I had similar problems in my Raspberry Pi running native Debian arm64,
I have filed this bug about it:

finger causing kernel seg fault

[Michael Grant]

I use tmux on my server.  tmux creates multiple pttys.  When I run 
finger, I see an error like this:


$ finger
finger: /dev//pts/6: No such file or directory

and in the log, I see:

/var/log/syslog:Mar 15 05:06:18 strange kernel: [2740248.159942]

close a tmux window but i have disconnected and reconnected several 
times.  If I start enough tmux windows and one happens to end up on the 
missing pts, the error goes away.  I'm not sure if this is a bug in 
finger, tmux, or something that manages the utmp getting out of sync.  
Any ideas what to do about this?

  The mate desktop on Stretch/Sid is completely borked at the moment.
It
was
caused by the latest update to GTK 3.0. Fixed newer versions of
everything
are expected to be released from mate's GIT repository soon but it may
take
a little while before they make it into Debian. A temporary fix is to
downgrade GTK but that may be more trouble

   I'm told (take it for what's it worth) that the Mate desktop will be

I received mail today from the Mate maintainer indicating the packages
have been updated to 1.16. They should pop up in updates in a

   The updated packages are in Sid which I am now running. I don't know 
how long it will be until they get into Stretch.

Amarok throwing a seg fault in testing

[AG]

Hi all

I've run into a problem with Amarok not starting.  When opened on the CL 
it just reports segmentation fault.  I have amarok-debug installed and 
ran gdb amarok and this is the response:


GNU gdb (GDB) 7.2-debian
Copyright (C) 2010 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
snip
Reading symbols from /usr/bin/amarok...Reading symbols from 
/usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/amarok...done.


I can't find any documentation what file gdb writes to and this output 
doesn't tell me anything.


There are two potential causes:

1. This morning's testing update
2. Installing the nouveau driver for my nVidia card.

Searching on the Net, there is some material from 2008/09 that suggests 
that Amarok doesn't/ didn't play nicely with non-nVidia drivers.  I 
cannot confirm that however.


If the problem is the video driver that's too bad. I like the resolution 
nouveau gives me, but is there anyway of tweaking it so that Amarok 
plays nicely too?


TIA

AG

help with seg fault in aptitude and booting xen

[whollygoat]

This is a recently installed firewalling router/gateway
running Lenny.  For two or three days it has been 
running for long periods with no interruptions in 
connectivity or with booting.

p3 500Mhz slot 1 
seanix columbia sx mobo
   i440bx chipset

Today it suddenly died in the middle of my web browsing.
Didn't think to write down the message on the console
(figured it would be in the logs) but it was an end trace
message like the one below.

When I rebooted with a xen'ified host kernel, the boot 
dropped to an initramfs prompt after waiting a couple of 
minutes for the root file system.

I booted the non-xen kernel thinking that having only just 
removed two xen meta packages.  When I tried to run ncurses
aptitude, the screen was drawn but then stopped with an 
Ouch! segmentation fault.  

I was able to reinstall the two metapackages with command line
aptitude.  Started to surf the web some more and the machine 
died again with the (by hand, so the spacing, capitalization, 
etc might be wrong)

[3700.929083] EIP: [c017119ad] cache_alloc_refill+0xe5/0x44d 
ss: ESP 0068:def89dcc
[3700.929083] ---[ end trace 794d24/daccc4879f ]---


So I tried rebooting with the xen kernel.  As above, the boot
process dropped to initramfs command prompt after waiting one or 
two minutes for the root file system.

Anybody understand what the above means?

Thanks,

willy

FYI: I'm seeing similar problems with Iceweasel. I can run it as root, 
or I can run it from within Icewm, but I can not run it as normal user 
from within KDE.

   Yup. Machine has been restarted - but as I just noted, Sylpheed runs
 as root, just not as a user. 

hmmm... permissions issue that causes a segfault? that's ugly. you
might look at the last few lines of an strace to see what it's trying
to access that cuases the segfault. 

that's all I got.

Frank,

I can't tell if you still have the issue or not, but if you do, open a term 
and type sylpheed or claws-mail if you are running claws.  What does that 
exit message say?

if it only shows segmentation fault, then issue strace sylpheed then look

Use reportbug to report the bug.

Then downgrade libgkt2.0 to 2.12.10-2 that will solve the problem for
now.

ok
that is probably since you have only repositories for one version
in /etc/apt/sources.list
or maybe by your /etc/apt/preferences settings

To be able to downgrade to get around problems like this do I have
both stable testing and unstable repositories in sources.list

You can also download from here:
http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages
and use dpkg -i to install.

