Thats what it looks like, but the server-signature is

 Hey .. dude... I'm not sure ok... I'm just asking... You don't have to
 be so rude. If you read my question I am clearly saying that it
 appears to have recongnized the 2nd CPU.. I just posted here to get a
 better sense of how to confirm if the 2nd CPU is working or not...
 -
 - The output of dmesg and /proc/cpuinfo appears to have
 recognized the 2nd CPU. Any ideas if
 (a) the 2nd CPU is being used OR
 (b) it's not being used
 -

Well, since you're trying to use 'top' to determine if both cpu's are
active, why not read 'man top'

Also, don't set the 'Reply-to' address or reply to my personally. Again,

Nick Hastings [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

 My machines motherboard has and AGP slot so I thought an AGP card
 would be best. 

Another alternative is to run two video cards. I did that for a long
time, with an Nvidia GeForce 4 MX440 SE (AGP) and a cheap Matrox (PCI),
then replaced the Matrox with an Nvidia TNT2(PCI). Both setups worked
great, there was only a little trouble with the kernel switching to the
PCI card if I set the bios to use AGP, so I just set it to use PCI all
the time.

For the Nvidia cards, I used Nvidia's non-free drivers. They work
awesome. For the Matrox, I just used the in-tree kernel driver. Worked
just fine.

Also, don't try dual-booting this with Win2k. I think I got it working,
but it sure sucked.

But if money is not an obstacle, I would start with looking for used
Matrox cards on Ebay. You should be able to get something pretty decent
for less than retail.

Exactly, that's the obvious solution. I hoped that there might be
another more debianish way to do that.

There may be: obtain the last sources for 1.2 (snapshot.debian.net or
something, I haven't used it in a while) and figure out the
debian/rules stuff to build it yourself. It might conflict with the
installed gimp though, so you'll have to work that out yourself. Check
out backports.org (I think, haven't ever used it) for directions on
compiling, they might have something like a tutorial.

Its unsolicited bulk (if you count how many people subscribe to this

Generally, its a bad idea to go mucking about like that. I'm surprised

structure does not allow for sub-folders, if you think about it. How is
the client supposed to know if its another mail folder or the
cur/new/tmp structure? With periods, if you put a period in the name,
that indicates a new level. Therefore, folder
~/Maildir/.mailing lists.debian.user
shows up in the client as:
Inbox
-mailing lists
--debian
---user

Yes, this limits you to folders without periods (or they'll just be
subfolders), but it doesn't bother me. The people (or person, I think
Maildir was the work of qmail's author Dan Bernstein, someone correct me
if I'm wrong) put a lot of thought into how it should work, and then
created the tools and libraries to deal with it correctly. I'd rather
let them do their job.

 As a remarks, I believe php4-imap is for apache_1.3.x.   The only php4
 
 for apache2 is libapache2-mod-php4.

If you think about it, PHP and Apache are in no way interrelated, except
for libapache2-mod-php4 and (I would presume) libapache-mod-php4 which
(I would presume) gives the same for Apache 1.3.x. These libraries
provide the interface between PHP and Apache, php4-imap is an extension
for PHP, and should not depend on Apache in any way.

So, I think you should install php4-imap. It certainly can't hurt.

 I've been in discussions with a client about doing some numerical
 modeling once I get back from deployment.  This may very well turn

 To that end, I'm curious about what you know about multi-processor
 Linux boxes.  I'm interested in trying up yo four processors
 (probably start with a dual proccessor, but eventually add up to
 four).  I suspect there are quad processor MB out there.
 
 I know Debian handles this right out of the box, but how hard is it
 to compile for the additional processors?  Have you ever priced this
 sort of machine?  I'm curious about how much I'm talking about.
 
 
 I'm researching this for a currently deployed naval officer (a
 meteorologist) who's internet connection is a bit chancy...he's
 somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic. Any info or links
 appreciated...

I recently picked up an Abit BP6 (www.bp6.com) off ebay. It's the only
motherboard to support dual socket 370 Celerons, which makes it dirt
cheap, which is why I got it.

For the kernel, I'm pretty used to compiling myself, so it wasn't too
much harder. The only relevant change (I remember, that is) was to
enable SMP and limit the number of processors to 2, only because they
said it bloats the kernel a little bit for each extra you compile in.

That being said, I belive Debian has smp versions of some of the kernels
readily available from apt-get, with a name similar to
kernel-image-$VERSION-$ARCH-smp. 

Because the BP6 is a wee bit on the slow side (dual 300A's, running at
375), I like to strip as much out of the kernel as possible. Same goes
for a dual pentium-pro motherboard that I also got on ebay. Expect it
doesn't have a VRM, so the second CPU is doing nothing at the moment.

Of course, now that I've got a dual proc system, I will never go back.
I'm currently waiting for the AMD Opterons to go down in price, because
I've pretty much decided that my next box will be at least a dualie, a
quad mobo if I can afford it.

If you look around on ebay, there are some dual Itanium systems pretty
cheap ($750-$1000 range), and I've seen quad Pentium Pro systems for
less than $300 (not including shipping, unfortunately)

The ultimate in SMP is, of course, Sun Computers. Hundreds of CPUs,
Hundreds of Gigs of RAM, Hundreds of thousands of dollars.

I'd say your best bet is to find something on ebay, then check out
http://google.com and http://google.com/linux and see what other people
say about it.

 You could always get them from your latest backup *cough*

Some stuff, in places like /var/, I neglect to backup. In a case like
this, where some files need special permissions (only readable by root,
world writable, etc) your out of luck. Also, unless there is a way to
batch--reinstall, /bin/ and /sbin/ become a problem (I also neglect to

 Enlightenment v17 CVS will, as it supports EWMH.  You can forget about
 E v16.

