Umlaute verschwunden.
Hi, also wenn ich mich recht erinnere, hatte ich damit eigentlich nie Probleme. Aber ploetzlich (ich glaube es war nachdem ich einen 2.6er Kernel installiert hatte) geht gar nichts mehr. Weder dpkg-reconfigure console-data noch dpkg-reconfigure locales waren erfolgreich. Merkwuerdig ist allerdings, das die Umlaute nur auf der Konsole (einschliesslich xterm) verschwunden sind. Meine meist genutzten Programme unter X (mozilla, xemacs) kennen sie nach wie vor. Irgendwer eine Idee?

Umlaute verschwunden - Nachtrag.
Hi, Da kam mir doch gerade so eine Idee. Habe doch immer noch nen alten 2.4er Kernel auf der Kiste. Also rebootet und wer glaubts? Nun sieht alles wieder fast normal aus. Hier kann ich auch auf der Konsole rumnörgeln, ändern oder sonstige Überlegungen anstellen. Nur das eszet sieht auch hier etwas merkwürdig aus. Also tatsächlich ein Kernelproblem?

Re: ..rsync via ssh per Script.
Hi, wie einige richtig bemerkt haben, war ssh etwas paranoid bezüglich der Rechte auf dem Homeverzeichniss (/var/www) des Apache - users. Dies und der Hinweis auf den DEBUG-mode des sshd waren der Schlüssel zur Lösung. Nochmals vielen Dank an alle.

Re: ..rsync via ssh per Script.
Hi, nun, ich will hier kurz auf beide Antworten eingehen. ein kurzes Nachschauen zeigte, das www-data (natürlich der Apache-user) bereits eine Shell (/bin/sh) besitzt. Nachdem ich gestern entdeckt hatte, das der Wurm bei der ssh config zu suchen war ist mir auch su -c als einfachere Testmethode in den Sinn gekommen. Habe auf dem Ausgangsrechner in /var/www/.ssh/config BatchMode yes PasswordAuthentication no gesetzt. Mittels su - www-data -c 'ssh-keygen -t dsa' und su - www-data -c 'ssh-keygen -t rsa' entsprechende Schlüssel erzeugt, mittels scp die entsprechenden Dateien /var/www/.ssh/id_dsa.pub /var/www/.ssh/id_rsa.pub auf den Zielrechner kopiert und dort mittels cat id_rsa.pub id_dsa.pub authorized_keys zusammengefügt. uns so sah dann die Ausgabe des Tests aus (nur der entscheidende Teil natürlich). debug1: send SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_REQUEST debug1: service_accept: ssh-userauth debug1: got SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT debug1: authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive debug1: next auth method to try is publickey debug1: try pubkey: /var/www/.ssh/id_rsa debug1: authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive debug1: try pubkey: /var/www/.ssh/id_dsa debug1: authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive debug1: no more auth methods to try Permission denied (publickey,password,keyboard-interactive). nach der ssh manpage müsste das klappen. tut es aber nicht (wie leicht zu sehen). habe auf dem Zielrechner leider bisher vergeblich nach einem logfile gesucht, der diese Zugriffsversuche etwas detailierter beschreibt. Any Ideas? TIA Helmut ps: zumindest klappt die Alternativmethode rsync via NFS mounted Directory. -- Zum AUSTRAGEN schicken Sie eine Mail an [EMAIL PROTECTED] mit dem Subject unsubscribe. Probleme?

Host key verification failed! bei rsync via ssh per Script.
Hi, vieleicht kann jemand helfen? wie im Subjekt angegeben versuche ich rsync via ssh mit einem Script zu starten und erhalte genannte Fehlermeldung. das Problem ist nun, das Script wird von einem System- user (www-data) ausgeführt, der kein Home-verzeichniss hat.

