Crack and cops
I didn't notice crack or cops listed in the Debian 1.1 package listing. I ftp'd crack and had trouble compiling it, discovered many others did, too; found the glitch and fixed it. So, it brings me to an interesting question: Is there a reason why cops and crack aren't in a package yet, other than possibly not having a maintainer? I figured that people might not like making a package like crack quite so plug-n-play, lest the baddie baddies get wind of it. If the only impediment is that they need a maintainer, what do I need to do to enlist? (Probably check the FAQ first, huh?

xterm font in xfree86 3.2
Has the font used by xterm changed in the new xfree 3.2 release? I upgraded to 3.2 from bo the day before yesterday and have found that the nice solid font which xterm used to use has been replaced by a thin, spidery font which is only readable in Huge mode on my screen. I have the following in my ~/.Xdefaults file: *XTerm*foreground: white *XTerm*background: blue white text on a blue background is a lot less painful on the eyes after 10 or more hours at the computer (high contrast, low glare). Unfortunately, this makes it even worse. It seems as if they new xterm font only works when it's black text on a white background (fair contrast, lots of glare, slightly too small but readable at Medium setting and above) The fonts section of my /etc/X11/XF86Config looks like this: Section Files RgbPath/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1 FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Cyrillic FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/PEX FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/freefont/ FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/sharefont/ EndSection I've tried swapping the order of the 75dpi and 100dpi font lines, but that doesn't change the xterm font (it does change the font size used by fvwm-95 in the taskbar and popup menus).

Report: The Transname Patch
Has anyone heard of the Transname Patch for Linux? I downloaded it and am testing it now, and it seems to work very well! There is a version against kernel 2.0.25 on my WWW site that you can have. Transnames promises to greatly simplify management of cluster workstations and large networks by allowing you to mount the root partion of your server as the root '/' partition of diskless or dataless clients! Sharable files are shared, and a suffix is added to the ones that should differ from machine to machine, which indicates to the kernel which version of a file it should let programs see. It does this by adding a filename translation feature to the Linux virtual filesystem layer that is selectable with a set of 'make menuconfig' or 'make xconfig' compile-time options in the filesystems section. The translation is active under directories owned by group 'adm' (configurable). Any filename in a directory of group 'adm' can be given a suffix consisting of a tagtype=tagname pair, and each machine using that filesystem will perform a name translation where it will only see the base filename meant for itself. If you have, say: /etc/init.d/rc3.d#ktype=client# /etc/init.d/rc3.d#ktype=server# ...and /etc /etc/init.d are group 'adm', then the bootscripts on machines with kernels compiled with ktype=server will see the server setups, and ones with ktype=client will see the client setups! The README can explain Transnames better than I can, and you can find it through my page, near the top. I am running a DX4/120 40Mb with a kernel booting from the HD as a server, and on an ethernet I have another machine, a DX33 12Mb, booting from a floppy with ktype=server. The floppy I made using the nfsroot.txt instructions from linux/Docu... It boots using bootp; and the server has the bootp service in my xinetd.conf. The /etc/fstab#host=cherryflower# file mounts the server's /usr and /home partions, and a small 80Mb /aux drive in the client machine. I am able to run programs on either machine, sending their DISPLAYs to the X server on the rootfileserver. A thing we may try: At a local ISP (Internet Arena, inetarena.com), it may become possible to do sysadmin stuff from a workstation downstairs, (allowing the proprietor to keep an eye on his place while he gets some work done so he doesn't have to stay so late doing it after hours.) ...which normally runs Win95, by booting it as a diskless client from a floppy. It will mount the root partition of the Linux box upstairs, configured with the no_root_squash option to allow full access. I am unsure about swap partition shareing between win95 and Linux; perhaps the nfs-swap patch may be the answer here. CAVEATS: I could not get the /tmp directory structure to function the way they show it in their docs; instead, I placed /tmp dirs directly under my / for each machine: /tmp#ktype=server# /tmp#host=cherryflower# There is an option called 'failsafe'. It is meant to make it so that you can create a symlink to the server's version of a suffixed file, so that you can boot your un-transname-patched kernel and still have it find the files. With transname on, that symlink (file or tree) will appear to be a normal file or tree!!! If you 'rm -r' the tree it points to, it will suddenly become a symlink again. So, don't do that. I accidently rm -r'd my log directory, after discovering that both machines can use the same logfiles. (and should) The original patch applies almost cleanly to 2.0.25. There was one .rej which can be easily hand-fixed. Since CVS makes it so easy to do, I've uploaded a patch against 2.0.25 to my website. The patch includes the README under the Documantation directory, and two sample configuration files; the ones I'm using on my two computers here at home. :-) Let me know if you try this; an in-the-list discussion would be WELCOME! -- Karl M.