Does your DR17 install co-exist nicely with DR16? I'm considering trying
it out, but would like to ensure that my current setup doesn't get
b0rked by DR17. On a slightly related topic: is there an unofficial
Debian package for DR17, or are you just using the CVS and doing the
standard source build/install?

I b0rked my old server in a similar fashion. Only sane way to fix it is
a clean install. I tried checking the permissions on a similar computer,
but there are so many files with special ownership/permissions that I
very quickly got very frustrated.

Re-install is the best way. (This is the only scenario I've run into
that really *required* a reinstall. Everything else I've been able to
fix.)

You need the alsa-modules package for your kernel. If none exists for

apt-cache search ^alsa-modules

Also install the kernel that matches the version:
apt-cache search ^kernel-image

or you can build the modules for any kernel. You will need the headers
package for a debian kernel:
apt-cache search ^kernel-headers

and the package alsa-source. Have a look at /usr/share/doc/alsa-source

Well, thats not the problem either. Further looking I noticed that it
does indeed find the needed library. It is included with the graal
tarball. However, checking their online forums, I found similar problems
reported by another user with an Nvidia card. Unfortunatly, I can't post
to said forums because they require me to pay a registration fee for the
game, which I sure as f*** ain't gonna do if it doesn't even work.

As a note, it does seem to find and read the libGL file:
[pid   543] open(/usr/lib/tls/libGL.so, O_RDONLY) = 8
...
[pid   543] open(/usr/lib/tls/libGL.so.1, O_RDONLY) = 8

Each noted file is a symbolic link, the first points to the second,
which points to /usr/lib/tls/libGL.so.1.0.4496 (4496 is the version of
my Nvidia driver). Kinda curious why it would load the files twice,
unless the first failed so it went looking for another version. Whatever
the case may be, this is as far as I go. If anyone gets this program
running (using the prop. nvidia driver | X's nv driver) I would love to
hear about it.

 I think the output from lsmod I posted in my other reply sugest not?

It's possible for them to be built into the kernel too. Try 'cat

 However now I cannot get it to run.  After doing some spelunking I've

I was (am) using webmin on a woody server. I've had no problems with it.
However, I used apt, first by:
apt-cache search webmin | grep ^webmin

apt-get install packages I want/need

dselect isn't too useful for everyday use.

 What version of the kernel are you using?  I am convinved I have seen
 a post somewhere that said that they had some missing symbols when
 using the k7 version of the kernel (ie 2.6.0-1-k7) and not when they
 used the vanilla kernel (ie 2.6.0-1).  I have missing symbols and
 2.6.0-1-k7 as the kernel

Mine was from kernel.org, but I used make-kpkg to create a debian
package. If I have the time, I usually prefer to compile my own kernels.

 Ok, I have done this for each cd with:

 Everything in /etc/apt/sources.list seemed fine.
 So I tried to do the install:
 
 apt-get update
 apt-get install pagage
 
 Now apt asks for the cd to be inserted in /cdrom/ (remeber I am using

 I don't have a cd burner, so how can I get apt-get install to see the

mount them at /cdrom? Of course, it'll be one at a time, but it's better

 I have a small LAN in my home. I need some advice on tuning it. 
 
 I've started working on a project wherein I move large files (3GB)

 sure that it goes as fast as is reasonable. I think all my LAN cards
 are claimed by their makers to be 10/100, but for some this might be
 marketing hype. All my cables are 'CAT5'. So, some questions:
 
 How do I determine whether my lan is passing data at 10 or 100 MHz?

It is not measured in megahertz, but rather megabits (not megabytes,
which is a little misleading)

 If I find it is 10MHz, what can I do to find which hardware needs
 upgrading to make it work at 100MHz? 
 
 Are there software diagnostic tools that would help me with this?
 Package names?

If you are running a recent version (testing/unstable) of ssh, you can
try 'scp file.here otherhost:file.there' and it will tell you how fast
it is transferring. About 1-1.5 megabytes per second is good for a 100
megabit link. If it is substantialy less, its probabyl running at 10
megabits.

 Well, on this P4 2.53ghz, i regularly see 10.5 meg per second from a
 similar host, even the celeron 533's around here can usually manage
 3-4.
 
 No gigabit here to see how fast it _could_ go, cpu usage is pegged at
 about 65%, so I'd guess about 13-14 meg per second with the default
 encryption.  Does about 30% cpu usage with blowfish.

Heh, should probably mention that my numbers are from transferring from
a 233mhz P2 to a 900mhz AMD T-Bird. I guess the P2 was probably pegged

 That way you can have up to 11 devices (4 IDE and 7 SCSI).

provide a valid email address. Please fix that as well.

 Reading Package Lists... Done
 Building Dependency Tree... Done
 Package alsa-modules has no available version, but exists in the
 database. This typically means that the package was mentioned in a
 dependency and never uploaded, has been obsoleted or is not available
 with the contents of sources.list

apt-cache search alsa-modules

Pick the one that matches your kernel version. If none exists, you must
compile your own from alsa-source using make-kpkg. It's not very hard,
read the docs in /usr/share/doc/alsa-source

 I can't compile from source. Hardware is VERY flakey. *searches for 
 mythical alas-modules*

If there doesn't exist a package for your kernel, my suggestion would be
to get a newer/different kernel as well. It seems there is a modules
package for every architecture for 2.4.22, so I would go for that.

 The TZ is off though, for some reason (the windowmaker clock applet 
 shows correct time though)

Which TZ? The one in the kernel information? Thats all info pertaining
to the computer that built the kernel.
