Re: configuring a base system
During installation you get the question from where you want to install the base system, I guess you should choose harddisk and select /dev/hdc1 (or in case you've already mounted /dev/hdc1, choose already mounted filesystem and point to the place you've mounted it). Ron On Wed, 5 Apr 2000, Phil Howard wrote: I was referred to the base system files in a file called base2_2.tgz. I loaded them onto a partition and tried booting, but it wants me to configure them ahead of time. What needs to be done to do that. This machine has no floppy drive or cdrom drive. It does have a rescue partition on /dev/hda1 and the target partition is /dev/hda2. I'll redo it later with multiple partitions but for now I'm getting my feet wet with Debian and checking for actual sizes an stuff to do more planning. Anyway, /dev/hdc1 has a mirror of the potato release from the rsync site, and my plan was to point apt there to finish the install. The install instructions indicated a disk to disk install could be done, but didn't say how.

jserv installation
Hello I am very new to Debian. I installed jserv on my new potato. There were two things I had to change to get it working: 1. in apache/http.conf I had to uncomment the LoadModule line. and I added a line with include ../jserv/jserv.conf 2. in jserv.conf I had to set ApjServLogFile ../jserv.log There was a comment, that said I shouldn't do that. Does anybody know why? It works fine now. # On Unix, this file must have write permissions by the owner of the JVM # process. In other words, if you are running Apache JServ in manual mode # and Apache is running as user nobody, then the file must have its # permissions set so that that user can write to it. # Syntax: ApJServLogFile [filename] # Default: ./logs/mod_jserv.log # Note: when set to DISABLED, the log will be redirected to Apache error log # Debian note: DO NOT SET THIS OPTION HERE - use /etc/apache/httpd.conf! #ApJServLogFile DISABLED ApjServLogFile ../jserv.log If my way was the correct, someone could add this to the README.Debian. Whom should i contact to add this to the README? Thomas
net card nightmare

I had the brilliant thought last night that it was due to the wireless feed bing 10base, so I install a 10base card this morning. I brought it up in the internal network, worked fine, changed the parameters to those of the internet feed, no luck. All the info in ifconfig os definately correct, but I can't ping the router. When I connect the feed to the NT box with the same IP info, it works fine. Any ideas?

crash by installing bad libc5...
We had a working 2.1 system, and by mistake an intern got libc5 and un-tar'ed it. This killed the system, as dynamic loading libraries seemed to get trashed. We tried to recover by booting to a 2.1 CDrom, hoping to then dselect re-install the good libc6, but it had a lot of weird errors; 1) can't write boot sector to logical partition, 2) file error, can't load base-tgz files (after finding them on the CDrom, ..) ... etc. We finally did a re-initialization of the linux partition, and all went well. Q: Why was re-loading from the CDrom broken by a trashed base (root) install on the hard-disk? I would expect that booting to the CDrom would be immune to a messed up target system, almost by definition; as this would be the recovery method. The /target partition was basically intact, could be mounted, browsed, etc, but trying to execute from it would give errors like libcso??... not found. (sorry, not exact..!) Already recovered, but wondering what was wrong and why we could not fix it without a complete re-install. Thanks.

I had assumed it would only download a few upgrades, and/or give me a selection option of packages before such a big download. Yes, put package on hold. Seems like this should be easy, what am I missing? Easy way is to use apt, and put unwant package on hold. Try sth like apt-get update; apt-get install xserver-svga After you configure XF86Config, X should run, IIRC, at least with X. Install your prefer X11 software after that. 2) If I put in various CDroms, does dselect remember what programs are available on each, or do I need to roll all of them through each time I want to find something? I think dselect does remember things, but you have to have dselect-multicd installed.

When, in X, are the resources files ~/.Xdefaults and those in /usr/X11R6lib/X11/app-defaults used, and when are they not used ? From the O'Reilly book 'X User Tools',page 385/6 I understand: if you use xrdb, no application will look anymore in .Xdefaults . I don't think this is the whole truth. Several scenarios are possible: - their role is fixed by the source or some compiled-in option: * they always set the defaults * they only set the defaults if they are not explicitly overridden by the load option of xrdb * they are never used if you xrdb, even if you only use its merge option - their role is completely defined by the use of xrdb: if you don't mention them to xrdb, they are completely ignored.

