shrug Because the packages file lists it, but the mirror is incompletely

Sheesh.  Not like this is rocket science.




Ok, it's October 22nd and I still can't get nvidia-kernel-source

Seems to be down, you can try 82.94.255.100:24441

See my post to mailscanner list:

I found a reference by a Chris Pollock where he mentioned a new IP and it seemed
to work.

So I changed mine from what shipped (66.250.40.33:24441), to the IP above and

/dev/dsp missing gnome applet volume control complaining

2005-12-07 Thread Henry Hollenberg

Hey gang,

I'm running sarge on an ibm laptop T40 from emperorlinux.

I just upgraded the empkernel to 2.6.12 which got lots of things
working which I had broken trying to fiddle with sound on my own.

Later, when I tried to get the cdrom player working under gnome:
/usr/bin/gnome-cd but had weak or no sound.

SO, I went to the gnome Volume Control Applet (2.8.2) but it complains
about: Sorry, no mixer elements and/or devices found in an Error dialog.

When I checked for devices I see no /dev/dsp but there is a /dev/snd and
/dev/sndstat.

Anybody else seen gnome Volume Control broken as such?

Is this a side effect of moving from oss to alsa?


I was able to turn the sound up by: apt-get install kde kdm
and using the kde volume control gismo.

lsmod | grep snd:
snd_intel8x0   29504  1
snd_ac97_codec 80120  1 snd_intel8x0
snd_pcm84616  3 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec

Re: OpenOffice won't print anymore

2004-08-10 Thread Henry Hollenberg

I tried aptitude and apt-get and did get 77 packages that have refused to
upgrade for the last 6 months installed using aptitude.  apt-get didn't fix
them.  I now get:
opie:/home/hgh# apt-get dist-upgrade
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Calculating Upgrade... Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
but openoffice still won't print, it shows release 1.1.2.
Called the cups people for help and they showed me some tricks including
resetting my ppd file on the server using:
lpadmin -pcolor -i hpb46007.ppd.gz
I also found that my openoffice printer settings had gotten
reset to A4 paper during the upgrade rather than the default
of letter, Hah Hah Hah very funny, got me again with that
cheap trick.  I guess I shot myself in the foot by taking the
maintainers/developers config file rather than keeping my own.
I also found out how to funnel a postscript file thru the print que
unscathed and this fixed my crisp editor printing problems where
the landscape options inside the postscript file where being overridden
by setting up the print command on crisp like so:
| lpr -o raw
So it looks like my printing woe's are behind me.  Thanks to everyone
for the tips and support.

What do you mean by a dist-upgrade?  Is that an apt-get thing?
I've been using dselect pointed to testing and just hitting ENTER

Yes, it's an apt-get thing. The command apt-get update updates the
local package listings, and apt-get upgrade will upgrade any packages
where newer versions are available. This should be quite similar to what
you do with dselect.
And then, there's apt-get dist-upgrade, that is a lot more thorough
and smarter with dependency handling, but only needed when you upgrade
your debian version, like woody - sarge. Or so I thought until a few
days ago.
As it turned out, I had to call a dist-upgrade to get the current
version of both cups and OOo. But lo and behold, printing now works
again.
As a side note: I never got very fond of dselect. For normal system
maintenance, apt-get update/upgrade is all you need (plus apt-get offers
a download-only option I find very useful); as a package browser,
someone recommended aptitude which I now like very much. Aptitude is
quite similar to deslect on the first glance, but a lot more powerful
and versatile.

My OpenOffice printing just broke after a testing upgrade also.
This seems to be a longstanding issue on a large piece of software.  I also
checked the printer setup utility with no luck.
Mozilla prints fine.  I removed the Xprint piece a long time ago due
to printing issues with mozilla.
So that makes 2/5 of my production apps shut down by debian upgrades.

