Followup to my last...
I'm installing Debian 11. The installer says that it is missing firmware files: b43/ucode11.fw, b43/ucode11.fw, b43-open/ucode11.fw and b43-open/ucode.fw. If you have such media available now, insert it, and continue. I downloaded the dang unofficial DVD ISO that supposedly has non-free binaries, but the installer won't accept that media as having the Broadcom drivers that I need. Sneakernet doesn't work because every iteration of the ISO that I try has no working dpkg. I cannot dpkg the stuff I need for dpkg to work if dpkg is not working. I appreciate your stance on non-free binaries, but at least throw me a bone on the unofficial ISO files. -- *R. Toby Richards*

Every time that I search for solutions to my wifi drivers, the solution is to apt-get install a bunch of drivers. Why does nobody realize that apt'ing anything is a non-solution: How can I apt-get install if I don't have network drivers? There are DOZENS of responses to questions about network drivers that say to apt-get install various packages without any thought to the fact that nobody can apt without first having network drivers. It's seriously starting to me off. I've got computers with Broadcom wifi. How the heck am I going to fix that by using networking to download the gosh darn drivers to fix the networking that I don't have? Of the dozens of "solutions" that I've read about this, NOBODY ever thinks about how to fix the network driver without having a network driver. Do I know how to use sneakernet? Yes. In my young adulthood, email was dialing into a BBS that would then dial the next closest free telephone call to another BBS, and so forth until your message from California got to the East Coast. Days. I remember trucks with huge spools of punch-cards that were data for the mainframe. When I try to use sneakernet to overcome the networking issues then I get errors from dpkg that it can't install debs because ldconfig and start-stop-daemon aren't available. I haven't bothered searching for the debs that provide those things because I cannot use a deb to fix dpkg because dpkg doesn't function. The catch-22's are endless. In my case, I need Broadcom drivers. I can't get b43 over the network. I can't use sneakernet for b43 debs because dpkg doesn't work (let alone finding all the dependencies and dependencies of dependencies and so forth). Now what? -- *R. Toby Richards*
Debian on new hardware: ASUS UX430U notebook PC
Greetings. I have successfully installed debian (buster) on my ASUS UX430U and have been using it for around one month without any severe problems. There are however, some minor issues, that I would like to share with the community. (This notebook does not appear on debian's supported hardware list and can be - almost everything works out of the box after some minor tweaks!). Question: Is this information wanted? If so, how do I proceed to add this information to the debian "supported hardware" set? How do I maintain this information as possible fixes to some minor problems are found? SOrry if the answer is obvious and I missed something. :-) Thanks! Best, Toby
Maildrop - howto deliver email that contains the word "systemd" directly to trash with .mailfilter?
Hello, the subject says it all. I'm starting to have problems finding useful mails from this list. They are hiding somewhere between all systemd arguments. Since I'm not interested in what init system that will be the default and are trusting that my boxes will work just fine with the one chosen by the developers I'm trying to figure out howto filter incoming mails that contains the word "systemd" and deliver them to trash. I have maildrop as mda using Maildir. I use this in my .mailfilter to sort mails from this list to a specific folder: if (/^X-Mailing-List: /) to "$HOME/Maildir/.Linux.Debian.User" Can anyone give me hint on how to achieve this by adding another rule?

HDD errors, completely confused.
Hi, I tried to connect to my Samba share on my Debian machine and it didn't work for some reason. So I decided I would reboot it. (Its only a home server and more of a project/experiment so not that important) But when it came back up and tried to boot into the kernel I got these errors: Current sda: sense key medium Error Additional sense: Unrecovered read error - auto reallocate failed end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 11367019 scsi0: ERROR on channel 0, id 0, lun0. CDB: Read (10) 00 06 ef 15 00 00 74 0 I only just managed to get this as the screen was continually updating. I am not sure where to go from here, as the errors stopped and asked do I want to either remount the HDD with RW options or to enter the root password and manually admin it. I put a-load of data as a backup on one of the partitions before I lost the samba share but it seems that was not copied across due to the partition usage size not changing. ( had booted into a XP partition on the server to check that worked also check the partitions and they seemed fine so i am completely confused. Never seen this before, not sure entirely what the problem is or how to fix it. I hope somebody can help. Thanks, Toby. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Experimenting with Debian
Hi, I am setting up a dual boot with debian and want to experiment with it as a desktop. I am wondering which would be the best version to go for, Stable, Testing , Unstable. I run Stable at the moment with for a server, but wondering if testing would be a better option for a desktop as I would also like to implement steam under wine(and the other one I can't remember at the moment) Can somebody with some experience please offer some advice.

