mondo/mindi failure

X11 startup permission problem
I have a system that when it boots reports that X11 couldn't start, and if I then try to start it manually (startx), it says: /tmp/.X11-unix has suspicious ownership, not root:root and It is actually: nobody:nogroup If I change it, and then do startx, it works. but then later at a reboot it fails again. ??

Eth0 promiscuous mode ??
When I boot my system in the boot sequence (after starting etho interface) I get a message; device eth0 entered promiscuous mode device eth0 left promiscuous mode And then these continue to trickle out.. Never saw this before on this machine, something wrong?? Thanks. Gregory Guthrie [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

cloning Debian?
I have a working system, and want to clone it to a bigger, newer, faster one, keeping the old one as a backup... I looked at a lot of options, (Dolly, G4u, ...) including Cloneit, and Partimage, but have trouble with both. Cloneit; http://www.ferzkopp.net/Software/CloneIt/CloneIt.html I find is very unreliable, it works for awhile, but the cloned image was no good. It also only reports a very small %age of the actual size sent that needs to be copied. (I am running it from a SystemRecover CD - http://systemrescuecd.sourceforge.net/download.en.html ). Partimage; http://www.partimage.org/ I find that it works OK for local image save/restore, but for remote (server) usage, it starts, then hangs. E.g. I have a 866 MB /usr, an it reports it properly, starts, says it transferred 12MB to remote (image save), and then hangs. Remote shows a 105MB .tmp file. Both sides are then stuck, need to be killed. It is repeatable. Since it starts, I think it should finish! :-) Any ideas on remedies, or other /better ways to do a remote clone? I've spent way too much time trying things that should work in a simple manner! I can't just do a remote NFS copy of the live (booted) partitions (I think). Thanks.

Tomcat4+Apache - Install trouble on Debian?
I'm having trouble with tomcat4+Apache(1.3) on Debian; I find that tomcat, and tomcat4, don't install properly from the regular stable apt-get packages. After much research on lists, FAQs, etc, there are lots of hints, do-it-yourself configurations, and other changes to try and conflicting recommendations(!), but I'd like to reduce the additional time involved (spent far too much already!); can't I just do an apt-get install tomcat4, and libapache-mod-webapp and have it work? Basically Tomcat seems to work fine standalone (port 8180), same for Apache (port 80), but I cannot get connected to Tomcat via apache. I first installed libapache-mod_jk, but it looks like that just adds an include to /etc/apache/httpd.conf which includes the empty file: /var/lib/tomcat/conf/mod_jk.conf -- which seems to be empty on purpose!? It does also indicate: JkWorkersFile /etc/tomcat/jk/workers.properties So, this looks like a null-connection from Apache to tomcat; and indeed Apache doesn't dispatch .jsp's to tomcat. I did (then) install libapache-mod-webapp, and added the lines to httpd.conf (as requested in tomcat4/server.xml), but still don't get apache to dispatch .jsp's to tomcat. The LoadModule seems to work fine; and logs this: 2003-07-31 11:06:04 [org.apache.catalina.connector.warp.WarpConnector] Connection from localhost/127.0.0.1:1998 to localhost/127.0.0.1:8008 But this uses mod-webapp, so now httpd.conf has two connectors? # LoadModule webapp_module libexec/mod_webapp.so WebAppConnection warpConnection warp localhost:8008 # WebAppDeploy examples warpConnection /examples/ (Won't work..?) IfModule mod_jk.c # The following line is for apacheconfig - DO NOT REMOVE! JkWorkersFile /etc/tomcat/jk/workers.properties Include /var/lib/tomcat/conf/mod_jk.conf # added: GRG (from http://katanalynx.dyndns.org/~ajar/code/howtos/debian-tomcat4.html ) Include /etc/apache/mod_jk/tomcat.conf /IfModule Symptoms: 1) From Apache .jsp's are just sent, not run. 2) I cannot use any of the webapp directives in httpd.conf; e.g. # WebAppDeploy examples warpConnection /examples/ # WebAppInfo /webappinfo Both give: Invalid command, perhaps mispelled? 3) the /examples (Tomcat) front pages come up, but then cannot access the servlets... (or JSPs) Hints? :-) Gregory Guthrie [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Debian Tomcat+Apache, failures after upgrade.. (PoolTcpEndpoint) ([jk_uri_worker_map)
I have a problem with Apache(1.3.22)+Tomcat(3.3) after a recent update: I have a working Linux (Debian 2.2.17) system, and am running Apache+Tomcat. Having not used it for awhile, or updated in 4-6 months, I did an apt-get install of tomcat and Apache, to get the most current versions. It did an update, and now it is somewhat broken. -( All services seem to work (although that took some fiddling, the install was not correct (some bad ROOT only file permissions)), including all servlet and .jsp examples, but I get huge tomcat logs; about every 5-seconds I get a logging of: /var/log/tomcat/stdout.log: PoolTcpEndpoint: Endpoint ServerSocket[addr=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0,port=0,localport=8081] ignored exception: java.net.SocketException: Socket closed java.net.SocketException: Socket closed at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.close(PlainSocketImpl.java:408) at java.net.Socket.close(Socket.java:383) at java.net.ServerSocket.implAccept(ServerSocket.java:206) at java.net.ServerSocket.accept(ServerSocket.java:181) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.PoolTcpEndpoint.acceptSocket(Unknown Source) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.TcpWorkerThread.runIt(Unknown Source) at org.apache.tomcat.util.threads.ThreadPool$ControlRunnable.run(Unknown Source) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java) PoolTcpEndpoint: Endpoint ServerSocket[addr=localhost/127.0.0.1,port=0,localport=8009] ignored exception: java.net.SocketException: Socket closed java.net.SocketException: Socket closed at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.close(PlainSocketImpl.java:408) at java.net.Socket.close(Socket.java:383) at java.net.ServerSocket.implAccept(ServerSocket.java:206) at java.net.ServerSocket.accept(ServerSocket.java:181) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.PoolTcpEndpoint.acceptSocket(Unknown Source) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.TcpWorkerThread.runIt(Unknown Source) at org.apache.tomcat.util.threads.ThreadPool$ControlRunnable.run(Unknown Source) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java) PoolTcpEndpoint: Endpoint ServerSocket[addr=localhost/127.0.0.1,port=0,localport=8007] ignored exception: java.net.SocketException: Socket closed java.net.SocketException: Socket closed at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.close(PlainSocketImpl.java:408) at java.net.Socket.close(Socket.java:383) at java.net.ServerSocket.implAccept(ServerSocket.java:206) at java.net.ServerSocket.accept(ServerSocket.java:181) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.PoolTcpEndpoint.acceptSocket(Unknown Source) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.TcpWorkerThread.runIt(Unknown Source) at org.apache.tomcat.util.threads.ThreadPool$ControlRunnable.run(Unknown Source) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java) And in mod_jk.log: tons of: [jk_uri_worker_map.c (335)]: jk_uri_worker_map_t::uri_worker_map_close, NULL parameter [jk_uri_worker_map.c (185)]: In jk_uri_worker_map_t::uri_worker_map_free, NULL parameters Hints to repair? --- Gregory Guthrie MUM Faculty Mail - FM 1068 Fairfield, IA 52557 http://www.mum.edu/~guthrie (641)472-7773