But if you don't have a sources.list with the corresponding
repositories can you get problem with dependencies.

Ugh. I prefer the Iceweasel route. I like having it on the install CDs.

 By the way, one thing I don't understand is why Ubuntu still uses the
 Firefox logo and branding, especially regarding Mike Connor's comment
 that

 I have actually been asked recently by another distro
 maintainer whether everyone is on a fair playing field.  Right now, it
 seems to others as if Debian has a special deal, which isn't fair, and
 it needs to change.

 regarding why Debian was still using the Firefox name. Now it seems to
 me that Ubuntu has that special deal. Whenever I ask about, it seems
 that nobody knows, and makes me think that Shuttleworth must have
 signed off some secret deal with Mozilla in order to be allowed to
 keep using the logo and name, even though their Firefox is even more
 heavily modified than Debian's!

 Please correct me if I'm wrong about these observations.

Hello.
Well the same error appeared with my mplayer, after each kernel update.
After reboot, it is corrected in some cases, but not in all. So I'm
re-compiling mplayer from sources (by the way, in this case I'm getting
mencoder also).

Sincerely,

Well I found the solution, clear /var/cache/apt/archives and run 
apt-get update.  So it would appear that something in there (and
those are all supposed to be text files, not binaries) can cause a 
seg fault in apt-get while building it dependency tree - not good.

Unfortunately as the machine is so small I could not keep the files
so I do not have them to submit in a bug report.

disk space in the middle of an update and now every time it tries to 
build its dependancy tree it gets to about 50% and then seg faults.

It is running package apt 0.6.45.

I have copied the old available and status files in /var/lib/dpkg over
the current version, and that has not fixed the problem.

Short of a reinstall, any idea how to proceed?

There is only one partition, and it ran out of space completely (its
only 4GB).  apt-get autoclean segfaults just like the rest of apt-get.

I have now cleared some space.

seg Fault bei ps fax

[Lukas Pataki]

Hallo List,
ich habe ein seltsames Phänomen.
Seit einiger Zeit schmiert mein Rechner immer wieder ab.
Debian /sarge Kernel 2.4.27-2-k7
In den Logs ist nichts zu finden.
Das letzte mal war er nur per ping erreichbar
aber sonst hat keine Service reagiert.(smtp,http,ftp,pop)
Ich bekomme seit neuestem bei `ps fax` ein:

  PID   TTY   STAT  TIME COMMAND
Segmentation fault
---
ps aux kann ich ohne Probleme ausführen
Im exim4/mainlog stand mal was von to many open files, da ist
der Rechner aber nicht abgestürzt.
laut lsof sind um di 4-6 tausend files immer offen. -scheint mir normal.
Ein netstat -at bringt den Rechner auf einen Load von über 200.
Firewall ist keine am laufen.
Wo kann ich den mit der Fehlersuche beginnen ?
danke.luke

Vielleicht kann du mit

sehen, an welcher Stelle und warum er einen segfault hat.

 laut lsof sind um di 4-6 tausend files immer offen. -scheint mir normal.

Wenn
echo /proc/sys/fs/file-max
nicht bedenklich in der Nähe deines Wertes ist sollte das nicht die
Ursache sein.

 Ein netstat -at bringt den Rechner auf einen Load von über 200.
 Firewall ist keine am laufen.

Auch bei netstat -nat, also ohne Namens-Auflösung der IP-Adressen?
Ansonsten käme die Load vom DNS. Allerdings ist 200 erheblich hoch für
solch einen einfachen Vorgang.

 Wo kann ich den mit der Fehlersuche beginnen ?

Filesystem-Check(s)
Wenn dieser Rechner (ohne Firewall) mit dem Internet verbunden ist,
kannst du einen Einbruch ausschließen? chkrootkit installieren und
ausführen?

Ansonsten, wenn der Rechner einfach so stehenbleibt kann es IMHO jede
beteiligte Hardware sein: RAM (memtest laufen lassen),
IDE-BUS/KABEL/Festplatten, Netzteil,...

Evtl. alle nicht benötigte Hardware ausbauen und selektiv testen.

Hi,



Vielleicht kann du mit

sehen, an welcher Stelle und warum er einen segfault hat.
das hatte ich schon durch.
z.b. bekomme ich ein segfault (ab) wenn ich bind starte.
aber laut strace bleibt es immer bei mysql hängen.