Install with dpkg only.
Hello, I have an empty harddisk installed, and I want to installing Debian packages to create a working Debian system. I have unpacked the dpkg package (ar -x and then tar xfz data.tar.gz) on my working RedHat system. I now want to install packages using dpkg -i --root=/mnt/debianroot package However, most of the packages fail at some point in the preinstall or postinstall scripts. For example, the post-install script of dpkg-doc can't find the script/program 'install-docs'. It also looks like the paths used in the script do not take the relocation into account. Am I wrong on this? I transferred everything in frozen/admin, frozen/base, any dependent packages, a lot of doc packages and some other tools from additional categories. Can anyone tell me what other packages I have to extract tools from to get the package installation going? Ringo -- ** Ringo De Smet Ringo.DeSmet @ advalvas.be **

This is a fairly common thing to want to do. One good way is to make your editor a script that rewrites your ~/.signature and then invokes your real editor. Another possibility is to make ~/.signature a FIFO (named pipe, see 'man mkfifo'), but last time I tried doing this with pine it didn't seem to work. Some programs will let you set the path to your signature file to be something like '|/path/to/signature-program', but I don't know if pine will let you do this. You might want to have a look at some of the Debian packages which deal with random signatures, like signify and sigrot.

Cannot ssh from woody -- slink
Hi I have a slink-based machine (running the Linux Router Project, actually) that I use as a server, and a workstation I dual-boot with Win NT and Debian woody. I can ssh to the server from (1) itself, using ssh 1.2.26 (2) my workstation in Win NT (using SecureCRT) (3) my wife's Win NT machine, using SecureCRT I can also ssh from the server to the workstation. However, using the latest binaries, I cannot ssh to the server from my workstation running woody. The IP is the same in WinNT mode as in Linux, so there's no firewall on the server preventing this. If I run ssh -v myserver, I see (as best I can recall) something like this: Connecting to myserver [192.168.1.1] port 22. Allocated local port 1023. Connection closed. -- Here are some things I have tried: (1) Both ssh-nonfree and openssh packages (2) Removing and regenerating /etc/ssh/ (3) Removing ~/.ssh (4) Attempting to ssh from a newly created user ID (5) Removing known_hosts from the server (6) Running the server's sshd in debug mode (with -d flag) When I ran sshd in debug mode, it died when I tried to connect from the workstation, with a complaint about not forking in debug mode. Fair enough, perhaps. So, I am now completely stumped! The fundamental issue, I suppose, is why can I ssh in from WinNT, but not from Debian? Has anybody else got a theory as to why this might be happening? Help! Yours, Brian

However, most of the packages fail at some point in the preinstall or
postinstall scripts. For example, the post-install script of dpkg-doc
can't find the script/program 'install-docs'.
This is in the doc-base package, though the current dpkg-doc package (in
potato) doesn't actually require install-docs to be installed (it will
merely take advantage of it if it is).
It also looks like the paths used in the script do not take the
relocation into account. Am I wrong on this?
Yes: this doesn't work the same way as rpm's relocation. The scripts
don't get a choice in the matter (so there's no such thing as a
non-relocatable package); they're run inside chroot(), so as far as
they're concerned /mnt/debianroot/ becomes /. However, *because* they're
run inside chroot(), you need a working system, with all the necessary
libraries, pre-dependencies, etc., in /mnt/debianroot to be able to
install packages this way.
This, however, shouldn't be too difficult. Given what you've described
above, you'll have quite a lot of packages that are unpacked but not
configured, and an unpacked package is likely to at least partly work.
All you should need to do is unpack all packages that have a Priority:
field of required ('dpkg-deb -f package.deb Priority' will show you
this) or that are in the base section, using 'dpkg -i --root' as you've
been doing so far (I see you've done this already); ignore any errors
you see for the time being. This will include installing dpkg on your
Debian filesystem as well as on your Red Hat filesystem, and also make
sure that everything in those packages' Pre-Depends:, Depends:, and
Recommends: fields is installed, just in case.
Then 'chroot /mnt/debianroot' and run 'dpkg --configure -a', which
should set everything up for you. If you get any errors, try running it
again. :) If you still get errors, then you might need a couple more
packages, so lather, rinse, repeat.
I haven't actually tried this myself, but this is roughly the way the
Debian GNU/Hurd installation process works, so it should be OK for you
with fairly minimal tweaking. Good luck!