I've been using linux for 8 years and debian for 4 and I have debugged lots

If it does you probably need to add index.php to the DirectoryIndex

cups print system butchering my PS files

Hey Gang,
Have a HP4600 network printer accepting postscript jobs

Recently the system started messing with the PS files I
send it from the crisp editor.
If I print the job to a file and then ftp it to the printer
it prints fine.
If I let the print system/CUPS do it it takes
a landscape job and turns it back to portraitit also shifts
it to the bottom of the page cutting off the crisp footers.
OpenOffice prints perfectly both portrait and landscape.
Mozilla prints fine ever since I removed the xprint stuff.

Try installing that one first. See what happens.

Checked into that and dselect showed libxt6 as being selected for
installation alreadyI didn't + it honest!
I did look around and noticed xlib was not marked for installation
so I marked it +.
I also noticed a message about correcting dependencys go by...

after about three more runs of dselect all the errors sorted themselves
out and the packages installed...
I had previosly run dselect serveral times in a row with no luck
so I don't know what happened...either one of the developers fixed
some dependency issues or it was the xlib package.

dselect refusing to upgrade packages in unstable?

2004-02-20 Thread Henry Hollenberg
I keep getting a line from dselect about packages that will
not be upgraded:
98 upgraded, 36 newly installed, 0 to remove and 71 not upgraded.

I wonder, have I screwed something up?

Here is my cat /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main contrib 
non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free

deb http://debian.fabbione.net/debian-ipv6 sid ipv6

The 71 not upgraded used to be  50-something.  It's growing!

Thanks, hgh

Gnome Nautilus Workspace Switcher losing state

2004-02-14 Thread Henry Hollenberg
Hey gang,

I'm running unstable for packages and stable for security updates with a 
gnome/nautilus desktop.  Since the last mega-upgrade via dselect I've 
noticed that I'm losing workspaces that I've configured every time I log 
out and log back in. I have been setting it for four (4) workspaces but 
on relogin it's always back to just one.  I am saving my desktop 
settings  tried manually and using the auto_save_on_logout setting.

Any body else run into this?  Any fixes?

Thanks,

Best Current Pratice Postgres upgrade 6.5--7.2

2003-11-19 Thread Henry Hollenberg
Hello,

I have a database running on potato using postgres 6.5 that
I'd like to upgrade to Woody running postgres 7.2.

The docs seem to imply that upgrading with this big a jump from
6.5 to 7.2 is dangerous.even if I do it by hand like so:

pg_dump mydatabase  dump.mydatabase
destroydb mydatabase
upgrade the database system to 7.2
createdb mydatabase
psql  dump.mydatabase

Can this large jump be made safely?

If not, I don't see any other versions of postgres available for
debian...so how should
it be done in smaller increments?

Do my steps above look reasonable?

Thanks, Henry Hollenberg   [EMAIL PROTECTED]

client-server lprng setup broken

2003-06-15 Thread Henry Hollenberg
Hey gang,

I've had this setup working fine for about a year and a half and
now it's acting up.
I have a network printer HP4600 running lpd internally and a central
mail server running woody and lprng:
printcap:

These were set up with lprngtool.

I have clients pointing to the central mail server (mail) and
their printcap looks like this:

I fixed broken mail in the past by tweaking /etc/lprng/lpd.perms
commenting out the line:

I have now modified the file to read:

And still no printing from remote clients.

Printing the test page from the server mail.rcwm.com works.

I can follow the job thru the que.  And it appears to be

Which battery applet are you using?  I understand there is at least two:

I think I know what I'm talking about :-)and I even have a reason!
I was wondering if anyone had written some sort of telnetd for win95
boxes.  I realize it's an unstable piece of crapbut I have a tutorial
on assembly I was tinkering with and it is written for intel assembly
format...instead of att.  So I thought I would do the compiles on the
win95 box. But I hate to sit down to itI'd rather open up a telnet to
it from my linux box if possible.  Of course when I was thru with the
tutorial I would switch over to the att style.

 No.  Win95 does not have a telnet server.
 
 If you want to use Win95 remotely, you could try the vnc package if

should I go back to the top of dselect and do ftp again.


Also can I save all these .deb files somewhere and use them for setting up
the other two debian boxes I'm building.

Where should I put these .deb packages on the new machines and how do I

This message didn't make it to the list first time so I'm trying again.