Xemacs21.4 Bugreport - welches Packet?
Hi, vor knapp zwei wochen habe ich auf meinem Arbeitsplatzrechner ein neues Perl-modul installiert. Dabei hat dselect zugleich unter anderem Xemacs upgedatet, mit unschönen Folgen. Dired funktioniert nicht mehr, es kommen regelmässige Meldungen das das Autosaving Probleme macht und nach dem editieren von Programmdateien stelle ich immer wieder fest, das zwar eine Datei mit meinen Änderungen auf der Platte ist, jedoch mit völlig anderen Berechtigungen als das Orginal. Bei Perl-Programmen sehr lästig (executable).

Re: where is linux-utils?

Re: Loading packages from zip drive
Quoting Chris Reay [EMAIL PROTECTED]: The process appears to be collecting information about the packages but doesn't get very far at all, and after a while finds too many errors ... and returns to the dselect menu without installing the packages. Hi Chris, IMHO there are two possible causes for your problem, first if you start dselect to install packages first time (i.e. after installing just the base-system) it tries to install all packages selected and all preselected packages (i. e. all packages with category essential and category standard) that means, you have to go through the select process with absolute care, setting all such preselected packages to HOLD you dont have on your zip-disk, or else make shure you include all that packages on your zip-disk (i know it's possible, tried it myself). Second thing to keep an eye on is the directory-structure on your zip-disk that (IMHO) has to mirror the original directory structures of the mirror you got your packages from. e. g. dists/stable/(architecture)/main/(category e. g. devel, base, doc etc.)/(package) because thats where dselect tries to find them and of cause complains if they are not there. hope not having told trash Helmut.
Menu access to /usr/doc
Hi, considering myself still a novice to linux i spend lots of time reading documentation. first i complained about most of it beeing compressed text but soon i found a solution (zcat | xless). but the laborous method of tangling through several subdirectories was something quite itching, so next i tried to write a menu-sourcefile to provide faster access, but soon found it to be a tantalus-task when i got an idea of the total volume even with a rather spartan installation. so i started thinking about how a programm schould be designed to do the job. and now i'm rather content knowing there's no text-document (plain or compressed) in /usr/doc (and all subdirectories) further away than two mouseclicks - neatly ordered to their appropriate section (devel, libs, admin, utils etc.) and sorted. what to do now? there are two alternatives: 1. leave it as is and be content with it. 1.1 look out for some other playground. 2. prepare to distribute it i. e.: 2.1 write some general documentation. 2.2 review the source and add documentation there. 2.3 add a copyright notice (GPL of course) 2.4 prepare to extend it to support other WM (it's for tvwm2, cause that's what i use) 2.5 find a public accessable place where i get permisson to place it for others to get it. 2.x i'm sure it will take more, but i don't know what (jet). advice deerly needed.

worse off with debian 2.0?
Hi, maybe someone can tell me something about the very weird behaviour of my computer after switching from Debian 1.3.1, Kernel-Version 2.0.30 to Debian 2.0, Kernel-Version 2.0.34. on both OS i ran a self written program that may be busy for months at least, doing some evaluations. while running it at the old setting i just noticed that maybe some other applications sometimes seemed a bit slower. although this programm relies heavily on disk-IO i never noticed the hard-disk-indicator-lamp did more than just blink now and then. firing up top told me my program was happily running in background leaving the processor hardly any time left to idle (averages 0.0% to 0.4%). but that has changed far to the worse with my new setting. suddenly loading xemacs just will take up to 3 minutes and working with it sometimes seems to stop (i. e. it takes some seconds until my monitor shows the results of my typing). the hard-disk-indicator-lamp seems more a light than an indicator. now top tells me that there is time enough and to spare for the processor to idle (averages 40.0 to 60.0 %). of course i would appreciate more some hints what to do about this situation than pure explanations.

