Can't run (Gnu)Clisp,Mclclim,and clsip-module-clx
HIi: I am running Debian testing with Linux Debian kernel 3.12.1-amd64.I am a newbie as far as lisp is concerned. I have installed the packages but done any further configuration.(require asdf) does not appear to work even though I put a link from /usr/share/common-lisp/source to .local/share/common-lisp/source; but it work if I have the file asdf.lisp in the .local/share/common-lisp/source directory. Though the documentation of clisp says it has been compiled with clx.I can't run any of the demos; when I try to run clisp -i clx-demos there is an error message saying it can't load XLIB package.I was successful with sbcl in running the mcclim examples but not with gnu clisp. (require 'asdf) worked without the link,so I presue hte link is not necessary. What am I doing wrong?Any suggestions?where is the xlib package in clisp? Sebastian

Password promlem with home wifi
Hi: I have a home wifi which has been working well for the past three years or so. There is a Verizon router on the ESSID and the WEP key is also written down clearly. This has been working well both with Debian stable and unstable (aptosid) which I have on different disks. The wireless card is Intel and requires iwl4965 which I have down loaded and done modprobe -r iwlwifi etc so that it worked. Recently I came into some problem with grub and I had to reconfigure the wireless interface. I have come to the stage using wicd to have the interface recognized but it does not accept the password. I can make the text of the password visible so that I know what I am inputting, and in any case, there are Windows machines and Macs which use the same router which are working fine, So the problem seems to do with my Linux ,machine;both stable and unstable don't seem to recognize the password, though I can verify that it is the old one which worked for so long.Has anybody any clue as to what might behappening. When I configure it , it clearly says bad password. In fact it keeps retrying and asks for the key every five minutes or so.I 'd be grateful for any suggestions ad to how to debug this problem. Sebastian Canagaratna.
No.cursor on the Gnome Terminal. in Wheezy
Just two days ago (10th June 2013)I changed from the amd64 version to the 486 version mainly because the acrobat reader is not functional in the 64 but version. But now I find that the gnome terminal does not function: the background is dark and perhaps the cursor is also dark, but I don't know as yet how to change the colors The x-terminal is functioning OK and everything else is OK.Has anyone come across this behaviour? I'd be interested in someone telling me how to debug this. Thanks Sebastian Canagaratna
Re: Grub2 gives error :File not found and goes into rescue mode
Success!. Thank you, Gary. I downloaded the 64 bit verison of the boot repair disk and it works; the 32 bit version did not. Somehow the MBR seems to have gone out of sync with grubsdevices. It looks as if, especially when you chroot to a mountpoint this can happen. If root is mounted on /mnt I think one has to do the following: mount /proc .mnt/proc mount /run /mnt/run mount /sys /mnt/sys mount /dev /mnt/dev mount /dev/pts /mnt/ded/pts before doing chroot. I am not sure of this but I found this in the aptosid manual. Somewhere along the line I did a chroot without this and this may have been the problem, but I am npot sure.

Burn a disk, stuff it in your CD/DVD player, reboot your system and sit back and watch the wheels turn. Punch the Repair button when presented. Remove the disk and reboot. Your done. This is supposed to work for a range of boot loaders. Great package. Gary R.

Re: Grub2 gives error :File not found and goes into rescue mode
Further to the questions I raised, I downloaded supergrub2 and I was able to access the system.However, after starting 3.9.3.slh-1 and running update-grub and grub-install /dev/sda0 ( the installation finished. No error reported) still, on rebooting, come to the same error of file not found and getting into grub rescue mode. I downloaded bootinfoscript and ran it to get the bootinfo which I give below.There is only one peculiarity . It says v.1.99 is installed but my grub2 id 2.00-14. Though I ran grub-install again which said Installation finished. no error reported , I ran bootinfoscript again and the version of grub is 1.99. Though I came to operating system through supergrub as far as I can see the system is under the control of my operating system. Can somebody clarify how version 1.99 of grub is installed when the grub2 on my system is 2.00-14. Will I have to blank out my MBR and start all over again.