Henry Hollenberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] 


I'm in the middle of upgrade from 1.3.1 to hamm upgrade and was trying to
upgrade the packages in dists/unstable/main using dselect.  I have already
run the autoup.sh script.

I am confused about where I am in dselect...some sort of package
dependency issue and I can't seem to exit my keystroke cycle.
%%
dselect  - recursive package listing  mark:+/=/- verbose:...

Ok, I've tried the enter key and the + keydoesn't seem to like those,
it just keeps cycling me thru help...any idea what I'm supposed to do at
this point?

Thanks

Re: Debian 2.0 unstable

1998-03-08 Thread Henry Hollenberg

I didn't see any mention of downloading the latest hamm version of libc5
_BEFORE_ you run the script.  All that was mentioned was doing a clean
install of 1.3.1 and then running the script.

I haven't done this yet but have been reading up on it and following the
discussion on the devel list.could this be the problem?

Re: broken hamm upgrade

Ben Pfaff [EMAIL PROTECTED] said:

Actually, the best way to install 2.0, AFAICT and IMHO, is to use the
brand-new 2.0 install disks.  You can find them in the usual archives
in the disks-i386 distribution.


Would that be:

ftp://ftp.debian.org/pub/debian/hamm/hamm/disks-i386/current/

And the needed disks for most folks usually be:

  base14-1.bin   1440 KbSat Feb 21
  base14-2.bin   1440 KbSat Feb 21
  base14-3.bin   1440 KbSat Feb 21
  base14-4.bin   1440 KbSat Feb 21
  base14-5.bin   1440 KbSat Feb 21
  base14-6.bin  
  drv1440.bin1440 KbSat Feb 21
  resc1440.bin  
  
If they have a running linux system and know how to dd the images onto
floppys.


not sure what this one is for:
  root.bin   


So your saying if your goal is to have a hamm/2.0 system and you are
installing a fresh system, not an upgrade is to start straight out with
2.0.  There is no advantage to starting with your 1.3.1 CDROMs.  (Well at
least I got the book that came with them :-)).

Re: loading support for 2 ethernet cards

1998-03-05 Thread Henry Hollenberg
Yeah, it's a bit unclear at first.  What you want to do is put the
information on the append line, like this:

append=mem=96M ether=10,0x300,eth0 ether=11,0x2e0,eth1

I'd recommend you put in the real values rather than 0,0 - that enables
autoprobing and let's face it, you do want to know which interface is
which, don't you?

I hope this helps.  By the way, my two cards are 3C509B's.

How do you know which card is going to end up getting which values is it
in the system bios?

How do you know exactly what the values arelucky guess?

I'm using two 3c905's with the latest patch to 3c59x.c from D. Becker
inserted into the kernel sources before compiling a custom kernel.

What I was planning to do was the old empiric method...if:

1--A and 2--B  doesn't work, why then I'll just connect
1--B and 2--A !!!

I figure the things are going to get assigned at boot the same way each
time.  But I would like to know how to do things the Right Way.

Thanks

Using dpkg for a custom installation from cdrom media

1998-03-03 Thread Henry Hollenberg

Hello,

I have a particular list of packages I would like to install saved in
a file and am using a 3 CD-ROM Debian 1.3.1 set I got with Dale Scheetz's
book as my media.

I imagine I need to mount the cdrom and use dpkg --get-selections and 
dpkg --set-selections and maybe cd to the cdrom stable directory then do
some sort of dpkg -R command

but I have no idea how to hang all these steps together.

Anybody know how to do this?type/talk slowly so I can see your
lips move.

Thanks

Re: dselect (Re: Using dpkg for a custom installation from cdrom media)

1998-03-03 Thread Henry Hollenberg

Hello Joost and thanks for the reply.

I've been tinkering with dselect and I think I've figured out enough to
get it to do what it can for me..as far as that goes.

But I'm trying to do a custom install with alots of selected packages
for a bastion host/firewall.  This would be cumbersome to do by hand on
the three machines that would make up the firewall.