Re: laptop needs Accel-X, how to best circumvent dependencies

I would like to be able to install the gtk1.2-dev and other various X/GTK related programs. The problem is that all of these have dependencies of xlib6g, xfree86-common, etc. and won't install. I have tried using Q, D and = commands in dselect to no avail. Is anyone else experiencing this? Does anyone else have an alternative X-server installed? How did you circumvent the dependencies? I don't want to start a flame war between Xfree86 and Accel-X or free software versus pay software. I would just like to have my laptop working efficiently. You don't really need to worry about keeping the XFree86 packages at bay. Just install them and let dependencies get handled by dselect. All you need to run Acc-X is to: - make sure /etc/Xaccel.ini exists (run Xsetup) - make sure /usr/bin/X11R6/Xaccel/ and /usr/lib/X11R6/Xaccel exist (from the installation) - make sure that the symlink /usr/X11R6/bin/X points to /usr/X11R6/bin/Xaccel (you may have to reset this periodically as new XFree packages are installed and overwrite it). -- Robb Aley Allan [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Helical Design Myron A.

That would be a bug, if it was true. GMT has nothing to do with daylight saving time, and the dst correction needs to be done whether you are using GMT or not. Umm, I'm afraid that's not the bug. Both my systems dual-boot to Windows and so both have the hardware clocks set to local time and both are running in the Mountain time zone, with DST, without a hitch. Gary
Looking for a good mail program
As a rule I'm very happy reading my mail in Pine through a shell account. However occasionally I receive an attachment that I need to use another program to view. Can somebody recommend a good mail program similar to pine that can handle attachments? I don't want anything too fancy. Also do I need a separate program to fetch my mail off the server and if so which do you recommend? Having all of the software available in the Debian distribution is lovely but I'm finding it difficult to choose from several different programs that do the same thing, especially since the names don't usually mean anything to me.

Fisrt of all, since Debian is not widely supported (as I have noticed; compared to otherdistros such as FreeBSD or Red Hat Linux), there are not many mirrors for me to download Debian sources for my installation. In my case, the only mirror in my country (Indonesia), does not have a complete archive. It is also not up to date... Another thing, is the dselect program: it is quite difficult to use... If you really want more people to use and support Debian, I think you should consider those points I've mentioned above. OK! Thanks! I Gede Wijaya S.

(BTW: I used an american mirror for my installation, and it went absolutely smooth. I get fine transfer rates, even though I'm in Denmark.)

I don't want I'm not sure what you are looking for. All reasonable versions of Pine can save attachments, and recent versions of Pine can cope with attached HTML messages, too. As for attached VCards, graphics, movies, Word documents... I'm not sure what you want your mail program to do with them. Pine allows you to associate external viewers with particular MIME types, which is I think about the best you're going to get. In other words... I don't know what features exactly Pine is lacking. :}

I don't want anything too fancy. you want mutt! mime attachment handling is one of its trademark features (pgp/gpg integration is probably the other one it's most famous for). Plus it has configurable colouring and excellent sorting/threading (and lots more). it probably resembles elm more than pine, but shouldn't be too confusing for you. in fact I believe there is a pine-emulating configuration file floating around... Also do I need a separate program to fetch my mail off the server and if so which do you recommend? depends. mutt has some limited builtin POP support, but it'd be better to use fetchmail. If you want to use IMAP, mutt supports that too, and as of the upcoming 1.2 release should do it rather well (I'm biased, since I've written most of the new IMAP code). Having all of the software available in the Debian distribution is lovely but I'm finding it difficult to choose from several different programs that do the same thing, especially since the names don't usually mean anything to me. most of the time, the names are deliberately meaningless. you can really only experiment or get other's opinions. that's hacker culture for you. -Brendan pgp6xmhYaMF73.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: MST7MDT timezone broken?
Following up on my own original post, I notice that there are at least 4 different versions of MST7MDT on my system, as shown by a 'md5sum `locate MST7MDT`': 4a92b448aa22b9a1884b066cb3436477 /usr/share/zoneinfo/MST7MDT 4a92b448aa22b9a1884b066cb3436477 /usr/share/zoneinfo/posix/MST7MDT 1ac36e9eb32fbeb87af9921ba5b58850 /usr/share/zoneinfo/posix/SystemV/MST7MDT 8fb05b91528a1daf65f13b3d3a651bd8 /usr/share/zoneinfo/right/MST7MDT b4885b6a643d6a8c6e5e1f7de5180650 /usr/share/zoneinfo/right/SystemV/MST7MDT 1ac36e9eb32fbeb87af9921ba5b58850 /usr/share/zoneinfo/SystemV/MST7MDT I can't find any information about what the differences would be.
