Re: Serial ATA-Controller SIL 3112 wird nicht erkannt
Hallo Ulrich, ich habe mir einen neuen Rechner gegönnt. Der Festplattencoroller - von Siilicon Image SIL 3112 SATARAID - wird leider von der Woodystart-CD nicht unterstützt. Da keine Platte gefunden wird, kann ich auch keine Module einbinden. Meine Versuche mit Red Hat und SUSE waren positiv, der controller wurde gleich erkannt und das Linux wurde einwandfrei installiert. Läuft der denn bei SuSE auch mit DMA? Ich kriege nur Pio hin. Naja, ich würde aber gerne bei Debian bleiben. Was kann ich tun? Wo gibt es den Treiber? Also viel kann ich Dir leider auch nicht dazu sagen. Die aktuellen patches (ich glaube ab Kernel 2.4.19) von Alan Cox unterstützen, soweit ich das richtig verstehe den Controller. Nur ist es mit nicht gelungen einen bootbaren gepatchten Kernel zu kompilieren. Muss ich wohl noch etwas üben.

ctrl key functionality gone missing
I've noticed a fair bit of traffic on this general topic, so hopefully the answer to this springs right to mind.. I've a debian potato install that was recently upgraded to use the 2.4.x kernel line. I essentially upgraded Debian itself and my Ximian desktop at the same time, using the bunk packages and whatever Ximian's current gnome is. Since doing this I can no longer use the CTRL key in all X applications. I originally believed that it wouldn't work in any X application but realized after examining xmodmap, and testing (by running xev) that it was a selected few applications that didn't work. Where can I begin, to correct this anomaly? Regards, Marc.
swapfiles 512MB+ RAM?
With the price of RAM being what it is, I recently upgraded my potato box to by 512MB ram. So I now have roughly 640MB RAM with a 256MB swapfile. Now that I have this much physical memory I was wondering if I could drop the swapfile altogether and reclaim some HD space for filesystem use. I'd appreciate any pro's and con's.. Thanks! Marc.

Debian and Kylix open edition
I wondered - has anyone has made any attempt at installing the freebie Kylix IDE? According to the PREINSTALL readme, all distro's should be able to run it though only a few specific ones are auto configured (patched?)- a feature not present for Debian. But then it says that A bug in some versions of the glibc loader can cause data corruption during the dynamic loading and unloading of shared objects..snipSystems which cannot upgrade to glibc 2.2 require a patched version of glibc 2.1.2 or later. According to the test script included, everything else required I need is present so I should be able to run Kylix if I get/apply the patch. Can someone please point me to what I need. Thanks, Marc.
allowing users to mount smbfs
Hello again everyone. I'm trying to configure my potato box such that any user can mount/unmount the share(s) on an NT box I have. Naturally when I say any, I mean any user who also exists on that NT box. Keep in mind that I'm not trying to make shares available to others from my potato box; for that I have samba installed. It's been explained to me that to do this I need simply go root, and add a reference for this share to fstab. Once this is done then any user can mount /mountpoint, enter their p/w and it will be mounted for that user session. Well I've made the entry as best as I understand, but am having a peculiar problem for which I ask everyone's help to solve. I would like to have this behave the same way for all users so I've chosen to make the mount point /mnt/ntbox. Here is what I tried adding to fstab: //ntbox/share /mnt/ntbox smbfs defaults,rw,user,noauto 0 0 (without the quotes, natch!) So I then open a terminal and try mount /mnt/ntbox; I'm prompted for my password which I enter. But the process fails with: cannot mount /mnt/ntbox: Operation not permitted smbmnt failed: 1 But: If I change the reference mountpoint to /home/user/somedir and repeat the attempt at a terminal, mount /home/user/somedir it works fine. What am I doing wrong? Thanks! Marc.
CVS environment constants
Hello again. Just wondering if there is a standard way to store the cvs constants (e.g. CVS_RSH) such that terminals automagically see them when opened. I'm using one of three terms with eterm as my favorite, so the solution would hopefully be a one-step which would be used by all (the terminal that it). Of course I'm always open to someone directing me to the correct spot in the man pages, but I find the cvs man a little confusing since I'm not quite familiar with it yet.. Thanks in advance.. Marc.
Streamed Audio application - great opportunity
Well this sounds like an opportunity knocking, how about that new ogg-vorbiss format? This would be a great chance to avoid those mp3 royalties and I doubt it would take much to write a plug-in for something like winamp or whatever. Maybe even make the plugin available at the broadcaster's site... Just a thought anyway. Marc.