Creating a user interface under X that is as good as NextStep is just

Re: X is painful
[claws out] [box on] I have to vent. OK, I cannot believe that after HOW MANY years of development, X windows is still such a completely inconsistent and painful user interface. # I think you forgot to include open, free, expandable, flexible, . . . Free, yes. Expandable-- kinda, but not easily. Programming X is as painful as using X. Flexible-- sure... as a matter of fact, it is so flexible that almost *none* of the apps actually work with each other! The STUPIDITY of the whole thing is frustrating. # Oh, really! You would rather have a Mac type world then? # (Pay thru the nose, and get what you get from THE vendor) Hey, at least the Macintosh user interface is CONSISTENT! At least you can use the machine [well, when it doesn't crash] and know that certain fundamental primitives within the User Interface will work *the same*. I'd even go so far as to say the Mac-- in some respects-- is MORE customizable then X because it has a unified toolkit that everyone uses! You simply customize the toolkit and everything changes appropriately! Look-- X has been in development for, what, 10-15 years? As long or longer than the Mac, Windows, or NEXTSTEP... As well, the list of contributors covers all walks of life with the commputer industry-- quite literally the best and the brightest have contributed to X over the years. It is an open box developped with the constraints of 'market realities'. And that environment is supposed to justify the complete piece of crap that resulted? I think not; within that environment, I would think that *at least* one toolkit would have emerged as a sort of standard. Or, at the very least, the plain text pasteboard would work between all fields. From the sound of it, the above statement seems to indicate that BECAUSE X is free, it will always be inferior in quality to pay-through-the-nose UI? Along the same line of thought, one would think that Linux would be inferior to, say, NT or Mac OS. I'd like to think not... For example: Text fields between applications do not work the same. One is not guranteed to be able to copy/paste text between fields. Some fields must have the mouse pointer within them during the editing process, some don't. # The kind of car you and I drive ARE going to be different # (hopefully), cause we are allowed to do so. Just as the # programmers are allowed to express themselves through the # toolkits that they choose and/or write. I'm perfectly happy in a world where things look and act differently-- as long as the differences are because the behaviour is more ideally suited to the application in question. So far the 'differences' have primarily been comprised of just plain crappy UI. Some apps let you double-click to select a word, some don't. Some let you triple-click to select a paragraph, some don't. Some tab between fields, some don't. Some have point to focus within individual fields [tkman comes to mind], some don't. During editing, some are bright enough to realize the user likely doesn't want to lose focus on the field until they take some action to end editing (ie; partial modality), most are not. Yes-- it is WONDERFUL that X supports such a diverse and customizable environment. But that does not excuse the horrible excuses for UI that are rampant throughout the X community! # With X, a user can control the App thru X resources, granted # some of them are alittle brain-dead in this area, but this is # not the fault of X. But X resources have *nothing* to do with little things like some of the behaviour I described above or other trivialities such as There is no inter-application communication or awareness to speak of. # There are several. Again not the fault of X, they exist at a # different layer. There are many more than several. They are *all* incompatible. There is *no* standard means of encapsulating, communicating, or identifying the information that is passed around. The current stuff is just fine for two apps that are tightly bound-- but it just plain sucks within an environment where the user defines what apps will play which roles within their human-computer experience. The window manager has no awareness of what is running-- only what windows are on the screen. Because of this, various 'dock' programs are nothing more than a 'click the button to launch an app' system-- one cannot click on a button second time to simply activate the app in question. # Why should the WM be aware of what is running? # # It is a Window Manager, not a process manager and never was the # developers intentions. Well-- The window manager, as a manager of windows, really ought to know which windows are assigned to which processes. For example, what if I want to hide all the windows but those owned by, say, Mathematica? Hmmm... hiding windows-- sounds