ISDN-Setup
Hi there, this is a request for approval (or corrections) and some questions. After i read on this list about problems with autoup i decided for a clean new install of Debian 2.0 instead. Having carefully backed up all my personal settings etc. all went rather smooth. But when i installed the isdnutils-package and some configuration script was run (isdnconfig) i firsthand decided to read some docu first. There i noticed that a lot of the layout in the config files has changed. Having now read (i think) all availible documentation i made my mind up how to continue. But beeing unsure i´d like your comments on my procedure. 1: use the old config files (pap-secrets, host.conf, hosts, resolv.conf)by copying them to the appropriate places (/etc, /etc/ppp). 2: my old entries in isdnlog.conf are placed in callerid.conf. 3: country- and areacode as well as my MSN and my providers phonenr have to be set in isdn.conf. Question: There was mentioned a ~/.isdn, where to find any info on that, and what is it good for? 4: take my old ioptions file and edit device.ippp0 accordingly, ignoring the mass of new options. Question: do i have to use the no..-options where i had -..-options before e. g. novj instead of -vj? 5: lookup the scriptfile that sets the base values via isdnctrl (isdn.ippp0?) and check it against the old script i was using. Question: there the defaultroute is set, mustn´t i delete it again to disable dial-on-demand? 6: the option file for isdnlog (isdnlog.isdnctrl0?) Question: should i change some of the default parameters or can i leavethem untouched? 7: edit /etc/ppp/ip-down.d/isdnutils to disable dial-on-demand. 8: remove the not configured lines from the config files. Until here i´m rather shure there will be no major misstakes, but from now there´s only questions left. How to change, set permissions (which permissions?) to initiate an internet session as user xyz, preferably using xmonisdn and how to change the according scripts besides eliminating the leading exit 0 - working examples wellcome - ? Can i insert the commands for mail-processing in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/isdnutils and do i have to precede the fetchmail command with su -u xyz when the acording .fetchmailrc is in /home/xyz? In my old setting i had a one line script to reset the default route because sometimes it happened that it was lost during a session, should i keep it? Oh, i see this has gotten longer than intended, but i can´t help it. Thanks in advance Helmut
Special (Chessfriends) Question!
Hi, hoping to be not the only member of the ICC (Internet Chess Club) here I am asking for advice for the setup of xboard for connect to ICC. Problems: 1. it seems my password (using an .ics file) was not transmitted (or too fast to be recognized?). 2. the manpage to xboard says that more parameters to be used with xboard can be defined in the file .Xdefaults. Because there was no such file before I created one in my users home directory ~/ where all the other dotfiles (.xyz) were placed. But it seemed all this parameters were ignored. 3. when I established the connection by adding the password manually i noticed that the transmission from ICC was illegible by the amount of seeks between. Is there a method to filter them out? Thanks for any help in advance Helmut (missed-chance) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Install Mailsystem HELP! continuation
Hi it s me again, this is just to prevent you from proposing things I allready have done. Saturday: making up my mind I decided the true error to be - From the manpage smail(8): If the -bd option was used, thenbind() failed: Address already in use implies that another process is already listening on the SMTP socket. So where to look for that villian blocking the SMTP socket. Remembered that mozilla had been running during some (all?) af the previous tests. So make shure it is not running. New test: one more possible cause eliminated. Maybe the ISDN logging demon is interfering? /etc/init.d/isdnlog stop New test: one more possible cause eliminated. Check this list: sorry, no new hints. Running out of ideas, reading the Xemacs info to relax, setting up a ~/.emacs file to make shure the from- Header will be OK (when I ever come to that). Quit for today. Sunday: Desperate start trying silly things. disable isdnlog and unload ISDN subsystem (no i dont have any internet- connection any more) and still smail is complaining. Should I continue and remove first module hisax and then ppp for further tests? Dont think I am that silly. Look up the manpage again and find at the bottom a reference to Smail Administration and Installation Guide. Hire AltaVista to lookup the web for it. Just getting references to the manpages. Install xarchie to have a further look at the ftp-sites. Write this message. hope for help.

