Hi newbie here again (but from new gmail account)... I tried to find
ps2.exe in apt-cache ... it showed that there was a IBM thinkpad
config tool (tpctl... which you, Thomas, are the maintainer), but it
is only for the IBM thinkpad (which I'm sure you know). The thing
talked about re-assembling a package myself. That is waaaay over my
head. I tried the package search on the debian site, no luck. What
should I do? Where do I get ps2.exe? And how do I run it, after I
do get it? Is there something I could read that would help me?

I am using a IBM Aptiva Computer (1996 model, the original pentiums)
Pentium 133Mhz (the classic). I'm using sarge... and I don't know
what my kernel is (lilo maybe??). Thanks for you help.

-f.j.

Well, I have an HD enclosure (Pyro Dual Link Drive Kit DLX-185) with a
regular IDE HD inside of it. The enclosure has two connectors: one is a
USB
2.0 and the other is a Firewire port.

I had problems getting filesystem corruption when I used it with the USB
port (at the time, I didn't have a Firewire card), with the SCSI layer
saying that the media was removed from the device (something quite weird
indeed, as it was in the middle of an rsync and I obviously didn't mess
with it when I was doing such copies).

It was reproducible, but I didn't have the opportunity of testing it
further and sending a proper bug report to the kernel mailing list.

Now that I have a vanilla Firewire card, I can use the same drive without
any problems. In fact, I'm using this drive with an HFS+ filesystem so
that
I can easily share data between my Mac and Linux.

kernel-source-2.6.10

I've got an external USB2/Firewire enclosure with a 60GB drive.

When the drive was formatted reiserfs, it would always puke trying
to copy large amounts (10+GB) of data at the same time. This was
whether using tar or cp.

ext3 handles it fine, though.

Greetings all,

I have multiple Cisco ATA 188 phone adapters behind a Debian Woody 2.4
kernel acting as a NAT to a single Internet IP address.

The phones all make outgoing calls just fine. The incoming calls cannot
get through.

Does anyone have an iptables NAT script that will allow the phones to
work both ways?

Here are my current entries:

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s $MASQ_NET -o $EXT -j MASQUERADE

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d $EXTIP -p tcp --dport 16384 -j DNAT
--to-dest 10.10.0.12:16384
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d $EXTIP -p udp --dport 16384 -j DNAT
--to-dest 10.10.0.12:16384

iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -p udp -d 10.10.0.12 --dport 16384 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -p tcp -d 10.10.0.12 --dport 16384 -j ACCEPT

where 16384 is the media port on the ATA188 (there is a set for each ATA188)
the -FORWARD's don't seem to do anything



Can you tell us what $MASQ_NET and $EXT refer to? Which interface is
eth0? etc.

Dave.


Hi Dave,


MASQ_NET is 10.10.0.0/24 - this is the internal NAT'd network
on eth1
$EXT - is the eth0
adapter that is using $EXT_IP on the public network
$INT - is eth1 the
internal 10.10.0.0/24 network

Thanks

j2sdk1.4. If he tries to remove this package, he gets:

2) the following procedure if 1) above does not work.
a. dpkg --listfiles <package name

b. Edit the file /var/lib/dpkg/status
Remove the section for your badly broken package

c. Edit the file /var/lib/dpkg/available

Just wanted to know if somebody has seen this before or if somebody
has other suggestions.

Yes, I'm a newbie and already have encountered this several times. I
don't know about the steps you list, but the apt-howto gives some
'survival' advice:

dpkg --configure -a
apt-get -f install
repeat until problem goes away

I found these 2 steps didn't succeed for me. My work around was to
install the older version of the package (in your case j2sdk1.4) and it
overwrote and purged out the bad junk. So, if you have an old version
available, give that a try. For j2sdk1.4, you may have difficulty
finding an earlier version .. if so, use the 'java-package' to convert
the java source from sun into a debian package, and then install your
new (good) java over the old junk.

Whatever the level of frustration, don't give up, because it will work
through eventually.

paul



The second method I had suggested (brute force) worked for him. He
discovered none of the package files were actually installed. So he just
needed to delete the related info from the dpkg 'status' and 'available'
files and he was able to upgrade his machine.

Hi Christopher,
Thanks for replying yet again ....... and sorry to keep banging on

When you plug in the card, linux'll probably not do anything, since your
kernel might not have the modules needed loaded into it. In which case
you should do

modprobe "module_name"

depending on which car you've got (and which kernel you've got).

For instance:

modprobde pdc202xx_new


OK - so my dumb-ass question is .... how do you know what to probe
for? can you probe for just part of the name e.g. modprobede pdc* - or
do you have to know the precise name of the module to probe for?

Thanks yet again .......

I downloaded the XFree 4.1 drivers in .rpm format to
my WinXP system. I apt-get'ed the 'alien' package

idea what to do next!

