libfam0c102 kills 182 KDE3 packages
Running KDE3 woody debian packages downloaded from kde site. Works great. In order to run nautilus and yelp in gnome2 I need libgnomevfs2-0 and libgnomevfs2-common which depends on libfam0c102. When I execute apt-get install libfam0c102 libgnomevfs2-0 libgnomevfs2-common these would all install OK however they would also remove all 182 kde3 packages. How can I keep kde3 installed and still run nautilus and yelp? Wassup? Victor -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: libfam0c102 kills 182 KDE3 packages
Thanks to all who replied. Will stick with KDE3.1 for now until the GCC 3.2 C++ recompiles are completed. Will be on the lookout for kde 3.1 in unstable.

I suspect that your KDE 3 packages depend on the old package name (libfam0) and the GNOME 2 packages depend on the new package name (libfam0c102). I also suspect that the new package superseeds or obsoletes (or whatever the Debian package term is) the old one, so installing libfam0c102 is attempting to remove libfam0. That is correct. We are currently in a transition to GCC 3.2 as default compiler. As the C++ compiler introduces a new ABI in contrast to our previous (2.95) compiler. That brings in the need to recompile all C++ libraries and applications depending on them. Because the new libraries are incompatible with the old ones we have to change the packages' names. Please see [0] for more information on this. If this is the case, you might like to see if there's a flag you can use to dpkg or apt-get to make it install them side-by-side (of course this is not an ideal solution). You should probably confirm whether what I have stated is correct and then inform the maintainer of the KDE packages that the dependency name has changed. One should wait until fresh KDE3 packages hit unstable. Unstable is not stable btw. so that dependency breakage is not that unusual.

CHoose OS v0.80 - Tale of Woe
On 97/12/11 at 08:25 AM -0500, Victor Torrico wrote:
Hello,
Think CHOS is the greatest thing since chocolate ice cream. I have it partially
configured but can't boot all OSs on several partitions. Obviously it's a case
of cockpit trouble on my part. I've tried all I can do to get all three
bootable partitions to boot with only partial success. Here's the sad tale:
Running Debian Linux i586 box with two 1.6 GByte EIDE hard drives. Before I was
using the OS/2 loader and lilo which worked fine for selecting the partition to
boot. The actual partitions are:
1. * /dev/hda2 - linux OS mounted as / (Use entire drive for linux)
2. /dev/hdb6 - linux OS mounted as /mnt/deb (Use for file storage only)
3. * /dev/hdb7 - linux OS mounted as /mnt/debb (Emergency linux partition)
4. * /dev/hdb8 - OS/2 OS mounted as /mnt/os2 (HPFS)
* = bootable OSs
The names for the three bootable partitions I would use for CHOS would be:
/dev/hda2 = Linux A (there are 2 kernels here /boot/vmlinuz /boot/vmlinuz.old)
/dev/hdb7 = Linux B
/dev/hdb8 = OS/2
Right now the only kernel that will load is /boot/vmlinuz.old. /boot/vmlinuz
will not load. Also using vchos I couldn't get /dev/hdb7 or /dev/hdb8 to load
no matter what I tried. It's probably something dumb I'm overlooking.
Please help or point me to where I can get help.
My /etc/chos.conf file is: (before I tried other OSs)
snip
# BACKGOUND
background=dump:/boot/bg/chos.bin
# MENUPOSITION
menupos=21,16
# TIMERPOSITION
timerpos=24,3
# FILE SETTINGS

##
bootsect DOS {
color=lightblue
image=/dev/hda1
}
linux Linux {
color=blue
image=/vmlinuz
}
linux Old Linux {
color=red
image=/boot/vmlinuz.old
}
snip
I also tried image=/boot/vmlinux under Linux with no success (no boot).
Old Linux boots fine. I don't use DOS at all so I can simply elininate that
part of the file.

My ISP has a 30 sec timeout on login so I put a ping in in my ip-up
script to get things solid before he had a chance to disconnect me :-)
It looks like this:
snip
export PATH
sleep 1s
ping -c 2 cl-sys.com
snip
This seems to be enough to get me to the next level of timeouts, 10
min. I'm having similar problems on several machines and OS's as you
are, so don't feel alone.
Later
Rob
Piggy backing on your idea, I am just leaving ping turned on all the time so
that there is one ping every twenty seconds. This keeps the ISP timeout
window happy and should not interfere in any significant way with using any
applications or downloads. This now allows me to take my time without
worrying about thirty second timeouts. It turns out that the ISP timeout is
after any thirty second period of inactivity. Not just after login.
Here's what I do:ping -i 20 ISP domain name goes here
ie; I use: ping -i 20 cfw.com
Of course this could also be put in the ip-up file or made into a bash
function. pg () { ping -i 20 cfw.com; }
Let me know if this works for you please.
Cheers,
Victor

