I'm also aware of apt-listchanges which I installed and configured to automatically run when I upgrade the packages. However, I want to get the packages/versions/ChangeLog without actually doing the upgrade itself, i.e. I don't want to use super user privileges for any of the actions (this also rules out auto-downloading the packages the usual ap-get way).

Problem 2.4.29 auf woody zum laufen zu bekommen
Hi, hab hier ein ziemliches Problem 2.4.29 auf woody zum laufen zu bekommen. Hintergrund warum: das Mainboard hat eine Via Rhine NIC, der Treiber in 2.4.18 haengt sich bei hohen Datenvolumen auf, in 2.4.29 ist ein neuerer drin. Kann den Treiber aber nicht von 2.4.29 einfach nach 2.4.18 kopieren, zu unterschiedlich. Habe mir also Vanilla 2.4.29 geholt, in /usr/src/ abgespeichert, entpackt, dann 'make menuconfig', die alte Konfiguration von /boot/config-2.4.18 geladen, abgespeichert, dann 'make-kpkg clean' und dann 'fakeroot make-kpkg --append_to_version .. --initrd kernel_image modules_image'. Im wesentlichen habe ich mich an die Debian-Referenz [1] gehalten. Das *.deb hab ich dann installiert (dpkg -i), die initrd und vmlinuz links geprueft und reboot. Folgendes passiert: VFS: Mounted root (cramfs filesystem) Freeing unused kernel memory... warning: can't open /etc/mtab: No such file or directory Nite: /etc/modules.conf more recent then /lib/modules/2.4.29/modules.dep modprobe: can't locate module * NET4 ...

Konnte das Problem loesen, in dem ich den IDE Treiber nicht als Modul sondern fix hineinkompiliert habe. Mir ist klar, dass das funktioniert, nur ist mir noch immer nicht klar, warum es in erster linie nicht funktioniert hat, mit dem 2.4.29er, wenn im2.4.18er geklappt hat. lG -- Haeufig gestellte Fragen und Antworten (FAQ): http://www.de.debian.org/debian-user-german-FAQ/ Zum AUSTRAGEN schicken Sie eine Mail an [EMAIL PROTECTED] mit dem Subject unsubscribe.

Es gibt ja bestimmte Umgebungvariablen die beeinflussen Packages manchmal beim build, wie z.B. wenn die Umgebungsvariable DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS den string 'debug' enthaelt, werden bei den Packages (wenns im rules file drinsteht, ist glaub ich aber eh' standard, weiss net genau) debug infos ins executeable gelinkt. Auf den ersten Blick finde ich jetzt nichts fuer andere Prozessoren, aber warum sollts nicht mit den CFLAGS funktionieren? Ok, hab selber schnell einen Blick gemacht, mit CFLAGS koennt's zu problemen kommen. Bei cyrus21 z.B. steht folgendes im debian/rules file: CFLAGS=-Wall -pipe $(DEBUGFLAGS) ./configure $(CONFFLAGS) \ ... Das unterbindet effektiv eine Verwendung von custom CFLAGS.

Problem mit gnome-terminal (2.0.0-4) und Umlauten
Hi, seit dem ich (eigentlich unabsichtlich, kanns aber nimmer aendern) meine unstable upgedated hab' und dadurch die ganzen gnome2 softwarepackete upgedated hab (vorher hatte ich gnome-terminal 1.irgendwas) werde die Umlaute im gnome-terminal einfach nicht mehr dargestellt. Ich schaffs ja nicht mal mir eine Schrift einzustellen die richtig dargestellt wird (sprich in Sachen font size meine Erwartungen entspricht). Wenn ich Use the same font as other applications aktiviert habe, dann stimmt wenigstens die Schriftgroesse (sieht nach einer 6x13 aus), zumindest ist sie die alte. Aber keine Umlaute. Komm' gerade drauf das ich eigentlich bei keiner Schrift die Umlaute habe ... naja :-( Mit dem alten gnome-terminal hatte ich folende Font: [Config] font=-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed-*-*-120-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1 Aber mit dem neuen font selection dialog (der mir nur erlaubt aus einer einizgen liste auszuwaehlen, nicht mehr wie frueher der auf mehrere register aufgeteilt war), kann ich mir das nicht einstellen wie ich's brauch. Die fixed (misc) und dergleichen font eintraege sind keine 6x13 sondern ein wenig breiter. Hab ich eventuell vergessen mir ein bestimmtes font package nachzuinstallieren bzw. muss/sollte ich das machen mit dem neuerem gnome-terminal ? thx fuer jeden Hinweis, - Markus -- GnuPG Key: http://guru.josefine.at/~mfischer/C2272BD0.asc Fabian hwaaraSick: unsignificant hwaaraSick Fabian: can you be more precise?

