?

Re: downgrading to potato
You just change your sources in /etc/apt/sources.list to potato stable: deb ftp://http.us.debian.org/debian/ potato main contrib non-free deb-src ftp://http.us.debian.org/debian/ potato main deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US potato/non-US main deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US potato/non-US main and do the apt-get dist upgrade (which should downgrade you) I think this is what I did when I went back from woody to potato for the same reasons. I still have some trouble with woody stuff that is still on the PC (perl too new) etc. D. Ghost
communicator 4.6 library missing (but here)
Hey Guys, I just installed communicator 4.6 and for some reason, I can't run it because it thinks I have libXt.so.6 missing. It is really on my system though because I can see it.

missing /dev/hda2
Hey Debianers, I have a question about a partition of my hard drive that I can't seem to locate. When I set this machine up, I set up a 10 gig drive to have /dev/hda1 with 7 gigs and set the rest aside for another partition (can't remember why I did this, but I did... I don't think I could get all 10 gigs in one partition) at any rate, I am quickly running out of space on the 7 gig partition and I can't seem to find a way to mount my second partition. Is there something I can run to see which device (if any) the other 3 gigs are on, or is there something I can do to put that space on a device (mount point) ? Thanks! D. Ghost

Netscape, IMAP and compact folder (fwd)
-- Forwarded message -- Date: Mon, 4 Dec 2000 00:22:58 -0500 (EST) From: Debian Ghost [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: debian-isp@lists.debian.org Subject: Netscape, IMAP and compact folder On occasion, when using IMAP, my netscape will fail to compact the folder if I've been moving some mail from one place or another. I will have to restart netscape and move the mail again and then 'compact folder' is this a bug with netscape (4.73) or a bug with IMAP on the server? I am responsible for IMAP and this local machine, so either way it is my problem to fix :) Anyone have any experience with similar problem? Thank you Kindly, D. Ghost

Re: samba or NFS mount
Thank you for the reply. So samba is the only way to mount an NT filesystem? Sounds good...

gnome shortcuts
Hey All, Silly little question here. I can swear I used to drag icons from the Gnome pager to the desktop to create a shortcut. I recently had to reinstall enlightenment (not gnome) but when I started X again, all my gnome stuff was gone. When I try to drag icons off the main gnome pager to the desktop, they don't stick. It is like a paper icon that flies back to the pager. Could anyone tell me what I am doing wrong and suggest a way to get icons on the desktop. I also use multiple virtual desktops and sometimes the gnome pager will be on all of them and sometimes it will only pop up on my original desktop but not the other desktops. Anyone have a clue about that? Thanks so much, D. Ghost 'space ghost using debian'

I was also wondering another way to identify how much ram is in a mcahine other than using 'top'. Thanks, D. Ghost 'space ghost flying to M33 using debian auto pilot.'
sunrpc
Hello All, I removed *portmap from /etc/rc2.d and I am still having sunrpc start up on boot. I want to remove sunrpc from my system, but am having trouble. Can anyone explain how sunrpc starts and how to stop it from starting? Thanks! D. Ghost
audio for root, not user
Hello All, I have a question. One one debian box I have sound working properly. On another It is not. I type in the same command to load the modules, but different modules appear to be loaded if I do a lsmod. On the machine that is not working properly: After I load the sound modules and try to play a file through xmms I get a message that says please check that your soundcard is configured properly or that no other program is blocking your soundcard (with a normal user). But if I log into X as root and run xmms it will play the sound. I have added the normal user to the audio group just as I did on my box that is working. The modules that load on the working box are: Module Size Used by cs4232 2628 0 uart401 6116 0 [cs4232] ad1848 15844 0 [cs4232] On the box that will only play sound as root: Module Size Used by cs4232 2496 0 uart401 5880 0 [cs4232] ad1848 15596 0 [cs4232] sound 55780 0 [cs4232 uart401 ad1848] soundcore 2496 5 [sound] If anyone can help me with this problem I would be grateful. Thanks and have a nice day! D Ghost
gnome panel (catch me if you can)
Hey Guys, Have a question about gnome panel and enlightenment. I am currently using the enlightenment pager and have two pagers with 4 workspaces each. Most of the time my gnome panel will only be on one set of the pagers. I'd like to have the panel running in all 8 windows at all times. The strange thing that is baffling me is that it will show up on all 8 periodically and then dissapear from 4 windows (one pager). Then a couple days later it will be back on both pagers. It always stays up on one pager that I have, but only shows up now and then on the second pager. I know this is confusing and hope someone can desipher this and give me some advice:) Thanks a lot! D.

.bashrc question
Hello All, Ghost here. Recently switched from ksh to bash and have a question. When I open up an Eterm, it does not seem to be reading my .bashrc properly. For one, I have the lines: eval `dircolors` alias ls='ls --color' # set a fancy prompt PS1='[EMAIL PROTECTED]:\w\' Basically all I want to do is set the prompt from [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ to [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ (I prefer to see to $) Also, wish to have my ls = ls --color. Both of these things are not working. It almost seems as if my .bashrc is ignored. Can anyone give bash advice? Thank$ a lot! Debian Ghost 'space ghost with a drop of water'

Re: last rc. file ???
Hello Krzys, Thank you for the speedy reply. I have tried your suggestions and still receive a message that basically says I have not passed the proper arguements. I put the entry in the alias file and also put the entry in options. I am unsure why it still is not working. Is there anything else I can check?

What you want to do is install the modutils package, put the cs4232 arguments in /etc/modutils/options: options cs4232 io-0x534 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=3 and put something like alias sound-slot-0 cs4232 in your /etc/modutils/aliases. Something like that, anyway. -chris On Thu, 31 Aug 2000, Debian Mail wrote: D Ghost here. I have a quick question here. What is the last rc file to run?

I am not so sure I understand what RPC servers are. Does it have something to do with an NFS type service? I do not know that I use any RPC servers or services. That is why I am considering turning down the sunrpc service. Would this be wise? Thanks! D.

I have checked inetd.conf and it is not started in there. I want to not run this deamon. How do I turn it off ? This service is provided by `portmap'. Remove `/etc/rc?.d/S18portmap' to stop it from being started, but note that any RPC servers that are invoked will more than likely refuse to start or just simply crash. -- Olaf Meeuwissen Epson Kowa Corporation, Research and Development
