java from sun: installation problem
I have debian3.0 (woody) installed).
I run gnome.
I tried to install j2se from
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/download.htmdownloaded the Linux self-extracting file:
j2sdk-1_4_0_01-linux-i586.bin
then (as root) cd /usr/local/java/
and run ./j2sdk-1_4_0_01-linux-i586.
then I run:

120
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac javac
/usr/local/java/j2sdk1.4.1_01/bin/javac 120
I also put in /etc/profile:

export
CLASSPATH=.:/usr/local/java/j2sdk1.4.1_01/lib:/usr/local/java/j2sdk1.4.1_01/jre/lib

System.out.println(Hello World!); //Display the string.

Not really a solution in a Debian way(tm), but works.
Rodrigo has the right answer here. It's not so much that your solution
isn't the Debian way, it's that it's potentially unreliable. The
soname of a library changes because something changed in the library to
render it incompatible with previous versions; it might not be anything
you'll notice right away, but it's better to avoid the chance that
something will inexplicably fall over three months from now when you've
forgotten what you did.
This is why, especially in the case of things like libstdc++, Debian
tries to provide older versions of libraries and make sure that they can
be installed at the same time as the newer versions.
I tried the symlinks before and then installed the older library
(libstdc++-2-libc6.1-1-2.9.0
In both cases when I try to run the following program:
---
/*
Hello.java
*/
import java.awt.*;
public class Hello extends Frame {
public static void main(String argv[])
{
new Hello();
}
Hello() {
Label hello =
new Label(Hello World);
add(hello, Center);
setSize(200, 200);
setVisible(true);
}
}
---
javac Hello.java
java Hello
Then
the box with Hello World appears but I got the following message:
''
2002-12-10 18:19:48 java.util.prefs.FileSystemPreferences$3 run
WARNING: Could not create system preferences directory. System preferences

The same message appears when I run 'appletviewer something.html'.
Any clue?

Debian3.0, Win2000 and LILO problem
I have Pentium IV, HD 40 GB. First Windows2000 professional was installed on first 30 GB of the HD (on hda1). Then on hda3 (10GB ) I installed Debian3.0 (current stable) using compact floppies and then via ftp. I chose (in the end of the installation process) to use menu version of LILO and to install it (LILO's boot block) in /dev/hda3. Linux was loaded default and Win2000 as other. I changed it manually editing lilo.conf so Win200 was loaded default and Linux as other. It worked fine. I compiled the kernel-2.4.18 ( from resources ) and run lilo and still it worked fine (I mean Win2000 and Linux was loaded properly). After one day when I switch on the computer I saw the following: Verifying DMI Pool Data Boot from CD: MBR 3FA: and computer hanged. (in BIOS the sequence boot is: floppy, CD, HH0). I tried to use the boot floppy to load linux but it did not work, instead sequence of zeros appeared: 0000...so on. The rescue floppy did not work either (the same behavior as in case of boot floppy, boot: 0...so on). But when I used Backspace to delete the appeared zeros they did not appeared again and boot: rescue root=/dev/hda3 worked and the linux kernel was loaded. When I tried to run lilo I got the following message: -- Warning: Int 0x13 function 8 and function 0x48 return different head/sector geometries for BIOS drive 0x80 Added Linux Added Win2000(hda1) * -- But it changed nothing. So I run: 'lilo -u' to uninstall LILO and change in lilo.conf the line boot=/dev/hda3 to be boot=/dev/hda. I run lilo (got the message as above: Warning: Int 0x13 function 8 and ...) but now something changed: The coloured LILO menu appeared, after the line (on the screen) boot: sequence of zeros appeared: 0000...so on but when I used Backspace to delete the appeared zeros they did not appeared again and I could choose which OS to load and they both seem to load properly.

But on the console the mouse still does not work though I changed the configuration of gpm to imps2. Does anybody have any clue? Many thanks Jan for me the Intellimouse driver didnt work right even though it is an Intellimouse! (optical).