Install Mailsystem HELP!
Hello, debian fans (I hope so) out there trying to set up a mail system I have run into problems. 1st: I have dialup connection to an ISP using ISDN (ipppd) and have all of that running and tested (ftp, www, etc.). In my attempt to give the last remnants of B.G. on my computer a farewell I just need just one thing more - a running mail system. And thats what i did: Sunday:load and install (using DSELECT) smail, fetchmail andprocmail. Monday:study the Network-Administration-Guide. Tuesday: finish with NAG and switch to the Net3-Howto, Mail-Howto, Offline-Howto and the PPP-Howto. Wednesday: Next the manpages and online docs at /usr/doc. Feeling prepared for a first test. OK. Cause I have subscribed to two mailing lists, this one and the german list, there is nearly allways mail to be fetched. Set up the .fetchmailrc, dial in to your provider, startfetchmail (verbose and keep of course) and see what happens. connect to mailserver OK. password OK. xxx messages to get. retreave messege 1. (till here its just my words.) SMTP connect to (null) failed bla, bla SMTP transaction error while fetching normal termination Code 9. (didnt note that either) So far it was what I had expected cause the manpage said there has to be an MTA (Mail Transport Agent) ready to take over. Thursday: Reading more closely the smail manpage, ah, there it is. The options -bd will cause it to listen for incomming mail and process it. Shuffling my feet, cut the green around the house, clean up my kitchen (I have just a private account at a commercial ISP, and he will charge bussines fees if I dare using the account during bussines hours). Time!!! Dial in to my ISP. Start smail -bd Start fetchmail Same error. Checking the log files finding in /var/log/smail/... bind() failed address already in use Browse the net (www) loading down the ISDN4Linux FAQ loading down Bernd Hailers ISDN documentation (URL´s in /usr/doc/??? Browsing through this mailing list: someone wrote he could read his mail using fetchmail (how that?). Anyway its too late, lets call it a day. Friday:Checking the manpages on procmail more closely, they say procmail can be used as MTA, OK lets try that next. Shuffling my feet (again). Paing a visit to downtown, write thanks to a guy that helped you on this list - more then overdue. Set up ~/.forward Set Up ~/.procmailrc Time!!! Dial in to my ISP. Run fetchmail Same error Retry it in different combinations (files in /root/ or in $HOME/). Starting fetchmail as root or as user. All the same. What to do next? (besides studying the doc I have loaded down yesterday -the Bernd Hailer docs helped me a lot settingup my internet connection-.) Write this message and hope. Thanks in advance, Helmut. p.s. The (of cause futil) attempt of cron to run smail every 20 minutes (runq) just gives me nerves. Is it save to edit the appropriate crontab (/etc/smail/crontab?) ore even emove it? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Patience, this will get longer
Since January I am trying to learn a bit about Linux, and beeing lucky to find answers to most questions either in the online documentation or else searching the www. There are still two thing that bother me, 1st: though I´ve read all install files, manpages and docs of fvwm2 several times I just cant see where xdm starts the initial xterm, where i dont like its geometry (its just partly hidden by my button bar). 2nd: where to look for instuction about the file background.list you have to place in your homedir to get a random selected rootbackground, about the associated command randline I´ve found nothing too. (I´m just bored to reset the link background.jpeg manually whe I want to see a new picture in the rootwindow.) So far my severe requests for help. But I´m sorry, there are still three minor questions. Till now I´m running windows still because of two reasons. 1st: I´ve not jet set up a mailsystem and i dont think it a good idea just using Netscape as I´m doing it here (any recommendations). 2nd: I´ve just stored a backup of all the changes (customization) as well as from all the LDP and other documents in my windows partition and will have to keep it therefore untill I´ve decided what backup-hardware to use instead. I really dont like to reinstall 30 Megs from floppies (recommendations wellcome). That now leaves the last point. I´ve written a few tiny programms that manage to summarize access to all text documents in the directory /usr/doc in a single menu-structure. Till now its just the programms and a short shell script to run them in propper sequence. No documentation so far. But if other guys were interested in that I would appreceate any help how to forward it. thanks in advance. Helmut. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