..  na ok wenn ich mysql stoppe ist es ok.



Im exim4/mainlog stand mal was von to many open files, da ist
der Rechner aber nicht abgestürzt.
laut lsof sind um di 4-6 tausend files immer offen. -scheint mir normal.

Wenn
echo /proc/sys/fs/file-max

cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max
25388
--sollte passen




Auch bei netstat -nat, also ohne Namens-Auflösung der IP-Adressen?
Ansonsten käme die Load vom DNS. Allerdings ist 200 erheblich hoch für
solch einen einfachen Vorgang.
`netstat -na`

sh: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable

...
nirvana...

auch bei gestoppten bind...
Load über 300

I think something is wrong with your config. Have added yourself the
line above? I don't recall if the default Debian config is good
enough, but i've found this in the cyrus.conf:

lmtpunixcmd=lmtpd listen=/var/run/cyrus/socket/lmtp

 master.cf
 lmtpcyr   unix  -   -   n   -   -   lmtp
 
 main.cf:
 mailbox_transport = lmtpcyr:unix:/var/run/cyrus/socket/lmtp
 

The same for the line above. I think you only need to add a line:

mailbox_transport = cyrus

but i've looked at Cyrus looong time ago, so i don't recall right now
what  needs to be modified. I remember that i've had trouble with the
config cause postfix runs chrooted, so the access to the sasl.db needs
some attention, and something about the quota of the mailboxes...

 Both cyrus-imap and postfix have access to /var/run/cyrus/socket/lmtp. No
 problem there.
 
 In the end I turned on debugging for lmtp in master.cf and added a debug
 command with gdb in main.cf. This is (a small part) of what I get:
 
 -- snip --

 -- snip --
 
 I have no clue as to what is happening. I guess compiling from source is
 one option if I figure out how to convince apt-get to play nice without
 MTA package...
 

I'm in a hurry right now, if you want i can check with more calm later today...

There is a low level tool (can't remember the name and a quick search
through packages.debian.org didn't find it, may also only be in
unstable or testing) but you'd need to know the structure of the fs at
the bits level to use it.
If fsck is able to recover a block (or sequence of blocks) but doesn't
know where they belong it will place them in lost+found (each
partition has one) -- you then need to manually look at the data,
figure out what it is, and cp it to where it should be... not fun, and
really only worth it for stuff you can't just download again or
configure up.
 

what kind of memory requirements does fsck have?  i hope it will be able 
to check a 10gig drive with all these errors with only 32mb of ram+130mb 
swap.

fsck seg. fault Please Help!

hi, the other day my woody machine just kinda stopped working...upon a
reboot i learned via beep-codes that the ram had failed.  i broke out the
shop-vac and cleaned it out and it started to boot...here's where the
troubble began...

none of the rc scripts ran, and many other problems (couldn't login due
to pam libs not loaded, etc.)

i booted to a potato, and later tried woody rescue disks.  running fsck
-p /dev/sda2 tells me to run manually.did that and there were
thousands of problems that were repaired, but then fsck caused a
segmentation fault!

here's some of the output...
cleared a few illegal blocks
Unable to andle kernel paging request at virtual address blabla hex
current-tss.cr3 = 08d18000, %cr3 = 08d18000
if you want all the stack dumps etc, let me know
Code: 8b 12 39 78 04 75 f3 39 68 08 75 ee 66 39 70 0c 75 e8 89 c2
Segmentation fault

HELP ME! i need to recover my home directory!  i've learned my lesson and
promise to make use of my tape drive from now on to backup!

but seriously, what other utils can i use instead of fsck to repair the
drive?

when i mount the partition, i can ls / fine, but ls /home/matt lists one
directory, then reports .:input/output error

thanks,

Real Producer seg fault in unstable

[Antony Gelberg]

Hi all,

I have an odd issuer since upgrading to unstable.  I DJ on a radio
station that has a Real Networks server (worse luck!), hence I use Real
/ Helix Producer to broadcast my show.

However, it is now segfaulting:

antgel $ producer -ac /dev/dsp0 -o /tmp/tmp.rm
Helix(TM) Producer Basic 9.0.1 from RealNetworks(R). Build number:
9.0.1.250
Initializing  Errors: 0 Warnings: 0Segmentation fault

It used to work like a dream and is especially odd as I haven't upgraded
my kernel or modules.