Re: Grub2 gives error :File not found and goes into rescue mode
Thank uou Frank and Klaus. As you surmised, it was a typo : I meant to say /dev/sda to be sure I repeated the grub-install and the version given by bootinfoscript if 1.99 though AI have 2.00-14. When I use grub rescue and type set prefixs=(hd1,msdos1)/boot/grub and then root=(hd1,msdos1) and insmod normal it gives unknown file system error.

Re: Grub2 gives error :File not found and goes into rescue mode
Hi Igor: The Computer was bootoing off the mbr, though I think I made the vista partition /dev/sda1 the debian stable partition /de v/sda2 as well as the debian unsable partition /dev/sdb2 bootable. This happened when I was upgrading from 3.8.10-slh-aptosid-686 to the the 3.9-2.slh.1 verdion. The latter must be OK because when I boot from the suoer grub disk everything is OK. Either the MBR is damaged ( when I grub install into /dev/sda eveything is sussessful and no error message is reported or there must be a bug in the version of grub which comes with the latest distribtion. As I said earlier, I blanked out the first 512 sectors of /dev/sda and no error is reported whenI grub-install.There is no /etc/grub in debian aptosid. all the files reside is /boot/grub. grub.gfg is here. I di d a grub-update and I verified that the UUID,s were fine, Grub is not finding a file, because the path has presumably got messed up. Afre ther any log files to llok at?

Problems with MG5320 solved
Hi: I have now solved the problems I had with Canon Pixma MG5320. The problem I had was because I was using the ipp protocol. Canon has its own protocol cnijnet which I think comes with the drivers from Canon Ireland; however I had problems with their driver MG5320.ppd, and I had to use the one that comes with cups (unstable). The precise device uri to use can be got by using sudo /usr/sbin/lpinfo -v, and selecting the one which goes with the cjinet. It goes something like cjinet:/88-87- etc, the number coming from the MAC address. Then I used sudo /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p MG5320 -m canonmg5300series.ppd -v cjinet:/88-87--etc and everything is OK now. Sebastian

Achemso package and bibtex for J. Chem. Eng. Data
Hi: I am using Debian unstable (aptosid) with the latest texlive. I am
having the following problems.
When I use the texlive version of the achemso package, the command
\plainref is not defined. When I use the achemso package got from ACS in
my own home directory, ( I guess this is read first ) there is no
problem. Does this mean that the ctan packages are not updated?
A more serious difficulty is that the heading for the references comes
out as Notes and References instead of Literature Cited, which is the
form accepted by J. Chem. and Eng. Data. The same problem arises when I
latex the achemso-demo-tex file.
In the documentclass line I have
\documentclass[journal=jceaax, manuscript=article]{achemso}
The support at acs remarked that the cupported version of TEx for
paragon plus is version 2.02 or earlier. I presume this is version of
latex. Could his be a possible reason? in any case, when I type latex
-version, I get pdfTeX 3.1415926-1.40.10-2.2, so I am unable to get the
latex version.
I'd appreciate any hints about correcting the problem.
Thanks.

Thanks for any info or pointers, etc. Dennis Yes, I recently bought a Dell Inspiron 1720 with Vista and I am running both Vista and Linux (Lenny, Testing). I booted from a cdrom with netinstall and reformatted the hard-drive, with Vista in the first partition. I had igrub installed on the Linux partition. I found I couldn't boot Vista, so I had to reformat the Vista partition with the disks that came with Dell and reinstalled Vista. I went back to Linux (I forget whether I did with a Knoppix cdrom or with the netinstall) and made only the linux partition bootable. Thereafter everything was OK. I am afraid I didn't take down notes, but the main point is that it can be done. There may be an easier way to do what I did. Good Luck.

Intel PRO 3945 wireless in testing
Hi: Thanks to all who sent in suggestions. I installed in addition to the driver module the firmware and the ipw3945d in contrib.

