 Wondering if someone can help me with my ALSA config (0.5) with 2.2.18

 When running alsaconfig when I it trys to load the module it gives the
 following error:
 
 Loading driver:
 Starting ALSA sound driver (version none):modprobe: Can't locate module
 snd
 no devfs available (even though using the kernel with devfs).

The problem using devfs is that you need the devfsd running.

Regarding the alsa i made the 2 following modification:

in /etc/modutils/aliases add at the end of the file:

alias sound snd
alias snd   snd-card-XXX

where XXX is the name of your audio card (look at the alsa database to
be sure about
the name)

and then run

update-modules

restart the alsa:

/etc/init.d/alsa restart

and now it might work fine...

   192.168.2.30 is the ip address allowed to remote mount the cdrom

KOrganizer: strange behaviour

2001-01-11 Thread Fabio Massimo Di Nitto
Hi guys,
i hope someone can help and sorry if this might be OT or a stupid
question but i was not
able to find an answer in the documentation.

I usually leave my pc on duty 24h/day but i noticed after a couple of
reboots that some activities,
that i recorded like appointment, are now readonly and i'm not able to
modify them in anyway.
My questions are:

there is the possibility to put them back read  write and if yes how???

is it a bug or a feature??? I mean it's normale that after a certain
period of time some activities
are marked readonly??? because this might be fine but not for recurrent
events that might need to
be rescheduled, etc.

kernel 2.4.0-test9 and Cisco Pix Firewall - Might be a bug???

2000-10-10 Thread Fabio Massimo Di Nitto
Hi all,
I finished a fresh debian installation (woody) with kernel 2.4.0-test9
(tested
in various configurations) and 2.2.17 + pcmcia (latest release)

All the installation is on a laptop with pcmcia support enable for my 2
eth's.

The situation of my network is like this:

 box eth0 --- Cisco Pix Firewall --- real internet
 box eth1 --- real internet

my normal configuration is with eth1 down so all packets have to
travel trough
the Pix.

With kernel 2.2.17 everything work fine.
Using kernel 2.4.0-test9 no.

I disabled each kind of iptables or ipchains in a way that my box is
fully open.

I got that all connections to the localnet are ok while all tcp
connections from my
box to the real internet don't work. I receive a Connection Refused
while i'm able
to perform ping or traceroute to the same host.

So I setuped my eth1 directly on the real internet and everything worked
fine.

(also routing was ok in all conditions)

Any idea why there's problem???

Fabio

Hi Wilson,
if you need to monitor traffic on a lan i can suggest you both iptraf
and ntop. The last one provide also a mini web interface with traffix
matrix and statistics of any kind (very nice).

Instead if you've to monitor wan traffic routed over boxes that support

that use SQL to store polled data over a database but i don't remember

 If you haven't seen VRRP, it's similar to HSRP and only burns two IP's
 instead of three.  One machine is master, the other slave, and if master
 disappears, slave takes over his MAC address.

Linux HSRP

2000-08-10 Thread Fabio Massimo Di Nitto
HI all,
I've a problem that maybe someone can help me to solve.

This is my network situation:


| box1 || box2 |

|___|
|
   --  
   | pix fw |
   --

the main problem is that pix firewalls (cisco) are able to talk rip
but not to setup a default route with rip. Both the boxes are linux
(debian) with zebra on them working very fine :=)
Now the only solution i found to solve the problem is to put a default
static route on the pix but in this way i loose redundacy.
I would like to know if it's possible to setup a virtual shared ip
address between the 2 linux boxes (not load balancing) to ensure
redundancy.
That's mean that if a linux box is down the other is working with the
same virtual ip to permit the pix to work.

Thanks in advice.
Fabio

 Although what you suggest will hopefully be fine, you'd be far wiser not
 to overwrite the old kernel until you've verified that the new one is
 working as you wish. Copy your new kernel to (say) /vmlinuz.new, and
 edit /etc/lilo.conf to include both it and the old kernel. Also make
 sure the prompt option is included - lilo.conf is well commented so
 you shouldn't have too many problems. If the wheels fall off your new
 kernel, you've then still got the old one to fall back to at boot time.

Boot floppy [URGENT]

2000-07-20 Thread Fabio Massimo Di Nitto
Hi all,

I really need a fast help.