Problem solved. I had not apparently installed jdk1.1-dev on that machine, so /etc/init.d/tomcat was silently failing when it looked for java to start the tomcat engine.

I did an upgrade to Woody on one box, and the other is Potato, but both have the same symptom. Connection Closed by host almost immediately upon session request. The sessions are rexec of /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm. I have the PC's IP listed in Xaccess files on both machines, and the *.localdomain names there also. Any hints on what is missing here! I didn't know where to find any reported X-errors on the linux side.

dselect; suggestions..
Having just (again) had to fight through dselect for a new setup, 3 suggestions; 1) have dselect log (at least optionally). - using script is impractical, as it also presents all menus, status bars, and curses junk... 2) have it give some global navigation indication, as one ploughs through nearly infinite lists. - section 5/200, item 55/824 - 3) have it provide some higher level feature aggregations, like the simple setup scripts. SO one could add network servers packages, GUI packages, etc. Also, is each release checked for dependency errors? unsatisfied, or contradictory? Several times I exit Dselect, accepting all suggestions for things, and get problem reports. Often they are xxx required, but not available.

xdm questions; resolution?
I installed xdm, via XF86Setup; but due to setup problems, choose only a low resolution. Now I edited the XF86COnfig file, added higher resolutions, but it still always starts at low resolution. Also, the files there are very shallow, out of date, e.g. there are only 2-3 Trident files in Devices.gz, and only 2 NEC monitors in Monitors.gz. I thought there were special key-codes to cycle xdm through various resolutions, but can't find that information. Also, how does one exit xdm and fall-back to command mode; a key-code?

