Upgrade to 2.2.1 kernel, sound problems
I upgraded to the 2.2.1 kernel (it should be somewhat stable being an even release number) and my AWE 64 sound card now fails to work. I have isapnp installed to configure the soundcard on bootup, that works fine (prints out board id etc...). However when I attempt to use mpg123 to play mp3 files I recieve the following error. Can't open /dev/dsp! However I do have dsp in my device driver dir (/dev/). ls -l /dev/dsp crw-rw 1 root audio 14, 3 May 12 1998 /dev/dsp Can you shed any light on my problem? (I also noticed that the config script for the kernel never asked for io/irq/dma etc.. addresses what's up?) Thanks for your time Mark Panzer
Problems with ide-scsi emulation
I recently compiled a 2.2.1 kernel, (as per the cd-writing howto) and I cannot get my ide cd writter (HP 8100i on /dev/hdc) to map to any scsi device. When attempting to mount it as almost any scsi device I recieve the following error: mount: the kernel does not recognize /dev/sr0 as a block device Can anyone lend a hand? Thank you for your time.

You can fsck the root while it's mounted no problem. You're right for fsck, but not for defrag. So the problem still stands.

The problem as described previously is an IRQ timeout error (0xd0) which occurs repeatedly when installing Hamm from CD. Here are a few possibilities: -Your CD-ROM is not set to slave if it is sharing a IDE channel with a HDD. -Your CD-ROM spins down and cannot spin-up fastenough to send data (causing a time-out) What would be nice to know: -what IDE channel is the CD-ROM on? -does the CD-ROM share a channel with a hard disk? -is the IDE channel on a soundcard? What you could try: -have someone else try to install from the CD (maybe it's bad?) -put the CD-ROM on a separate IDE channel if it currently is sharing one, or vice versa. -report back with more error messages if problems persist -install from FTP (I know it's slow, I have a 14.4Kbps modem and it took me a week to install Debian from FTP because of my ISP restrictions) I see from the archives that several other people have discussed this but I didn't see a solution proposed. Any ideas now ??? Tell me where these archives are and maybe I'll find something in them (I haven't looked lately) The disk is fine - Win95 reads it without a problem and with only the Hamm base system installed I was able to copy from it to a directory in my Linux partition until I ran out of room ( how did a 650Mb CD use up a 1.5Gb partition BTW ? ) All .deb files are compressed and normally expand to about twice their size. During the installation I can hear the drive constantly speed up then slow down then speed up etc... when dselect is operating and then finally it grinds to a halt and errors occur. Is anything installed or is it seeking continually seeking. I have a P166mmx with a 2.5Gb h/d, 32Mb memory, 1.44Mb floppy and 24X speed ATAPI CD-ROM. The name of the CD-ROM is Diamond Data which I believe is manufactured by Mitsubishi. I have previously installed Hamm on the system by FTP which ran perfectly and even played music CD's but please don't tell me to reinstall by FTP as this takes me about two days to download because of work commitments and ISP time restrictions.

Re: 256MB RAM systems can need 1GB swap... Re: Partitioning....
Christopher Barry wrote: The latest Debian install manual when addressing the need of how big you need to make your swap partition says: That still leaves the question of swap space. There are as many views on how much swap you need as there are Unix administrators. One rule of thumb which works well is to use as much swap as you have RAM, although there probably isn't much point in going over 64MB of swap for most users. If you start using that much swap, you should get more RAM. Of course, there are exceptions. If you are trying to solve 1 simultaneous equations on a machine with 256MB of RAM you may need a gigabyte (or more) of swap. If your swap requirements are this high, however, you should probably try to spread the swap across different disks. So I suppose the For workstations the more RAM you have, the less you'll need SWAP isn't true for 100% of workstations, but I'll be damned if my 64MB Pentium-MMX has ever swapped much even with Netscape mail and bunch of browsers open and a kernel compile running in the background. Wow are you lucky, for some reason when I run netscape it sucks all of my RAM and uses ~30Mb of swap (and all my 32Mb of RAM). I posted a question about a month ago on this but those who helped me noticed some of the same problems but not to the extent that I had. Anyone care to explain why huge swap spaces should be spread across multiple disks? I can understand the need for multiple partitions, as swap partitions bigger than 128MB IIRC won't be able to use more than 128MB of it, but why should the multiple partitions be spread across multiple disks? Does doing this automatically make them RAID like so that writes and reads for the swap space are distributed so that each additional disk you distribute swap across increases your overall swap speed as is true with some RAID levels? If you spread the swap partitons across multiple disks then SCSI can do some 'multitasking' buy telling disks to read or write data while waiting for another disk to finish it's operation. If this is true, then in the name of the eaking out every last bit of swap performance that I'll never use I may just hook up an old unused 2GB SCSI disk I have (well, unused until I have enough other 'unused' parts to build a new computer to use it) and distribute my swap across it and my current disk (and mind as well make a few extra ext2 partitions on it while it's sitting on the SCSI chain so it sees more use). Certainly couldn't hurt, but might give me a 1% performance boost .0001% of the time I'm using my computer. :) Yah, but it makes you feel good doesn't it?

No problem I thought, I rebooted and tried again, still no window-manager. I looked in my window-managers file and all of them are listed, how come it doesn't start any?? Thanks for your help..

Re: Install Hamm on Cyrix CPU PC

No you don't have to do this on the newer Cyrix CPU's. I believe it was a problem when the processor switched from real to protected mode and its internal wasn't properly flushed. Don't worry though I think they have been shipping processors for 1-2 yrs without this problem. Just try it without doing this first it will probably work.