Re: Debian2.2 and XFree86 version 4
There are packages for XFree86 4.0.3 under potato. Just add the following lines to your sources.list: # Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 - XFree86 Version 4.0.3 deb http://people.debian.org/~cpbotha/ xf403_potato/all/ deb http://people.debian.org/~cpbotha/ xf403_potato/i386/ Just run apt-get update / apt-get dist-upgrade to upgrade your installation of version 3.x. You can also use dselect with apt as access method to install it, if you didn't have an existing XFree86 installation. You have to configure XFree86 Version 4.0.3 with xf86config (in text mode) because there is no graphical setup program like in version 3.x. For me there were no problems with the upgrade (I used apt-get to upgrade an existing installation). But I think at the moment not every graphic card that is supported in version 3.x is already supported in version 4.0.3. So better check if your card is supported on http://www.xfree86.org before making the upgrade. I have got S3_ViRGE and Matrox Millennium. It seems (from the xfree site) that XFree86 version 4 support these two video card but I cannot find SVGA server. Has the SVGA server replaced by many different servers e.g. Matrox Millennium server, S3_ViRGE sever and so on? Jan
Debian2.2 and XFree86 version 4
Does XFree86 version 4.x work well under debian2.2 (potato)? Do you advise to install it instead version 3.x? Does there exist debian package which installs XFree86 4.x under debian2.2 ? Jan

delete does not work properly under X Window
I debian2.0 on Pentium. The key delete works (under X Window) the same way as backspace does I mean both keys erase a letter on the left side of cursor. The key delete works O.K. on the console (it erases a letter on right side of cursor). I have tried to put in .Xmodemap the following keycode 22 = BackSpace keycode 107 = Delete or keycode 0x16 = BackSpace keycode 0x6B = Delete but it does not help, the keys work as before. Could someone please suggest how can I achieve the delete key work properly (I would like delete key to erase a letter on right side of cursor). Jan

lpq:Queue: no printable jobs in queue
I have two printers installed on my Debian2.0 machine (the name of it say A): local lp and remote p17 which is installed on other debian2.0 machine (say B). When I first tried to print from machine A using the remote printer on machine B (using command 'lpr -Pp17 name.ps') I made probably some mistake. The file name.ps was not printed and I got the following message on machine B (where the printer is installed and plugged to machine B): $ lpq Printer: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Queue: no printable jobs in queue Status: server finished at 15:55:33 Then I change the configuration of the printer p17 (printcap, hosts, hosts.lpd) and I got the printer p17 working but I get the message (with different time): $ lpq Printer: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Queue: no printable jobs in queue Status: server finished at 15:55:33 again and again (although p17 prints fine) How can I get rid of the annoying message?

Using kernel-2.2.0 with debian2.0?
Is there somebody using the kernel 2.2.0 with debian2.0 ? It seems that the compilation process is finished successfully.

Next invoked 'lilo' but when I rebooted my computer when the system (kernel) is loading the message 'Loading Linux...' appears and it seems that nothing more is loaded I mean the computer (the process of loading the kernel) hangs and I have to reboot my machine.

how to set up delete and Num_Lock under X Window ?
I. Under X Window backspace works in the standard way but delete works exactly the same way as backspace. How can I achieve the two keys named delete working under X Window in all applications (e.g. xterm, emacs, mathematica, netscape, vim,..) in the standard way (erasing the sign after cursor not before, like backspace does) ? On the console (without X Window) delete works in the standard way (erases signs after cursor). II. In many applications (e.g.:netscape, mathematica) the keys from the numeric keyboard does not work (when push some key it is heard bip). Pushing Num Lock does not give anything ? To be more precisely I have quite big mess. In Mathematica3.0, netscape4.5 any of the keys from numeric keyboard does not work. Under Netscape the standard delete (not the one from the numeric keyboard) works in the standard way (erases signs after cursor) but in Mathematica front end delete works exactly the same way as backspace. I have read in keyboard-howto that it is rather needed to define for each applications separately the keymap to get delete and numeric keyboard working in the standard way under X Window. If anybody has the keyboard (delete and numeric keyboard) working in the standard way, please help me (e.g. some input code for .inputrc, .Xmodmap, .emacs,...).