I've to setup a debian box with a Compaq Array SCSI Controller.

I downloaded the latest boot floppy for potato to install debian trough
network.

problem:

the Compaq Array where root has to be mounted is loaded only like
module.
I was able to partion disks etc loading the module during the
installation procedure
using the shell on ttyX but now i'd rebooted to continue the setup
procedure and how i suspected the kernel installed on the disk array is
not able to mount root since it doesn't have the module loaded and it
cannot load module not having root mounted.

Now I've compiled a custom kernel with scsi support and cqarray inside
and i made some
try to make a boot floppy but without success.
I used both mkrboot and mkboot.

using mkrboot i'm not able to specify the root disk.
using mkboot it report me (during the boot) lilo error 0x04

How can i do it?
Please help me is really urgent. Any suggestion is welcome

Thanks a lot

Fabio

Hi Richard I also noticed the same problem but i was also curious to
understand the
error reported:

Read error - read (115 Operation now in progress)

It might be a bug or something similar since it's the server not
available and not
a read problem.

it's obvious it cannot read without connection but might be a good idea
to receive message like service unavailable.

Thanks anyway Richard

Hi Jay

You simply do too much things in the wrong order...

make config(or menuconfig)
make dep
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.x.y
cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.x.y

modify /etc/lilo.conf to apply to new kernel image and run lilo

note: x.y indicate the kernel version. i use this system since i use to
change
them frequently and maybe you don't need.

it also can appear ex: /boot/vmlinuz-custom or whatever you want.
it's just important you remember than to put the same name in lilo.conf

Hi,
if you need samba on your intranet you can simply use ipchains
(kernel ver 2.2.x)
ex: ipchains -I input -j DENY -s 0.0.0.0/0 -d yourexternalipadd 139 -p
tcp
and ipchains -I input -j DENY -s 0.0.0.0/0 -d yourexternalipadd 139 -p
udp

if you don't need samba it's enought or to stop the service

box#/etc/init.d/samba stop

or deinstall it :))

I hope this can help you.

Yes, you can find them here:

Pay attention. Potato is still not stable and CD's on this site
are re-generated each week so you may be lucky to find them working

 And, does 2.2.14 kernel supports UDMA66 ?

i'm not sure but you can find patch for 2.2.14 to support UDMA66

exists some patches to make it working.  Anyone have already tryed them?

Are they working or not? It's better to leave the Hd on the /33

Any suggestions?

I've succesfully compiled and used Ssh 2.0.13 both on RH and Debian
I suggest you to check the packets needed by ssh (zlib is one of them)

 2. At work we are just beginning to use Debian and we intend to replace
 rh with Debian. I am able to run tcpdump on Debian but not on rh6.0. The
 latter gave this error with tcpdump -i eth0:

 tcpdump: socket: Socket type not supported

You have forgot to built in in the kernel the packet socket in networking
options
or if you have compiled it as module you have to load it manually (insmod
af_packets)

packet size (only during large  512Mb file transfer ftp or samba) and then 
the network went down. I think that the hardware is ok because i've tried also

If your laptop is a Winzoz box you have to use a terminal emulator because
it's the easiest way to link it to the net.

if it is a Linux box you can use slattach. It works fine to me too.

I've got my two desktop computers networked using 10base2 and they are
working nicely, now I'd like to add my laptop into the system.  I don't
have a network pcmcia card, but I do have a null modem cable.  I think  I

Disk /dev/hdb: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 1024 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 8225280 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0

1024 * 8225280 = 8.2Gb approx

What can I do to get the full capacity of the disk recognised?

When I installed the debian on a Dell 266 PC, I met a problem releated to
the SCSI

Then it stoped. Any idea?

Yes. i've encoutered a similar problem with my Ncr53c810.

the problem is located in your generic kernel. you need a specific one
compiled for your machine.

You may solve your problem in two ways:

1) ask a friend to make a boot-floppy with a specific kernel.

2) install a base of linux that will permit you at least to recompile the
kernel on a ide drive (unplug the scsi card before)
then recompile the kernel to recognize all your hardware (including SCSI
card). Plug your scsi card again and boot.
  if it stop again your kernel is incorrect otherwise continue normally.
 now you can setup all scsi peripherals.

I've used both solution and they works fine.