Intel PRO 3945 wireless in testing

Re: Help with NTFS FAT32
I have /dev/sda3 as a ntfs partition and I can mount it with mount -t ntfs /dev/sda3 /ntfs, where I have directory /ntfs for mounting the ntfs partition.

You'll need to edit your /etc/fstab to include the line: /dev/hda9 /media/dos vfatnoauto,users0 0 The first bit (/media/hda9) is just a wild guess on my part: It identifies the partition on your hard disk - you should change this according to your own partitioning. The second bit (/media/dos) is where you want the files to appear - this should point to an empty directory. For users to use the partition, all they need to do is to mount it first, e.g.: fred$ mount /media/dos I suspect NTFS can be take care of in the same way, but I've never used it myself. YMMV.

Xemacs-21.4.19 and Tex-output-view style
Hi:
According to the documentation, if there are tex files which use
pstricks, pst- modules or psfrag viewing should automatically produce
the .ps file and call gv for display. Similarly, if pdflatex is run,
the view should bring up xpdf. This seems to work for some files,
e.g. pst-circ-doc.tex which comes with pst-circ package but not with
test-pst.tex. A file that I produced myself also just calls up xdvi
instead of dvips, though I am using \usepackage{pstricks} etc. What
is the trick here?
Thanks.

Re: [tex-live] windvi, gsftopk.exe problems with TeXLive2005
Thanks for your comments Fabrice. Perhaps there is a misunderstanding on my part. The latex version that I have installed is the one that is automatically installed by texlive, and I thought that was derived from xemtex. I did not specifically install xemtex. There is nothing in the documentaion of tex-live which refers to any incompatibility of the windows verision of tex that is automatically installed.

Re: Grub and linux-source-2.6.12
Thanks to all who replied. I had realized that perhaps the drivers for the ide-disks were as modules, and so I did compile into the kernel. What I forgot to check was that e2fs was also as a module.

This sounds suspiciously like you have missed out something from your compiled kernel which means that it cannot boot from your root partition. As you have pointed, many precompiled kernels use initrd. Typically, the initrd will include support for booting your root filesystem such as disk drivers (SCSI, SATA etc.) and the filesystem support (e.g. ext3). If you used the precompiled config for your kernel but aren't making an initrd, then the filesystem and disk driver support will have been built as *modules* unless you changed this during kernel configuration: this won't work, since the kernel cannot load modules until the root filesystem is accessed. Check that you have your disk support and ext3 (or whatever) compiled into the kernel, and not built as modules.

Tetex in unstable: fmtutil.cnf not found.
Hi: I am using unstable, and I upgraded yesterday on my home machine and the installation of the tetex psckages went fine, but I could not run texconfig: I got the error message that fmtutil.cnf could not be found. kpsewhich / fmtutil.cnf could not find it. dpkg-reconfigure tetex bin didnot correct it either: it creates files in /var/lib/texmf. When I do kpsewhich / ls-R it shows ls -R in /ust/share/texmf/web2c. I had not, as far as I am aware changed anything from the debian installation files. So this results seems puzzling, since it was working before the upgrade. What I did was to rename the web2c directory in /usr/share/texmf and link it to the web2c in /var/lib/texmf. Now it works. CLearly something is wrong. Can someone help me out here, because as I understand it, since VARTEXMF is before TEXMFMAIN in texmf.cnf in /etc/texmf/ the documentation suggests that THe one in VARTEXMF should take precendence.