How should I burn the CD-R? How do I mount the CD
once I put it into the Linux computer's CD drive? (I
tried but failed at the command prompt doing this).
Once its mounted, what should I type into 'alien' to
properly convert and install it? I need some hand
holding here, because I haven't been able to find the
answers on my own. Thanks for your help in advance!

[rebouncing this to the list]
You burn the CD-R as you would any normal data CD in windows. Then you
take it to your linux computer. Now the thing is, you can probably do
"mount /cdrom". The mount manpage has a lot of info about it, but it
can be hard to understand for a beginner so basically it's something
like this:
mount <device> <dir>
This will mount the given device to the dir. Now the device should be
something like /dev/hdx where the x is either a,b,c or d. Usually hda
is your hard disk (first device on the first controller). And hdc is
your cdrom (first device on the second controller). Then you can do:
mount /dev/hdc /cdrom
Make sure that the directory /cdrom exists. If that is not the right
one, try hdb and hdd first.

Once this works just run alien on the file like this:
alien <filename>
so from your root dir:
alien /cdrom/*.rpm
I'm not sure if this will use your root dir as its working directory.
If it tries to land the generated file in /cdrom it will obviously not
work and you'll have to copy the file over first. (with mv).

After that just use dpkg to install it:
dpkg --force-all -i *.deb
that will install it and ignore any dependencies (which is
unfortunate). Then, as the readme says just run fglrxconfig.

Anyway a lot of this might be easier if you just look up a linux
beginners howto and read that. For instance at http://www.tldp.org

Wim

The problem you are seeing with nfs is probably because you are
"hard mounting" instead of "soft mounting". See the man page for nfs.




Note that the Linux NFS developers actively discourage people from
using "soft" since it causes more troubles than it solves.

Try NFS mounting with the options "tcp,intr" (see man mount / man nfs).

Mike.


Well "soft"didn't fix it - I've changed to "intr".

It may be possible I'm going about this the wrong way. Can anyone
point me to some troubleshooting techiques for NFS? I can't find any
relevant log entries. "showmount" output - while the share is
apparently working - from the client yields:

mount clntudp_create: RPC: Program not registered

Today I was lucky enough to be working at the problem workstation
when it experienced a failure. Switching to a console terminal, I
saw "server not responding" messages. Ping worked just fine.


also, output from "rpcinfo -u server/client nlockmgr" is:

There are some hints to get alsa working but a very

There are serveral users that already install linux in

useful

I was having lots of trouble with NFS when it was being carried over a
wireless link (a wireless bridge between my upstairs and downstairs). I
was getting the same errors you're getting.

I fixed it by using NFS over tcp - it defaults to UDP. If you add the
"tcp" option to the mount options, it will use TCP. You may want to give
that a try.

additional info: I extended the to_epp.c to test out the
data port of the given parallel port after changing it
to EPP. This app works fine when my device is not
connected (i.e. reads back the same byte that I wrote),
but with my device connected it always reads back a 0x04
regardless of the byte I wrote. This seems to implicate
my device as not behaving properly... except that my
device DOES behave properly when attached to the std
parallel port.

Hi,

so i tried several STOCK debian kernels 2.6.9 and 2.6.10 to get a 2.6

lvm2 going. Both of them give again this error:

Have the LVM modules been loaded properly? Are they listed in
/etc/mkinitrd/modules? What are the scripts on your initrd doing to
activate the volume group? Do they try modprobing the modules just in
case? Are all the relevant libraries and executables for the LVM tools
being included on the initrd?

I've just set up a root on LVM - under 2.4.24 - and had a lot of
problems similar to this most of which turned out to be due to the LVM
shared libraries and the executables in /lib/lvm-10 not being included
on the initrd. I too was finding mkinitrd wasn't behaving quite as I
expected in certain places. I ended up listing the contents of
/lib/lvm-10 and /lib/modules/2.4.24 explicitly in /etc/mkinitrd/files.
I also had an mkinitrd script to copy the shared libraries into the
initrd and run ldconfig on them, and make the LVM nodes in $INITRDDIR/dev.
You can read more at http://pigeon.dyndns.org/stuff/lvm-root/lvm-root.html
- I know your 2.4.24 worked, but it looks to me as if your 2.6.x isn't
working for similar reasons to those that gave me trouble on 2.4.24.

If you set DELAY=n in /etc/mkinitrd/mkinitrd.conf there will be a
pause of n seconds immediately after the initrd has been loaded during
which you can press return to get a shell. You can then execute the
scripts by hand, a line at a time, and see what's happening and where
it goes wrong. You'll probably want to include some useful executables
in /etc/mkinitrd/exe to assist your debugging and avoid those "oh
bollocks, I can't run ls" moments. I've got these, in addition to the
LVM ones:

/bin/cp
/bin/mv
/bin/ln
/bin/rm
/bin/ls
/sbin/lsmod
/bin/mkdir