The emu10k1 module is loaded and happy.

Whilst I'm not expecting anyone here to have tried this software, I'd
like to know if anyone has any ideas for debugging something like this.

If anyone is really feeling helpful, the binary can be downloaded from:
http://forms.real.com/rnforms/products/tools/producerbasic/  :)

threads seg fault

[Mathias]

Bonjour,

Je viens de télécharger les sources de firestarter et de dia (les
dernières versions sous gtk2.

La compilation se passe sans problème, mais lors de l'exécution j'ai
droit à un segmentation fault (aussi bien pour dia que pour
firestarter).

Avec gdb j'ai droit à (pour les deux progs) : 

[New Thread 1024 (LWP 22884)]

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
[Switching to Thread 1024 (LWP 22884)]
0x409b4a41 in __errno_location () from /lib/libpthread.so.0

J'ai googlé sur le sujet et j'ai effectivement trouvé quelques threads
(c'est le cas de le dire ;), sur le sujet mais rien de tres probant.
Il semblerait qu'il y ai un rapport avec la glibc-2.2.5.

J'ai installé les GNU pthreads, est ce que le problème peut venir de là?
J'avoue que je suis un peu perdu, donc si quelqu'un s'est déjà retrouvé
avec ce problème...

Merci d'avance, 

Mathias.

Deux solutions : un problème avec une barrette de RAM, ou le processeur
qui fait des siennes. Pour le premier, tu peux tester avec memtest86, et
pour le second, il faut changer de processeur...

Tu veux dire un Ooops du noyeau ?
C'est exactement le genre de truc, avec les segfaults intempestives, qui
arrive :
- Si ta RAM est moisie
- Si ton proce chauffe trop (attention overclock)

Tu peux essayer de ralentir la RAM dans le BIOS, ou de ralentir ton
proce, et voire ce que ca donne (le probleme etant que tu ne saura pas
tout de suite si ca va mieux... Il faut voire a la longue si tu as
encore des histoire dans ce genre ou si ca disparait completement.)

 Et là je me dis qu'il chauffe peut etre un peu trop: 64 degrés au démarrage
 pour un Duron 800 ça me parait beaucoup...Est-ce que mes seg fault

seg fault intempestive avec dpkg

[Didier Conchaudron]

Salut à tous,

Depuis que j'ai installé une woody/testing dpkg me fait des seg fault en
permanence.
Cela intervient pendant des mises à jour avec apt-get:
Voici le message que cela me donne:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg received a segmentation fault

Est-ce que ma libc est HS (pourtant elle est fraiche!)?
Sinon avez-vous d'autres idées?

Merci d'avance.

tetex-bin upgrade fails due to seg fault

[Frederik Vanrenterghem]

Hi all,

I tried a dist-upgrade earlier, and the upgrade of tetex-bin fails:

 Errors were encountered while processing:

  E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Also, if I run initex, following error appears:

Is this a known problem?

Thanks,

the set up window appears, i click on systemwide setup (or anything) and
win4lin seg faults.  i've set this up on other debian (woody)

situation before, but i can't recall when/where/what the solution was.

2.1 - 2.2 apt-get dist-upgrade issue... SEG FAULT

[Michael Fox]

I have a slink box running on kernel 2.2.17, and I have updated my
/etc/apt/sources.list to point to potato 2.2 tree.

I have ran apt-get update.

Now if I run apt-get dist-upgrade, or anything else apt-get related other
then update... it seg faults.

Anyone care to explain what is happening?

Seg fault in xawtv with webcam3 USB

[Ivan J. Varzinczak]

Hi, folks!

I think I've solved the problem with /dev/video device for the 
webcam3 USB camera. Now I have another problem: everytime I run xawtv
it gives a segmentation fault. I have another camera, a webcam 2
parallel, and it works very fine. I've checked the modules for the USB 
one and they seem correct, so I think it could be a problem related
with some X configuration. Below it follows the result:

The questions are: 

-With the webcam2 I don't get the /dev/video: no overlay support
message. What does this message mean? 

-Does this have something to do with the monitor resolution or X
configuration?

Any help will be very appreciated.

Re: seg fault

[Andrew Chung]

 With my current installation of Corel Linux, I am getting more
 segmentation faults, and they are with programs that did not have this
 problem with my previous install (Adobe Acrobat, for one).
 
 I don't see segmentation in the indices of the Running Linux or
 Learning Debian/GNU Linux books.