Recipe for installng Tomcat on (Debian) Linux?
1) Is there a simple recipe for installing Tomcat and all required Java components for Debian? Last time I did it I got caught in various version incompatibilities w/ JDKs, JVM, etc. Debian did not have current versions at that time. The only JDK in dselect was from IBM, and incompatible with Tomcat. 2) When will tomcat 3.2 (current version) be available for Debian? Any recommendations of waiting, or just doing a straight D.I.Y. Tomcat install? I like to stay in sync with the Debian packages, because they are so intertwined (tangled!). Thanks, Gregory Guthrie Gregory Guthrie [EMAIL PROTECTED] (641)472-1125Fax: -1103

Potato - Woody; apt-get snafu..
I started (over) with a clean system, installed 2.2 from CDroms, added a few packages (Apache, ntop, wuftp, gnome,..). I got several unresolved dependencies reported by dselect, but what to do? I wanted a few unsupported packages, so I added a ../woody/ line to /etc/apt/source/list, and did apt-get update, and dist-upgrade. Oops; it took about 10 passes to get all the files (220M); many many 400 not founds, 404 file errors, lost connections, etc. Anyway, a day later all was there, and it started updating. At the end it reported a bunch of missing dependencies and thus install failures. I ran the cycle again, and it downloaded another 20M, and in install gave another bunch of problems. Well, after about 5 cycles, it seems to be in such a mess (it now reports perl may not be installed properly), that it seems like I need to start all over. What went wrong here? [I had a similar experience upgrading the sibling machine, but after a few cycles it resolved itself.] I think I didn't do anything wrong, since all I did was to select a few dselect packages, and let apt do the work (make a mess..!). 1) Any ideas on how to avoid such snafu's! 2) any ideas for a recovery; or just give up. 3) how stable is woody, on a scale of 0-100%? 4) Can I get only one package from Woody, without upgrading the whole distribution?

Re: 3Com network card w/ Caldera (=? Debian)
Is Caldera Open-server Debian? I think they say this. But, /etc files are not the same, setup looks different. If so;-) I am running with a 3C509b card, which I use on my other Debian systems, and it gets the module loaded fine, ifconfig is happy, but nothing seems to go out. Ping localhost works, but nothing to the network. The IP DNS etc are all OK I think, since the adjacent Debian 2.2 box works fine with the same settings.

Re: Trouble installng Tomcat on (Debian) Linux
Thanks for the information. I really need to get this going, and it should be simple(!). I had originally installed the tomcat.deb package, and it required several other packages, one was the ibm-jdk1.1-installer, which sent me to IBM, and there I got the required packages for it. I think that is how I got Kaffe installed. (are the dependencies in the Debian Tomcat package wrong?) Anyway, I de-installed all IBM stuff, and kaffe, and got jdk1.1 and jdk1.1-dev from Debian, and now when I run it I can't get servlets to run, nor .jsp's. If there is a more simple method, or if I am dong something wrong, just let me know!!

I installed tomcat on my Debian Linux system from Apache runs fine, but I have tomcat problems. 1) How do I test it with their examples?

Re: Java JSP Tomcat
I am running kernelversion 2.2, from CDrom install. I added an unstable ftp line to the apt/sources.list, and it did then find these two packages. apt-cache search tomcat still failed, but dselect still knew about it, so I had dselect install it. Unfortunately dselect also notices a lot of other things it was interested in (I presume from the added unstable line), and downloaded 170 packages, 89MB of stuff! I am not sure but I guess that dselect and apt share the same database, so telling apt about unstable meant dselect would also use it. Any way to have just gotten one thing from unstable? Anyway, it is now crunching away installing 170 new packages... Now it seems willing to try to install apache, but gets errors: Syntax error on line 133 of /etc/apache/srm.conf: Invalid command 'AddDefaultCharsetName', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration /usr/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started dpkg: error processing jserv (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 3 Errors were encountered while processing: jserv I find that chasing this through the debian packages is such a problem and time waste, straight installs from Sun are easier, but that leads to arguments with the package system on what is really installed, where, etc. Argh!

Help, caught in apt/dselect treadmill; trying to install Tomcat
I am running kernelversion 2.2, from CDrom install. I did the simple configuration, and even then it had a list of about 16-18 install problems, unresolved dependencies. I ran install again, more resolved.

Then it had dependency problems, and did a few other iterations of update, and install. Syntax error on line 133 of /etc/apache/srm.conf: Invalid command 'AddDefaultCharsetName', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration /usr/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started dpkg: error processing jserv (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 3 Errors were encountered while processing: jserv Apache had a bad option line in srm.conf, so I had to manually delete it, then apache installed.

apache.. how to keep newer verison than that of Debvian apt-get

Re: Need help with installing Debian on a COMPAC PRESARIO 5716
look at the compaq web site, it has online manuals for almost all machines. Typically for compaq, it boots, tests memory, beeps twice, puts the cursor into the upper right hand corner, and at that time you should press F10 to enter BIOS. Also, most compaqs w/in the last 5 years will boot to CDrom, so just put a bootable debian disk in and try it, it is an effortless way to install! Greg At 01:49 PM 06/30/2000 +0200, you wrote: It is a COMPAC PRESARIO 5716. The problem is that this machine shows a big red Q at startup and no BIOS info.