Installing Oracle on woody (chrooted potato)
Of course its not possible with the current available Oracle Database versions. This is true for 816SE, 816EE and 817EE (tested 'em all) because of the glibc2.1.3 dependeny. Because I was stupid enough to waste countless hours spending installing all oracle version above on woody over and over just to recognize its doesn't work I was also crazy enough to find another way without needing to go away from woody (Note: the main purpose for the following attempt was: no install cds and floppies at home for a potato fresh install and downgrading from woody-potato won't work; well, maybe, but thats another story). For simplicty, I just downloaded ftp://ftp.at.debian.org/debian/dists/potato/main/disks-i386/current/base2_2.tgz , made a directory called /potato , untared base2_2.tgz into it and chroot /potato /bin/bash 'ed into it. Some basic steps for this work is then create a small /etc/fstab so it knows at least /proc. Then, a /etc/hosts entry for localhost and a hostname for the local ip is needed. Fire up dselect, specify access method (I used apt of course), maybe you should first create your /etc/apt/sources.list, mine is echo deb ftp://ftp.at.debian.org/debian potato main contrib non-free /etc/apt/sources.list echo deb ftp://ftp.at.debian.org/debian-non-US potato/non-US main contrib non-free /etc/apt/sources.list Do a dselect update, dselect select and finally install. Some notes: installing ssh, ftp, exim, apache etc. won't work in your chrooted environment if on your normal system those services are running on their particular default port. Anyway, there is real need for the chrooted system to run cron, exim, ssh, blabla .. you 'll get it I think. Then, copy the oracle install file somewhere to your chrooted environment and there your go; the rest is standard oracle install procedure. And, yes, Oracle 817 now installs and runs and I even can run my favorite woody system. Ah, what I forgot, possible trouble can come across you when accessing the local X-Server (And hey, since oracle 8 you *need* X if you don't have a proper response file [and even with this its a pain in the ass, believe me...]); export DISPLAY=:0.0 can work, DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 worked for me, but I also needed to do a 'xhost +localhost' on your current account running the xserver. And sometimes I even needed to copy my ~localacount/.Xauthority do chrooted:/home/oracle/ ; but well, you Linux Gurus out there know better way how to solve this problem. All the countless hours of work are dedicated to Tatjana. happy oracle-on-woody-in-chrooted-environment installing, Markus ps: I attached my chrooted:roots .bash_history so everyone can follow my stupidity. -- Markus Fischer, http://josefine.ben.tuwien.ac.at/~mfischer/ EMail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Public Key: http://josefine.ben.tuwien.ac.at/~mfischer/C2272BD0.asc PGP Fingerprint: D3B0 DD4F E12B F911 3CE1 C2B5 D674 B445 C227 2BD0 mount /proc/ ps dselect clear echo deb ftp://ftp.at.debian.org/debian potato main contrib non-free /etc/apt/sources.list echo deb ftp://ftp.at.debian.org/debian-non-US potato/non-US main contrib non-free /etc/apt/sources.list dselect nsl ping ping ftp.at.debian.org cat /etc/host.conf echo nameserver 192.168.0.1 /etc/resolv.conf ping ftp.at.debian.org echo $HOME cd pwd ls -la cd cd .. ls -la cd pwd dselect dselect dselect access apt dselect access apt dselect access dselect update apt-get dist-upgrade apt-get -u upgrade apt-get install apache apt-get install perl5 apt-get install perl pwd cd dselect updaet cd ls -la apt-get install apache php4 perl vi /etc/apache/httpd.conf apt-get -u upgrade apt-get install php4 /etc/init.d/apache stop /etc/init.d/apache start apt-get install vim vi /etc/apache/httpd.conf apt-get remove nvi dselect dselect dpkg --purge exim dselect install apt-get -u upgrade apt-get dist-upgrade w cd dselect dpkg --purge cron dpkg --purge at groupadd oinstall groupadd dba useradd -g oinstall -G dba -d /home/oracle -s /bin/bash -m oracle pwd cd cat - oraclean.sh chmod 755 oraclean.sh cat - oraenv cat - oraenv.sh cat - oraenv.sh chmod 755 oraenv.sh chmod 755 oraclean.sh cat oraclean.sh ./oraclean.sh ls -la /home/oracle/ su - oracle apt-get install xterm su - oracle vi oraenv.sh su - oracle apt-get install slay slay oracle cd ls -l cat /etc/group vi /etc/group vi /etc/passwd rm -Rf /home/oracle/ rm -Rf /home/oracle/ useradd vi oraclean.sh ./oraclean.sh cat /etc/passwd su - oracle cd su - oracle cd pwd cd /home/oracle/orainstRoot.sh cd passwd root tail -f ~oracle/oraInventory/logs/installActions.log less -n ~oracle/oraInventory/logs/installActions.log pwd vi /etc/hosts /sbin/ifconfig su - oracle passwd oracle su - oracle rm /etc/oraInst.loc su - oracle

