Need some help ???
I am in need of some help on not wanting some packages to be removed when I try using either apt-get install (package name), or using Synaptic...They both want to remove alot of packages that I do not want to do a total of 512... At one time I had this very same problem, I had mentioned it to one of my debian user friends, he had told me to edit out the packages in a certain script, which did eliminate this problem, but since that time I have forgotten where it was located, or what it was called...??? He also does not remember at this time... So might anyone know what I need to do to eliminate the wanting of synaptic, or apt-get to want to remove a bunch of files...??? Any help on this would be very much appreciated... Thanks Larry -- Powered by Debian/GNU/Linux by Libranet ver 3.0 73 de Larry/wd9esu "This is Linux Country, on a quiet night you can hear WINDOZE !

Error with dpkg...???
Not sure if anyone else has had this problem, but here's what I am now getting when I use synaptic to install a package... /var/lib/dpkg/status near line 2873 package wine-utils missing version... According to synaptic of installed packages, I do not have 'wine-utils' installed, but at one time I know that I did, so it must have been removed when I install some other package... Does anyone on the list know how I can correct the problem, so that I can install wine-utils, or for that matter any other program, for with this error, I can not install any new packages... Thanks for any help anyone can offer...

Burning CD Revisited
Ok everyone I am back, with a problem on burning a CD... All though I did finally burn one, but when I looked at the CD it did not have all of the subdirectorys for which I need... So with, that I used a new CD, now I have been having one heck of a time trying to burn another one, using Xcdroaster... I have made a directory as root, /root/tmp/my_cdrom I have used Master Tracks tab, choose the master source /home/wd9esu/jnos, then clicked add, which it put the path in the Session view... From that point I used the ISO9660 option tab, these are the ones that I have selected, Rock Ridge, Allow 20 character iso-filenames, Do not use deep directory relocation, Joliet extension, <---I have even tried using un checked, Allow ISO-files with a starting period... Under the tab Boot options, I have checked El Torito...So it all so wants the path for the Boot image & catalog, here is what I think I am missing, it is the boot image, so how and where can I get the boot image from the hard drive and if so what is the name used for it...??? Also the /boot/catalog where do I get that from...??? One more thing when I use Calculate size, it says at the end, mkisofs: Uh Oh, I can't find the boot catalog directory... I am now hoping that this is what I need, the boot image & the catalog, so if there is anyone that is using Xcdroaster and has success in using it please stand up, and let me hear how one needs to set it up once and for all... Thanks to everyone who tried last time...

You may have swapped drives, but did the other computer have Linux on it or WINDOZE!...I could see if one had another computer with Linux on it, and was setup for using GRUB!, but this computer is totally new...With the exception of the 120gb HD that I have swapped out from the BAD computer... So at this point I am at a loss as to how I can boot up using my system disk for linux, and get to a prompt...If I could then I would be able to fix XF86Config-4, and add grub... As I said, it boots ok, but I end up with a BLANK BLACK screen...I get no prompt, can not change to any of the consoles etc... Thanks for alteast trying to help me out here...

Help needed...
I am in need of some help, and I will try and explain as to what has happened here... First, I had a computer which was working using a 120gb HD running Debian, the computer then after about 15 min's would shutdown on it's own...This keeped on happening and I mentioned to the techs where I bought it that the power supply just might be bad by over heating...So they sent me a new one, it did the same thing again, bummer...I then used a 4 inch muffin fan blowing on the board, it would then stay up running for days...So there was something on the board that was over heating...They sent me another computer to replace the one that was bad, I removed the 120gb HD and installed it in the new computer... Second, now when I bootup in Linux, it boots up just fine to a point, meaning after the bootup has completed, I then get a BLANK BLACK SCREEN, with no text etc... Third, I can not at this point change to any of the console screen, so by not being able to actually see what is going on, I am not sure if the system is locked up or what... Fourth, I think it is because of the XF86Config-4 configuration, which was setup using a different setup on the bad computer, it now will not work on the new one... Fifth, since I still have the bad computer here, I can change out the HD, put it in the new one , it will then work, but NOT in the brand new one...??? Sixth, Has any one swapped out a hard drive, and had this same problem, if you have could you please let me know how or what you did to get it to work...??? I think it is n my /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 script, but I can not get to it to try and edit it... Any help on this issue would be appreciated...