Booting Problem SATA large disk
Hi: I am running unstable Debian with Linux 2.6.6. kernel. My computer is a Gateway computer with a large (160GB) disk with SATA controller. I have Windows XP on hda1, and linux on hda2, with partitions hda3,5,6 etc for home, usr, var, etc. I had problems installing Linux on the hard drive because of the SATA drive. Knoppix seemed to boot up, and with the help of that I managed to install 2.6.0-test9 kernel. The Hard drive seemed to be changed to sdb, with Linux on the sdb2 partition. The 750 MB Iomega zip was recognized as sda. The dvd rom was recognized as sr0. I changed the /etc/fstab to these values and managed to make a bootdisk with syslinux; I do not remember precisely what I did, but I presume I used Knoppid. It boots up only when I do not give any parameters at the boot prompt. If I attempt to give root=/dev/sdb2, it goes into kernel panic. This is able to boot up, but I am unable to dual-boot from Windows: it just hangs. I recently thought I would install the 2.6.6. kernel. They recommend that the cd use hte ide-cd rather than the scsi and I built the kernel accordingly. I used syslinux to make a boot disk, but this goes into kernel panic, wanting a valid root= paramter. No parameter seems to work. I have tried, lilo and grub and all of them do the same thing. I presume this has something to do with the fact that to the bios the disk is hda, and when the scsi SATA is used in 2.6.6 this is changed. Any suggestions as to how to proceed will be appreciated.

Help! kernels with hde2 and sdb2 as root devices.
Hi: I have the following problem. I am using a Gateway 700CX with a 160 GB Maxtor ATA hard drive which uses SATA. I found that I could get the hard drive recognized only with Knoppix 3.3, and I used knx-hdinstall to install sid on the hard drives which are recognized as hde. The cd rom is recognized as sr0 and the Iomega zip drive (750 MB) is recognized as sda. (Initially they are recognized as hda (zip drive) hdb (maxtor) and hdc (cdrom) and then they are reassigned. I was using 2.4.22 kernel but the Zip drive is not recognized consistently, with error messages like: hdd: DMA interrupt recovery hdd: lost inerrrupt ide-scsi: The scsi wants to send us more data than expected - discarding data Occasionally it reads the drive but most of the time the zip drive is useless. So I thought I would try kernel 2.6.0-test9. I compiled the SCSI SATA into the kernel. I made a bzdisk. Now the Maxtor drive is recognized as sdb, but it fails to boot giving a kernel panic that root drive cannot be found. (Remember that I am compiling the kernel 2.6.0 when I am running 2.4.22 with /dev/hde2 as my root drive). Running rdev /dev/fd0 gives 0x3def. Trying to change it with rdev /dev/fd0 /dev/sdb2 gives a disk that will not boot. When I try to change the root= to /dev/sdb2 in lilo.conf and run lilo I get an error message saying that there is no such drive. Is it possible to change from one kernel to another if the root drive is being changed from /dev/hde2 to /dev/sdb2? Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks.

Re: Mounting Debian on SATA+Raid 0

Problem with umount/umount2
Hi: I am using Debian unstable with the kernel that came with Knoppix 3.3 which uses kernel 2.4.22-xfs. I have mounted /dev/hde6 as /usr, /dev/hde5 as /home and /dev/hde8 as /var. When I shutdown there is always a message from umount2 that /usr was busy etc, and when I reboot next time it always does the checking of /dev/hde6. The other drives appear to be unmounted cleanly. I run unstable on another machine with 2.4.8, but I do not have this same trouble; man umount does not refer to umount 2. On the Knoppix one, man umount does refer to umount2. I have read some complaints about this in the lists about umount2 (starrting from about 2001) but there does not appear to be any definitive answer. I wonder whether anyone here has a handle on what might be happening, and why only /usr should give this problem. Thanks for any suggestions.

Modem: LSR safety check engaged
Hi: I am using sarge with Linux 2.4.18 on Gateway 700X. This comes with a GTW V.92 soft modem which I am trying to get to work with my linux. Linux recognizes the existence of the card, but does not appear to be able to say on what port it is or what the uart is. I did a set serial and assigned it to ttyS2 with the IRQ and port given by linux and uart as 16550A. No dial tone comes up when I try to dial out. And there is a message: LSR safety check engaged. ANyone know what this means? ANybody successfully got this card to work with Linux? I tried ActionTEc's PCI 56K V92 Call Waiting modem, which is supposed to work with Linux; its existence is not recognized either by windows XP or by Linux. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Driver for Broadcom Voice Modem in Debian
Hi: I recently got a 700X Gateway computer with a GTW V.92 modem (BROADCOM). It had Windows XP but I was try also to install Debian (potato) and then upgrade to testing. I looked up google and Dell had put out a rpm driver for this but I was unable to convert this with alien. Has anyone any knowledge of a debian driver for this modem? Also, the Epson CS3200 printer is on a USB and there is an external ZIP disk also on USB. Both are not recognized by Linux. Even after O had succeeded in going from Linux 2.2.17 to 2.4.18, with USB support, these were not recognized and the HOWTO's don't mention any external IOMEGA ZIP drives. ANy hints?