Hello all, just to continue the Fortran saga: it looks suspiciously like the I/O library in f2c and g77 both don't do buffered I/O any longer. This differs from the standard behaviour on other platforms where the WRITE statement produces buffered I/O. Could this be a side-effect of the 5.4.x library? The problem is shown by jobs which have I/O, even to a local disk which never attain 90% CPU usage on the machine. Watching the data with tail -f shows that data is written continuosly, without any buffering of any sort. Please note that the machines are 166MHz pentiums with 430HX motherboards and fast EIDE disks and 64Mb of RAM, i.e. the stuff should be buffered by Linux in any case. The boxes are running Linux 2.0.25. I have a situation where the processor is idle 56% of the time, system usage is at about 1% and jobs only get 40%ish. The same jobs on other boxes (Suns running SunOS or Solaris, DEC alphas with OSF) constantly stay at 90+% cpu usage. A typical vmstat line is: procs memoryswapiosystem cpu r b w swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id [...] 1 0 0 3544 992 304 5340 0 001 152 121 40 2 59 Not very impressive...

Re: X11 bashing
[ Please don't Cc: me when replying to my message on a mailing list. ] Martin Konold: So [Qt] is really free and can be well used for gpled sw. Well, yes, for some definitions of the word free. Free is one of those words that everyone likes to define for themselves. For Debian, the relevant question is whether the package can go into the main Debian distribution, or whether it should be put into contrib or non-free. The answer is found in the policy manual, chapter 2, Package copyright (see /usr/doc/dpkg/policy.html): All packages in the Debian distribution proper must be freely useable, modifiable and redistributable in both source and binary form.[1] It must be possible for anyone to distribute and use modified source code and their own compiled binaries, at least when they do so as part of a Debian distribution. Qt is clearly not suitable for the Debian distribution proper, since we can't modify it ourselves. It belongs to contrib or non-free, instead. As it happens, Troll Tech have said it's OK to put it into contrib. This is good, because then it goes onto more CD's. Packages that use Qt can't go into the Debian distribution proper, either: Packages [- - -] * which depend for their use on non-free or contrib packages[2] [- - -] may only be placed in the semi-supported contrib section of the Debian FTP archives (unless they need to be in non-free - see above). This means that in Debian, KDE goes into contrib. Too bad. There's a number of other toolkits that could have been used, such as V. I don't know about their relative qualities, but the copyright issue is enough to kill interest in Qt and KDE for a large number of people. -- Please read http://www.iki.fi/liw/mail-to-lasu.html before mailing me.

Re: Support for Page Scanners (ie. HP ScanJets)
I have a HP ScanJet 4C here and use it with Debian/Linux. It works great. You have to include the generic SCSI interface to the kernel and install the hpscanpbm package. I prefer xvscan, a patched xv version that allows scanning directly into xv. It's great! Note that you have to pay for this, but it's only US $50. Note also, that you will propably need a little more RAM than what you need if you use Windoze. (It seams as xv consumes much more memory when scanning highres than the Windoze progs do.)

Another PPP Question :(
The biggest problem since I've installed Debian 4 months ago, for me, has been the configuration of dial-up networking. I've installed all the appropriate packages, configured the kernel, and gone through the HOWTOs related to PPP and networking to setup such files as /etc/networks /etc/resolv.conf and others. Yet, I cannot dialup to my ISP and establish a network connection that can recognize systems other than my own. I hope to, on this list, start a diagnosis of this problem with others cooperation. So, first of all, can some kind person submit a connection script and /etc/ppp/options file for a PPP dialup that uses PAP, but still requires an initial login with name and password. Assuming that doesn't work I'll submit all my appropriate networking files to the list for critique.