Printing of Email attachments??
This is not Debian specific, but I want to setup an automatic Email and attachment printing system; whereby all email sent to a special address is printed including all attachments. The basic need is to handle incoming applications with several (usually graphic) attachments for transcripts, recommendations, etc. e.g. alias:emailPrint |emailprinter This is of course easy for the message alone, but is there an easy way to also print all attachments? For each email sent to this address, I'd like the body as the cover page, and then all attachments.

I bet you rolled your own apache rather than installing one from a deb package and this is apt's way of telling you that it wants something that provides an httpd: by trying to install all of 'em. If this is the case, have a look at the equivs package. It allows you to install a fake package which can meet other packages' dependencies. BTW, I installed dhelp from potato, and it also provides an info browser function. It still needs an httpd, though. Dave, Yes, correct. Thanks a lot, will try it. I did this for several packages, (JDK, KSDK, Jserv, ..), so knowing about equiv is helpful! Is it best that Debian packages are parallel to all of these various outside universes? Or is there a way that a Debian package can just grab the lastest from SUn, and then note that you now have it? Greg
Easy to do Full backup /restore to dead system?
We have a small server, with no bulk backup device, but has network and CDrom reader. What is the easiest way to be able to recover everything in case of a crash? E.g. make big tar, ftp to remote site, and then restore? But I presume that one cannot overlay a running system. Thus boot to floppy and do the same; but does rescue disk have full networking and ftp? or.?? Is there an easy way to make a bootable (restorable), or other useful CD restore image at a remote site (where we can burn CDs). Thanks.

It's a debian script thing. Browse the debian web site, or just

to update the indexes as well.

Broken Startup (repeat)...
I seem to have somehow have broken my system, and want a minimal way to ix it; Is there a refresh system files option for Debian with the rescue disk, or dselect, or ... ? I.e. to say install base from a rescue, will this do an add-only refresh of files from the archives, or will it wipe out what I have and start over? Since the system was working FINE before a re-boot, I feel that there must just be one small thing somewhere broken... Help!! I had a working system, and after several weeks up we were moving some (Apache) files around and wanted to make sure that the system setup for Apache was OK, se we re-booted. At re-boot I now get: The boot goes into INIT: entering run level 2 Starting system log daemon: syslogd and hangs... I edited /etc/rc2.d/S10sysklogd - /etc/init.d/sysklogd to give hello messages, and find that is hangs on the actual call to start /sbin/syslogd. Commenting out this call and everything seems to run OK as far as I can tell. Trying to manually start syslogd also hangs. I notice that during boot a ctl-break shows a ps like table of processes, and that does show two instances of syslogd running. Any ideas? The other broken symptom is that networking does not work; ifconfig reports everything fine, but ping hangs, and the hub shows the link not active. During boot the ethernet card shows proper initialization, and seems OK. The way I broke things seems that I had tar'ed up a lot of old files from a previous system, and accidently un'tared too many of them, including the /etc/fstab that was bad. nothing else from etc was in the archive, so I cannot account for the current problem.

Re: Broken startup; syslogd hangs...
Interesting, and thanks for the note. The notable thing here is that this system was perfectly working before the re-boot, running X, Apache, servlets, etc.. Then the re-boot killed stuff. I had unintentionally laid the problem basis, resorted an old fstab, and .. now, what else! So, I don't think it is any hardware. I scanned the tar archive, but couldn't find anything else dangerous that got restored..

The boot goes into INIT: entering run level 2 Starting system log daemon: syslogd and hangs... Funny thing - I had the *exact same thing* the other day setting up a new machine. I didn't formally diagnose the problem, but noticed that the fancy new MB (MB 6136PRO) I was using had assigned the same IRQ to 2 network cards and my SCSI controller. I fixed it by shuffling cards and re-installing (after tearing my hair out for an hour or three, and on a machine with no user data on it, it seemed the expedient thing). Assuming you already have good hardware and no resource conflicts, try re-installing the sysklogd package in case the problem is a corrupt file.

During boot the ethernet card shows proper initialization, and seems OK. This is almost uncanny - the one unresolved issue with the machine I mentioned above is a 3c905 Bommerand card that configures OK, but passes no packets; ping, telnet, etc. all return no output, and the packet counters shown by ifconfig are stuck at zero. I'm back to the site today with a DOS boot disk and 3Com's configuration utility to see if disabling Plug'n'Play mode (or some similar trick) fixes things. Maybe you should look into that?

dselect issues..
1) I think I have the most up to date stable (slink) system, I have used apt-get to do an update/upgrade, and everything seems OK. 2) when I use dselect, I do not get the multi-cd option; but I have a release on multiple cd's (2.1R4). 3) when I use the cd2 from this set, all works fine, but if I try to use cd1, it complains about the path, and no Packages file found, although it is there, and in the right place (same as CD#2). 4) I tried to do apt-get install xfree86 to get the most up to date version, but it did nothing. Is there a way to use apt-get to know what needs upgrade, and to get the latest without 80-100MB downloads?
