Don't know why, but I have several zip disks, some where the uabale partition is /dev/sda1 and others where it is /dev/sda4. Maybe it has something to do with whether you formatted the zipdisks using Linux or Windows? By default, Zip disks from the factory are partitioned as /dev/sda4. That's just Iomega's standard practice, there is no technical reason why it must be so. By using the Linux fdisk command, you can repartition a Zip disk as /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2 or /dev/sda3. Actually, I believe this is done so that older versions of MacOS (which uses its own partition map and saves the first three partitions for system use) could use PC zip disks with the msdos fs driver installed on the mac. partition 1: Apple partition map partition 2: Apple disk driver code partition 3: Updated disk driver or free space for such partition 4: first fs partition If you aren't already familiar with the fdisk command, it wouldn't be a bad idea to practice with it on a Zip disk (a Zip disk with no important data on it!). It's much safer to practice using fdisk on a Zip disk than on your hard drive. Run fdisk /dev/sda and have fun playing with the menus. Once you've changed the partition information, you may have to reformat the disk with mkfs. Oh, and to throw a spanner into the works, the official spec for the IDE/ATAPI zip drive allows the drive to hide the first track (with the partition) table from the IDE interface and pretend that it's a single msdos fs. So if you use a disk with custom partitioning, be prepared that it might not work in an IDE zip drive. My dualboot system's BIOS sets this, so the custom Debian installer image I was playing with cannot work any longer. -- Ferret I will be switching my email addresses from @ferret.dyndns.org to @mail.aom.geek on or after September 1, 2001, but not until after Debian's servers include support.

difficulty with autofs mounting my home directory
I can't figure this out.. I want a consistant directory structure across my network, and I want to have all my nfs-mounts using autofs4. The problem: I have my home directories under /share/acct/, and I have extra project space from another server under /share/projects, and I have an mp3/ogg archive on that same server under /share/music. If I use the autofs package to mount the /share/acct export, it will 'hide' everything it doesn't manage under /share. So /share/projects and /share/music will be hidden. Hidden from the nfs-server on this machine. I discovered a partial workaround, by making autofs manage /share/.autofs and symlinking /share/projects - /share/.autofs/projects, and /share/music - /share/.autofs/music. But if I do this with /share/acct - /share/.autofs/acct, little things break in annoying ways. The PS1 prompt in bash now displays /share/.autofs/acct/idalton instead of ~ for my home PWD, for example.

Can't do 72dpi, but you can do 75dpi, which is close enough. Take a look at your font path (in /etc/X11/XF86Config by default on potato; this may well be different for woody/sid). Make sure the 75dpi entries precede the 100dpi entries, then restart X. [80 cols, again.] Maybe I did not make my question clear, or perhaps I'm just to dumb to understand the answer. Let me elaborate. As I increase the resolutin (more pixels) on the screen, the font's just get smaller. I don't think this is the way it should work. I suspect I have something configured wrong. At one point in time, during the install I was asked what size monitor I had, I answered 17. Well now I have a 19 atached to this system. How do I tell X what the dimensions of the screen are, so that it can display say a 12 point font as something aproaching a real 12 point typeface, instead of some unreadably small size? Ah. Now I understand. Rather unfortunately, this may not be possible. There's a great deal to X font handling that I'm still learning, so it's possible that I'm overlooking something, but I don't think we can do this. As far as I can tell, X generally treats fonts in terms of pixels, not points. I don't know of a feature through which you can automatically rescale every font. You can usually change the fonts on an application-by-application basis, typically through X resource database settings. Or, you can follow my earlier advice, but since your fonts are too small, put the 75dpi entries *AFTER* the 100dpi entries. This won't change everything, but it will help. If anyone else knows a better way to address this, please let us know; I'm sort of curious myself. I know a little bit about this, being pedantic enough to want to set up X 'correctly'. Xfree86 4.0.x has better display size support than 3.3.6. 3.3.6 assumes that you have square pixels, and you have to tell it the DPI for your monitor. 4.0.x has a config file option for the horizontal and vertical displayed area in milimeters, per monitor. The best method I've come across to measure the display is to use the gimp1.2 display calibration tool which will pop up a ruler you can measure against (similar to the one in windows) and do all the calculations, then you just divide the resolution by gimp's monitor resolution in px/mm to get the displayed area in mm, and plug that into X, in the DisplaySize line. Here's the section from my config. Section Monitor Identifier CTXmonitor VendorName CTX ModelName 17 incher HorizSync 31.5-75.5 VertRefresh 50-100 DisplaySize 321 238 Modeline1280x1024 108.00 1280 1308 1420 1688 1024 1025 1028 1066 +hsync +vsync EndSection Remember, this is for XFree86 4.0.x I still haven't figured out how to arrange the font path for best efects yet, and we still have I don't know how many apps that still use pixel-sized fonts...