Also, we are trying to come up with a somewhat automated and well worked
out procedure for building a Debian based firewall, see:

http://www.weikert.de/debwall/

and

debian-firewall@lists.debian.org

therefore I believe dselect just will not have the functionality required
for this project and that is why I'm looking into dpkg.

It looks as if dpkg can probably pull it off.I'm just not sure how to
use it in this complex scenario.I've used it for simpler stuff and it
works great.installing a kernel dselect couldn't find for instance
(2.0.33).

so my question remains, what are the steps?

?

base install

su
mount cdrom
cd /mnt/stable
dpkg --set-selections  /tmp/custom_package_list -R

?

I've got some new machines coming in this morning so I'll try this out
blindly soon, but would appreciate any guidance from the gurus.

Thanks

 You're probably wrong about that:
 - theoretically because: dselect builds on dpkg; it provides extra
 functionality that dpkg doesn't have and calls upon dpkg to do what dpkg
 can.
 - practically because: see suggestions below;
 
  It looks as if dpkg can probably pull it off.I'm just not sure how to
  use it in this complex scenario.I've used it for simpler stuff and it
  works great.installing a kernel dselect couldn't find for instance
  (2.0.33).
 
 Was that a kernel you brewed yourself with kernel-package? Then it
 probably wasn't mentioned in a Packages file. How would dselect know
 about your package then? 

It's one from Herbert Xu that's not showing up in stable or bo-update:

http://cgi.debian.org/www-master/debian.org/Packages/unstable/devel/kernel-source-2.0.33.html

not sure why it's in unstable/devel since it looks like a stable (even
number) release.

once I had the .deb file downloaded I cd'ed to that directory as su and
ran dpkg -i ./*.deb

and I had my stable sources installed.

then I did make menuconfig in the new sources directory tree
then I did, make-kpkg kernel-image
then edited lilo.conf
then cd'ed to /usr/src where the new compiled kernel package .deb file was
and ran dpkg -i *.deb

and bingo I had a lean mean tuned kernel (also downloaded the latest 3com
driver source from Donald Becker and put that in the source tree before
compilation, 3c59x.c).

 
 Dselect's standard way of getting to know what packages are available in
 an archive is to run dpkg --update-avail on the Packages file that comes
 with the archive. 
 
 You could have made a Packages file yourself, with dpkg-scanpackages and
 put that in a DIY archive and use it with dselect (making a custom
 archive). You'll have to make an override file too, to get
 dpkg-scanpackages to add sections to the packages entries in the Packages
 file. You can find examples in the ftp.debian.org /debian/indices/
 directory.

Now we're getting somewhere!

I'm going to have to print this one and read and think awhile!

Thanks  hgh
 
 Or (not using an archive at all) you could have used dpkg --avail
 custom-kernel.deb. I'm afraid you'd have to put the .deb on a floppy to
 use it with dselect, because that's the only way it knows how to deal with
 a non-archive. In this simple case, dpkg -i by hand is more convinient of
 course.
 
  so my question remains, what are the steps?
 
 Another solution is to build a package with dependencies on all the
 packages you want to install. Create an archive that contains that
 package, the packages it depends on and packages that those depend on.
 Since you want to build a firewall, you'll probably want to put in a
 _lot_ of conflicts as well ;-).
 Use dpkg-scanpackages to generate a Packages file. Burn it on a cd or
 put it on your ftp site and it should work fine with dselect and deity.
 
 If you're really serious about creating your own cd, then dselect is
 definately the way to go.
 
 Cheers,
 
 
 Joost

 Stable and unstable kernel releases have nothing to do with stable and
 unstable debian distribution trees. The Debian unstable tree always has
 stable kernels for instance.
 
 The stable and unstable debian distribution tree have different Packages
 files though. Since the kernel included with stable has no major bugs
 that needed to be fixed, it hasn't been changed in the bo tree and neither
 in bo's Packages file. Maybe that explains why you didn't see it; you're
 looking at the Packages file from bo.

What would point dselect at this particular kernel then?  (2.0.33)

unstable?