You might think about purchasing a Modem with jumper settings, that way you
can setup your modem to use a different IRQ/IO...Modem Blaster 56II works
just fine, just make sure you open the box to make sure that it does infact
have selectable jumpers for IRQ & IO for Com1, 2, 3, 4...

APT-GET is the GREATEST !!
Hi Jaye, I just wanted to comment on how well the Debian, APT TEAM did on there package handling utility...It is the slickest program that I have run so far, and without any glitches I might add...They did a great job I have to admit... I ran update, upgrade, which took quite a few hours to upgrade, then I installed four new packages that I wanted, minicom, joe, apache & junkbuster, it configured them all without any help from me... Thought I'd mention this to you, and everyone on the list... 73 de Larry Shields WD9ESU AMPRnet: wd9esu.ampr.org IPaddr 44.92.0.60 BBS E-Mail: wd9esu@ wd9esu.ampr.org E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ:6221703
Help STILL! Needed on BocaBoard BB1008
Hello to all, Well I thought that after I had my serial.conf script configured correctly, so the BocaBoard would be dected, which it is now seeing, I thought that maybe since it would not connect to my TNC's "data Controllers" for Packet, that the problem maybe the baud rate between the computer and the tnc... So I changed it from 115200 too 9600, yet I still can not connect up to my data controllers... Now John N8UR, sent a reply back on the 18th of this month, saying that he has been using the same board for years, and that it worked like a charm, if this is true, then John what else did you have to do to get the BocaBoard to make a connection to your TNC's...I'd like to hear about it if you would please explain it in more detail...??? At this point, I am in need of help on this, so if anyone can come up with any ideas, or have a BocaBoard BB1008, that is working, I'd definitely like to hear from you... My last resort, if I can not get it to work, then I suppose I will have to send it back... Thanks to anyone for help that you maybe able to offer...

Boca Board BB1008..???
Hello all, Just a quick question, has anyone purchased a 'Boca Board BB1008', it is an 8-port serial board, and have you had success in getting it running under say Debian/Linux 2.2.5 Potato... If you have I'd appreciate in hearing what is needed for it to work, or if it will not work... I have uncommented in the serial.conf script, ttyS16 through ttyS23, and where it says /dev/ttyS16 set_multiport port1 0x107 0xff match1 0... Now upon rebooting it does not seem to configure these ports correctly, any help would be appreicated... Thanks...

Help with TKDESK FIXED!!!
Thanks for the replys back concerning the problem that I had with TKDESK not working correctly... What I did was point the mouse to the bookshelf and clicked on the RIGHT mouse button and it brought up some options, where I found File browser, then I clicked it, and brought up the full TKDESK top, with all of the menus showing TKDESK, DIRECTORY, COMMAND, BOOKMARK and OPTIONS, with three columns... Then I save it as it was, then exited the program and then tried it again, it came up just picture perfect... Thanks to those who had replied...

Help with TKDESK...
I must have messed up something using TKDESK, when I start it up a small screen apears showing the name TKDESK and at the bottom of the tkdesk screen you can see that it is loading all of the files needed...Then it puts the small ICONS in the lefthand side of the main screen in the vertical position, then the main program comes up with three columns and the menus at the top... But now for some reason it does everthing in the above except, that the main TKDEST screen showing the three columns doesn't come up in the main screen...Does anyone have an idea of what I need to do to bring the tkdesk back to the full screen...??? I'd appreicate any help, thanks in advance...