OK, you seemed to have arrived at the conclusion that Java is at fault. How about you find one Java page that will do this. Fire up a fresh Netscape, open one browser window, go to that one page, and let it sit there untouched and prove that it is gobbling memory. Then, tell us what that page is. Then, a whole bunch of us can try it out. I can try it on other platforms too, for curiosity (IRIX, Solaris). Although nobody seems to have seen this problem, I bet nobody doubts that a page with Java applets could do this. Java in Linux Netscape has been getting better, but still does weird things.

Re: Partitioning/Dual Booting
M. Phillips wrote: I'm a newby to the whole Linux/GNU/Debian system, being a long-time MS devotee, and although I am very close to being sold on getting it, I have a couple of questions to clear up first. 1: In the FAQ, section 3.4 http://www.us.debian.org/doc/FAQ/debian-faq-3.html#ss3.4 states that one should partition a 1.6 GB hard disk with the following partitions: *30 MBytes for the root directory (/) *450 MBytes for /usr *50 MBytes for swap space *1000 MBytes for home directories (some of this could be used for /usr/local/) *0 MBytes for /tmp; make /tmp a symbolic link to /var/tmp *40 MBytes for /var Pardon my ignorance, or mayhaps it's the ambiguity of the whole section, but does this mean I need five separate partitions on the single disk, or (more likely, methinks) does it mean that the single partition consists of 1570 MBytes? Any clarification would be most appreciated. Yes this example show that you need 5 separate partitions. I just did this to my computer recently. Here is how I have it set-up: paritionLinux Name Mount Point (where it is in the directory map) 1 hda1none Win 95 2 hda2Linux root (/) 3 hda3Linux /usr (where most of your applications hide) 4 hda4Linux swap Just use your handy cfdisk program included with you Debian distribution (after backing up ALL the data you wish to keep) and make your partitions. Otherwise you could use Partition Magic to shrink the size of your Windows or DOS partition and create your linux partitions from the free space. Also, seeing as how I _am_ new to the idea, I would very much like to perform a dual boot between Win95/MS-DOS, and Debian/GNU Linux operating systems. Seems like somewhere in the dark recesses of the PC World archives there's a miniscule article about dual-booting between 2 or more OSes, but I've since lost/given away the issue, and I'd like to hear it from a user more experienced than myself in the area. To use the quick way out at www.linux.org in the HOWTO documents there is one on dual booting between Linux and Win95/DOS/OS2 etc... Linux uses the LILO loader to load up your operating system, but you can also use it to load Windows or DOS. If you need more help just ask I can send you my lilo.conf the file which tells LILO how to boot up Win95 in my system.

I have 32M ram + 70M swap, running 2.0.34 kernel, using glibc version of NS v4.05 professional. After logging in to X, I then logged in to 2 other consoles and ran dselect and mc in them. Its hard to tell what's going on by the output of top, but at the beginning of this session, top showed all mem in use but no swap. After about an hour and a half, including mail and browser activity, it has released ~1M of RAM but is using ~8M of swap. As soon as I end the apps in the consoles I get ~5M of ram back (free), for a max change of 2 to 8 meg of used memory. That isn't much of a change, and seems reasonable given what I was doing. I have certainly never seen the kind of effects you are seeing (like using 20M of I'm about ready to use a big profanity because I had a really nice message worked up to reply but then netscape mail used up all my memory and quit blowing away about 25 min of typing a message.

Someone asked if I had used the debian package to install it, yes I did. Maybe this problem could be attributed to my kernel? Maybe it doesn't do memory management correctly? I also noticed that right after I went to a page which used java and the java vm started that my memory (now swap) usage went up by 5 meg! Is there someone else that may know more about this? It is starting to get really annoying when I have to have a xterm open all the time and every 5 min check the amount of free space to see if I have to close netscape and open it again to stop this memory growth problem.

memory usage and Netscape
Dear debian users, While running netscape ver 4.05 I commonly run out of memory after two hours. I have 32Mbytes of RAM and a 50Mbyte swap. I just have two windows of Netscape open at a time and normally one. If I type free in an xterm I see my free memory and swap getting eaten up without even visiting any sites just leaving netscape open. Then, of course, when swap runs out it closes (kills) netscape. Do I have something set-up incorrectly or is this just the way it works (how come netscape in Win95 doesn't have this problem?)

Could you help me with the following: 1. how can I, using Linux and X11 read e-mail from other people who send it to me via my ISP (uses POP) 2. What is a good soundcard which is $40-$50 that works well in Linux and Win95? 3. Does Netscape 4 install correctly under Hamm? I would like to try to install the .deb file containing this program but I know that it is an installer, and when I had BO it complained about not being in some temp dir. What if any, is the special config for this? Thanks Mark Panzer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
problems with X11 in hamm
Dear Debian users, I got my ppp link to my ISP up and working today thanks to the help of Roberto Ruiz and some other helpful people on the user list. I finally (ugh) downloaded the packages which I wanted (with my 14.4Kbps modem)and installed them (my ISP kicks me off after 6 hrs. so it took two tries). I downloaded the files for X Window, installed them, and it automatically ran the text baised set-up program, I tried using it, but it didn't work. I then remembered XF86Setup was a graphical set-up utility and it worked. When it automatically tried the server it worked. It then automatically quit after saving the files and I typed startx and recieved: x: exec of /usr/bin/X11/XF86_NONE failed _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2 _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2 _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2 _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2 _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2 _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2 giving up what happened?
