cron-apt [2005-12-05]

Endlich habe ich mein Tool gefunden, mit cron-apt kann man, wie der Name ja schon fast sagt, via cron automatisierte Updates durchfuehren. Die Einrichtung geht flink, die Logs kann man sich via Mail senden lassen. *froi*

external ipw2200-1.0.8 compile problem (not the driver included in 2.6.14.3

The driver for the Intel(R) IPW 2200 card also known as 0000:02:02.0 Network controller: Intel Corp. PRO/Wireless 2200BG (rev 05) didn't compile cleanly as supposed to. Also some major design changes in the kernel make things difficult as for example adding the 1.0.0 ipw2200 driver into the kernel 2.6.14.x while there is additionally an external kernel module also available.

Not to forget the silent inclusion of wext which will be used from 2.6.13.x on. So using wpa_supplicant will be called: 

wpa_supplicant -Dwext -i eth1 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -d

instead of ipw you write wext.

compiling the modules results in linker errors modprobing the modules doesn't work and will result in this errors: $ dmesg

solution

Install kernel 2.6.14.3 from source and READ the documentation coming with ieee80211-1.1.6! Afterwards reboot and install ieee80211-1.1.6 with "make" and "make install". If the tool complains about wrong values in /usr/src/linux/.config you might have to recompile the kernel. I had to disable all other wlan drivers in the kernel (as orinoco for example) because using ieee80211-1.1.6 broke things I didn't understand. Afterwards the ipw2200-1.0.8 should compile and install without any problem. AGAIN: I'm not using the kernel ipw2200 driver (1.0.0) which comes with linux-2.6.14.3! In the next kernel release there will be support for ipw2200-1.0.8 which will make this article obsolete in 99% of all cases.

Since 2.6.14, the linux kernel includes Wireless Extensions version 18+ so you might need to update your tools as: root@Kahn:/home/joachim# dpkg -l | grep wireless 

ii  ieee80211-sour 1.1.6-2        Source for the 802.11 (wireless) network sta
ii  kwifimanager   3.4.2-2        wireless lan manager for KDE
ii  wireless-tools 27+28pre11-1   Tools for manipulating Linux Wireless Extens

kdm problem

Vor kurzem hatte ich das Problem, dass die Tastatur keine Eingaben mehr zugelassen hat. Stattdessen wurde das System fuer einen kurzen Moment eingefrohren.

Problem

Genauer handelt es sich um den Autologin von KDM in kde 3.4 (aus debian unstable). Das Problem erschien zum ersten Mal, als ich von 3.2 auf 3.4 bzw auch von fruehreren Version upgedatet habe.

Loesung

Ein einfacher Befehl wirkt wunder: 

dpkg --purge kdm --force-all

Sicher kann man auch an der /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc rumfeilen, aber diese Loesung ist einfach und schnell.

Danach einfach: 

apt-get -f install

bzw 

apt-get install kdm

ausfuehren. Und kdm neu konfigurieren. Viel spass.

tastaturlayout problem

Nachdem ich auf xorg umgesattelt bin, hat mein altGr + q kein @ mehr erzeugt und spuckt ganz viele fehler aus. Ein weiteres Merkmal war, dass ich mittels Ctrl+Alt+F1 nicht in eine Konsole umschalten konnte.

cure

After I didn't find a working solution here: http://www.debianforum.de/forum/viewtopic.php?p=174292

I asked a friend who had a working solution:

I removed most packages which were needed by xfree86 

ii  xfree86-common    4.3.0.dfsg.1-14  X Window System (XFree86) infrastructure
ii  xserver-xfree86    4.3.0.dfsg.1-14  the XFree86 X server

I removed them with: 

dpkg --purge xfree86-common xserver-xfree86 --force-all

Use the --force-all method because normally you can't remove packages which are needed by other packages. Also remove other packages ... the problem here is that I can't remember what I removed ..? Maybe you should have a look at it dependencies with "aptitude". Also use the --force-all and --purge method there.

Afterwards issue: 

apt-get -f install

Which should hopefully repair your system by installing the missing packages as those which were just removed in a way only installing packages which are really needed for xserver-xorg.

ipw2200 1.0.4 2.6.12 issue

I had some problems with the ipw2200 module and the 2.6.12 kernel. For my luck the problem with the redifinition was solved already: here http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=7492632&forum_id=38938

But afterwards I got this error:

I looked into net/ieee80211.h in the ipw2200 dir and added the definition found in /lib/modules/2.6.12/build/include/linux/ somewhere. 

#define ETH_ALEN 6               /* Octets in one ethernet addr   */

Let's say: I don't understand why this was missing and why nobody else had found this issue so far but adding this line of code into net/ieee80211.h made it work.
