Multiple Logins mit kdm
Hallo Liste, ich habe folgendes Problem mit dem kdm: Ich möchte zwei kdm-logins haben, einen auf vt7, einen auf vt8. Dafür habe ich /usr/kde/3.3/share/config/kdm/Xservers wie folgt angepasst: :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 vt7 :1 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :1 vt8 Nach einem Neustart des kdm hat das auch tatsächlich so funktioniert. Mit ctrl-alt-F7 und ctrl-alt-F8 kann ich zwischen den beiden Login-Screens wechseln. Leider kann ich mich aber nur auf vt7 auch wirklich als User einlogen. Wenn ich den kdm auf vt8 benutze, dann wird der Bildschirm nur kurz schwarz und ich lande wieder in der Eingabemaske des kdm. In meinem Home-Verzeichnis finde ich in der .xsession-errors-:1 folgende Fehlermeldung: Xlib: connection to :0.0 refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified Offensichtlich versucht der kdm-Screen auf vt8 meinen Window-Manager auf vt7 zu öffnen, was natürlich nicht funktionieren kann. Die Dokumentation auf http://docs.kde.org/en/3.2/kdebase/kdm/kdmrc.html hilft mir auch nicht weiter. Kann mir jemand weiterhelfen was ich wo konfigurieren muss?

Re: Xscreensaver killt X
Hallo Lars, Wenn mein Xscreensaver anspringt, habe ich noch etwa zwei Minuten Zeit, eine Taste zu drücken oder die Maus zu bewegen, um ohne Password weiterzuarbeiten. [...] In beiden Fällen bleibt nur ein beherztes Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, woraufhin ich wieder beim GDM-Login ankomme (logisch ;-) ) Ich hatte mal ein ähnliches Problem mit xscreensaver (Maus bewegte sich noch, aber nichts war bedienbar). Versuch mal auf die Konsole umzuschalten und wieder zurück. Bei mir hat dann alles wieder funktioniert.

Re: Zaurus per USB ins Netzwerk
Hallo Andreas, ich verzweifle grad am Versuch mein Sharp Zaurus SL5500G per USB-Cradle ins Netzwerk zu hängen. Nicht doch! Dranbleiben! Das ganze soll über ein Debian-Woody-System laufen. Dazu versuch ich das Kernel-Modul usbnet vom Standardkernel 2.4.17 zu laden. Fehlanzeige. Ich nehme den 2.4.21. Vielleicht könntest Du ein Upgrade erwägen. Sämgliche Tutorials weisen auf usbdnet.o hin, welches ich aber nicht installieren möchte, da usbnet neuer sein soll. Wenn Du es nicht so machen willst wie in den Tutorials, warum wunderst Du dich wenn es dann nicht funktioniert? Beim 2.4.21 brauchst Du übrigens keine zusätzlichen Patches einzuspielen. Meine Frage: Hat jemand seinen Zaurus per USB-Cradle und usbnet-Modul ins private Netzwerk gehängt? Hab ich und es funktioniert einwandfrei. Wenn ja, kann man mir etwas Schützenhilfe geben? Meine grauen Haare haben sich in den letzten Stunden enorm vermehrt... :) Mir hat folgendes geholfen: http://www.teamlinux.de/kb/linux/mobil/zaurus-usb http://www.linux-migration.org/ch05s08.html Da Du aber von Tutorials gesprochen hast, kennst Du die Seiten vielleicht schon.

