Re: digital camera question
Looks like a permission problem. Install gphoto2 apt-get install gphoto2 then try as root gphoto2 --autodetect -L If you get a list of pictures in the cam, try the same as a normal user. If it works as root and not as a normal user, read the README.Debian file.

After that I went to the kernel config (make menuconfig)
of the source from the (extracted) kernel package 2.4.18
(/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.18/)
and set up the following things:
Character devices--
{*} /dev/agpgart
selection for all chipsets (yeah, I know, but just to make sure)
[*] Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 DRI support)
--- DRM 4.1 drivers
{*} ATI Rage 128
Wrong. You need:
--- DRM 4.1 drivers
{ } ATI Rage 128
Because 4.1 stands for the X version. You certainly use 4.2.
That's why you have to download and compile drm-trunk-module-src.
Finished the config.
Then:
make-kpkg clean
make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image
You only need to build the drm modules. In /usr/src, untar the
drmi-trunk.tar.gz than in /usr/src/linux do 'make-kpkg modules-image'.
dpkg -i ../kernel_image--2.4.18_custom.2.0_i386.deb
install also the resulting drm package.
shutdown -r now
Wrong.
You need to update your boot loader (unless you use grub).
For lilo see lilo, for yaboot see ybin.
There's something that gets my attention when making the kernel:
It says that I'm currently running a 2.4.18 kernel and the modules
under /lib/modules/2.4.18 are set up for this kernel. It is building
the new dependencies file modules.dep but it should be rebuilt after
the reboot. May this be the thing that drives me crazy?
Yes the dependencies are updated.
But you will never see the custom.1.0 in the kernel name (just the
package name).

There is two part that come from DRI:
xserver-xfree86-dri-trunk : the xfree server
And the drm kernel module. The message you see is because the kernel
module that is shipped with the kernel is not for xfree 4.2.1.
You need to rebuild your kernel without any drm stuff and get the kernel
module source from the DRI project or by adding the following line in
your /etc/apt/sources.list :
# Daenzer Xfree Stuff
deb http://people.debian.org/~daenzer/dri-trunk/ ./
And get drm-trunk-module-src, then build (using kernel-package) and
install.
That said that only for the 3D part. The server alone should be enough
to get X working.
Good luck,
Christophe

Thanks for the hints.
However, I still have to struggle. Maybe someone will see,
what I'm doing wrong:
I downloaded the packages
- xserver-xfree86-dri-trunk
and
- drm-trunk-module-src
After that I went to the kernel config (make menuconfig)
of the source from the (extracted) kernel package 2.4.18
(/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.18/)
and set up the following things:
Character devices--
{*} /dev/agpgart
selection for all chipsets (yeah, I know, but just to make sure)
[*] Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 DRI support)
--- DRM 4.1 drivers
{*} ATI Rage 128
Wrong. You need:
--- DRM 4.1 drivers
{ } ATI Rage 128
Because 4.1 stands for the X version. You certainly use 4.2.
That's why you have to download and compile drm-trunk-module-src.
Finished the config.
Then:
make-kpkg clean
make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image
You only need to build the drm modules. In /usr/src, untar the
drmi-trunk.tar.gz than in /usr/src/linux do 'make-kpkg modules-image'.
dpkg -i ../kernel_image--2.4.18_custom.2.0_i386.deb
install also the resulting drm package.
shutdown -r now
Wrong.
You need to update your boot loader (unless you use grub).
For lilo see lilo, for yaboot see ybin.
There's something that gets my attention when making the kernel:
It says that I'm currently running a 2.4.18 kernel and the modules
under /lib/modules/2.4.18 are set up for this kernel. It is building
the new dependencies file modules.dep but it should be rebuilt after
the reboot. May this be the thing that drives me crazy?
Yes the dependencies are updated.
But you will never see the custom.1.0 in the kernel name (just the
package name).