ImageMagick's Display: Image Position

How to change screen-blanking time
Hi: Recently my machine (pentium, linux kernel 2.4.18, sarge), used used to blank after 5 min, suddenly stopped blanking. I looked around and found that I could set it with setterm -blank time. This presumable would have to be done everytime one booted. In any case, I found that when I rebooted the problem had vanished, but I would still like to know how one sets the blank time permanently in some file. Where is this information held?

Re: latex2e.fmt not found by xemacs
Thanks for the suggestion. It turns out that tetex-extra is installed. In any case, the thing is working now, I don't know why: perhaps because the machine was rebooted. I wouldn't have thought that after texconfig one would have to reboot the machine. It it troubling to find that xemacs does not automatically link latex2e to tex and link latex2e.fmt to latex.fmt since the tex.el requires this. Sebastian.

Help! Lilo Problems with NT and Debian Linux
Hi: I am running sid and kernel 2.4.8. I had copied /bootsect.lnx into c:\ so that I would be given a choice to boot into NT or linux. After I installed kernel 2.4.8 and I chose linux, I would get LI and the machine would hang up. So whenever I used to linux I had to boot from a floppy disk. I found in the /etc/lilo.conf that the first line was boot=/dev/sda2. The documentation gave me the impression that it should be /dev/sda. I thought this was the problem, so I changed to the line to read boot=/dev/sda, ran lilo, did dd if=/dev/sda2 of=/bootsect.lnx, bs=512 count=1. Now I find that when I boot up with no floppy disk, NT does not come up, instead it says it can't find a boot loader in the floppy, and it can't fint a boot load on the SCSI disk. Since I am not booting properly, I can't get into NT to copy the bootsect.lnx into C:\. I changed the line in lilo.conf back to boot=/dev/sda2, ran lilo, but I still have the same problem that I can't boot up into NT. Maybe the first line should be boot=/dev/sda and I should do dd if=/dev/sda of=/bootsect.lnx ? Any suggestion for safely recovering so that I can boot up into WIndows, and also chose linux from the menu rather than always use a floppy to boot into linux? Thanks.

Upgrade breaks browsers
Hi: I am running woody with kernel 2.4.17. I had apache and apache-ssl but the apache was for some reason not working. The versions was 1.3.19-1. I was connecting to the internet from my home through my isp. I was able to connect to the outside with my browsers, both http and ftp.

With netscape I get the message the the servers home.netscape.com home6.netscape.com and internic.net couold not be reached and that this would mean that some or all servers could not be reached. The message said that there was a problem with the name server, and to set the environment variable $SOCKS_NS$. I set this variable to a name server at my university but it did not work. Should I set this to the name server at my ISP (I do not know what this is). Why was this problem not present before? Or is there some other problem. dpkg -C shows that no packages are half-configured. Could the upgrade have removed some necessary package? How do I proceed?

XTerm not showing input
Hi: I recently installed the latest woody on my machine (133MHz Pentium, Imagine Number Nine I-128 card). I had an .xinitrc which was working fine before the new installation. Now, for some reason the XFree86 server does not work ( it complains about something in the I-128.o driver) and I have to run it with the SVGA server. WIth my original .xinitrc the cursor does not show up in the X terminal, and when I bring up Netscape, when I type in a URL it does not show up. WHen I took away my .xinitrc, the cursor shows up in the XTerm as a light gray box, and the typed in letters are also light gray. However, neither Netscape nor xfig accept input ( i.e., they don't show up on the screen). As far as I can see this must be some color problem, the input presumably being on the same solor as the background (white in this case) and therefore not showing up. Since X is running entirely with its own default settings, I am surprised at this behavior. In any case, I looked at the files in the app-defaults directory, and there don't appear anything that may be the cause of the problem. Any help would be appreciated.