OK, ich nehme mal an, daß inkrementell bedeutet, daß sich nicht-Full-Backup stets direkt auf ein Full Backup bezieht. Wenn du das anders meinst, müßten wir uns begrifflich einigen. bumpdays int Default: 2. To insure redundancy in the dumps, Amanda keeps filesystems at the same incremental level for at least bumpdays days, even if the other bump threshold criteria are met. Wenn bumpdays also deinem Backup-Zyklus entspricht (hinreichend groß ist), gibt es nur Full Backups und Level-1-Backups. 6 - man muß halt die Datenhaufen selbst mittels exclude-Pattern aufteilen Das ist ja wohl ein Witz ? Das ist hier kein Datenhaufen sondern ein regulär arbeitender Betrieb, alleine die 3-Monats Filebackups der Datenbanken sprengen jedes Tape. Willst du sagen, daß einzelne Dateien nach Kompression nicht auf ein Band passen? In diesem Fall hast du mit amanda wirklich ein Problem. Mal etwas Praxis: Ich mach wöchentlich eine komplette Sicherung, das sind (nach gzip-Kompression) 1 TB, auf 10 Bänder a 110 GB. Das ist ein regulär arbeitender Betrieb. Insofern ist mir nicht klar, was du machst, damit es bei dir nicht geht. 9 - ich sehe kein Problem; was fehlt dir? Ich habe in den Amanda Dokus keine klaren Hinweise gefunden, wie man ordentlich eine einzelne Datei von einem Tape Restauriert, den Backup Server resauriert nach einem Totalschaden, In docs/RESTORE steht das für mehrere Fehler-Szenarien. Amanda nutzt normale Werkzeuge, also tar (mache ich) oder dump. Man kann die Bänder also auch ohne Amanda einlesen. Wie stellt man die indices wieder her ? Indem man sie von Band rücksichert. Wie liest man ein einzelnes Band wieder ein ? Mit tar. Wie erstellt man ein inhaltsverzeichnis ? Indem man es von Band rücksichert. Hier hatte mir Tapeware/Novell am besten gefallen, da wurde die komplette Index DB ans letzte Sicherungsband angehhängt. Genau so funktioniert amanda nicht. (Prinzipiell könnte man aus dem Archiv den Index bauen, aber das hat wohl noch keiner gebraucht.) Ich meine tatsächlich nicht störend im Hintergrund laufend, amanda drainiert alle verfügbare CPU clientseitig sobald der dumper anläuft ebenso zert es den verfügbaren Ram auf. Es kommt mir vor, daß zuerst in einem Burst alles durchgekämmt und angelesen wird. (Verzeichnisse). Wenn Du auf 6 Partionen sechs mal ein find . -xdev machst, weißt Du was ich meine ... Wenn Du auch noch die Ergebnisse verarbeitest (in ToDo List, pipe in ein tar cz -|send to senddata) Dann herschet auch bei nicht allzu großen Abteilungsservern Augenstillstand ! Das wundert mich sehr. Mit maxdumps stellt man die maximale Anzahl von parallelen Läufen pro Client ein, der default ist 1. ps müßte dir ja sagen, welche Prozesse und wieviele sich da beschäftigen. 6 parallele finds auf einer Platte ist nun mal unsinnig, aber man muß amanda ja nicht extra so konfigurieren. Ansonsten klingt das nach GNU Tar, das zuerst den Index der Dateien aufbaut und anschließend sortiert. Bei vielen kleinen Dateien (z.B. 50 GB als Dateien mit ca. 20 kB ...) braucht es da in der Tat sehr viel CPU. Das ist wohl einer der wenigen Fälle, wo man statt tar dump nehmen muß. Amanda ist modular, es nutzt andere Programme zur Datensicherung. Man müßte wohl die Sortiererei in GNU Tar abschalten, die wohl nur dazu da ist, Hardlinks zu erkennen und die Datei dann nur einmal abzuspeichern. Ansonsten viel Spaß mit afbackup; ich habe es mir auch grade mal installiert, um es wieder mal anzugucken ...

Re: Debian Woody Neuinstallation: 2 Probleme
Hallo Michael, ich habe das erste mal debian woody installiert (bin von suse umgestiegen) Gute Idee! Man muß vielseitig bleiben! Schließlich gibt es viele Linuxe. Ich bin von SuSE 8.0 umgestiegen. War echt ein Aha-Effekt. und habe nun zwei probleme: Zwei Probleme sind kein Problem. 1) große schriftarten in den menüleisten von mozilla/netscape [...] Nun, welche Fonts hast Du denn installiert? Der kann ja nur das nehmen, was da ist. 2) update des kernels [...] Du köntest gleich beim Booten von der Installations-CD den 2.4er Kernel wählen. Dann wird Dein System auch damit installiert. Wie? Am LILO-Prompt statt nur 'Enter' lieber 'bf24' und 'Enter' (Lies den Text auf der Seite für weitere Bootoptionen). Ich empfehle Dir aber gleich danach auf den 2.4.21 zu wechseln. Die IDE-Festplatten-Performance hat sich verbessert und es hat ein paar wichtige Fixes beim USB-Support gegeben (usbnet und usb-storage glaube ich) Wie? Debian bietet Dir ein Tool, dass Dir aus den Kernel-Quellen ein *.deb Paket baut, dass Du dann dpkg -i installieren kannst (modules, System.map sogar LILO kann eingerichtet werden). - Installiere das Paket kernel-package - Installiere die Kernelquellen nach /usr/src/linux-2.4.21 - Führe in /usr/src 'ln -s linux-2.4.21 linux' aus - Konfiguriere Dir Deinen Kernel - Führe in /usr/src/linux-2.4.21 'make-kpkg kernel_image modules_image --revision=kernel.2.4.21' aus - Danach findest Du in /usr/src die Datei kernel-image-2.4.21_kernel.2.4.21_i386.deb die Du nun mit 'dpkg -i kernel-image-2.4.21_kernel.2.4.21_i386.deb' installieren kannst (Lies dabei genau die Anweisungen am Prompt!) Die ausführliche Version dieser Anleitung findest Du hier: http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/system/kernel-pkg.html (ist echt ein Bookmark wert) [...] am liebsten möchte ich ohne kernel-kompilierung auskommen. Kernel kompilieren macht Spass, klar! ;-) Gute Nacht Sven P.S. Installiere Dir mit dselect mal aptitude. Das ist auch ein Paketverwaltungstool, aber meiner Meinung nach etwas angenehmer zu bedienen. Du kannst es direkt starten, oder als Kommandozeilentool verwenden, z.B.: aptitude search font (welche fonts sind verfügbar/installiert?) aptitude install paketname (paket wird installiert, Abhängigkeiten aufgelöst) Wenn Du in /etc/apt/sources.list nichtlokale Paketquellen (ftp oder http) angegeben hast, dann werden nach dem Start von aptitude und dem Drücken von u Deine Quelllisten auf den neuesten Stand gebracht. Damit stehen Dir neue und/oder aktualisierte Pakete zur Verfügung. Unbedingt sollte dort 'deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free' stehen, damit Du mit aktuellen Patches versorgt bist (z.B. solltest Du Dir gleich eine neue Version von aptitude installieren ;-). Ein Archiv von Paketseiten im Internet findest Du auf www.apt-get.org. Dort gibt es eine Suchfunktion (probier zum Beispiel mal kde oder java) -- -- Haeufig gestellte Fragen und Antworten (FAQ): http://www.de.debian.org/debian-user-german-FAQ/ Zum AUSTRAGEN schicken Sie eine Mail an [EMAIL PROTECTED] mit dem Subject unsubscribe.