Re: Process status D
Process in state D are in an uninterruptible state. You can't kill a D process. Normally process are in D state only during IO operations. Abnormally, persistant D state means deadlock ...

Re: Apt with cd-rom and ftp
That right you should put the cdrom lines at the beginning of your source.list. In my sense, this is a bug. When you install a system, you insert all discs to generate the list of available packages and in the same time they are added in the source.list but after the commented ftp sources. So when the fresh debian user (like me) uncomment the ftp source lines and then all packages are downloaded from internet. When you use a 56k line, it's a problem (so you certainly dicover the problem). !!! The cdrom lines should be added at the beginning during the installation process.

Re: Many install questions
For your USB question, I've compiled a 2.2.18 kernel on my debian potato in order to use a USB mouse (and a internel trackpoint in the same time). First I can tell you that it works really good. I'm able to hot-plug and hot-unplug the mouse and that's a good point for a laptop. There's already USB support in the potato kernel but you need to modify a makefile to see it when you do make xconfig. I don't know if it works for a USB mouse (certainly) because I've figured out HowTo after switching to 2.2.18. For GPM the command is the following : gpm -m /dev/input/mice -t imps2 Note that it's mice and not mouse because the kernel send all mouse events here so you can use simultaneously multiple mice on your USB tree. For X you can use gpm as a repeater (option -R) or configure /dev/input/mice as a imps2 mouse. For my XFree86 4.0.2 I use the following configuration: Section InputDevice Identifier Mouse0 Driver mouse Option Protocol IMPS/2 Option Device /dev/input/mice Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 Option Buttons 5 EndSection Christophe On 2001.01.04 01:40:04 +0100 David B.

I have a well-aged Dell Dimension with, among other things, a Promise UDMA-66 card and an old CDROM drive. I was given 3 CD's of the potato release, and I intended to install this alongside W98 (this disk is already partitioned). By moving the UDMA-66 drive to the onboard EIDE controler, I was able to install from CD's (though it took several hours, either because the CDROM drive gave Read errors, or becasue the CD's were bad...I suspect both.), use APT to change the kernel to one friendlier to my Promise controller, adjust LILO and /etc/vfstab, and get things to---sort-of---work. There were all sorts of s/w missing, that I'd have expected. I tried adding packages from Corel Linux, to fix this, which was a mistake. So, now I'm starting over. Here are my questions (in decreasing order of importance to me) 1) Have other folks had trouble installing from potato CD's, or is it likely mine are bad. 2) Is it possible to install directly to the UDMA drive, on the promise. (Stated differently: can I make an install diskette using the kernel with IDE patches?) 3) Should there have been a file manager/explorer included, when I installed? (There wasn't...if none come standard, are there recommendations? Eazel/Nautilus? Konqueror? Others? 4) Should there have been a GUI package manager? (or is apt-get/dpkg the only way to go?) 5) Is there a printer adder/control panel (a la Corel Linux's)? If it's not standard, is there one other folks can recommend? 6) How can I get my Logitech USB mouse to work with this system? (It's less important, since I still have a psaux mouse from MS) Thanks for any help folks can offer, --- David B.

wvdial for normal user
In order to set a ppp connection as a normal user I have had myself in the dip group (for pppd) and in dialout for my /dev/ttySx. Is this safe ? Now it works but I obtain this $ wvdial provider ... -- PPP negotiation detected. -- Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/pap-secrets: Permission denied -- -- PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) may be flaky. -- Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/chap-secrets: Permission denied -- -- CHAP (Challenge Handshake) may be flaky. -- Starting pppd at Tue Jan 4 23:37:56 2000 But the files are in the group root. Should I changed something or not ? Christophe
Re: Location of gtk-config?
I think the gtk dev files are included in a libgdk-dev package. I'm not sure of the exact name of the package but I remember that I've already fight to find this gtk-config. The problem is that I don't how to fing the (uninstalled) package name containing a specified file. I know how to do that for installed packages but when you need a file it's useless. The only other solution is to download a lot of Contents files and grep these files.
