Re: [Trinux-talk] Trinux Remote Control

[<tb...@ti...>]

Also be sure that if you generated an SSH version 1 key that you put it 
in:
authorized_keys

If it is an SSH version 2 key, it gets put into:
authorized_keys2

Re: [Trinux-talk] Trinux Remote Control

[<tb...@ti...>]

I have looked at opensshd and cleaned it up a little.

I need to submit it to Matt, to make sure I didn't break anything he is 
doing.

I think I fixed most of these sshd problems some people are having...

Look for an updated opensshd.tgz and openssh.tgz soon.

[Trinux-talk] ext2tools.tgz package

[Ignacio N. de la T. <ign...@te...>]

    Hi, i'm booting from a trinux boot floopy created with rawrite.
    Now I want to add the "ext2tools.tgz" in boot time. So, I downloaded =
the package, put it into c:\trinux\ext2tools.tgz, c:\ is hda1, and added =
"ext2tools" in a:\tux\config\pkglist.
When it scans for packages in IDE Disk, it doesn't find any.
If I try to load the package manually, pkgadd =
/hda1/trinux/ext2tools.tgz, it returns me an error 'cause it doesn't =
find libcom_err.so.2. Do I need to install anything else?

How can I add the ext2tools.tgz package, please?

Thanks in advance,
    Ignacio

RE: [Trinux-talk] pcmcia problems

[Matthew F. <mf...@ci...>]

Does this problem exist in Tim Burton's .iso image as well, because the
.iso I released (80rc2) is missing a package or two. Hence the need for
the workaround.

RE: [Trinux-talk] pcmcia problems

[<pm...@de...>]

Hi Michael

I have had similar problems to yours.  A workaround that was suggested to me
was to manually unpack the required driver files after the system has
booted.

To test if this will work do it manually first.
mount /dev/hdc /cdrom
tar -C / -xzvf /cdrom/trinux/pcmcia-bin.tgz
tar -C / -xzvf /cdrom/trinux/pcmcia-coremods.tgz
tar -C / -xzvf /cdrom/trinux/<whatever other driver files you need>

Then initialise pcmcia 

/etc/pcmcia

If this works dump all this into the "last" start-up script and you should
be away.

Hope this helps.

If anyone knows of a better way to do this please let me know.

Phill

Hi there.

I'm trying to use trinux from the boot CD on my laptop, a toshiba
satellite 335cdt. It boots fine, but doesn't recognize my ethernet
card. The card type is 3Com Megahertz XJ10BT. According to some research,
the necessary driver is smc91c92_cs.o, which seems to be on the CD, but

Re: [Trinux-talk] usr size

[David G. M. <dgl...@gm...>]

I would love to see a more customisable linuxrc
without having to rebuild a initrd.gz or dig into the img inside the iso...

This could make CD booting or floppy booting or floppy+HD more easy to
accomplish.
Many time I have seen trinux downloading from the network while the package
were local
(on CD or on HD) due to going undetected or wrong directory name or no ide.o
or god knows what else.

Without the right building environment it is very difficult.
(now with the latest email on mailing list, things get easyer to understand
however).

I'm assuming you've installed

mods)
# getpkg netutil.tgz         (full versions of
mount/umount)

you can also tail -f /var/log/messages to see if the
volumes were mounted and/or do a tcpdump

Re: [Trinux-talk] usr size

[Matthew F. <mat...@ya...>]

Right now it is hard-coded in linuxrc and
automatically determined by your RAM size. In the the
latest version of linuxrc/initrd.gz I'm testing right
now there is a user configurable file that allows you
to specify the size and location of partitions (such
as a real hard drive). This is particularly useful for
low-memory machines.

Re: [Trinux-talk] Trinux/LaBrea Network Image

[Matthew F. <mat...@ya...>]

How much RAM do you have on the system? Does df reveal
that your /usr partition is 100% used?

If You can trim down the packages in
A:\tux\config\pkglist to prevent /usr from filling up.

If you just want to run labrea you should be able to
get by with only

baselib.tgz
system.tgz
labrea.tgz

if you've got an 8MB machine

if you want bash and an editor add:

term.tgz
nano.tgz (or vi.tgz)
bash.tgz

Re: [Trinux-talk] Trinux/LaBrea Network Image

[<tb...@ti...>]

Perhaps you are getting corrupted data thru the Ethernet Port..

Try downloading a package onto another machine (wget.tgz might be handy),
and put it on a dos floppy.  After you have your Trinux machine up, mount
the floppy and see if gzip still thinks the wget.tgz file is bad.  Once
you have wget installed, try grabbing wget.tgz with wget, and compare what
you get thru the Ethernet port with the good package you installed.  I
think the size and/or checksums will differ.

I have been using the network 0.80-rc2 floppy image with no problems...

If that isn't it, then perhaps a bad floppy?

[Trinux-talk] Trinux/LaBrea Network Image

[Long, C. <CL...@ps...>]

I'm trying to get LaBrea running on a spare Micron we have lying around;
hardware all seems to work well using the 'network' 0.80-rc2 floppy image,
recognizes and configures the 3com NIC and whatnot, but I keep hitting a
wall when it tries to get packages down from the net. Unfortunately I've
exhausted my resources in deciphering out the rather cryptic error message;
hence my question here.
 
After going out to the package server (generally
<http://www.io.com/~mdfranz/trinux/pkg>
http://www.io.com/~mdfranz/trinux/pkg/ or http://trinux.sourceforge.net/pkg/
<http://trinux.sourceforge.net/pkg/> ) I get this after a failed attempt to
get each and every package: 'Invalid GZIP magic'. Is this similar to a
CRC/checksum mismatch or something? I'm stumped.

Re: [Trinux-talk] Can't get SSH to work properly..

[<tb...@ti...>]

I suppose you are booting from floppy and have got your network up OK.

Then loaded the opensshd and openssh packages.

Did you create a host key?

Did you generate a public/private key and install the public key in 
/root/.ssh/authorized_keys and/or authorized_keys2?

What Application are you using to try to connect? (openssh? putty?)

Is it set to use the same version of ssh as the key you have installed?

SSH can be tricky to get set-up.  File permissions matter to SSH.  Make 
sure that your authorized_keys file is not world and group writable, and 
owned by root.  All of the folders in the path leading up to the keys file 
need to be NOT writable by group and other, I believe.

You can fire up ssh in debug mode, and watch some messages that might give 
some insight into what is going wrong..  sshd -v -v -v or something like 
that.

Since there is no password file in trinux, there can be no password
authentication.  You must use key pairs.

It did work OK for me, but I have setup lots of SSH.  I was connecting 
from another unix machine running openssh.

Note also that the init script for ssh, is in a state of flux, and may not 
be doing what you think it is.  Check the script.
