I don't know what version you are using.... ;-( so
do, on whatever version you are running.



aptitude or apt-cache search jdk  .  You pick the one you want to
install.

You can add the non-free repository to your /etc/apt/sources.list and
then run:
aptitude update
aptitude install sun-java5-jdk

All this needs to be done as root.  Reply back to this list if you
have trouble with these steps, and someone will provide more details.

PS: Just an idle question of mine, what's linux 9.0?  The current
version of debian is 4.0 (etch) and the kernel is 2.6.

I used the synoptic package manager to install ssh, and according to 
that program openssh-client, openssh-server, and ssh are all installed. 
I'm trying to connect from my laptop to the Linux computer using sftp. 
I can connect through ssh.

As far as I know there's no firewall on this computer, I didn't set one 
up as I have a router with firewall capability already in place. So 
unless the installer places a firewall.

Things just don't "settle on their own".  

The safe procedure is simply to uninstall tetex, making sure to tell
the package tool (apt-get, aptitude, or synaptic) to PURGE the
configuration files.

Then simply install texlive.

The change from tetex to texlive should be invisible to the end user.

review your /etc/ssh/sshd_config and confirm there is a Subsystem line
for sftp. mine looks like this:

Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server

and it works.=20

of course, restart sshd to test.=20

and have you opened the ports on your router?

looks like you need 115 open for sftp

ooh. and there too. learn something everyday. I had been running it on
a per user basis and decided that was a pain because 1) my users were
never going to mess with their fetchmailrc's and 2) then I would have
multiple fetchmail's running. Neither of these were desirable, so I
stuck them all in root and ran it like that.=20

Thanks for the pointer.

interesting. /etc/services shows 115, but google shows many references
to 22, which makes sense if its over ssh. So I withdraw my statement.

Why would you be annoyed that a service isn't up and running?  The
base install doesn't include ssh.  Someone else could be "quite annoyed"
that there's no apache running.  

Do you have vsftpd installed?  Have you read its documentation?

I would think that you would send the bug to the people from whom you
received the package.  If its a debian package, send the bug to debian.
As they say, the bug may only exist in Debian.  The upstream people
won't want to track down a 'downstream' bug.

I've never needed to.  I run fetchmail out-of-the-box as a daemon with
the fechmailrc in /etc (no-per-user fetchmail).   It just works.

What errors do you get?  Send us your fetchmailrc (with the password and
other sensitive things XXX'd out.  Also, ensure that
/etc/default/fetchmail has START_DAEMON=yes.

I think that you are saying that in both cases, both cards are installed
in the box.  The problem is that one of the copper ports stops working
when the fiber port is connected to something.  Correct?

Give us the output of 
	#dmsg | grep -i eth
	#lspci | grep -i eth

And tell us which port is the fibre and which ports are on the 4-port
card.  Also, does you MB have its own ports?

The only 'jdk' I see in aptitude is 'sun-java5-jdk', version 1.5.0-10-3.

Use your package manager (I use aptitude interactivly) and select this
package.  Apt will take care of installing any dependancies.

Check in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config that the following line exists (at the
end): 

  Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server

Can you provide us how did you test your SFTP server and the _exact_ error
you got ?

Hi, Is there a way to set the default screen
resolution (to 1280x768. perhaps) for a debian Gnome
desktop ? I have 4 machines, but I have only 1
monitor. Currently, I am using a Belkin monitor
switching device to switch from one machine to another
whenever I need to see or work on a machine.=20

The problem is if there is not a monitor/screen
attaching to it when the machine is booting up, the
screen resolution will be set to 640x480 by default.
So when I switch to this machine, the screen and image
look very bad. I wonder whether I can set the default
so I would not have this problem.

Many thanks

See if you can sftp from the Linux computer to itself. This will 
eliminate any router issues, etc.

Hmmm. If you snoop an SFTP transfer, it looks like that only TCP port 22 is
used.

Hello!

I want to install Debian Etch on my new box with motherboard that has for=
=20
the storage the nvidia nForce 430i chipset. This chipset support RAID=20
1 configuration.

I want to install Etch on two SATA disk with the hardware RAID 1=20
setup.

I setup in the BIOS the RAID 1 for these disks. I have only these two=20
disks (2 x 320 GB) in the box.

I want to use the downloaded debian-40r0-i386-CD-1.iso for this=20
installation.

Will Etch recognize the RAID 1 BIOS setup during the installation?

I find on the internet documentation about hardware RAID [1] but can't=20
find in there description about installing a GNU/Linux system on hw=20
RAID 1 out there.

Can I install Etch on this nvidia hardware RAID 1, or perhaps should I=20

Any advices will be appreciated!

Because the last time I installed the system SSH and SFTP did come with