Help! Printer prints only 1 PS page
Hi: I recently installed a Deskjet890C printer. When I latex a file using xemacs and send it to a networked printer, the postscript file prints fine. WHen I try the same thing on my local Deskjet890C only the 1st page prints. I am using Woody, and the filters I have tried are dj550c-filter and dj690c-filter. I presume that everything is OK with the posrt script file because it prints OK on the networked printer. Am I using the wrong filter or is there something else wrong? The gs version is 6.01 Thanks for any suggestions. -- Sebastian Canagaratna Department of Chemistry Ohio Northern University [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Formatting //dev/fd0 for bootdisk
I recently installed kernel 2.4.8 and the compilation went fine. To test it before actually changing from my previous version I did a dd if=bzImage of=/dev/fd0 bs=8192 using a Imation floppy 2.0MB, High density formatted with superformat /dev/fd0 hd On using this diskette to boot up, there is a failure. WHne I format the diskette with superformat /dev/fd0u1440 the boot disk works OK. I have used the superformat /dev/fd0 hd to create floppy disks for storiong files. What is going on here? Thanks.

Kernel 2.4.8 and Booting from NT
I was booting from NT with kernel version 2.2.15 without any problem. Just yesterday (I am using woody) I compiled kernel 2.4.8, got a bootdisk. I can boot from the boot disk fine. I did the lilo, dd if=/dev/sda2 of=/bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1 mcopy /bootsect.lnx a: Booted to NT, copied the bootsect.lnx to c:\ and then rebooted. On trying to boot into linux, I get LI and that is all. Is there any known problem with 2.4.8 and booting from NT. Fortunately I can boot directly, but I would like to have this sorted out. Thank you. Sebastian Canagaratna -- Sebastian Canagaratna Department of Chemistry Ohio Northern University [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Perl problem in Debian Linux?
Hi:
I appear to have a problem getting glob or the operator *
to work in Debian Linux. The examples from Learning Perl
by Schwartz and Christiansen (2nd edn) do not work
as given. I do the same
program from the command line with perl -e ' ' they work. Also
perl -c does not find any problems with the syntax.
I am using perl 5.6.1 with woody (kernel 2.2.15) with bash as my
shell. When I run the
debugger with perl -d ... each line is executed fine.
What am I doing wrong?
Just to give you an example lines like
foreach (*){
print $_\n;
}
or * replaced by glob('*')
do not work.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Sebastian

Re: Perl problem in Debian Linux?
Thanks Pietro for you reply. Here are some details.
The program foreach (*){
print $_\n;
}
gives (1) no error with perl -c
(2) runs ok from the command line with perl -e
(3) gives: syntax error near unexpected token '(*'
The same happens when I replace the * with glob(*):
syntac error near unexpected token '(glob('
It may be that the fact that bash is the shell is the problem. I tried
changing shells to csh, but it made not difference. Another puzzle is
that it runs ok from the command line.
Sebastian.

what happens exactly? any error messages? any output?
the glob function is implemented with csh, so this could be a csh
problem.

Thanks to all for writing. Indeed I had forgotten to use the !usr/bin/perl at the top. I thought I had. I guess it was trying to execute as a shell script. Problem solved. Thanks.

Long Double in gcc or g++
Hi: I was under the impression that on PC'c gcc or g++ implement the 80 bit long double. But how do you use it? I included math.h WHen I declared long double it does not complain. But when I treid to display it wiht %LE the number of digits is the same as for double. ALso the program does not recognize M_PIl, the long double form of PI which is defined in mathcalls.h. Does it require 128 bit for its use? HAve I to define somewithings with #define ? I am using a Pentium III. Thanks.