The only problem is that I still get a timeout(or I just need to re-request the connection) from the kernel. I run FTP, then PPPD dials and connects, but FTP has timed-out.

No CD Now what?
OK so I installed (or tried to install) Debian 1.1.4 from the CD set I picked up at the computer show today. One problem and it's a HUGE one. It doesn't see my CDROM. No matter what I try, no dice. Why is this? I have a Sony CDU-33a which should use the cdu31a driver and it works as such in all other installations, including Redhat, Caldera, and Slakware but Debian refuses to initialize it. At the boot prompt I included (as instructed) the proper parameters as my drive is addressed at 0x320 not the default 0x340. The command I included at the prompt was linux cdu31a=0x320,0 and when installing the driver module after you click install it asks for parameters and I also tried the following parameters there: cdu31a=0x320,0, 0x320,0, 0x320 you name it I tried it nothing worked. It continually returned something like 'cdu31a' symbol not found or nothing then said installation failed. How can I get his thing installed? I do not have enough HD to try it from there. I tried to install Slakware 96 and as I heard it's buggy, Xprobeonly won't even work and therefor no X. Someone please help!

Cannot install kernel module sbpcd with reveal CD drice
Please excuse me if I am wrong in my assumption that this is the correct place to ask a question such as the following... I am really in a bind here. After an agonizing week of waiting, my new debian CD showed up and I got to work installing. Everything went smoothly untill I went to install the kernel modules. I have a 'reveal' cd rom drive (possibly made by panasonic), that connects to the SC400 Reveal 4R sound card. I tried to install the sbpcd module for the kernel during the install, but after taking 5 minutes or so to test a variety of addresses and names (SoundBlaster, Lasersomethingorother, etc), it said that the installation failed. It seemed to get something at 0x230 SoundBlaster (the busy light on the drive went on) but after spending a bit of time there, it just continues. I took those parameters and tried to feed them in manually doing: append sbpcd=0x230,SoundBlaster but it doesnt do anything. I read the CDROM howto, and that was the only advice I could glean from it. As you may have gathered, I am really at a loss here, and would be most grateful for any help offered.

Please do not use Qt
Martin Konold writes: Qt comes with source. Any gpled sw can be distributed with soure or binary of Qt. No, I believe you are wrong (or at least, that the issue is _much_ more complicated than you suggest). The GPL requires: 2. [ source code distribution and modification ] ... b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. 3. [ binary distribution and modification ] ... under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above ... and also a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable. This definitely means that you can't distribute a statically linked binary containing both GPL'd code and Qt, because the complete source code to Qt (strictly, the parts that had been linked into your binary) would have to be distributed under the GPL (which would be a violation of the Qt licence). Whether or not you can distribute a dynamically linked binary depends on the meaning of `executable work'. If in the case of dynamic linking the `executable work' is only the dynamically linked executable then you can distribute it (if as seems reasonable a dynamically linked binary is taken not to `contain' the libraries its linked against, but merely to refer to them). If `executable work' applies only to the ensemble of a dynamically linked binary and the libraries required to run it (which is the position I'd take, because a dynamically linked binary isn't executable on its own) then the paragraph defining the meaning of complete source code for an executable work doesn't apply to the distribution of just a dynamically linked executable. In this case we have to decide for ourselves what the `complete source code' for the executable is, and to my mind that would include the source code for any libraries it was linked against. This interpretation is supported by the fact that the GPL has a special exception for operating system libraries, as you see above. Thus, according to my interpretation of the GPL you can't distribute dynamically linked binaries of GPL'd code linked against Qt. However, even if you disagree with my interpretation and thus think that distributing dynamically-linked binaries is OK, further under section 2 we see: These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program. In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License. Thus if you distribute as a single program GPL'd code which uses Qt together with Qt itself you are in clear breach of the GPL even if you distribute only the source code. Exactly whether something is a `whole work' or `mere aggregation' is often unclear. Furthermore, in the Qt licence we see the requirement: * Your software does not require modifications to Qt. ... and ... If you are paid to develop something with Qt or it is a part of your job the following conditions also apply: * Your software must not require libraries, programs, data or documentation that are not available outside your organization in order to