Re: Strange problem with debian install
Brian Freeze [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: 1) I just installed the lasted release of debian on a pentium 166 system with 64 megs of ram. This system has a pci etherlink XL card in it. Problem: I am having major delays in ftp'ing or telneting to any site from this system. When I try I get excessive delays when prompted for a username and passwd from the remote system. Once I get through that I also have the same delays if I use any commands such as cd or ls or give a command to download a file. I have the same problem here. I believe I saw a patch for this on a web site listing inofficial Linux patches, but I don't remember the URL.

The 'check_for_nonprintable' is in lpd.conf, NOT smb.conf. I vaguely recall that this was such a FAQ that it was made the default setting (dont take my word for it though) Currrently it is only default in the version that is in experimental (because it has some other bugs).

Re: lprm says Permission denied (fwd)
Adrian Phillips [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: A suggestion for people using Lprng and having problems is to check out the Lprng mailing list (10-20 messages a day - see the doc dir. for info). I joined a few weeks ago and they have covered this problem (Samba) and many others; and Patrick Powell (the author) is extremely helpful in fixing problems and adding new features - this is perhaps yet another good reason to switch to Lprng (how much new development is occurring with lpr ?), That's the reason why a) using LPRng and b) maintaining a Debian package for LPRng is much easier for me compared to lpr. BTW: There are maintained versions of lpr, but there are that many (the *BSDs, and probably some Linux versions). Unfortunately the *BSD versions don't compile on Linux, and I don't know which Linux-ported lpr versions are well-maintained. Sven -- Sven Rudolph [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; WWW : http://www.sax.de/~sr1/

Are *all* packages that are compressed with gzip compressed with gzip -9? Including all .orig.tar.gz files, .diff.gz, etc.? If not, this may be a way to save some space for now. The gzip call for these files is done by dpkg-source, so the gzip options are determined by dpkg-source and not by the developer.

Re: lprm says Permission denied (fwd)
Scott Stanley [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: The real fix seems to go to lprng. That's the official position of the maintainer as well, as stated in a msg. to this list last year. I'll do it as soon as I have a chance. If the recommended fix (by the package maintainer even) is to switch from lpr to lprng, shouldn't lpr be switched out of Standard and lprng moved from Optional into Standard? I tried to push LPRng as the default, but I learned that there is still software (e.g. netatalk) that relies on subtle properties of classic BSD lpr, so dropping lpr is no option yet. Sven -- Sven Rudolph [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; WWW : http://www.sax.de/~sr1/
Re: lprm says Permission denied (fwd)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Yes. The suggestion is wrong, the suggestion is just a hack. The problem is due to an incoherence between lprm/lpr/lpd. I sent a patch for this last year, I think it was applied but it may have been dropped. I haven't followed lpr*.deb since, because for me it's working and I don't want to touch it ever again. I think I applied something that should correct this, but obviously it doesn't work. If you could afford the time please check your patch against the current lpr and try to find the difference. Otherwise simply send me your patch. Besides this mess, lpr has security problems as well. The latest buffer overrun is fixed, so I'm not aware of an existing problem. The real fix seems to go to lprng. That's the official position of the maintainer as well, as stated in a msg. to this list last year. I'll do it as soon as I have a chance. True, but I had to learn that LPRng doesn't work in some environments, so we have to keep lpr. Sven -- Sven Rudolph [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; WWW : http://www.sax.de/~sr1/

Is this a feature that is being dropped or was it just a lag? The 1.44MB disk includes the kernel and the root filesystem. They didn't fit on a 1.2MB disk. I first tried tricks to make either the kernel or the root filesystem smaller, but I didn't save enough disk space. So I decided to move the root file system off to another disk. I intend to ask Bruce Perens to provide the 1.2MB rescue disk together with the other disk images.