This usually means that the program expects library versions that are not
binary compatible with what you have. Check the system requirements for the
programs.

If you have access to the source code, a simple recompilation should do the 
trick. Otherwise install an older version of whatever library is needed.

[off-topic] setrlimit()/C++ new() seg fault

[othman]

Hi,

I've been experimenting with limiting the amount of memory available to
a process by setting its data segment resource limit from within the
process by using setrlimit().  I've been testing if this technique
would work by attempting to allocate more memory on the heap than the
limit set in setrlimit() call.  Unfortunately, I get a seg fault in the
standard C++ library (gcc 2.95.2 on a potato box).

I'm not very familiar with the behavior of setrlimit() so please let me
know if I'm doing something silly.

Here is the test program:

// -
#include sys/time.h
#include sys/resource.h
#include unistd.h
#include cstdio
#include cerrno

#include new

#include iostream

int
main (int, char *[])
{
  struct rlimit r;

  r.rlim_cur = 1000;
  r.rlim_max = 1;

  if (::setrlimit (RLIMIT_DATA, r) != 0)
::perror (setrlimit);

  int *b = 0;

  try
{
  b = new int[5L];
  
  delete [] b;
}
  catch (std::bad_alloc)
{
  std::cout  caught bad_alloc exception  endl;

  return 0;  // Success
}

  std::cerr  Allocated more than what should be available.  endl;

  return 1;  // Failure
}
// -

Here is back trace from the core dump:

Wordperfect 8 seg fault

[Stephen . Murphy]

Any ideas why Wordperfect 8 seg faults immediately
on start-up?

Wordperfect 8 seg fault

[Stephen . Murphy]

Thanks for your reply - I've been thinking
along those lines - I actually installed libc5 quite
early on. 
Am I right in thinking if ldd xwp shows all the 
libaries can be found then that is not the problem?

I understood that as long as the library path is listed in
/etc/ld.so.conf then the library  should be locatable
at run time and presumably by the ldd command. However
ldd could not find the libraries, nor could they be

Re: Wordperfect 8 seg fault

[aphro]

ldd may show all the libraries but there may be conflicts.. hard to
explain cuz i hardly understand myself, but i will say that my
wordperfect8 was broken for several months(as was realvideo player and
other libc5 apps) because of misconfiguration of libc5, eventually i
started playing with it, and got it working..now the only libc5 app i cant
get running is xview.

sorry i cant help u more!

 I understood that as long as the library path is listed in
 /etc/ld.so.conf then the library  should be locatable
 at run time and presumably by the ldd command. However
 ldd could not find the libraries, nor could they be
 found at run time unless I put the path in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH

you need xpm***-altdev, I generally just install everything with xpm in

Enlightenment Seg Fault

[Kelly Corbin]

Problem:  Enlightenment seg faults with the sound turned on.  It plays
the intro sound, and then crashes if I hit a button.  Gnome sounds work
as well as CD sound if I use Enlightement-without-sound.  Any ideas?  I
have a Crystal CS4236 on-board sound chip compiled into the kernel. 
Thanks.

I have the same problem, but only when enlightenment sound is turned on.
the problem started when I upgraded to the latest potato packages.

 Hi, I haven't undated my 5.2 to 5.3, but I got 5.2 working after some
 mucking about.  My problem was that I had created some symlinks in /usr/lib,
 which was causing the problem.  
 
 I eventually found the problem by stepping though the script which calls
 matlab, because it actually changes some of the library linking stuff.  Walk
 through the lines of that file until you come to the place where you 
 start /usr/local/matlab/bin/lnx86/matlab and do the ldd there.  Then check
 the links of all the libraries mentioned there.  Check that every library
 used has been installed by a proper debian package if you suspect you made
 the same mistake I did.

See if you can get the libdl, libXt, libX11, libXpm, libSM, libICE and
ld-linux libs that MATHWORKS compiled the MATLAB binary against and stick 
them in one of the Matlab 5.3 directories, probably
/usr/local/matlab5.3/sys/os/lnx86, listed below in your ldd output. 
The libs that it is currently pulling in are compiled against libc6 and
that is why it is pulling in libc6 as well.  Ask them to stick all the
required libs on there ftp site somewhere(as I am sure others will have
the problem as well), they currently have all the libs for 5.2 at 
ftp://ftp.mathworks.com/pub/tech-support/outgoing/linux/matlab5.