Problem with Fontconfig and the 9x18 bitmap font
I don't seem to be able to select the 9x18 'misc' bitmap font in
Fontconfig because it gets confused with other fonts.
The 9x18 font I'd like to use is provided by the xfonts-base package in
the four following files:
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/9x18{,B,-ISO8859-1,B-ISO8859-1}.pcf.gz
The problem is that Fontconfig assigns the same facename and same
attributes (up to 'charset' excluded) to several other fonts:
$ grep "Fixed-12:style=Regular:slant=0:weight=80:width=100:pixelsize=
18:spacing=110:foundry=Misc:antialias=False:index=0:outline=False:s
calable=False:dpi=100" /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.cache-1
"18x18ja.pcf.gz" ...
"18x18ko.pcf.gz" ...
"9x18-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz" ...
"9x18.pcf.gz" ...
As Murphy's law dictates, when I ask for it I'm given the wrong one:
$ fc-match Fixed-12:pixelsize=18
18x18ja.pcf.gz: "Fixed" "Regular"
Adding more attributes does nothing, since they have equal values.
Admittedly the 'lang' attribute of those fonts is different, but I've
not been able to use it in a fontconfig pattern to match the 9x18 font.
I'm currently using a modified ~/.fonts.cache-1 in which I've given a
different facename to the 9x18 font, but that's clearly not a solution.
Any advice?
Can I exploit the difference in the lang attribute to match 9x18?
Is this a Fontconfig and/or xfonts-base bug?
Toby

RE: Question about Dual boot Linux on one box (chroot)
> I am not familiar with chroot. Could you please point us out to good > documentation? Of course. I intended to add a link to my last post, but a slip-of-the-keyboard caused me to post prematurely (this is also the cause of the appalling grammar and spelling in my last post). Here are a couple of references to the subject: http://kapcoweb.com/p/static/docs/jc-gentoo-howto/jc-gentoo-howto.html (Gentoo in RedHat) http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-tips.en.html (Debian in Debian) As I said, I've not deployed this myself, though I am keen to try it. Good Luck, Toby McLaughlin.
RE: Question about Dual boot Linux on one box
Some of the filesystem lend themselves better to dual-mounting than others. As Sun Liwen pointed out, mounting the swap partition on both systems makes is a good idea. Mounting /home on both systems is also an excellent idea. If you do this, all you applications should maintain settings acroos both installations. /var/www should be fine to share also, assuming that this is the document root of an Apache installation. Sharing /boot and and / is not a good idea however. Particularly since you don't have a separate /etc where all the machine specific configuration files live. You can get a lot of information on this topic from the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (http://www.pathname.com/fhs/). An advanced technique that you could consider is not to dual-boot at all, but to run Debian in chroot environment under gentoo. In this setup, both distributions can run simultaneously while sharing the same kernel. I haven't this myself I'm afraid but there is plenty of literature describing it. > -Original Message- > From: Sun Liwen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, 1 December 2004 4:39 PM > To: Lian Liming; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Question about Dual boot Linux on one box > > > > - Original Message - > From: "Lian Liming" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Wednesday, December 01, 2004 12:14 PM > Subject: Question about Dual boot Linux on one box > > > > Hi all, > > I have a box with a pre-installed gentoo system.

XMCD causing memory faults
HI, I am getting a memory fault when I run XMCD. I have a Panasonic/Matshita CR-587 cd-rom which works fine with Debian, ie. I transfer files from cd to hard drive even audio files. I have a awe64 soundcard which works fine also, I just used my mic to record 4 sec of noise and played it back and it was fine. My question is why am I getting memory faults when trying to run XMCD? I followed all direction for installing both cd-rom and soundcard to the letter and I configured XMCD. Any ideas to fix this would be appreciated. Thanks, Toby [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: 2 ether, problems routing
First you need to assign a local IP(your LAN) to the Ether card that is connected to you LAn. AN the One connect to the NET the IP you got from your ISP. Then use ipfwadm to forward any packets from your LAN to the Net. A good help is the HOWTO docs on Network and Firewalls. Hope it helps Toby [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Proxy Server
HI, I am running a PII BX system. It has both Debian Linux and Win98 installed on it. It has a client machine accessing the Net through it. There is a cable modem connect to the PII system. I am trying to get the Proxy software for Win 98, Wingate 2.1d, and the Debian way, ipfwd and ipmasq to work same was so as client machine wouldn't notice any difference no matter what OS is running. I have both working but they work differently. Wingate actually get the client machine to log into the WIngate machine before it forwards the client machines request to the Net. While the Debian OS will let the Client machine to use directly connected. Anyone know of a way to make both act the same way so the client machine does not have to be c configured when ever a differented OS is booted up. Thanks Toby [EMAIL PROTECTED]