Re: Problem with exim and fetchmail.
Mail of Rob Browning:
Christoph Lameter [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
Put the following into /etc/exim.conf
(customize for your setup! by default exim does not accept unqualified
e-mail!)
qualify_domain = waterf.org
receiver_unqualified_nets =
192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0:206.1.27.36/255.255.255.255
Thanks for the suggestion, but that didn't do it. It's not
complaining about the source, but rather the destination when
fetchmail contacts exim for the SMTP transfer. I even tried
receiver_verify=false and qualify_recipient=localhost with no luck.
Here's some relevant bits from my /etc/exim.conf:
qualify_domain = raven.localhost
local_domains = raven.localhost
receiver_unqualified_nets = 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0
If it matters (and it might), this machine normally has a dynamic
connection to the internet (and a Dynamic IP), so I have bind/resolv
set up to think this machine is under the (bogus) localhost domain.
That seems to satisfy all the apps (lprng, sendmail originally, etc.)
that were having trouble before, but I suppose this hack could be
causing exim trouble.
I've read the mini/Dynamic-IP-Hacks HOWTO, and their suggestions
caused the same exim SMTP failures. I've also tried localhost and
localhost:raven.localhost for each of the above variables without
success.
Thanks

Hi Rob,
I'm using the following debian packages out of /debian/hamm/hamm:
exmh, exim, fetchmail, mh, metamail and mime-support.
The following is what I did for a ppp connection to an ISP using dynamic
addressing and pop3. I also used hack 5? of the mini/Dynamic-IP-Hacks HOWTO
(the one where you make new hosts-up and hosts-down files). This
Dynamic-IP-Hackshack
worked perfectly for me.
Anyhow my ~/.fetchmailrc is:
poll milo.cfw.com --- Your ISP Mail server goes here
protocol pop3
uidl
username vtorrico is [EMAIL PROTECTED] here
password xxx
smtphost milo.cfw.com --- Your ISP Mail server goes here
# keep
fetchall
mda exim -bm %s
My pertinent part of /etc/exim.conf is:
# This is the main exim configuration file.
# It was originally generated by `eximconfig', part of the exim package
# distributed with Debian, but it may edited by the mail system
administrator.
# This file originally generated by eximconfig at Fri Aug 8 20:09:27 EDT
1997
# See exim info section for details of the things that can be configured
here.
# General configuration here, such as local domains
qualify_domain = cfw.com Your ISP domain name
local_domains = localhost
local_domains_include_host = true
local_domains_include_host_literals = true
never_users = root

id ${message_id} (Debian)
end
Make sure the following line is in /etc/inetd.conf:
smtpstream tcpnowait mail/r/sbin/exim exim -bs
To make From: part of messages read correctly change or add the localname
statement to /etc/mh/mtstailor. The localname should be the domain name of
your ISP. Mine is cfw.com.
This is my /etc/mh/mtstailor:

This is a work-in-progress with other features to be added. Anyhow, it's called XCmail and is available from sunsite. The file name is XCmail-0.9-Linux-bin.tar.gz. I don't know if the authors would agree to GNU licensing or not. I stuck it in /usr/local/xcmail with a soft link to the /usr/X11R6/bin directory for executing it. --- Victor -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Minimizing Mail Packages?
Hello All, Connected intermittantly to internet using PPP to an ISP who uses POP3 for mail. I am attempting to minimize the number of packages needed to run mail. It seems there are many mail packages but not a great deal of information on there interrelationships. Am running on X the following Debian mail-related packages : exim, fetchmail, mh and exmh with subsidiary packages of metamail and mime-support. I know one needs both mh and exmh to do mail processing if exmh is used. Also POP3 support is needed for mail to and from the ISP. Are exim and fetchmail also required? Can one one just use mh and exmh by themselves to do all mail composing and handling as well as receiving and sending mail via POP3 to the ISP? I tried mutt and think it's great for subsidiary usage.

Running Netscape Communicator
When starting Netscape Communicator 4.01 v6 from xterm, using the Netscape command, there are no error messages generated. All works well including encryption and decryption. When starting it using the Netscape button on the fvwm95 button bar an error message appears and everything works well except for encryption and decryption. The error message reads No valid encryption policy file was found for this English language version of Communicator. All encryption and decryption will be disabled. Pertinent excerpt from .fvwm2rc95 file follows immediately: -- [ snip ] - *FvwmButtons(Title Netscape, Icon nscape.xpm, \ Action 'Exec Netscape netscape -geometry 920x622+90+5 ') -- [ snip ] - How can Communicator be started from the button bar without generating the error message?

Need Mirror of Master /debian/Incoming
Hello All, Once in a while I need a file or two from the /debian/Incoming directory at master.debian.org. Since they only have a five user anonymous ftp limit it's very hard to access the site. Most of the time you can't get in. It would be great if several mirror sites additionally mirrored only the /debian/Incoming directory of Master. Another thought would be for several sites, which are not now mirrors, to start mirroring only the /debian/Incoming directory of Master.

Below is the patch you need to apply to /usr/lib/dpkg/methods/ftp/install
Then, in access step of dselect, you have to choose debian/ as the top
directory, and hamm/hamm hamm/contrib hamm/non-free as the distributions.

Netscape Communicator 4.01b6 works fine
The new Netscape Communicator 4.01b6 installs nicely using the Debian netscape-beta package. It seems to be very stable but then again I never had problems with Communicator 4.0b5. Of course you must first delete the /usr/X11R6/bin/netscape link and then make a new soft link to ln -s /usr/local/netscape/netscape /usr/X11R6/bin/netscape and all will be well. I live off the unstable directory so this may be why Communicator works OK for me. Who knows?