 I don't know the answer to that one but one possibility is that the

 I did not look at the time stamps so I have no idea if that could

 maintenance' the various 'Packages' files could be 'out of sync' with
 what is actually present in the areas that the file cover.
 
 In the future, even if that was not the problem this time, you might
 want to take a look in the root of the debian tree to see if the zero
 length file Archive-Maintenance' is present.  When that file is present
 there is a possibility that either a package that is present will not be
 listed in the package file or that there will be files listed that are
 not in the archive.

I ftp'd to ftp.debian.org and looked at / and /pub and didn't see
Archive-Maintenance.

What it sounds like you are implying is that the kernel image preserves 
it's time stamp from the time it was compiled/created throughout the

kernel image should have an earlier timestamp..I think...

Re: kernel-source-2.0.33

1998-03-01 Thread Henry Hollenberg

Well I thought this was itor am I mistaken, I just didn't understand
why dselect couldn't track it down:

http://cgi.debian.org/www-master/debian.org/Packages/unstable/devel/kernel-source-2.0.33.html

Package: kernel-source-2.0.33 2.0.33-3



  Linux kernel source.

This package provides the source code for the Linux kernel, as well as the
scripts that maintain the symbolic link /usr/src/linux).
This also contains everything in the package kernel-headers-2.0.33, and
thus if you install kernel-source-2.0.33 you do not also
need to install kernel-headers-2.0.33. 

You may configure the kernel to your setup by typing make config and
following instructions, but you could get ncursesX.X-dev

 Hello Henry,
 
 There is no source package for 2.0.33 because, as far as I understand, the
 maintainer is too busy.
 But you can always build your own custom source package using make-kpkg.
 I've just done it on my new system, and it works like a charm!
 Let me know if you need further help.

Re: problem

1998-02-08 Thread Henry Hollenberg
I had exactly the same error message when I was trying to use dselect
the first time with ftp.debian.org.tried one of the other 
mirrors and everything seemed to work.weird.
Weirder still I later tried ftp.debian.org and it worked!

I must have been doing something wrong initially but I can't imagine what.

You might try one of the other mirrors though

http://www.debian.org/misc/README.mirrors 

Good luck.

Can I pass dselect a list of packages?

1998-02-07 Thread Henry Hollenberg

Hello,

I was wondering if it was possible to pass
dselect a _custom_ list of packages that has been previously compiled.

ie:

`cat pkg-list`

where pkg-list is a file containing the names of a _custom_ set of
packages I want to install.

If I need to select packages to install one at a time
that's OKjust wondering if there is a short cut

[EMAIL PROTECTED] speed]$ cat pkglist

ae joe mc

Thanks

why is the digest list all chopped up

1998-02-05 Thread Henry Hollenberg
Hello,

I am trying to subscribe to the Debian users list in diogest form
but it's coming to me all chopped up in a bunch of attachments.

Can I get it as one long email like other digests...

Please reply to me directly as well as the list as I don't
get all the messages/attachments especially the ones towards
the end and therefore probably won't be able to see your reply
to the list.

Thanks for you help.

Using Debian for a bastion host.

1998-02-05 Thread Henry Hollenberg

Hello,

I am setting up a bastion host and packet filtering router and taking
a crack at using Debian for this task.

I figured the first job would be to pick the neccasary packages for such a
system.  I have appended my list of packages to the end of this message.

_?_ means I don't know if I should use this package
_cut_ means I wasn't planning on using this package
_req_ means debian requires this package
_nec_ means I thought this package would be neccasary to set up or run the
firewall.

I am trying to keep the system as lean and secure as possible.
Thankssorry for the length.  Any suggestions for further
modification of the package list?  Packages that should be 
removed once bastion host is setup (ie gcc, etc).  Thanks

Re: debian-user-digest Digest V98 #164

1998-02-01 Thread Henry Hollenberg

Am I getting this digest correctly.  It comes as several attachments, which are
kind of cumbersome to open one at a time.  Plus, I'm not getting all the
messagesonly 5 out of 16 this go arounddo I need to reconfigure
somehow?

Thanks