Fw: Mitsumi FX001D CD-ROM drv. Need help...
This is my second request for HELP! with a FX001D Mitsumi CD-ROM drive, mabe this time I will catch the right person or users that can help me out here... I am hopeing that someone that also has a CD-ROM drive the FX001D can help me out here, in configuring the cd-rom drive, so that when at bootup it will be mounted... If I boot right from the linux floppy disk, when it gets to the point of mounting my CD-ROM drive I get this: MCD=0X360,11: init Failed. No mcd device at 0x360 irq 11 But if I let the system boot up using MSDOS, it then loads everything encluding my cd-rom drive, then once I get the msdos prompt, I insert the Bootable linux disk into the floppy drive, and do a soft reboot CTRL-ALT-DEL and then it boots up using the Linux floppy... When it gets to the point of loading of the cd-rom drive it then loads in and shows this: MCD=0X360,11: Mitsumi Status type and version: 10 D 2 Double Speed CD ROM Does this mean that when I am asked when installing Debian Modules select Category for cdrom driversthat when it shows the different types like sony, etc, and mcd or MCDX, that it is looking for mcd=0x360,11 10 D 2??? With this info how can I have it mounted upon booting up Linux, in the FSTAB file, meaning the correct way to type it in fro a MCD type CDROM drive... I have printed out HOW-TO CDROM and it is listed as this for my CD-ROM drive... Loadable module support: YES Device: /dev/mcd, major 23 Configuration file: mcd.h Kernel Config option: Standard Mitsumi CDROM Support ? README file: MCDThis file I have not found This driver accepts a kernel command line of the form: mcd=, This I allready know what the I/O and IRQ is mcd=0x360,11 but it is needing something else for it to work right... Here is what the cdrom howto mentioned.. Specifying the I/O base address of the card 0x340 and the irq request number used. The device file can be created using: # mknod /dev/mcd b 23 0I have done this and it says that it allready exists, this is because I booted up from dos, then did an CTRL-ALT-DEL and then it was mounted upon booting up from my linux boot disk... I would like any info on how to do it correctly so that when I boot directly from my bootdisk that the cdrom drive will work... Also I would like someone to show me the correct way of editing my FSTAB file using the /dev/mcd since I have tried three different ways and have had no luck in doing so... Thanks for any help that you can pass on to me I would appreicate it...

Correction to my first msg...
I ment to say that I've installed X11R6 and not XF86Free, plus I am not sure which is better or can one have both of these installed... Thanks... Larry Shields WD9ESU AX25: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [IPGWWI] AMPRnet: wd9esu.ampr.org IPaddr: 44.92.0.60 ICQ# 6221703 JNOS 1.11C -- TCPIP/TELNET/FTP ==
Question
I have XF86 up and running to a point, I might add, as in root I startx , and it brings up the screen with the ICON's at the bottom...Clock, Load, Xterm, Files, Editor,Xcalc, Xview, Qview, Netscape, Kill, and Desktop... Now the only ones that work are Xcalc, Xterm and Clock, if I remember right... When I click "Files" it doesn't change or do anything, the same wih the others, am I missing something here...??? I must be for none of them really work by clicking on these Icons...I know I have to get Netscape so that much I do know, but the rest I am puzzled as to why they do not work... I have a Linux Complete Reference put out by Caldera, which I got out of the library, and it shows pictures of what the Caldera desktop looks like, and it is very much like Windows 95...One can click on the File menu and it shows this, change directory, retype directory, close, Infomation, Print, Open, Remove, Copy, Move, Link and Change Properties... I have installed XF86 and thought that once it was installed most of the samething would be like what I have mentioned in the above... I purchased Debian which came with 7/CD's, and the Debian Linux Users Guide, which doesn't explain very much in detail... I am all so new to LINUX, as you can tell, but I would like somone to try and explain to me what I need to do to get XF86 up and ruuning once I startx, and at the main screen to have these Icons that are shown to work or what other packages does one have to install, for it to have the look and feel of say WIN95... It sure would be nice to be able to open a folder, copy files, create files etc, instead of having to type every command to do this or that... Thanks for any help that someone can pass onto me...

XF86SETUP Help needed...
I know that this question has been asked before, but since I am a new user of Debian, I need some help on setting yp XF86... Now I started the XF86Setup prg., and went thru each one of the menus, from the mouse, keyboard, which I chose 102, instead of the 101 type, then to my Video card, which is an OAK, and in the list it had OAK Generic, and used that, the card is a OTI-067/077 model...Then onto the monitor which as a Horizontal freq., of 30-60khz, the vertical is 50-90hz, and what little info thats in the manual that the Max resolution is 1024X768... I have tried different settings 640X480 mode using 8bpp, even 16bpp and 1024x768 settings with SVGA to just plain VGA-16, I've gone thru all and when I click the done, it then, takes the info that I have provided and restarts it backup... Then when I save the configuration, I then am returned to root, from there I tried many times to startx, and I get this: xinit: Connection refused (error 111) unable to connect to X server xinit: No such process (error 3): Server error... Is there anyone that maybe able to explain to me what I need to do to get it up and running correctly, I would appreicate in hearing from anyone concerning this issue...Since I have tried all of the different settings, I am at a loss as to what is needed to fix my problem...
