Do you need help?X

Sorry for jumping in (you *are* discussing this on a user list :D), but=20 IM*VERY*H opinion it sounds like a bug in apt fetcher.

I had some problems with this -- getty, it seems, felt rushed, and would not let me log in; so, I changed things back. I'm still manually logging into fluxbox with "startx /usr/bin/startfluxbox". This works. And, I have figured out, via google, how to give my regular user the options of rebooting and/or halting the system. But, automatic login and automatic startx still elude me. I have gotten rid of gdm, though.

Can we help you?X

Automatic startx should be as easy as adding it to .bash_profile (not=20 =2Ebashrc to not have it run for every xterm), but I didn't test it.

Andrei

Can't find what you're looking for?X

Hi Daniel. I'm sure that's true with Apt, or Aptitude on Debian, but doesn't work with Apt on Fedora. I havn't had to hold back packages on my Debian installs, and this is a specific problem with a version of fltk that comes with Fedora 7, and 8, and causes problems with ZynAddSubFX. Using the fltk version from FC5 resolves the problem.

I've already posted this to the list, but these are the lines added to /etc/apt/preferences that have resolved the pinning problem.

Package: fltk
Pin: version 1.1.7*
Pin-Priority: 1001

According to this no fltk versions later than 1.1.7* will be installed if later versions are available. In my case the 1.1.8* versions are causing the problem. Running apt-get dist-upgrade -s verifies that fltk is not going to be upgraded, so the pinning is working thank goodness, as this has been a bit of a performance trying to find the correct lines to enter in /etc/apt/preferences.

Thanks to all who replied, even though this wasn't a Debian problem, although Apt is Debian, and I just happen to like using it on Fedora.

Nigel.

Currently running Debian Sarge, Etch, and Lenny, Kubuntu (Dapper), Archlinux, Fedora 1,2,3,5,6,7, and 8, Slackware 10.0, and Gentoo.

btw. I still havn't received a reply for the problem from the Fedora list. they're probably too occupied with Yum to be bothered with Apt.

Don't know where to look next?X

I have a clean install of Debian 4.0 R1 with Apache 2.2.3-4 installed. I can not get cgi scripts to execute from the website. I have researched the Apache site and tried both of the following:  

  1. Under apache2.conf, I added <Directory /var/www/cgi-bin > Options +ExecCGI AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl </Directory>
  2. Under httpd.conf, I added # # ScriptAlias: This controls which directories contain server scripts. # ScriptAliases are essentially the same as Aliases, except that # documents in the realname directory are treated as applications and # run by the server when requested rather than as documents sent to the client. # The same rules about trailing "/" apply to ScriptAlias directives as to # Alias. # ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/cgi-bin/" # # "/var/www/cgi-bin" should be changed to whatever your ScriptAliased # CGI directory exists, if you have that configured. # <Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin"> AllowOverride None Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from 192.168.1 </Directory>

Neither of these has allowed my cgi scripts to run. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?  

Sincerely,
Jon

I forgot, once you've got the regular BIOS diagnostics section, Ctrl-A or something will get you more advanced stuff. Its been a while. What is the problem you're having? Doug.

Have you updated your exim configuration to send as a valid DNS resolvable host name, as well as set up DNS for that host name? I think that is your problem, here. I have no problems sending email from quite a few hosts, using a similar path as you describe, but I have configured the local MTA on each box to send as valid DNS resolvable names: mshuler@kokopelli:~$ sudo grep -r kokopelli /etc/exim4/ /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf:dc_readhost='kokopelli.pbandjelly.org' /etc/exim4/email-addresses:mshuler@kokopelli.pbandjelly.org: michael@pbandjelly.org mshuler@kokopelli:~$ host kokopelli.pbandjelly.org kokopelli.pbandjelly.org is an alias for kokopelli.homeunix.org. kokopelli.homeunix.org has address 10.9.109.79 The above is my laptop. Hope that helps! -- Kind Regards, Michael

Yes. Not only automatic startx, but the solution to all of life's problems should be as easy as adding it to .bash_profile. At any rate, I did solve getting my computer to autologin, with the help of http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=16348 It seems that editing /home/user/.bash_profile, and editing /etc/inittab, is necessary. Further, using rungetty rather than getty is also helpful, apparently. Briefly, for the autologin, in the /etc/inittab file, I changed the first line from: 1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1 to (note, my user is "mark"): 1:2345:respawn:/sbin/rungetty tty1 --autologin mark and, for both starting x, and, specifically, starting fluxbox as I've set it up, I added the following to .bash_profile: if [ -z "$DISPLAY" ] && [ $(tty) == /dev/tty1 ]; then while [ 1 == 1 ] do startx /usr/bin/startfluxbox sleep 10 done fi Mark