This is what I have for my copy of 5.2:

 !ldd /usr/local/matlab5/bin/lnx86/matlab

Telnet and dselect seg fault

[David Boisvert]

Hello!

I have a little problem with telnet and dselect.  I'm not new with
Linux.  I've my own network of 4 x86 with slackware running on it and
one P100 with debian running on it.  This is  the 2nd time I've
installed debian gnu linux on my P100 box.  The first time, everything
was ok in the 2 first week, but the week after the 2nd week telnet and
dselect start to core dump. I think that's not the fault of linux but
the fault of the hardware, but I'm not sure of that. I've maid some
check to verify if the shared library were ok  : 


$ ldd /usr/bin/telnet == 
/usr/bin/telnet:
libncurses.so.3.4 = /lib/libncurses.so.3.4 (0x4000e000)
libstdc++.so.2.8 = /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.8 (0x40053000)
libm.so.6 = /lib/libm.so.6 (0x40098000)
libc.so.6 = /lib/libc.so.6 (0x400b3000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 = /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x4000) 

And everythings look ok. 

$ ldd /usr/bin/dselect
libdpkg.so.0 = /usr/lib/libdpkg.so.0 (0x4000c000)
libncurses.so.3.4 = /lib/libncurses.so.3.4 (0x40023000)
libstdc++.so.2.8 = /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.8 (0x40068000)
libm.so.6 = /lib/libm.so.6 (0x400af000)
libc.so.6 = /lib/libc.so.6 (0x400c8000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 = /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x4000)

So, that's the problem, dselect and telnet crash and and don't know
why.  

So, if someone have this problem with or without a solution, mail me.

dselect seg fault after dpkg upgrades

[Britton]

I have been working lately on upgrading to hamm.  In an effort to fix a
problem with dpkg-ftp, I upgraded to the following packages:

dpkg_1.3.0.20.deb
dpkg-ftp_1.4.9.deb

But now when I try to run dselect I get a segmentation fault.  This is
perhaps not too surprising, considering that I havn't (to my knowledge) 
upgraded dselect since before making the jump to libc6, whereas the new
dpkg (which mayby is called by exec* or something?) probably uses libc6. 
The next obvious thing to try was upgrading via dpkg to the latest version
of dselect, but I couldn't find it.  Does it go by an odd name or live
somewhere other than the obvious /debian/hamm/hamm/binary-i386/base?
Mayby you need diety with hamm?  Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Britton

RE: dselect seg fault after dpkg upgrades

[Fulgham, Brent/SCO]

I have been working lately on upgrading to hamm.  In an effort
to fix a
problem with dpkg-ftp, I upgraded to the following packages:

dpkg_1.3.0.20.deb
dpkg-ftp_1.4.9.deb

I think you need to upgrade to dpkg-dev to get a working dselect.

Base14 seg fault (msgId for labeling)

[Donny DaLee, ProSoft]

Hello,

I recently started trying to install Debian and have been running into
problems with the base14 1-4 disks.  The disks are read correctly, but when
the files are extracting, I get:

Segmentation fault
Segmentation fault
Segmentation fault

I've downloaded the base14 files again and created new floppies on two
machines with no luck.

I am VERY new to UNIX/Linux and don't much about this type of error, however
I think it has something to do with a corrupt file on the distribution.  I
obtained the Base14 files from ftp.debian.org (current) and downloaded
twice.  The floppies were created on Win95 systems using rawwrite2.exe.

I did get the system up, but man doesn't exist on the system and the only
book I have is Teach yourself UNIX (very beginner).  I says nothing about
installing the system, connecting to the Internet or a LAN; only how to
navigate the directories, manipulate files and use some of the tools I am
vaguely familiar with from experience in setting up Web sites on remote Web
servers (Telnet).

I would assume that the Segmentation fault error indicates that the Base
system has not been completely installed?  Out of frustration, I did
something like gunzip -r /* to uncompress the rest of the files installed
late last night.  This may not have been a good idea, but the system still
functions and I have gotten quite used to running the install.  ; )  Figured
I had nothing to lose!

I have a plethora of additional problems, but here are some good ones to
start with:

Connecting to the local network
(Win95 LAN is running Ethernet TCP/IP and IPX
but I don't know the appropriate IPs for
the 2 Network systems, net mask,) anything else for that matter
Accessing the floppy drive
Accessing the modem in an attempt to reach the debian FTP site
(or the Internet for that matter)
On and on and on...

Any help in any area will be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Donny