Linux cannot use swap bigger then 460Mb ?
I have Pentium II, 512 Mb RAM, Linux debian 2.0, kernel 2.0.36 I need quite big swap, so I created 7 swap partitions hda3,hda5,...,hda10, as seen below: /dev/hda1 *11 420 3175168+ 7 OS/2 HPFS /dev/hda2 421 421 438 1360806 DOS 16-bit =32M /dev/hda3 439 439 456 136080 82 Linux swap /dev/hda4 457 457 556 7560005 Extended /dev/hda5 457 457 474 136048+ 82 Linux swap /dev/hda6 475 475 492 136048+ 82 Linux swap /dev/hda7 493 493 510 136048+ 82 Linux swap /dev/hda8 511 511 528 136048+ 82 Linux swap /dev/hda9 529 529 546 136048+ 82 Linux swap /dev/hda10 547 547 55675568+ 82 Linux swap When the system is loading it prints that the 7 (seven) sawp partitions are activating, and that's mean that I have 860Mb of swap. Unfortunately when the mathematica3.0 is running, after using (consuming) all RAM memory it can only use up to 460Mb of swap and then it prints message: 'out of memory' and exits the calculations (stop running the calculation) but it does not crush, the front end of it and its kernel can be used further. It is normal ? How can be the total swap amount (860Mb) used? Does anybody have some idea, where could be reason for such behaviour of Mathematica, Linux and swap?

Which filter should I choose? Also I have a postricpt printer HP Laserjet 4MP. How can I set up it ? I mean is there an obvious printcap entry for such printer or is there some tool for automatic generating printcap for postscript printer or should I create it manually studying printcap manual? Another question I have a printer working on remote Linux machine. Is there a tool for automatic generation of printcap for such printer ? Say I have printcap entry for remote printer: lp0:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp0:\ :mx#0:\ :sh:\ :rm=mel222.sggw.waw.pl:\ :rp=lpd:\ :if=/var/spool/lpd/lp0/filter: How can use it for printing ? (I am not sure whether the printcap entry is proper). lpr foo.ps ...?

How to calculate the proper modeline? (DCF?
I am reading XFree86 Video Timings HOWTO and I would like to compute DCF/HSF but I do not know what DCF (dot clock frequency) is ? I mean I do not know where it comes from? Here are some information of my OS nd hardware: I use debian2.0. I have Matrox Millenium || AGP, 8Mgb videoRAM, monitor Bridge OSD 17 (17inch). 1.

Synchronization :Horizontal: 30KHz-70KHz (Automatically) :Vertical: 50Hz-160Hz (Automatically) Video Bandwidth : 100MHz at-3db So I think I can put HSF = 7 and VSF = 160 but what about DCF ? Is DCF = 100 proper? How can I get it ? So shown below the Maximum allowed dot-clock: 250.000 MHz Is it connected to DCF ? 2.

MuPAD window problem (copy and past)
I use MuPAD (xmupad) under debian2.0 and have the following problem with copy and past). Usually when I mark some text e.g. in emacs using the left key of mouse then I can past e.g. in vim, netscape, ... using the third key of mouse (actually the emulation of it by pushing at the same time both keys of mouse) but I can not do that in the xview MuPAD window, that means I cannot copy anything to MuPAD window from anywhere and even from MuPAD window to the same MuPAD window using mouse. It is normal behavior of xview MuPAD window (very poor editor) or does anyone know how to achieve select (mouse left key) and past (emulation of the third mouse key) ?