X 4.0 on potato - Now get Fatal error
Hi. It seems that I've finally managed to get X 4.03 onto my Debian potato box (ie: all the links/files/directories appear to be present and correct); but configuration must still be wrong. After the install was completed I initially ran xf86config but have also tried xf86cfg and X --configure saving the output XF86Config-4 separately and named slightly differently. After examining each of the XF86Config-4 that were produced I can find little difference from one to the other, though I did have to correct each because the mouse would not detect automatically and needed to be changed over to use /dev/psaux in place of /dev/mouse. I then progressively renamed one of the three output files to XF86Config-4 and tried startx; and in all three cases had the same results. X simply won't start - it aborts and creates a log file. As all my XF86Config-4 were all the same I've chosen an arbitrary one to send along for list member to examine. I've also attached the log output from trying to startx with that config file. Does anyone see anything out of whack? Is there anything obviously wrong with my config? I've gone over the log and can't even tell where the process dies, all I can see is that there is a signal 11 but I've not been able to find out why/where. I also tried to find a list of possible error messages/error states but can't seem to find any such listing anywhere in the man or on the web. The only parts that I know seem wrong somehow are the errors mentioning the font(s) paths; those are valid paths and do lead to the expected directories. Thanks for lending me your brains, Marc.

XFree 4, potato and Ximian-gnome
Hello again.. After two weeks of trying to upgrade from X 3.3 to X 4.x I've finally reached my patience limit. Despite a fair bit of help and advice from a number of list members (thanks everyone!) I've been unable to successfully achieve my goal. I figure one last shot and then I'll move to woody, or.. well I'm not sure what. ;-) 1. Has anyone on this list succesfully upgraded a potato box which is running Ximian gnome to X 4.x? 2. If after I complete all the steps that have been outlined time and time again but am still missing the actual XFree86 file (to which those symlinks eventually lead), what does that suggest? Marc.

Re: Re: ascii formatting package
Let me throw my $0.02 cents in. Rather than using whitespace to delineate those elements, for the little extra effort involved in coding it might be worthwhile to use some non-standard (for ascii that it) characters. That way you could do some consistency/error/ *whatever* checking.. Then again, perl IS made specifically for text parsing is it not? Maybe a combination of... Marc.

If you adopted formatting guidelines for the ascii text (for example, one blank line is a paragraph, two is a section, three is a chapter, text after an underscore is underlined, etc.) it wouldn't be too hard to write a script in Python or Perl to convert it to docbook; the docbook could then be converted to pdf using any of several tools; alternatively there is a Python library that can generate PDF files directly, so you could write a Python script to generate the PDF directly from the ascii text.
Trying for X 4.0 on potato - again
Wow, seems like I'm alone in the problems I'm having with this- hopefully someone might recognize an answer to one of these.. To rehash the problem, I'm running potato, and want to update X from 3.3 to 4.0.: 1. Why would a deb be unrecognized as valid prior to a apt-get dist-upgrade, but be valid after? 2. Which unstable sources would I need to unremark to get the testing debs for X 4 ? 2a. Are those testing debs the same as the ones Brendan has made available? 3. What conditions would cause the server to prompt Waiting for X server to begin accepting connections ? Thanks again.. Marc.
X win sys 4.x and potato
Hi folks. I'm running an install of potato that I want to upgrade to the 4.0 version of X. Someone pointed me to the debs put together by Branden and I've been struggling with this ever since. After scouring the archives I've found a few answers which have moved me ahead somewhat, but I'm now totally stuck. I now get no actual errors and everything appears to be where it is expected to be but X fails to start correctly. More accurately, from the CLI when I startx the server seems to start but gives me a message Waiting for X server to begin accepting connections. It will sit like that for as long as my patience holds out and I don't ctrl-break.. A quick recap of what I've done: 1. Added deb http://people.debian.org/%7Ecpbotha/ xf403_potato/i386/ and ...xf403_potato/all/ to my sources list. 2. Did an apt-get update 3. Did an apt-get dist-upgrade 4. Downloaded and installed (using dpkg) the libfreetype6 debs (also from Branden). 5. Did an apt-get xbase-clients (resolves dependency issue?) 6. Created the symlink /etc/X11/X pointing to /usr/bin/X11/Xfree86. (I don't understand why I would create a symlink to a symlink instead of linking directly but there it is, and that's what I've done.) 7. ran xf86config, and even tried xfree86cfg - successfully created the XF86Config-4 file. I even tried to install those libfreetype6 packages before doing the dist-upgrade so as to head off the dependency issues. Strangely, the libfreetype6 debs aren't seen as valid debs until AFTER I've done the dist-upgrade, at which point I understand that I must go back and do step#5 (see above). Thanks, Marc.