Hello, I'm running a few servers and workstation in a private network where I work. For security and variuous policy reasons it's not allowed beeing connected to the internet. I've now upgraded all machines to potato TC 2 and I'm very happy. But for developing I need some machines running unstable. I can burn a few cd's with unstable and have a one-time complete mirror. But how to I approach the 'keeping up2date' problem ? I can't fetch a new Packages list just from the network I am (no internet connection). I'm thinking about bringing the new packages from time to time with my zip drive to work. But how do I now which packages have changes since the last time ? I don't want to have a machine at home with a full mirror or with all the packages installed I have at work. I hope I explained my problem clear enough ;) Thanks for any advice ! kind regards, Markus -- Markus Fischer, http://josefine.ben.tuwien.ac.at/~mfischer/ EMail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Public Key: http://josefine.ben.tuwien.ac.at/~mfischer/C2272BD0.asc PGP Fingerprint: D3B0 DD4F E12B F911 3CE1 C2B5 D674 B445 C227 2BD0 - Free Software For A Free World -

Couldn't you just connect one machine, maybe via dial-up, that is _not_ connected to your network, and then burn the updated unstable archive on a CD-RW say, once a week, and use that as your source? The internal network would never actually be connected to the Net. Of course, you're still downloading unstable, and could in principle be subject to a trojan attack that way, but the chances are pretty low, and are no higher than if you connected through your home machine and brought in the full archive every week. That is of course what I want to do. Actually, there is no difference if its a dial-up standalone pc at work or my cable connection at home. The problem is: how do I know _which_ packages are new and which do I have to fetch to update my standalone mirror (without keeping a second mirror at the dial-up/home-cable machine). thanks, Markus -- Markus Fischer, http://josefine.ben.tuwien.ac.at/~mfischer/ EMail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Public Key: http://josefine.ben.tuwien.ac.at/~mfischer/C2272BD0.asc PGP Fingerprint: D3B0 DD4F E12B F911 3CE1 C2B5 D674 B445 C227 2BD0 - Free Software For A Free World -

pcmcia and nfs
Hi all, I'm running unstable on my Toshiba Satellite with pcmcia support, works very good. I'm now trying to move to nfs mounted homedirs from my server. Mounting works without problem, but at boot up mountnfs.sh from /etc/init.d/ always gets executed before the pcmcia network is up. Manually adding a link in my runlevel directory /etc/rc2.d/ after pcmcia is called works. But I was not able to figure out _where_ mountnfs.sh gets executed before pcmcia support. I tried find /etc -type f|xargs grep mountnfs but no file except /etc/init.d/mountnfs.sh showed the mountnfs string. I'm a little confused about this. kind regards, Markus -- Markus Fischer, http://josefine.ben.tuwien.ac.at/~mfischer/ EMail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Public Key: http://josefine.ben.tuwien.ac.at/~mfischer/C2272BD0.asc PGP Fingerprint: D3B0 DD4F E12B F911 3CE1 C2B5 D674 B445 C227 2BD0 - Free Software For A Free World - pgpYpcWuyWwRi.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: Netscape segfaulting, cont'd
Once upon a time (around Tue, Aug 24, 1999 at 10:15:51AM -0500 i think) Jonathan Hayward told me : I got 4.5.1 from the Debian website, and it's segfaulting as well. Does Netscape just not like my system? I got the same problem after upgrading to potato. The only way (for me) to solve this was downgrading; installing slink (again). Markus