Re: Testing upgrade: Potentially harmful(?) problem
Hi (Jim and D): Some further notes. The dist-upgrade seems to get stuck trying to install libc6-dev2.2.3-5 ( it seems to think that this depends on libc62.2.1 ) but this is not available in testing: trying to overwrite /usr/bin/rpcgen which is also in package netbase dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal(broken-pipe) Trying dpkg -i libc6-dev2.2.3-5 also gives the same error. So even if I try apt-get install debconf perl5.004 etc, it gets stuck at the libc6dev. (My other machine, which incidentally is unstable not testing as I stated earlier had trouble with debconf but I was able to manually install debconf and seems to be chugging away as I write, installing the packages) I can of course try to go to unstable, but I would rather not right now. What other routes are available Thanks Sebastian.

The perl version changed. However, perl is a critical component of the Debian core (dpkg or apt or debconf or something like that). If you do a dist-upgrade then everything will get upgraded together and there won't be a problem because you replace one perl with another, and all the packages that depend on it are replaced with packages that depend on the new perl instead. I did a dist-upgrade a few weeks ago without any trouble. Maybe if you try again, as opposed to upgrading stuff one-at-a-time it will work better? Why did it abort in the first place?

fetchmail:cannot create lock file
I am using debian and after upgrading to testing I am having problem with fetchmail. My mail is on another server and I have used fetchmail to get the mail successfully before. I am using mutt. I was foooling around with .muttrc to get IMAP to work. I don't know whether this has any connection with the fetchmail failure. I am unable to see any messages in any log file.

Mutt:Mailbox is read-only
I am running testing. Recently I bought a new hard disk because I was running out of space and copied some old partitions ( /usr and /var ) using cp -R -d to partitions on the new hard disk. I use exim and mutt. Now I have two problems. 1. After I fetch my mail using fetchmail, and view it with mutt, when I press 'D' to delete a message I get the message Mailbox is read-only. I have compared the permissions ( the mail box is /var/spool/mail/scanagar owned by scanagar, group mail, -rw) and they seem to be OK. I have the old partitions still to compare with. I cannot detect any difference. The 2nd problem: when I try to access the man pages, I get: man: can't set effective uid: operation not permitted. I'll greatly appreciate any suggestion regarding how to proceed from here. Thanks. Sebastian. -- Sebastian Canagaratna Department of Chemistry Ohio Northern University [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Netscape Error: Readlink error: Invalid argument
Hi: I recently got a new hard-drive because I was running out of space and I created a new partition on this which I mounted as /usr. I copied (cp -R ) all the files from the original /usr. Now netscape does not run at all. The version of netscape is Netscape navigator 4.73, my linux is slink, the kernel 2.2.17. It had been running fine before. The error message is: Readlink error: Invalild argument Can't determine my name. Aborting. Clearly, while copying some links have got messed up. I thought it was just the link to netscape-smotif. This was an actual file in the new partition in /usr/lib/netscape/473. I removed this and linked /usr/lib/netscape/base-4/wrapper to netscape-smotif, but I got the same error. Any suggestions how I can run this down? Thanks. Sebastian -- Sebastian Canagaratna Department of Chemistry Ohio Northern University [EMAIL PROTECTED]
SCSI(boot)drive + Extra EIDE Drive?
Hi: I have a computer which boots off an Adaptec Ultra SCSI hard drive 1.2 G and I have another SCSI which I put later as a slave (4 gigs). I was trying to add an EIDE (30 GIG) hard drive but I am unable to get either the Bios or Linux to recognize it. EZ drive complains about not having an ide drive at 80H either because of a SCSI drive or bad bios entries. I pulled out the ScSI card , but this did not make a difference. I thought Linux was independent of the bios. ( I am using Slink, Linux 2.2.17) WHen I fdisk, it says it is unable to read /dev/hda. I tried putting hda=16383,16,63 in linux.conf but there was no change. The EIDE is a Western Digital Drive, and I read the FAQ in the western Digital site, and they give the impression that you can have both a SCSI and an drive together, though they treat only the case where the boot drive is an ide drive. I'd rather avoid this configuration. The computer has an award bios (1996). Is the drive faulty? What else should I try? Thanks for any suggestions.