I think this is a cache related bug, as turning off the (disk) cache in Netscape will prevent this from happening (at least for me). Another workaround is to follow links from the main article index using the middle mouse button. This will tell Netscape to open the link in a new window so that you never have to reload the index from cache in the first window. Unfortunely that way works only first time, I mean when I exit netscape and then after some time I start it again I cannot read the debian-user archives (e.g. September) even one time: netscape hangs again and I have to kill it. YMMV. -- ( - - ) | http://home1.inet.tele.dk/renehl/ Jan

kde problem and wmanager question
Q1. I have installed kde from the stable distribution (debian2.0), I mean I just did: dpkg -i kdesupport*.deb dpkg -i kdelibs*.deb and so on (kdebase, utils, graphics.) Now I start usually (startx) with fvwm95 and then from the debian menu I choose WindowManagers/kde where the entry in menudefs.hook is: + kde Restart /usr/X11R6/bin/kde Of course I can start the kde script in startx or change the order in the file /etc/window-managers What happens ? After some time when I use kde (it works after loading) I just cannot start any program. I mean when choose something from the the kde or debian menu. What is going on ? Should I put some environmental variable (e.g. in profile something like KDEDIR= ?) ? Q2. I would like type startx and have possibility interactively to choose before X Window is loaded which window manager I would like to start. It is possible? How ? Thanks in advance, Jan
configuration of teTeX (v. 9)
I have noticed that I do not have any PATH and MANPATH in profile for teTeX (for teTeX4.* I had to put PATH an MANPATH). It seemed to work until I tried to use dvips. For some quite small document (4 very simple pages without graphics) 'dvips file_name.dvi -o file_name.ps' starts metafont (or kpse*) to make fonts but with strange effects: my screen becomes white and I cannot control my mouse. I decided to kill X Window (ctr alt backspace). However xdvi file_name.dvi works fine. Could someone please explain what's going on ? Should I configure teTeX somehow ? Jan
looking for c library for simple graphics (in .deb)

Strange behavior of magicfilter configurator
I tried installed magicfilter under debian2.0 and could not configure it. Namely when I choose the option to create a configure file (printcap) it asked me for one printer name,...,filter and then for second, third and so on. I could not to stop the configuration script and to create printcap. So I created manually but I think there should be a way to force the script to create printcap.

Debian and two more OS's
I created on 4G hard disk, using msdos fdisk 1600Mg primary partition and installed there Win95 (Fat32). The rest of the HD was left untouched by msdos fdisk. Then during the debian2.0 installation I created primary partition hda2 as a native linux (1400Mg) and hda3 (100MG) as a swap. On rest part of HD I would like to install some other OS e.g. some other distribution of Linux (rethat) or NT. I would like also redhat to use the hda3 partition as a swap (which name I changed to hda4). Now I would like to create primary partition hda3 as a native linux, which I'll mount under already installed debian2.0 or on which I'll install redhat. Using fdisk (linux) I got the following partition table: Device Boot BeginStart End Blocks Id System /dev/hda111 204 1638598+ b Unknown /dev/hda2 205 205 382 1429785 83 Linux native /dev/hda3 383 383 510 1028160 83 Linux native /dev/hda4 511 511 523 104422+ 82 Linux swap Unfortunately after the command 'w' Command (m for help): w I got the message: The partition table has been altered!