Currently, you can find them at http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/~wirzeniu/debian/index.html Those packages are experimental versions, and have at least one problem: they don't provide the package pgp. They're better than nothing, of course. I placed them on the server mentioned below in contrib. Is this ok? I expect there'll be a centralized FTP site for non-US debian packages (pgp, ssh, ssl,...).

I was under the impression that this product was owned by Sun and not available for other platforms but I heard that some Linux distributions provided it (Redhat). A long story ... OpenLook is a user interface specification, looking like what Sun offered years ago (pre-X11 times) as SunView. XView is an implementation of the SunView API (with enhancements) and looks very much like OpenLook. In order to say that it looks like OpenLook you need a licence from Sun, this seems to cost money. XView is available under a BSD-style licence. The XView distribution includes the library and some client programs, the most advanced are texttool and cmdtool. OpenWindows is the whole toolset as offered by Sun. This includes XView and more client programs (filetool, some calender and others). It isn't freely available. (Mistakes are mine ...) I've looked on the internet for openwin, but could never find anything. You should have looked for XView, since OpenWindows isn't freely available. Where can I find a version that will run under Debian? On ftp.debian.org, but you have to wait some days. I will upload xview including the XView-included client programs next week.

The Debian Linux WWW server is at http://www.debian.org/ , the FAQ is located at http://www.debian.org/FAQ/ . The FAQ is available via FTP at ftp.debian.org:/debian/doc . 1.2. Purpose of this document This document is intended to identify areas that need your contributions. It provides information that hopefully changes quite often, so it supplements the Debian Linux FAQ. 1.3. What do I need to know in order to become a package maintainer ? Please read the documents at ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/doc/package- developer/ . The packaging guidelines are included in the dpkg-1.1.0 package. You should subscribe to the debian-devel mailing list, details are given in the FAQ. 1.4. Feedback Please send additions, corrections, suggestions and wishes to Sven Rudolph [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please mention to which version of this document your comments refer. 2. Packages that have no current maintainer Packages listed in this section are still part of Debian (unless they have too many bugs), but the maintainer had reasons to not continue maintaining it. (Remember: Debian is mainly produced by volunteers who are not paid for maintaining Debian packages.) If you find that you need to discontinue maintaining a package, send me an e-mail. If you believe that the following list is incomplete, i.e., that there are other packages in the Debian distribution that currently have no active maintainer, send me an e-mail. If you would like to maintain one of the packages listed here, send me an e-mail. previously maintained by Ian Murdock [EMAIL PROTECTED] : o acm o aout-librl (this package might be unnecessary now) o elisp-manual o glibcdoc o metamail o pmake previously maintained by Ian Jackson [EMAIL PROTECTED] : o trn 3. Packages that the maintainer wants to give away Packages listed in this section are still part of Debian, but the maintainer wants to find a new maintainer. It isn't as urgent to find a new maintainer as in the previous section. If you maintain Debian packages that you would like to hand off, send me an e-mail, then I will add this package to this section. If you would like to maintain one of the packages listed here, write to the current maintainer of this package. currently maintained by Sven Rudolph [EMAIL PROTECTED] : o seyon currently maintained by David Engel [EMAIL PROTECTED] : o tclX currently maintained by Christian Linhart [EMAIL PROTECTED] : o statserial o tgif o xarchie currently maintained by Ian Jackson [EMAIL PROTECTED] : o m4 o cron currently maintained by Jim Robinson [EMAIL PROTECTED] : o pari currently maintained by Michael Meskes [EMAIL PROTECTED] Aachen.DE : o xsysinfo o xcolors o xautolock 4. Packages that someone is working on Programs listed in this section aren't yet available as Debian packages, but someone is working on providing a package. If you would like to work on one of these packages please contact the responsible person listed below.

The upcoming 1.1 release has which. It's just a bash shell script that calls bash's built in type command: #!/bin/bash type -path $* I'm glad which is now included with Debian, but I think it would be better to use a real program (perhaps borrowed from Slackware) instead of the bash shell script. A problem with the bash script is that it doesn't handle shell builtins like one would expect which would. For example: which test returns nothing. While which should return /usr/bin/test on a Debian system. Agree. A BSD-compatible public domain implementation of which is available at alpha.gnu.ai.mit.edu:/friedman/scripts/which . It is a 428 byte shell script. Please use this one. Sven -- Sven Rudolph [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; WWW : http://www.sax.de/~sr1/