I had to compile perl-5.6 and then debconf from sid on my woody box in order to build the 0.5.10 alsa-driver package with kernel-package. A local (non-debianed) alsa driver will of course compile and install by hand just fine.

Making onboard serial ports share interrupts is vudu. Basically the serial port 'hardware' can either hold the interrupt line or let it 'float' when it isn't signalling an interrupt. If it holds the line, that means the other port can't signal properly, and then more often then not neither port will work until reset. All you can really do is try it out to see if it works or not. Read something in 2.4.1 kernel config about making serial ports nice to one another when on same IRQ.. anything similar in 2.2.x? Should I go to 2.2.18 in interim? Will I need a custom compile? ... Will Danger Mouse save Penfold in time? :) You do need to enable sharing serial interrupts. -- Ferret

Re: how do I pick gnome-terminal's meta key?

Is there a way to tell gnome-terminal to use meta instead of alt? thanks, -Cliff [EMAIL PROTECTED] (You've noticed you can't M-TAB in emacs under a terminal when you're using Enlightenment?) I had the same problem with gnome and Enlightenment, and I'm not sure anything will be done about it. Emacs uses the ICCCM standard method of parsing its keyboard and mouse events. From memory: Shifting keys have a keysym and a modifier bit bound to them. ICCCM tells us that the specific modifier bit bound to a shifting key does not matter, so long that the SAME modifier bit is bound to all instances of that shifting key's keysyms (L_Meta, R_Meta) and ONLY those keysyms (can't use the same bit for L_ALT, R_ALT as well) Gnome and Enlightenment don't use this convention. From memory: They use a specific modifier bit (I think mod3 - whatever L_ALT is usually bound to for the modifier bit) and completely ignore the keysym. So if you had (L_Shift, R_Shift) using mod3 (as you can do under ICCCM) your shift keys will not work as expected. ;) I emailed Raster (E's author) about it several months ago, and he did not seem particularly interested in even partial ICCCM keyboard handling. I'd suggest contacting Gnome and submitting the current behaviour as a bug, and see if they don't close it on you. -- Beiad Ian Q. Dalton

ke_an another problem is that I get error

ke_an 2.0.36 kernel everything was ok.
the first is a very normal message, comes on systems that use VIA
chipsets(as far as i've seen) it is not an error. i build quite a few MVP3
based linux boxes and all give the same message, never had a problem on
em.
I have the same message on my Intel 430TX chipset. I think it's common
to the DMA-enabled drivers.
the second is also normal, most likely the system is trying to add a route
after brining up the interface for the ethernet card. in 2.0 this had to
be done manually, in 2.2 this is automatic so it spits out an error
because that route already exists. its normal, if you plan on going back
to 2.0 for whatever reason i suggest keeping that setup as the
error/warning is harmless(from what ive experienced)