Re: Deselect issues(was R: Is `.deb' still better than `.rpm'?)
My only complaint is that it autoinstalls updated packages. There have been a number of times that I wanted to grab one new package via ftp install, and came up with 10 megs of updated packages. Here, here...I second this. I know you can confirm what to get but maybe there should be single question to overide this default behavior or something. I am a little confused here - dpkg-ftp prompts you if it should get all the new packages marked for installation or if it should prompt for each one separately. What more do you want? Should the questions be worded better? The problem isn't that I *have to* get everything; it's that it's the default, and the default can't be changed. I ran into this one on a machine that I wanted to keep stable. Unfortunately, I needed to go to unstable to get make-kpkg, and ended up upgrading nearly everything. (This was very early in my Debian career.) I still run into this occasionally when I go to a different site to look for something. Normally, the default is what I want, but there are times when I don't. The problem with using the hold feature is that if I set all updated packages to hold, then do an update, I have holds scattered all throughout the list. One solution would be to hade an unhold feature, which sets the status according to the currently-installed status. I don't understand this. The 'default' behavior of dpkg-ftp is to _ask_ the user if they want to get all of the new/updated packages prior to initiating the ftp connection. If I only want one or two packages right then, I can select only those packages and the rest can be retrieved (or not) the next time I select [I]nstall.

kernel-image-2.0.23_0 in Debian 1.1.14
I have just upgraded one machine to 1.1.14 and the 2.0.23 kernel, and am having some problems with the networking. In particular, running xdm on a remote server (using X -query host) seems to freeze, whereas it works OK when I boot up with the previous kernel version (2.0.6). Is this a problem that anyone else has encountered, or do I need to dig deeper myself?

cfengine?
in cfengine all machines belong to several classes, e.g mail_server = ( tango ) mail_client = ( samba rumba ) home_server = ( samba ) ... In a cfengine-file one can use these classes to perfom any action. But when I want to perform the e.g. the following action copy: mail_server:: do something mail_client:: do something home_server:: do something the script doesn't perform the last entry for home_server on samba, because the host samba already belongs to the class mail_client and a action for this host is already performed.

Re: Report: The Transname Patch
Has anyone heard of the Transname Patch for Linux? I downloaded it
and am testing it now, and it seems to work very well! There is a
version against kernel 2.0.25 on my WWW site that you can have.
Yes, I've been using transname with debian for a couple of months. I have
2 diskless computers that use transname to mount / from my server.
There are some problems getting it to work with debian, notably in the
/etc/init.d/boot file. I think that sysvinit's maintainer has incorporated
one change into it that makes nametrans easier to set up (don't delete
/etc/mtab, just erase the contents of it).

Re: Cannot install kernel module sbpcd with reveal CD drice
Please excuse me if I am wrong in my assumption that this is the correct place to ask a question such as the following... I am really in a bind here. After an agonizing week of waiting, my new debian CD showed up and I got to work installing. Everything went smoothly untill I went to install the kernel modules. I have a 'reveal' cd rom drive (possibly made by panasonic), that connects to the SC400 Reveal 4R sound card. I've got a Reveal 4R sound card and CD in my old 386 running Linux. The CD that comes with the package (in my case) is actually a Goldstar R420. Recompile your kernel to see if that driver works. Does your config.sys for DOS say: DEVICE=C:\DRIVERS\SC400\GCDR420.SYS /D:MSCD001 /V/C /M:P /B:340 If it does, then you definitely have a Goldstar. Fortunately, it's supported by Linux.

Simple as that. But we have some fairly powerful tools at our disposal. Probably the most powerful of which is the shell command line. If we define simple set of shell command line operations to do menus, push buttons, etc., for our purposes, we can provide arbitrary programs to fill those needs. If we do it properly (just focus on providing the semantics we need, from simple commands), we should be able to plug in new programs as technology advances. Note that, in the long run, this doesn't tie us to X. Simple technologies which may lead in the right direction are TK (wish/wishx/expectk/..), and perhaps things like xmessage or 9menu.