Could someone please explain to me how I can create the partition hda3 on which I would like to install redhat (or NT) or just mount it under debian. For now when I boot.bat under Win95 (msdos mode) from redhat CD-ROM, redhat refuses to create and initiate hda3 as root file system, and only suggests hda2 to mount as a root file system. If I have to reinstall all systems could someone tell how make a partitioning of the the HD to be able to install the three OS's Win95, debian, redhat (or NT). Thanks in advance Jan Krupa
How to install via nfs, ftp?
I have on one partition (1G) Win95, Fat32. I would like to install Debian on the rest part of hard disk (2G) but the problem is that I do not have CD-ROM with the distribution and AFIK there is no way to install debian from Win95 FAT32 partition so I need to install debian via internet (ftp, fns). How it is possible? I used rawrite2 to prepare two 1440 floppies: resc1440.bin and drv1440.bin (from Linux/debian/dists/stable/main/disks-i386/current/). I booted compter from floppy resc1440.bin and then installed modules and drivers from floppy drv1440.bin then configured modules and drivers (installed support for nfs, eth0, network card) then configured network( host name, domain name computer's IP address,...). After that I chose to install *the base system* via nfs but did not know how to type the name of nfs server. e.g. I tried to type 'debian.org/dist but it did not work. Could someone please explain to me how to install debian via nfs or ftp ? I mean which floppies should I prepare and how to type the name of the nfs server ? Of course I have other possibility to install the base system from 5 floppies but what then ? The file basecont.txt shows that the 5 floppies do not contain e.g. ftp. For now the only way I see to install debian on my computer is to buy distribution on CD-ROM but it would be faster(earlier) to install via ftp. Thanks in advance Jan Krupa

When I choose from the emacs menu Tools/Read_Net_News
I got the following message:
Gnus: *Group* {nntp:mel222.sggw.waw.pl}
but it should be (according to my configuration):
Gnus: *Group* {nntp:news.icm.edu.pl}
My nntp server is NOT mel222.sggw.waw.pl, is my hostname
but not nntp server.
Could someone please explain what might be going on ?
How to get nntp server working?
Thanks in advance,
Jan Krupa

I would like to compile scilab-2.3.1 under Linux machine, Debian-1.3.1, kernel 2.0.34 (32). I unziped and and untared the file scilab2.3.1-src.tar.gz (tar xzvf scilab*.tzr.gz). Then typed './configure -with-gnu' and next 'make all'. The compiling process failed with the following message: -- sc.c -o x_misc.o cc -O -Dlinux -D_POSIX_SOURCE -fwritable-strings -I/usr/X11R6/include-c x_screen.c -o x_screen.o cc -O -Dlinux -D_POSIX_SOURCE -fwritable-strings -I/usr/X11R6/include-c x_scrollbar.c -o x_scrollbar.o cc -O -Dlinux -D_POSIX_SOURCE -fwritable-strings -I/usr/X11R6/include-c x_tabs.c -o x_tabs.o cc -O -Dlinux -D_POSIX_SOURCE -fwritable-strings -I/usr/X11R6/include-c x_util.c -o x_util.o cc -O -Dlinux -D_POSIX_SOURCE -fwritable-strings -I/usr/X11R6/include-c x_VTPrsTbl.c -o x_VTPrsTbl.o cc -O -Dlinux -D_POSIX_SOURCE -fwritable-strings -I/usr/X11R6/include-c x_zzledt.c -o x_zzledt.o cc -O -Dlinux -D_POSIX_SOURCE -fwritable-strings -I/usr/X11R6/include-c h_help.c -o h_help.o Creation of ../../libs/xsci.a rm -f ../../X11_defaults/Xscilab cp Xscilab.ad ../../X11_defaults/Xscilab make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/scilab-2.3/routines/xsci' make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/scilab-2.3/routines' linking gcc: libs/scicos.a: No such file or directory make: *** [bin/scilex] Error 1 Could someone give me please some hint how to manage to compile scilab ? Does anybody successfully compiled scilab-.2.3-1 under debian1.3.1 ? I have also tried to use binary distr. of scilab but after when I untared, unziped and type 'make' I tried to invoke 'scilab'. I've got the following message: /usr/local/scilab-2.3/bin/scilex: can't load library 'libf2c.so.0' but I cannot find anywhere (in the debian1.3.1 distribution) the libf2c.so.0. I have only found 'f2c_960717-0.deb' but it cannot be installed without libf2c.so. Thanks in advance, Jan Krupa P.S. I have compiled scilab-2.3 under slackware3.2, kernel 2.0.0 and for my friend under redhat4.2, kernel 2.0.28 without any problem, but now I have upgrade my slackware3.2 to debian1.3.1. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