I have an Xpert @work 98 (PCI 8MB) and it works fairly good in X, not so good in console yet (SVGAlib support is iffy/depreciated, fb is still being worked on) There is a GLX (3D hardware acceleration/opengl) module in development at utah-glx.openprojects.net (I think) which I found while looking for Matrox info, interestingly enough. On my K6/233, my framerate jumped from about 0.2fps with software rendering to about 37fps with hardware acceleration (as according to the gears demo in the Mesa source) I hear the AGP cards work better (but you neet the agpgart support from the development kernel) but I have none to test. And 16bpp seems to be a bit faster on the rendering. Hope this helps. I am getting a new system (Intel Celeron 466), and want a card that will work well with that and a 17 monitor. It should be good for normal X usage at resolutions at and over 1280x1024x32, games, etc. Thanks, Wim Kerkhoff [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.canadianhomes.net/wim -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null
Re: IOmega
I think the problem is systemic to removable fixed disk drives in general. I've had the problem with Syquest 250MB and the sparq 1GB drives. As far as I can guess it's a problem with lower physical tolerances combined with greater environmental contact, especially dust. Actually, I've found LS120 media to be most reliable altogether, but YMMV. On Wed, Feb 23, 2000 at 04:11:39PM -0600, Timothy C. Phan wrote: Hi All, Thank you for you comments about the JAZ. This what I afraid about. I was going to use it for mirror the Debian distribution as well as backup device. I thought JAZ would be better than SyJET which I have quite a few. This SyJET would have the same symptoms that you described. It sometime would cause system to have problem reading other scsi device while the SyJET just sit there do nothing nor mounted. For weeks, I thought it was scsi controller, the harddrive and even CDR recorder until one day I loaned the SyJET to my friend for couple weeks. Within this couple weeks that the SyJET was not connected, I did not experience any problems... Aaron Solochek wrote: Unfortunately, I must agree with this. I have had a 2gb jaz for 1.5 years or so. I've replaced all of my disks twice, and the drive 4 times. Granted, iomega is good about replacing the stuff, paying shipping both ways and such, and when the disks and/or drive fails, you only lose a few files, it is a big pain in the butt. I still have my jaz drive, I use it seldomly. When it does work, which, for fairness, is most of the time, it is great, but don't bank on being able to recover the media. I use it as temporary space. Iomega did tell me though that the problem could be related to a compatibility with my adaptec 2940u2w, which at the time was an embedded controller. They had patches avalible, or, maybe adaptec had patches avalible, but it didn't matter anyways, since they were only for the retail 2940. -Aaron Solochek [EMAIL PROTECTED] kmself@ix.netcom.com wrote: On Wed, Feb 23, 2000 at 09:35:18AM -0600, Timothy C. Phan wrote: Hi, Does IOMEGA JAZ 2GB EXT SCSI DRIVE work well in Debian or Linux in general? Anything should I be aware of before go out and buy the JAZ drive? No. It does not. It will work. For a while. Jaz is essentially just another SCSI device. However neither the media nor the drives are reliable under long (or short) term use, in my experience. My experience is a Jaz drive and six disks purchased since 1997. I've replaced the drive three times, as well as four disks. Under Linux (RH 4.2, 5.0, 5.2, and Debian Potato), any media ultimately starts returning sense read (or is it read sense?) errors after time. When these get sufficiently bad, the system locks up. I recently asked an open session at BALUG what I could do to improve operability of the drive under Linux. The consensus response was tell us how far you can throw it. For a price-storage ratio, a large EIDE drive is going to be a much better investment -- 10-40 GB for roughly the cost of 2-3 GB of Jaz storage. For archival and backup, I'd recommend tape backup (I use an HP Surestore DAT 2GB), or CD-W. For removable, reusable storage, the Zip is a de facto standard (though I'll refuse to spend another dime on Iomega), the Imation Superdisk allows transfer of up to 120 MB at a pop and is compatible with existing 3.5 ff diskettes. If you have a budget, you might want to evaluate MO (magneto-optical) devices. In a roughly 3.5 ff they offer 1GB of storage, though the double-sided devices only offer access to one side at a time. Read/write performance is significantly slower than pure magnetic media, though faster (IIRC) than CD-ROM. In particular, the write cycle requires three passes (thermal, write, verify). Massive components make random access seek times very high, though sequential read performance is much better. MO reliability is quite high. Drive and media are relatively expensive. Media are reusable, though most are rated for only a few hundred write/rewrite cycles. Particularly telling: reading through Wired's masthead credits a couple of years back, I noted that though ad space was dominated by Iomega, their internal storage solution was MO. -- Karsten M.
